Patent number: 11977579Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for resolving a meaning of an ambiguous calendar entry and recommending broadcast media based on the meaning. To this end, a media guidance application may detect a calendar entry specific to a user, and determine that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to an associated period of time. In response to determining that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to the associated period of time, the media guidance application may determine characteristics of the calendar entry and the user, and compute an estimated range of time corresponding to the calendar entry based on the characteristic of the calendar entry and the characteristic of the user. The media guidance application may then generate for display a recommendation of broadcast media based on the estimated range of time.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: ROVI GUIDES, INC.Inventors: Ashleigh Miller, Mario Sanchez, Phillip Teich, Carla Mack

Publication number: 20240105156Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include applying, via a sound reproduction system, sound cancellation that reduces an amplitude of various sound signals. The method further includes identifying, among the sound signals, an external sound whose amplitude is to be reduced by the sound cancellation. The method then includes analyzing the identified external sound to determine whether the identified external sound is to be made audible to a user and, upon determining that the external sound is to be made audible to the user, the method includes modifying the sound cancellation so that the identified external sound is made audible to the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Andrew Lovitt, Antonio John Miller, Philip Robinson, Scott Phillip Selfon

Publication number: 20210063411Abstract: Particular disclosed embodiments disclosed herein concern using a one or more various mass tags, which can be specifically deposited at targets through direct or indirect enzymatic-catalyzed transformation, to provide a method for identifying targets in tissue samples. The mass tags may be labeled with stable isotopes to produce mass tags having the same chemical structure but different masses. Mass codes produced by ionizing the mass tags are detected and/or quantified using mass spectrometry. The method can be used for multiplexed detection of multiple targets in a particular sample. In some embodiments, a map divided into sections representing sections of the tissue sample may be prepared, with the map sections including data corresponding to quantification data wherein the size of a mass peak is determined and correlated with the amount of a target for the corresponding tissue sample section.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2020Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Christopher Bieniarz, Jan Froehlich, Brian Daniel Kelly, Rui Hong, Mark Lefever, Phillip Miller, Hong Wang

Publication number: 20210007925Abstract: An exercise and standing transport unit includes a base, superstructure, motor, wheels, power source, and controller operably connected to carry a user, in a standing posture. From a sitting position on any furniture a user may pullup a standing posture on the base (surrounded by support forward, backward, and on each side) and then move at will along a support surface powered by the motor, and controlled through the controller forward, backward, and pivoting about a vertical axis. A user is thereby free to exercise upper body, lower body, and core, including muscles, bones, and tendons, even through daily living activities, thus maintaining mass and motivation for compliance, and circulation by movement to resist compression sores.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventor: Phillip Miller

Patent number: 9310302Abstract: Multiple modality contrast can be used to produce images that can be combined and rendered to produce images similar to those produced with wavelength absorbing stains viewed under transmitted white light illumination. Images obtained with other complementary contrast modalities can be presented using engineered color schemes based on classical contrast methods used to reveal the same anatomical structures and histochemistry, thereby providing relevance to medical training and experience. Dark-field contrast images derived from refractive index and fluorescent DAPI counterstain images are combined to produce images similar to those obtained with conventional H&E staining for pathology interpretation.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2010Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: VENTANA MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Karl Garsha, Gary Pestano, Michael Otter, Alexandra Dea Nagy, Ray B.
