  • Patent number: 12532078
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing illumination associated with image capture by devices by adjusting illumination in one or more sub-portions of an area during image capture. In order to adjust illumination, configuration data may be obtained relating to image data generated by an image capture device. The image capture device may be associated with a controllable illumination device configured to provide independently controllable illumination for at least two sub portions of an area. The controllable illumination device may cause the generation of illumination based on independent illumination attributes associated with the at least two sub-portions. The illumination device can include independently controllable illumination units can include a light emitting diode (LED) array in which individual LEDs in the LED array are independently controllable.

  • Publication number: 20240207253
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds which have been identified, as inhibitors of the expression of CDR1 (Cdr1p) and/or CDR2 (Cdr2p), both ABC-type plasma, membrane transporters, which are major contributor to antifungal therapy resistance. These compounds may be used in the treatment of fungal infections, especially Candida infections, either alone or in combination with azole antifungal agents such as fluconazole, itraconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole and the like. Often the inhibitor compounds described herein are useful for reversing the antifungal therapy resistance exhibited by the overexpression of CDR1 and/or CDR2 in strains of fungi, especially including Candida spp. Combination therapy and compositions for treating fungal infections, especially including azole resistant fungal infections represent important embodiments of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 11835704
    Abstract: An optical Boresight alignment device that leverages creation of an opto-mechanical reference to the rifle barrel so that the riflescope can be used to directly measure the axis of the rifle barrel and thereby offer the necessary feedback to precisely boresight the riflescope. An illumination multiplexer module (IMM) allows the riflescope to function as an illuminated precision autocollimator with which to optically measure the barrel angle. The present invention leverages the two most accurate rifle components: the barrel and the riflescope themselves to directly measure the axes of each device, the optical (riflescope) and the mechanical (barrel). This is an improvement over existing methods by successfully using the external surface of the rifle barrel as a kinematic mechanical reference.

  • Patent number: 11627923
    Abstract: A cannula and method include a shaft portion having a proximal end, a distal end, a longitudinal axis and a lumen extending from the proximal end to the oppositely disposed distal end along the longitudinal axis. A hub is attached to the proximal end of the shaft portion and includes a transverse portion, which extends transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft portion. An opaque marker is disposed on the transverse portion at a position corresponding to an expanded size of an expandable element such that the opaque marker indicates the expanded size in an imaging system image.

  • Patent number: 10853036
    Abstract: A method of generating a hardware design to calculate a modulo value for any input value in a target input range with respect to a constant value d using one or more range reduction stages. The hardware design is generated through an iterative process that selects the optimum component for mapping successively increasing input ranges to the target output range until a component is selected that maps the target input range to the target output range. Each iteration includes generating hardware design components for mapping the input range to the target output range using each of a plurality of modulo preserving range reduction methods, synthesizing the generated hardware design components, and selecting one of the generated hardware design components based on the results of the synthesis.
