  • Patent number: 12275007
    Abstract: The present application is generally directed to systems, methods, and devices for diagnostics for sensing and/or identifying pathogens, genomic materials, proteins, and/or other small molecules or biomarkers. In some implementations, a small footprint low cost device provides rapid and robust sensing and identification. Such a device may utilize microfluidics, biochemistry, and electronics to detect one or more targets at once in the field and closer to or at the point of care. In some implementations, the systems and methods herein implement a reader device, an assay cartridge, and a mobile or external device configured to receive abiological sample, test the biological sample, and provide test results to a patient or user associated with the patient. The test results may be packaged with additional information, including symptoms suffered by the patient, a diagnosis, and follow-up instructions.

  • Patent number: 12276961
    Abstract: A technique provides for wireless control of a machine tool, e.g. a portable machine tool used on-site. According to an embodiment, a motor is connected with a tool post assembly via a gearbox. The motor is coupled with a machine controller, and the tool post assembly is mounted proximate an object to be machined. For example, the object may be machined via a cutting tool mounted to a cutter post of the tool post assembly. The machine controller operates to control movement of the cutter post along a desired axis during the cutting operation. The machine controller and thus the cutting operation, however, are controlled wirelessly according to control instructions provided via a control device, e.g. a handheld control device, which is placed in wireless communication with the machine controller.

  • Publication number: 20250114615
    Abstract: An intracardiac ventricular pacemaker is configured to detect a ventricular diastolic event from a motion signal received by a pacemaker control circuit from a motion sensor. The control circuit starts an atrial refractory period having an expiration time set based on a time of the detection of the ventricular diastolic event. The control circuit detects an atrial systolic event from the motion signal after expiration of the atrial refractory period and controls a pulse generator of the pacemaker to deliver a pacing pulse to a ventricle of a patient's heart at a first atrioventricular pacing time interval after the atrial systolic event detection.

  • Publication number: 20250114616
    Abstract: An intracardiac ventricular pacemaker having a motion sensor is configured to produce a motion signal including an atrial systolic event and a ventricular diastolic event indicating a passive ventricular filling phase, set a detection threshold to a first amplitude during an expected time interval of the ventricular diastolic event and to a second amplitude lower than the first amplitude after an expected time interval of the ventricular diastolic event. The pacemaker is configured to detect the atrial systolic event in response to the motion signal crossing the detection threshold and set an atrioventricular pacing interval in response to detecting the atrial systolic event.

  • Publication number: 20250110893
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently performing address translation requests. An integrated circuit includes a system memory that stores address mappings, and the circuitry of one or more clients processes one or more applications and generate address translation requests. A translation lookaside buffer (TLB) stores, in multiple entries, address mappings retrieved from the system memory. Circuitry of a client processes one or more applications and generates address translation requests. The entries of the TLB stores address mappings corresponding to different address mapping types and different virtual functions to avoid searches of multiple other lower-level TLBs that are significantly larger and have larger access. In addition, the TLB is implemented with a relatively small number of entries and uses fully associative data storage arrangement to further reduce access latencies.
