Roche Seeks to Patent a Method for Cancer Prognosis

U.S. patent application, US20210222251, discloses a method for predicting response to therapy in a patient afflicted with colorectal cancer. The method involves isolating nucleic acids from a cell-free blood sample, determining the sequence of biomarkers in that sample, and calculating a tumor variant diversity index for that patient to determine a good or a poor prognosis.

Merck Files a Patent for a Lyosphere Critical Reagent Kit

U.S. patent application, US20210223262, relates to lyophilized pellets with low concentrations of antibodies in the form of lyospheres. The lyospheres formulations are highly stable and are suitable for use in diagnostic and quality control kits particularly, wherein multiple antibodies are used and the lyospheres can be color-coded for ease of operation. The lyosphere comprises an antibody, a buffer, a surfactant, and different types of sugars.

Boston Scientific Files a Patent for an Electromagnetically Driven Blood Pump

U.S. patent application, US20210220637, discloses a magnetic drive system for a blood pump. The drive system includes an impeller, a driven magnet assembly coupled to a drive shaft and the impeller, and a driving coil assembly to drive the impeller to provide blood flow. The figure below illustrates the blood pump system.

Telemedicine can help improve healthcare access and quality across the globe. Here are five areas where telemedicine is making the biggest impact.

Visa Aims to Patent a Method for Linking Accounts Across Systems

U.S. patent application, US20210224816, discloses a method for linking accounts across systems. The method includes receiving an authorization request message including transaction data and a Primary Account Number (PAN), identifying a token corresponding to the PAN, transmitting a request message comprising the transaction data and the token to an employer system, receiving a transaction adjustment data, and adjusting a parameter of the payment transaction based on the transaction adjustment data.

Apple Eyes a Patent for Floorplan Generation Based on Room Scanning

U.S. patent application, US20210225090, discloses a method for generating a floor plan based on room scanning. The method includes an electronic device obtaining three-dimensional (3D) semantic data of a physical environment, generating two-dimensional (2D) semantic data for multiple horizontal layers of the physical environment based on the 3D semantic data, and providing a view of the physical environment in the floor plan by generating an edge map using the 2D semantic data. The figure below illustrates the process of 2D floor plan generation.
