  • Patent number: 11962746
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240089579
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to optical systems creating an optical image on an image sensor, the optical image having at least one foveated region of interest created using at least one localized magnification optical feature on an optical surface. The optical system can be useful to increase the number of infrared pixels that are used to image a specific target which is only in a part of the object scene, while still being able to image the whole scene in the RGB part of the spectrum. In a preferred embodiment, the optical system is used in an automotive scenario to image with higher resolution the driver in order to more efficiently run face tracking and recognition algorithms.

  • Patent number: 11809570
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing side-channel security vulnerabilities in a digital device. A first time sequence of measurements of side-channel related phenomena of the digital device, such as power draw or electromagnetic emissions is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20230287070
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11747186
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230242583
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230158132
    Abstract: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has not benefited from innovative immunotherapies, mainly because of the lack of actionable immune targets. Novel tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) specifically expressed by ALL 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, antibodies and vaccines derived from these TSAs are described. The use of the TSAs, nucleic acids, compositions, antibodies, cells and vaccines for the treatment of leukemia such as ALL is also described.

  • Publication number: 20220354937
    Abstract: Ovarian cancer, notably high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), the principal cause of death from gynecological malignancies in the world, has not significantly benefited from recent progress in cancer immunotherapy. While HGSC infiltration by lymphocytes correlates with superior survival, the nature of antigens that can elicit anti-HGSC immune responses is unknown. Novel tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) shared by a large proportion of ovarian tumors are described herein. Most of the TSAs (>80%) 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 ovarian cancer is also described.

  • Publication number: 20220170775
    Abstract: 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.
