  • Patent number: 11937316
    Abstract: Multi-link selection based on Transmit Power Control (TPC) may be provided. A computing device may receive Multi-Link Device (MLD) association information associated with a client device. The MLD association information may describe MLD links the client device may require. A set of MLD links available on a network may be determined based on the MLD association information. The determined set of MLD links may then be sent to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20230014028
    Abstract: Methods for diagnosing propensity to exhibit acquired peripheral neuropathy in dogs are described. The methods and kits test dogs for presence of a disease-associated genomic variant. Presence of the genomic variant indicates an increased likelihood of the dog developing an acquired peripheral neuropathy. This information can be used to guide preemptive clinical treatment of the animal for peripheral neuropathy and to choose dogs for selective breeding programs.

  • Publication number: 20210095346
    Abstract: Method and kits for diagnosing propensity to non-contact cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) in a dog are described. The method includes isolating genomic DNA from a dog and then analyzing the genomic DNA from step for a single nucleotide polymorphism occurring in selected loci that have been determined to be associated with the CCLR phenotype via a genome-wide association study.

  • Patent number: 10724098
    Abstract: Methods and kits for diagnosing propensity to exhibit acquired peripheral neuropathy in dogs are described. The methods and kits test dogs for presence of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) TIGRP2P18586_rs8746233. Presence of the SNP indicates an increased likelihood of the dog exhibiting an acquired peripheral neuropathy. This information can be used to guide preemptive clinical treatment of the animal for peripheral neuropathy and to choose dogs for selective breeding programs.

  • Patent number: 9301726
    Abstract: A CT machine for scanning a stationary patient may provide for two-bar linkage articulated arms to move a CT gantry in an arbitrary trajectory. In one embodiment, the gantry may fit within a cavity to expose a central platform, which may support a patient for vertical scans in which the gantry housing rises from the cavity after the patient is so positioned.

  • Publication number: 20080045485
    Abstract: Method of diagnosing persistent, chronic synovitis and progressive joint degradation in the joint of a mammal. The method including providing a test sample comprising synovial fluid, cell or tissue from the joint of a mammal; detecting the presence of bacterial DNA, measuring the concentration of one or more biomarkers being cathepsin K, MMP-2 and -9, cathepsin S, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, invariant chain, CD4+ T-lymphocytes, CD8+ T-lymphocytes, CD44+ mononuclear cells, Toll-like receptor-2, Toll-like receptor-9, or a combination thereof; and, comparing the concentration of the biomarker from the test sample to a corresponding biomarker concentration in a control sample from healthy dogs, or an internal PBMC control sample, wherein a statistically significant elevated concentration of the biomarker in the test sample indicates that the mammal's joint is diseased.
