Publication number: 20250045515Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating and modifying a workflow comprising a series of webpages based on an online document. A document management system accesses an online document selected by a user and classifies each field of the online document into one of a set of categories. For each category, the system generates a form webpage comprising questions corresponding to each field classified as the category and combines the generated webpages to create a workflow. The system may modify the workflow by generating and adding one or more additional form webpages based on one or more answers provided by an entity completing the webform page. In response to the entity completing the modified generated workflow, the system generates a completed document based on the online document and the answers provided by the entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Gustavo Both Bitdinger, Mangesh Prabhakar Bhandarkar, Nipun Dureja, Vasudevan Sampath, Robert Sherwin, Duane Robert Wald, Mark Spencer Seabourne, Claire Marie Small, David Minoru Hirotsu, Dia A Abulzahab, Li Xu, Brent Weston Robinett, Jerome Levadoux, Ellis David Berner, Jun Gao, Andrew James Ashlock, Jacob Scott Mitchell

Publication number: 20250043363Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for characterizing cancer testis antigen burden (“CTAB”), for predicting cancer survival outcomes using CTAB analysis, and for recommending and/or treating cancer using CTAB analysis. Particularly, aspects are directed to measuring expression of a panel of cancer testis antigen (CTA) gene markers in a tumor sample from a subject, determining a CTAB based on the measured expression of the CTA gene markers, classifying, by comparing to a reference CTAB score from the same cancer or tumor type, the CTAB score as a high-CTAB score or a low-CTAB score, and identifying the subject as responsive to a treatment wherein (i) the high-CTAB score is indicative of responsiveness to the treatment, or (ii) the low-CTAB score is indicative of responsiveness to the treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: OmniSeq, Inc.Inventors: Sarabjot PABLA, Robert John SEAGER, JR., Erik VAN ROEY, Shuang GAO, Jeffrey M.

Publication number: 20250023612Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method for use in a network node of transmitting channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) comprises: transmitting, to the wireless device, an indication of the subset of PRBs that the wireless device should use to measure CSI-RS; and transmitting CSI-RS on the indicated subset of PRBs. According to some embodiments, a method for use in a wireless device of receiving CSI-RS comprises: receiving an indication of a subset of PRBs that the wireless device should use to measure CSI-RS associated with an antenna port; and receiving CSI-RS on the indicated subset of PRBs. In some embodiments, the indication of the subset of PRBs that the wireless device should use to measure CSI-RS comprises a density value and a comb offset.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Siva MURUGANATHAN, Mattias FRENNE, Shiwei GAO, Stephen GRANT, Robert Mark HARRISON

Patent number: 11474543Abstract: An assembly for an ATIS that includes a tire inflation valve and a tire deflation valve, and further includes a safety valve that is configured to receive the tire pressure, deflate a tire when tire pressure is too high such as due to braking heat, road friction, ambient temperature, or other reasons. The safety valve prevents deflation of the tire through the deflation valve in the case of low source pressure, such as the pressure source fails or a leak in the source pressure system lines. The assembly is designed to be quickly serviced in the field, where the serviceable parts are very inexpensive. Multiple devices can be installed in parallel with the others, with one device per tire or tire set. The assembly can be a block configured to be attached to a hub cap of a vehicle. It also enables a sensor placement on the hub cap for hub temperature sensing as well as tire pressures sensing and reporting.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Inventor: Robert Gao

Patent number: 9925835Abstract: An assembly for an ATI comprising a tube member forming a portion of a rotary union to be removed through an opening in a wheel hub without removing the wheel hub from the vehicle axle. The tube member may include a hardened shaft that is coupled to a fixed conduit providing a pressurized air source to a tire installed on the wheel hub. A bushing and seal rotates with respect to the tube member to form the rotary union. The assembly is designed to be quickly serviced in the field, where the serviceable parts are very inexpensive.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: WHARTON VISION, LLCInventors: Clyde Stech, Robert Gao

Publication number: 20060007350Abstract: A rotatable wireless electrical coupler is disclosed that presents a wireless alternative to mechanical slip rings, such as are used in rotatable mechanical assemblies such as dome cameras. The rotatable wireless electrical coupler is designed to provide for the wireless transfer therethrough of electrical power, video and data signals. A rotatable multi-function transformer of the electrical coupler is designed primarily for the transfer of electrical power therethrough, and can also be used for the transfer of data signals. A rotatable electrical capacitor of the electrical coupler is designed primarily for the transfer of video data signals therethrough, and can also be used for the transfer of control and feedback data signals. In a dome camera, the rotatable wireless electrical coupler transfers power and data signals to and from a rotatable platform/section on which is mounted a video camera, pan and tilt motors and other associated electrical components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2004Publication date: January 12, 2006Applicant: Honeywell International, Inc.Inventors: Robert Gao, Edward Freeman, Kenneth Addy, Robert Lee
