Patent number: 11962746Abstract: A stereoscopic vision system uses at least two cameras having different parameters to image a scene and create stereoscopic views. The different parameters of the two cameras can be intrinsic or extrinsic, including, for example, the distortion profile of the lens in the cameras, the field of view of the lens, the orientation of the cameras, the positions of the cameras, the color spectrum of the cameras, the frame rate of the cameras, the exposure time of the cameras, the gain of the cameras, the aperture size of the lenses, or the like. An image processing apparatus is then used to process the images from the at least two different cameras to provide optimal stereoscopic vision to a display.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: IMMERVISION, INC.Inventors: Patrice Roulet, Jocelyn Parent, Pierre Konen, Simon Thibault, Pascale Nini, Xiaojun Du, Valentin Bataille, Jhinseok Lee

Publication number: 20230287070Abstract: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not benefited from innovative immunotherapies, mainly because of the lack of actionable immune targets. Novel tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) shared by a large proportion of AML cells are described herein. Most of the TSAs described herein derives from aberrantly expressed unmutated genomic sequences, such as intronic and intergenic sequences, which are not expressed in normal tissues. Nucleic acids, compositions, cells and vaccines derived from these TSAs are described. The use of the TSAs, nucleic acids, compositions, cells and vaccines for the treatment of leukemia such as AML is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: UNIVERSITE DE MONTREALInventors: Claude Perreault, Pierre Thibault, Sebastien Lemieux, Gregory Ehx, Marie-Pierre Hardy

Patent number: 11747186Abstract: A device comprises at least one pair of excitation electrodes forming a capacitor; a floorplan (e.g., a ground plane); and an electronic circuit. The device comprises at least one control electrode arranged at a distance from the capacitor. A switching circuit, of the device, comprises a switch having an open state and a closed state. The switching circuit is designed to apply, to the control electrode, an electric potential common to the floorplan when the switch is in the closed state. The switching circuit is also designed to leave a floating electrical potential for the control electrode when the switch is in the open state. The electronic circuit is designed to measure the mutual capacitance between the pair of excitation electrodes when the switch is in the open state and when it is in the closed state.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: UNIVERSITE GRENOBLE ALPESInventor: Pierre Thibault

Publication number: 20230242583Abstract: T cells, notably CD8 T cells, are known to be essential players in tumor eradication as the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in several cancers positively correlates with a good prognosis. To eliminate tumor cells, CD8 T cells recognize tumor antigens, which are MHC I-associated peptides present at the surface of tumor cells, with no or very low expression on normal cells. Described herein a proteogenomic approach using RNA-sequencing data from cancer and normal-matched mTEChi samples in order to identify non-tolerogenic tumor-specific antigens derived from (i) coding and non-coding regions of the genome, (ii) non-synonymous single-base mutations or short insertion/deletions and more complex rearrangements as well as (iii) endogenous retroelements, which works regardless of the sample's mutational load or complexity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Céline LAUMONT, Pierre THIBAULT, Sébastien LEMIEUX, Claude PERREAULT

Publication number: 20220170775Abstract: A device, for capacitive measurement of a height of a fluid in a tank, comprises at least one pair of capacitors extending in a longitudinal direction. A first capacitor forms first geometric patterns defining a first line capacitance. A second capacitor is opposite the first capacitor and forms second geometric patterns defining a second line capacitance. The first and second geometric patterns are arranged so that the first and second line capacitances, integrated in the longitudinal direction, have a sum that depends on the position of the fluid in the longitudinal direction. The first and second line capacitances, integrated in the longitudinal direction, have a difference that is a constant for reference positions of the fluid in the longitudinal direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2020Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Pierre Thibault, Alexandre Delorme, Alix Duclos
