Publication number: 20260027375Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for a patient's brain based on determining an optimal individualized current amplitude for a patient by (1) dividing an optimal E-field strength (optimal Ebrain) by a baseline E-field strength (baseline Ebrain) of the patient's brain, or (2) performing an initial treatment to determine a patient's amplitude titrated seizure threshold (STa), followed by use of a multiplier value multiplied by the STa for an individualized amplitude for subsequent treatments. Methods of ECT using optimal individualized current amplitude provide an antidepressant effect and reduce adverse cognitive effects on the patient's brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: January 29, 2026Inventors: Christopher Abbott, Zhi-De Deng, Joel Upston, Thomas Jones, Abhisheck Datta

Patent number: 12260434Abstract: Apparatus and method for a scalable pricing engine. A scalable pricing engine is operable in a low-scale mode and a high-scale or scalable mode to process pricing data in response to pricing requests. The pricing engine operates in a first runtime environment in the low-scale mode in which it can service pricing requests up to a threshold number and in which the pricing data can be updated and tested. The pricing engine also operates in a second runtime environment which is a scalable runtime supporting pricing requests above the specified threshold. The scalable runtime and pricing engine rely on a scalable read-only data service which distributes a read-only copy of at least a portion of the pricing data from the primary database, a high-scale cache to reduce access latency, data processing and network resource allocations, and data reduction techniques when processing requests and responses.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Parth Vijay Vaishnav, Thomas Jones, Mitchell Christensen, Daniel May, Harpreet Singh, Jalaleldeen Aref
