  • Patent number: 12371501
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for extended release of certain types of antibodies in vivo. It was discovered that such antibodies are able to initiate reversible gelation of hyaluronic acid (HA) by creating a depot that dissociates over time to release the antibody without any impact on its physical and chemical properties as well as its biological activity. As certain tissues and organs, such as eyes, joints and skins, contain HA, local injection of the antibodies to these tissues or organs will result in embedding of the antibody in gel formed from the HA, which becomes a repository of slow-released antibodies. In addition, slow-released formulations can be prepared with antibodies mixed with HA, optionally with other polymers.

  • Patent number: 12362566
    Abstract: A system includes a switch configured to couple a generator to a utility grid, a first converter having a first port coupled to the generator, a second converter having a first port coupled to a second port of the first converter and a second port coupled to the utility grid, and a controller configured to control the switch and the first and second converters. The controller may be configured to cause the first and second converters to provide power to the utility grid from the generator after the generator starts and before a state of the generator meets a predetermined criterion.

  • Patent number: 12350104
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for determining if a feature of interest is present in a volume or plane scanned by an imaging system. In examples, one or more imaging planes are analyzed for anatomical landmarks to determine whether a feature of interest is present. If the feature of interest is present, scan parameters may be determined to scan an adjusted volume that includes the feature of interest. In some applications, the adjusted volume may allow the imaging system to increase a volume rate.

  • Publication number: 20250178830
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for monitoring the status of a floating roof. The floating-roof tank assembly has: an impermeable roof section, and a floating-roof seal configured to span between the impermeable roof section and components of a container. One or more deformable floats are attached to the roof section to provide buoyancy so that the roof floats on top of the liquid contained in the container. To monitor the status of the floating roof tank, it is provided with a fiber optic sensor array comprising one or more fiber optic sensors. A light source configured to transmit light to the fiber optic sensors and a receiver configured to detect light from each fiber optic cable after it has interacted with the fiber optic cable. Based on the received light, a controller configured to process the light received by the receiver to determine the status of the floating roof tank.

  • Publication number: 20250160344
    Abstract: A trimming device for trimming a carcass part having a skin and/or fat side, including a blade having a cutting edge facing a front face of the carcass part, and a blade holder for holding the blade. The blade holder has a tiltable blade holder segment and a non-tiltable blade holder segment rotatably coupled to the non-tiltable blade holder segment around an axis of rotation parallel to a conveying direction along which the carcass part is transported to the trimming device, and an actuator configured to tilt the tiltable blade holder segment relative to the non-tiltable blade holder segment based on information concerning a profile of the skin and/or fat side. A geometry of the cutting edge changes when the tiltable blade holder segment is tilted relative to the non-tiltable blade holder segment by means of the actuator to trim the skin and/or fat side into a predetermined shape.

  • Publication number: 20250117605
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for content assistance processes via foundation model integrations in software applications. In an implementation, a computing device receives natural language input from a user relating to content of a document in a user interface of an application. The computing device generates a first prompt for a foundation model to generate at least a completion to the natural language input. The computing device receives a reply to the first prompt from the foundation model which includes a completion to the natural language input. The computing device causes display of the completion in association with the natural language input in the user interface and receives user input comprising an indication to combine the input and the completion, resulting in a revised natural language input. The computing device submits a second prompt including the revised natural language input to the foundation model.
