Patent EP-4149353-A1 (EP)
Title: Apparatus and method for improved blood pressure measurement
Inventor: SCHLACK ANDREAS WOLFGANG
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2021-05-06
Abstract: An apparatus (10) is for use with an inflatable cuff (14) for performing oscillometric blood pressure measurements, and the apparatus configured for detecting slippage of a cuff fastening (15). The apparatus includes a control unit (12) in combination with an acoustic sensor (20). The acoustic sensor is arranged so as to be sensitive in use to sounds emanating from the cuff during inflation of the cuff for performing a blood pressure measurement. A control unit acquires from the cuff a pressure signal indicative of pressure in the cuff, the pressure signal for oscillometrically deriving a blood pressure measurement. The control unit is further configured to receive a sensor input from the acoustic sensor and process it to detect sound signatures in the signal corresponding to a slippage of a fastening arrangement of the cuff, to thereby detect occurrence of cuff fastening slippage events. The control unit is then configured to trigger a response action responsive to detecting any slippage event, which could be processing the pressure signal to detect and compensate any artifacts in the signal caused by the slippage event, or could be for labelling the acquired measurement to alert a user that it could be compromised.

Abstract: A floor panel assembly for rail vehicles, such as trains or tramways, and a method of manufacturing such a floor panel assembly, which can be used for floating floors, are disclosed. The floor panel assembly comprises a first floor panel and a second floor panel. The first floor panel has a male connection portion, and the female floor panel has a female connection portion. The male connection portion and the female connection portion are configured to interfit in a form-fitting manner to provide a frictional connection between the individual floor panels and a flat surface of the floor panel assembly. The geometry of the connection portions and the sprue tools is referenced only to the top of the floor panels, thus providing a high surface flatness with small steps between the individual floor panels.

Title: Systems and methods for coordinating manufacturing of cells for patient-specific immunotherapy
Inventor: BROOKS ANNE
IPC: C12N5/0783
Filed: 2021-04-22
Abstract: A method for coordinating the manufacturing of an expanded cell therapy product for a patient may include receiving a cell order request to expand the cell therapy product for the patient; generating a patient-specific identifier or cell order identifier associated with the cell order request; and initiating a process to expand the cell therapy product from at least some of a solid tumor obtained from the patient. If acceptance parameters for the expansion cell therapy product do not meet certain acceptance criteria at a second time point subsequent to a first time point in the expansion process, it is determined whether re-performing the expansion of the cell therapy product using the cell expansion technique is possible from the first time point based on the acceptance parameters at the second time point. If such re-performing the expansion is possible, patient treatment events that use the expanded cell therapy product are rescheduled.

Title: Improved method and test system for in-vitro determination of drug antibodies in blood
Inventor: ARMBRUSTER FRANZ PAUL
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2021-06-08
Abstract: Method of determining therapeutic drug antibodies in a sample of bodily fluid of a subject receiving a medication containing a therapeutic drug antibodies against tumor necrosis factor alpha. The method is used in an lateral flow immunochromatographic test wherein the immunochromatographic bridging and binding in the test line comprises the use of an anti-idiotypic scFv fragment or Fab fragment fused to a carrier protein which is not involved in nor plays a role in the inherent or developed immune system. The fusion protein may contain human serum albumin, chicken ovalbumin, human haptoglobin or human alpha-1- antitrypsin. The immunological reaction is therefore not impaired, augmented or interfered by members of the complement system or by autoantibodies such as the rheumatoid factor. This is of particular importance and favorable when determining the concentration of tumor necrosis alpha blockers such as adalimumab or infliximab in serum or blood of patients.

Title: High-performance microcoded text parser
Inventor: LO DANIEL
IPC: G06F40/183
Filed: 2021-06-14
Abstract: The performance of a text parser implemented with a state machine is improved by reducing a critical dependence path. In one aspect, all possible current states for a given text input are read from a state table circuit, and the correct next state and output are then selected therefrom by an output multiplexer based on the current state, removing dependence on the current state from the table read, and allowing the read(s) to be pipelined. Further, multiple input units are configured to operate on multiple text characters in parallel, with each input unit propagating outputs for its state table circuit to the next downstream input unit. Each downstream input unit is configured to use the propagated states to provide the proper outputs to appropriates multiplexer inputs. The number of possible output states may be dynamically reduced, thereby reducing the size of the output multiplexer needed to select the next state.
