  • Publication number: 20240118187
    Abstract: A system includes a device configured to facilitate an interaction between a first fluid flow and a second fluid flow within a flow path of the device; an optical sensor configured to obtain one or more images representing the flow path; an image analysis module configured to: process the images to identify at least one droplet generated in a flow path of the device by the interaction between the first fluid flow and the second fluid flow, and estimate a size of the at least one droplet; and a control system configured to: determine that the size of the at least one droplet satisfies a threshold condition, and responsive to determining that the size of the at least one droplet satisfies the threshold condition, generate a signal that causes an adjustment to a flow rate of at least one of the first fluid flow or the second fluid flow.

  • Patent number: 11871916
    Abstract: Vascular closure devices and methods for closing a blood vessel puncture site disposed at a distal end of a tissue tract are described. A combination of the body's own natural mechanism with chemical and/or biological agents is relied upon to accelerate the hemostatic process. Included are steps of introducing a closure device through the tissue tract and deploying an expansible member at a distal end of the device within the blood vessel to occlude the puncture site. A sealing member disposed proximal the expansible member is then displaced by retracting and tensioning a coil spring so as to expose a chemical and/or biological region or release region of the device. The retraction and tensioning of the coil spring is limited by a coupling member. Exposure of blood and tissue to the chemical and/or biological sealing member promotes the clotting processing to accelerate the occlusion process in the tract.

  • Patent number: 11645121
    Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and systems service a queue, comprising a plurality of jobs, by identifying nodes satisfying a hardware requirement for at least a subset of jobs in the queue. Each job indicates when it was submitted to the queue and one or more node resource requirements. A current availability score for each node class in a plurality of node classes is determined and nodes of a first node class in the plurality of node classes are reserved when a demand score for the class satisfies the current availability score for the first node class by a first threshold amount. Reserved nodes are permitted to draw jobs from the queue in accordance with satisfaction by such nodes of the node resource requirements of the jobs but are terminated, without completing the jobs, when the current availability score for their node class exceeds a second threshold amount.

  • Patent number: 11464771
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods of treating neoplastic diseases or cancers, such as glioblastoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, or other cancers in which the subject suffers from an advanced solid tumor, comprising a combination of, or administering a combination of, a bromodomain and extra-terminal protein (BET) inhibitor and at least one chemotherapeutic agent, which does not inhibit BET directly. The BET inhibitor/chemotherapeutic agent combination, or combination therapy, can yield synergistic effects, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the cancer treatment as compared with the administration of either the BET inhibitor or the chemotherapeutic agent alone.

  • Patent number: 11243815
    Abstract: Methods, nontransitory computer readable media, and systems are disclosed for servicing a job queue. Each job has node resource requirements. Composite job memory and processor requirements is determined from these requirements. Nodes that satisfy these requirements are identified by obtaining, for each class of a plurality of node classes: an availability score, a number of processers, and a memory capability. A request for nodes of a class is made when a demand score for the class satisfies the class availability score. An acknowledgement and updated availability score is received upon request acceptance. A declination is received upon request rejection. The submitting and receiving is performing multiple times, if needed, until each class has been considered for a request or sufficient acknowledgements are received to satisfy the composite requirements of the jobs. Each node in the cluster draws jobs from the queue subject to the collective requirements of the drawn jobs.
