  • Patent number: 11984208
    Abstract: Methods comprising an integrated, multiscale artificial intelligence-based system that reconstructs drug-specific pharmacogenomic networks and their constituent functional sub-networks are described. The system uses features of the functional topology of the three-dimensional architecture of drug-modulated spatial contacts in chromatin space. Discovery of a drug pharmacogenomic network is made through the selection of candidate SNPs by imputation, determination of the predicted causality of the SNPs using machine learning and deep learning, use of the causal SNPs to probe the spatial genome as determined by chromosome conformation capture analysis, combining targeted genes controlled by the same cell and tissue-specific enhancers, and reconstruction of the pharmacogenomic network using diverse data sources and metrics based on the results of genome-wide association studies.

  • Patent number: 11930327
    Abstract: A hearing aid assembly includes a receiver speaker enclosed within a receiver housing. The receiver housing defines a circuitous receiver acoustic channel, wherein the receiver channel defines an open side along at least a portion of the receiver channel. The receiver channel also defines a pass-through passage extending from a first side of the receiver housing to a second side of the receiver housing, wherein the pass-through passage is partially defined by the wall defining a receiver opening. The hearing aid assembly also includes an earbud configured to fit over at least a portion of the receiver housing and partially cover the open side of the receiver channel.

  • Publication number: 20220124107
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing an extensible webhook service of a system of record includes receiving API-based webhook criteria for configuring an extensible webhook control data structure within a system of record; encoding the extensible webhook control data structure based on the API-based webhook criteria, wherein the encoding includes: (A) setting a webhook launching condition defining a custom API call that, when received, causes (i) an automatic creation of a payload of data from data sources within a system of record and (ii) an execution of a webhook operation; and (B) setting the webhook operation that identifies a web-based destination for the payload of data and that, when executed, causes an automatic transmission of the payload of data from the system of record to the web-based destination; wherein the extensible webhook control data structure, once encoded, automatically controls an interchange of data between the system of record and distinct external entities.

  • Patent number: 10119265
    Abstract: A building frame connector for connecting beams to columns to create a building frame. The building frame connector includes a pin member and plurality of fins mounted on said pin member for rotation relative to said pin. The pin may be in alignment with the column, and the fins allow connection of the beams to the columns. The fins may be disposed to rotate relative to said pin member about a longitudinal axis of the pin. In one embodiment the pin member may have an outer diameter and the fins have a collar with an inner diameter is greater than said outer diameter of said pin allowing for the collars to rotate about the pin member. The present building frame connector may also include at least one coupling member coupled to the pin member, wherein the coupling member facilitates the connection of the building frame connector to a building column.
