Patent number: 12149866Abstract: A videoconferencing system receives audio and/or video signals (“AV”), information, and control signals from meeting participants. The videoconferencing system processes and routes the received AV and information, based on the received control signals, to provide AV and information to meeting participants. The videoconferencing system enables participants to know details about breakout room (e.g., what breakout rooms are available, how many people are attending each breakout room, who is attending each breakout room, the topics of the breakout rooms), hear audio, see video, and receive information corresponding breakout rooms that they have not joined, join a breakout room, leave a breakout room, create breakout rooms, invite other participants to join a breakout room, and make a breakout room private.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Quantcast CorporationInventors: Sean Zhu, Sahan Peiris

Patent number: 10954492Abstract: Described are improved processes for production and purification of nucleic acid-containing compositions, such as non-naturally occurring viruses, for example, recombinant polioviruses that can be employed as oncolytic agents. Some of the described improved processes relate to improved processes for producing viral DNA template. Also described are improved processes for chromatography purification of nucleic acid-containing compositions, in which the nucleic acid is quantified in chromatography fractions using a rapid detection method of the one or more nucleic acid sequences of the nucleic acid-containing composition, such as detection by real time RT-qPCR. In addition, improved processes for production and purification of oncolytic poliovirus, such as PVS-RIPO, are described. Compositions generated using these methods are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Trevor Lane Broadt, Samir Hussein Shaban, Yueqing Xie, Jianwei Sean Zhu, George Mitra

Patent number: 8992082Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus is provided having advantages of both C-shaped, G-shaped, and ring-shaped arm configurations. The device consists of a gantry that supports X-ray imaging machinery. The gantry is formed to allow two bi-planar X-rays to be taken simultaneously or without movement of the equipment and/or patient. The gantry is adjustable to change angles of the X-ray imaging machinery. Further, in some embodiments, the X-ray receptor portion of the X-ray imaging machinery may be positioned on retractable and extendable arms, allowing the apparatus to have a larger access opening when not in operation, but to still provide bi-planar X-ray ability when in operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Inventors: Jun Zhang, Liu Cao, Shiyu Wei, Sean Zhu
