  • Patent number: 11424930
    Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing account information are provided. For example, an indication to launch an application that may provide account information may be received. A determination may be made regarding whether the indication is an initial interaction with the application. If the indication is an initial interaction, one or more credentials may be received via an interface that may be displayed via the application. If the indication is not the initial interaction, a token may be accessed. A request that may include the credentials or token may then be generated and transmitted such that credentials or token may be used to authenticate a device that includes the application and a user thereof, a new token may be generated, and a response with the new token and/or account information may be transmitted. The account information may then be displayed by an interface of the application.

  • Publication number: 20220186257
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions and methods for multiplexed gene silencing in a cell or subject. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides an isolated nucleic acid or an rAAV encoding a transgene comprising a RNA-guided nuclease (RGN) operably linked to a first promoter, and a second promoter operably linked to a multi guide-RNA (multi-gRNA) expression cassette encoding one or more gRNAs targeting a gene associated with hypercholesterolemia or dyslipidemia. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides methods of treating a subject having hypercholesterolemia or dyslipidemia by administering the compositions.

  • Publication number: 20220147366
    Abstract: In a system with a master processor and slave processors, sync points are used in boot instructions. While executing the boot instructions, the slave processor determines whether the sync point is enabled. In response to determining the sync point is enabled, the slave processor pauses execution of the boot instructions, waits for commands from the master processor, receives commands from the master processor, executes the received commands until a release command is received, and then continues to execute boot instructions. In response to determining the sync point is not enabled, the slave processor continues to execute boot instructions.

  • Patent number: 11217355
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for generating medical isotopes, the method comprising contacting a primary radiation beam with a converter for a time sufficient to produce a secondary beam of gamma particles, and contacting the beam of gamma particles to a target, where the cross section dimension of the beam of gamma particles is similar to the cross section dimension of the target. Both the converter and target are small in diameter and very closely spaced. Also provided is a system for producing medical isotopes, the device comprising a housing having a first upstream end and a second downstream end, a radiotransparent channel (collimator) with a first upstream end and a downstream end, wherein the upstream end is adapted to receive a radiation beam, a target positioned downstream of the downstream end of the channel and coaxially aligned with the channel, wherein the target has a cross section that is similar to the cross section of the channel.

  • Patent number: 10705096
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of prognosing the survival of a diseased subject, particularly a subject with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as selecting an end-stage renal disease subject for a kidney transplant. The methods involve detecting an elevated amount of macrophage inhibitory cytoking-1 (MID-1) in a test body sample from the diseased subject. A method of preventing or reducing the risk of death in a CKD subject which involves removing or inactivating MIC-1 present in the blood, plasma or serum of the subject, is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10691520
    Abstract: A packet is identified at a port of a serial data link, and it is determined that the packet is associated with an error. Entry into an error recovery mode is initiated based on the determination that the packet is associated with the error. Entry into the error recovery mode can cause the serial data link to be forced down. In one aspect, forcing the data link down causes all subsequent inbound packets to be dropped and all pending outbound requests and completions to be aborted during the error recovery mode.

  • Patent number: 10685147
    Abstract: Areas of non-conformances in a manufactured object are electronically mapped within a coordinate system of the object. Boundary lines of the areas containing the non-conformances are displayed on a 3-D image of the product. Visualization of the boundary lines of areas containing multiple non-conformances allows tracking of non-conformances, identification of trends in non-conformances and correction of production processes in order to reduce non-conformances.
