  • Publication number: 20250131562
    Abstract: Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are commonly used to assess patients with known or suspected pathologies of the lungs and liver. In particular, identification and quantification of possibly malignant regions identified in these high-resolution images is essential for accurate and timely diagnosis. However, careful quantitative assessment of lung and liver lesions is tedious and time consuming. This disclosure describes an automated end-to-end pipeline for accurate lesion detection and segmentation.

  • Patent number: 12275666
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for treating a substrate, for example texturing a substrate. In some embodiments, a masking material is applied to a surface of the substrate in a predetermined pattern, the surface thereafter contacted with an etchant that removes the masking material. Contacting the surface with the etchant produces multiple co-located textures. In other embodiments, the masking step can be eliminated, and the etchant is applied in a predetermined pattern to produce multiple co-located textures. In still other embodiments, the substrate has a chemical composition, and the substrate is exposed to a leachant that leaches at least one constituent of the chemical composition to produce a substrate with a varying chemical composition at the substrate surface.

  • Publication number: 20250116269
    Abstract: An improvement to an air operated double diaphragm pump may include ball guides to restrain movement of balls relative to suction and delivery seats to substantially linear travel, as opposed to the prior art three-dimensional travel. The guides may have curved surfaces to reduce wear on balls over prior art designs. The pumps may have supports and an intake manifold whereby the intake manifold may be removed to access the intake balls and intake ball valve seals without requiring the pump to be completely removed from an installation as is required with prior art designs.

  • Patent number: 12259958
    Abstract: Connected computing enables the use of highly diverse environments that support operating frameworks for contemporary civilization. But computing productivity and trustworthiness are undermined by such environments' largely inchoate organization. These environments and their identity infrastructures are fragmented, and unnecessarily unreliable, insecure, and insufficiently informative due to current computing entity (e.g., resource) identification infrastructure design, which lacks root identification reliability. Such reliability is enabled herein by a fundamentally accurate and authenticity ensuring, near-existential or existential quality, biometrically and liveness based, portable identification and provenance infrastructure. Such an infrastructure provides ubiquitously available identification information that can be used universally for identification processes.

  • Publication number: 20250074573
    Abstract: An airplane door sill protector is provided. The sill protector is used to fit to a sill and fuselage of an airplane to prevent damage to the fuselage. The sill protector includes an elongated body having a base joined with a lip that forms a channel to receive the fuselage of the airplane door. A first and second curved section are positioned at opposing ends of the elongated body, such that each curved section arches away from a longitudinal axis and can accommodate a curved exterior edge of the airplane fuselage. The curved sections correspond to the curve of the fuselage and, in some embodiments, are extendable to fit openings of various sizes.
