Inventor: Etheresia Pretorius
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 2021-04-20
Abstract: A method of diagnosing post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (long COVID), comprises providing a sample from a subject, and using fluorescent or microscopy to detect the presence of persistent anomalous amyloid clotlets, where the presence of clotlets is indicative of post-acute COVID-19. A method of diagnosing COVID-19 disease in a subject comprises providing a sample obtained from the subject, treating the sample with a fibrinolytic enzyme, e.g. using a trypsin digest, and using fluorescence or microscopy to detect for the presence of persistent anomalous (amyloid) clotlets in the sample. The sample may be a blood or plasma sample. Preferably, the method comprises preparing a platelet poor plasma (PPP) from the sample, and treating the sample with a fluorescent dye or fluorescent probe.

Title: Method and system for volume control
Inventor: Ross B Peard
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 2022-07-04
Abstract: A first electronic device is engaged in a call with a second electronic device. While engaged in this call a joint media playback session is initiated wherein the first and second electronic devices independently stream media content for synchronous playback. A speaker is driven with a mix of a downlink signal of the call and an audio signal of the media content at an overall volume level. A user-adjustment is received at a single volume control for the first electronic device to reduce the overall volume level. In response to the user adjustment, a first gain adjustment is applied to the downlink signal and a second gain adjustment is applied to the audio signal. The speaker is then driven with a mix of the downlink signal and the audio signal at the reduced volume level. The first gain adjustment may be different to that of the second gain adjustment. Further aspects of the invention provide a second audio signal which is an audio signal of an object shown in an extended reality (XR) presentation shown on the first device.
