Roche Aims to Patent a Tumor Classification Method

U.S. patent application, US20220130549, discloses a method of classifying and/or identifying a cancer subtype based on tumor mutational burden. The method involves determining the level of somatic mutations (e.g. synonymous mutations and/or non-synonymous mutations) in tumor tissue samples obtained from a patient for predicting tumor mutational burden and then classifying the cancer subtypes which can be used as a biomarker (e.g. a predictive biomarker) in the treatment of a patient suffering from cancer.

Boston Scientific Files a Patent for a Magnetically Driven Atherectomy System

U.S. patent application, US20220125475, relates to a device for forming a passageway through an occlusion of a body lumen. The system includes an assembly having a drive motor, a first magnetic coupling segment, and a disposable single-use assembly that includes a second magnetic coupling segment, a spline shaft, a drive gear assembly and is adapted to rotatably engage an atherectomy burr. The figure below illustrates a schematic diagram of an atherectomy system.

Paypal Seeks to Patent a Method for Predicting Online Electronic Attacks

U.S. patent application, US20220131892, discloses a method for predicting online electronic attacks. The method includes receiving an indication that a first online platform has undergone/is undergoing a first electronic attack, in response to receiving the indication, determining one or more vulnerability characteristics of the first online platform, analyzing a plurality of other online platforms to identify a potential target second online platform that shares at least one of the vulnerability characteristics with the first online platform and performing actions to mitigate the potential damage of the second electronic attack.

Apple Eyes a Patent for an Electronic Device that Recovers from Eye-Tracking Loss

U.S. patent application, US20220130350, discloses an electronic device that recovers from eye-tracking loss. The device includes a display and an eye tracker and is configured to foveate one or more areas of the display according to the eye-tracking data. If the eye-tracking data input is lost, the device recovers from the eye-tracking loss by changing one or more aspects of the foveated areas (e.g., size, resolution, etc.) until a threshold is satisfied. When the time elapses since the loss of eye-tracking, the foveated areas move toward the center of the display. The figure below shows the recovery of the device from the eye-tracking loss.

Microsoft Files a Patent for Light Leak Correction for Mixed Reality Devices

U.S. patent application, US20220130297, describes a system obtaining a color value for a pixel and obtaining a light leak value associated with the pixel. The system generates an updated color value for the pixel by applying a light leak compensation operation to the color value for the pixel. The operation uses the light leak value for modifying the color value to compensate when displaying the pixel on the display device. The figure below depicts the pixel configured to display a color value to an image detector.

Intel Seeks a Patent for a Partial Echo Cancellation Duplexing System

U.S. patent application, US20220131569, describes a method for transmitting data upstream and downstream between a first device and a second device by determining an upstream crosstalk effect for an upstream channel and a downstream crosstalk effect for a downstream channel. A partial echo cancellation duplexing system circuitry adjusts the data rate of an upstream transmission or downstream transmission based on an upstream crosstalk effect and a downstream crosstalk effect. The figure below illustrates a multi-user twisted pair network with two independent non-co-located users.
