Patent CA-3118806-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WATT WILLIAM DICKSON
IPC: B63C9/15
Filed: 2019-11-05
Abstract: A kit is for towing through water by a swimmer to transport items, which comprises: an inflatable flotation device and a dry bag (32). The flotation device comprises, when inflated, a lead portion (10a), two spaced side portions (10b, 10c) each extending rearwardly from the lead portion, and attachment means. The dry bag (32), which may be separate to the flotation device, has an openable, water-tight closure. The side portions, when the device is inflated, and the dry bag are respectively shaped to cooperate so that the side portions provide support for the dry bag. The flotation device including the attachment means is arranged to attach the dry bag to the flotation device such that the closure (34) is located above a lead portion of the flotation device. The kit is attachable to a tow leash (32) such that a swimmer can tow the flotation device with the dry bag attached in water and such that the lead portion leads through the water.

IPC: H04N19/126
Filed: 2019-11-26
Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and devices of intra predicting a block of a picture. The method comprises for a sample of the block: obtaining a predicted sample value from one or more reference sample values by intra-prediction using a DC intra-prediction mode; multiplying the predicted sample value by a sample weighting factor, resulting in a weighted predicted sample value; adding an additional value to the weighted predicted sample value, resulting in a non-normalized predicted sample value; and normalizing the non-normalized predicted sample value by an arithmetic right shift of an integer representation of the non-normalized predicted sample value, wherein the sample weighting factor is ((2<<p)-wL-wT), wherein p is a parameter of the sample weighting factor, wL is a horizontal weighting factor, and wT is a vertical weighting factor.

Title: System and method for identification and analysis of cranial contours
Inventor: LEE JAMES
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 2021-06-16
Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for identification and analysis of cranial contours. In an embodiment, the system and method is used to diagnose plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome, associated primarily with in infants) from photographs of the head. The method and apparatus may involve the use of a processor circuit, for example an application server, for automatically identifying the contour of the head in a plurality of images, then computing geometrical measurements in order quantify plagiocephaly. Photographs are acquired from an overhead view of a head, where the images may be rotated manually or automatically to a standard orientation.  For each image, an optimal head contour is identified as minimizing a mathematical cost function combining local image filter responses designed for edge detection and a global model of head contour shape combining smoothness and convexity constrains. Length measurements are then computed from the identified contour, e.g. head diameter, diagonal diameter, and used to quantify the degree of head asymmetry and diagnose plagiocephaly.

Title: Endplay or preload settable lock nut
Inventor: FISH MICHAEL
IPC: F16C41/00
Filed: 2021-07-08
Abstract: A lock nut is useable for setting a bearing to preload or endplay. A plurality of preload markings are circumferentially spaced apart on the nut. The distance between the preload marking corresponding to a preselected amount of preload applied or reduced on said bearing when the nut is (i) tightened to apply a preload force to said bearing or (ii) loosened to reduce a preload force on said bearing, respectively. A plurality of endplay markings are also circumferentially spaced apart on the nut. The distance between the endplay markings, corresponding to a preselected amount of endplay increased or reduced in said bearing when the nut is (i) tightened to reduce endplay on the bearing or (ii) loosened to increase endplay in said bearing. The use of endplay and preload markings enables setting of a bearing on an axle or spindle to either an endplay setting or a preload setting by adjusting the rotation of the lock nut according to the endplay markings or the preload markings, respectively.

IPC: C12Q1/6813
Filed: 2020-06-26
Abstract: Systems and methods for associating single cell imaging data with RNA transcriptomics. Single cells are isolated into microwells with a microbead having oligonucleotides conjugated on its surface. Each oligonucleotide includes a cell identifying optical barcode that is unique to that bead and binding sequence for RNA capture after cell lysis. The system is configured for loading single cells into the microarray and for flowing cell lysis buffers and other reagents into the microarray for performing RNA library sample preparation. The system is also configured for lowing optical hybridization probes that are complementary to the cell identifying optical barcodes and optically labeled onto the microwell array and for obtaining images of the microwells in response to the probes. The system and unique cell identifying optical barcodes and complementary optical hybridization probes facilitate a link between phenotypic imaging of cells resident on the microwell array with single cell whole transcriptome sequencing.

Title: Caller verification via carrier metadata
Inventor: CORNWELL JOHN
IPC: H04M1/56
Filed: 2020-08-17
Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for passive caller verification and/or passive fraud risk assessments for calls to customer call centers. Systems and methods may be used in real time as a call is coming into a call center. An analytics server of an analytics service looks at the purported Caller ID of the call, as well as the unaltered carrier metadata, which the analytics server then uses to generate or retrieve one or more probability scores using one or more lookup tables and/or a machine-learning model. A probability score indicates the likelihood that information derived using the Caller ID information has occurred or should occur given the carrier metadata received with the inbound call. The one or more probability scores be used to generate a risk score for the current call that indicates the probability of the call being valid (e.g., originated from a verified caller or calling device, non-fraudulent).
