  • Publication number: 20230245784
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for multi-schema analysis of patient specific anatomical features from medical images. The system may receive medical images of a patient and metadata associated with the medical images indicative of a selected pathology, and automatically classify the medical images using a segmentation algorithm. The system may use an anatomical feature identification algorithm to identify one or more patient specific anatomical features within the medical images by exploring an anatomical knowledge dataset. A 3D surface mesh model may be generated representing the one or more classified patient specific anatomical features, such that information may be extracted from the 3D surface mesh model based on the selected pathology. Physiological information associated with the selected pathology for the 3D surface mesh model may be generated based on the extracted information.

  • Publication number: 20230226056
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of organic and highly water-soluble compatible solutes or a solute mixture, preferably in the form of an inhalable, oropharyngeally, nasally and intravenously administrable composition, in the prevention or treatment of diseases caused by ss(+)RNA viruses of the Coronavriridae family, preferably of those diseases caused by SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63 and/or HCoV-229E. Particularly suitable solutes in the meaning of the invention are ectoine and its derivatives, Glycoin, mannosylglycerate (Firoin) and mannosylglyceramide (Firoin-A), which, due to their strong water-binding capacity, reduce the binding of the viruses to the receptors of the host cell in the transitional epithelium, e.g. eye, in the internal epithelium, e.g. lung, and in the endothelium and thus reduce or prevent the multiplication of the viruses.

  • Patent number: 11606351
    Abstract: In an approach for authentication of a username, a processor maintains a mapping of usernames and realms. A processor receives a username and a time-based one-time password code (TOTP code) for the username based on an authentication application. A processor, upon receiving the TOTP code: determines a realm from the mapping based on the received username and the received TOTP; and requests an entry of a credential relating to the username in the realm. A processor, upon receiving of the requested credential, authenticates the username by determining that the received credential matches an expected credential for the realm.

  • Patent number: 11592110
    Abstract: A seal assembly includes an outer annular case disposed within and coupled with a rotatable outer member to be angularly displace about a central axis. An annular flexible seal is disposed within and coupled with the case to angularly displace about the central axis when the outer member rotates about the axis. The flexible seal has elastomeric sealing lip(s) engageable with an outer circumferential surface of the shaft or of a sleeve disposed about the shaft. An annular inner rigid seal is disposed within the outer case and has an inner end coupled with the shaft or the sleeve, the flexible seal being radially displaceable with respect to the inner rigid seal. An outer annular rigid seal is disposed about the inner seal and has an inner end sealing against the inner rigid seal. A biasing member biases the outer rigid seal against the inner rigid seal.

  • Patent number: 11593417
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor groups documents into a plurality of groups based on similarity, where: documents of each group have a same document structure; and the document structure is defined by coordinates of text blocks. A processor, for each group of the plurality of groups and for each document of the respective group: retrieves a value of each text block of the respective document in accordance with a document structure of the group; and assigns to each text block of the respective document an attribute that represents the retrieved value of the text block. A processor assigns a first document of the documents to an entity of a database that matches the first document based on the group of text block values and the assigned attributes of the document.
