Patent number: 11934413Abstract: A system, processes, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided method includes receiving a search query including one or more of a textual phrase, a document, or data including metadata from a user. For example, a processor may execute a theme-generating machine learning algorithm to generate a theme of the search query. Profiles of other users are identified as similar to a profile of the user may be located. A search history of each of the located other users may be located in the collected search history. Content in the searchable content that corresponds to the generated theme of the search query and according to a result of the evaluation of the located search history of each of the other users may be obtained. The obtained content may be scored based on a scoring algorithm and output a set of scored search results to the input/output device.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Piper Alexandra Coble, Natalie Kuhn, Paul Cho, Ryan M.

Patent number: 11725799Abstract: A dental light comprises at least one light emitting diode light source configured to produce a light beam and at least one collimating lens system situated to receive the light beam. The collimating lens system is configured to collect and collimate the light beam. The collimating lens system can additionally modify the beam through controlled diffusion or shape the beam using an aperture.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: A-dec, Inc.Inventors: Christopher C. Stone, Takaaki Nakagawa, Eric Bube, Randall Joel Lonsdale, Patrick W. Berry, Ryan M. Williams, Joseph Van Domelen, Jason Alvarez, Jonathan E. Myers

Publication number: 20230114946Abstract: A drug carrier nanoparticle has been synthesized that can specifically target the proximal tubules of the kidneys. The nanoparticles accumulate in the kidneys to a greater extent than other organs (e.g., up to 3 or more times greater in the kidney than any other organ). They can encapsulate many classes of drug molecules. The nanoparticles are biodegradable and release the drug as they degrade. The particles can sustainably release a drug within the kidneys for up to two months. The nanoparticles are useful for the treatment of diseases that affect the proximal tubules, such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, and renal failure; the study of relative blood flow to the renal cortex and medulla; and delivery of agents to treat gout.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Daniel A. HELLER, Ryan M. WILLIAMS

Patent number: 11185389Abstract: A dental delivery system can comprise a first fluid conduit for supplying fluid via the delivery system to a handpiece connected to a distal end of the conduit, a plurality of flow control adjusters positioned on the delivery system at a location remote from the at least one fluid conduit, and an indicator circuit comprising a plurality of sensors and a plurality of indicators corresponding to the plurality of flow control adjusters. A first flow control adjuster of the plurality of flow control adjusters can be operable to change a fluid flow rate in the first fluid conduit. A first sensor of the plurality of sensors can be operable to trigger a first indicator of the plurality of indicators in response to predetermined motion of the first fluid conduit to indicate that the first flow control adjuster is associated with the first fluid conduit.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: A-dec, Inc.Inventors: Ryan M. Williams, Kohler Johnson, Jason Alvarez

Publication number: 20210364507Abstract: Described herein are compositions useful for the detection of analytes. In certain embodiments, the invention relates among other things to DNA-encapsulated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with an antibody or other analyte-binding species, for detection and/or imaging of an analyte in a biological sample or subject. Other embodiments described herein include systems, methods, and devices utilizing such compositions for ex vivo biomarker quantification, tissue optical probes, and in vivo analyte detection and quantification. In one aspect the invention relates to a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) sensor, comprising a SWCNT; a polymer associated with the SWCNT; and an analyte-binding species. Detection of one or more analytes is achieved by measuring changes in fluorescence intensity, shifts in fluorescence wavelength, and/or other characteristics in the spectral characteristics of the described compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: Daniel A.
