A method to measure properties of a forest
Patent published on the 2026-10-18 in FI under Ref FI20255344 by OY ARBONAUT LTD [FI] (LeppÄnen Vesa [fi], Jeskanen Jeremias [fi], Sener Ecre [fi])
Abstract: A method of determining properties of forest is disclosed. Accurate properties of forest are important for management of forest, forest operations and forest protection. Producing cross-section images of forest allows image recognition techniques to be used in identification of trees (40, 50). Machine learning methods may be used as one form of image recognition techniques. Tree attributes, like size, height or species may be identified for the identified trees. Having overlapping area in the cr[...]
Our summary: A method for measuring forest properties is disclosed. Cross-section images facilitate tree identification using image recognition techniques. Machine learning aids in recognizing tree attributes and managing duplicate identifications.

Method and system for hydroprocessing a renewable feedstock within a reactor
Patent published on the 2026-10-15 in WO under Ref WO2026217899 by CHEVRON U S A INC [US] (Kou Bo [us], Biswas Goutam [us], Yang Shuwu [us], Song Steven Xuqi [us], Maesen Theodorus Ludovicus Michael [us])
Abstract: A method and system for hydroprocessing a renewable feedstock in a reactor is provided. The system comprises a reactor with a catalyst bed and at least one feed line. The at least one feed line is structured for injecting the renewable feedstock directly into the catalyst bed of the reactor, to inhibit degradation of the wall of the reactor by the feedstock. The catalyst bed comprises a catalyst, and the injection of the feedstock directly into the catalyst bed causes the feedstock to contact th[...]
Our summary: The system enables hydroprocessing of renewable feedstock in a reactor. It features a catalyst bed and feed line for direct injection into the catalyst. This design minimizes wall degradation and enhances feedstock-catalyst contact.

A method of controlling an actuator assembly
Patent published on the 2026-10-15 in WO under Ref WO2026214984 by CAMBRIDGE MECHATRONICS LTD [GB] (Brown Andrew Benjamin Simpson [gb], Heijne Nicholas [gb])
Abstract: A method of controlling an actuator assembly comprising a first part, a second part, and an actuator system comprising at least one shape memory alloy, SMA, element and configured to produce at least a first type of movement of the second part relative to the first part. The first type of movement can be generated by the actuator system in at least first and second ways, and generation of the first type of movement in at least one of the first and second ways is limited by at least one actuator [...]
Our summary: The method controls an actuator assembly with a shape memory alloy element for movement. It generates movement of a second part relative to a first part in multiple ways. Movement generation is managed by distributing it between these ways while considering actuator assembly constraints.

System for screw location optimization in orthopedic implants
Patent published on the 2026-10-15 in US under Ref US20260315234 by ZIMMER INC [US] (Elliott Bradley [us], Awadalla Maged [us], Monceaux Robbin Claire Lejeune [us], Shekouhi Niloufar [us])
Abstract: [0000] A method for manufacturing an implant can include receiving, at a computing device, patient specific data related to a bone; generating an implant geometry of an implant based on the patient specific data; generating an initial screw trajectory and location for each of a plurality of peripheral screws for the implant and a central screw for the implant; determining, at the computing device, based on the initial screw trajectories and locations, an initial centroid of the plurality of peri[...]
Our summary: A method for optimizing screw locations in orthopedic implants uses patient-specific data to generate implant geometry. The process includes determining initial screw trajectories and locations, followed by calculating an optimal configuration through finite element analysis and machine learning. The goal is to achieve a reduced stiffness ratio for improved implant performance.

a review-based methodological study
Published on 2026-10-14 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractAs a methodological study grounded in a systematic literature review, this study addresses the decision-making challenges in the sustainable retrofitting of aging residential areas by proposing an integrated assessment model based on environmental, economic, and social dimensions. A literature review reveals that existing research predominantly focuses on single dimensions, lacking systematic integration of life-cycle benefits and social impacts. To address this gap, this study construct[...]
Our summary: This study proposes an integrated assessment model for sustainable retrofitting of aging residential areas. It combines life-cycle assessment, cost analysis, and social considerations into a multicriteria decision-making framework. The model facilitates structured trade-off analysis and enhances the quantitative assessment of social dimensions in retrofitting strategies.

Effects of ROI definition, ventricular morphology, and periventricular deformation
Published on 2026-10-14 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractThe diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) index is increasingly used as a non-invasive MRI biomarker proposed to reflect glymphatic and perivascular function, yet the anatomical validity and measurement stability of the metric remain incompletely characterised. Using diffusion MRI data from 850 healthy young adults and 150 healthy ageing participants from the Human Connectome Project, I systematically evaluated the influence of region-of-interest (ROI) p[...]
Our summary: The study evaluates the impact of ROI placement and ventricular anatomy on the DTI-ALPS index. It finds substantial hemispheric variability and identifies improved ROI configurations that enhance measurement stability. Results indicate that ALPS measurements are influenced by anatomical factors, suggesting a need for standardisation in neuroimaging methodologies.
