Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for apparel assembly using three-dimensional printing directly onto fabric apparel materials. Disclosed is a method and system for direct three-dimensional printing and assembly of an article of apparel, including designing a three-dimensional pattern for printing, positioning at least a portion of the article on a tray in a three-dimensional printing system, the portion being positioned substantially flat on the tray, printing a three-dimensional material directly onto the article using the designed pattern, curing the printed material, and removing the article from the three-dimensional printing system.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of identifying genomic region(s) predictive of an outcome of treatment with a cell therapy and/or of a phenotype of function of the cells. In some embodiments, the methods include epigenetic and/or epigenomic analyses of the cells in connection with methods for preparing engineered cells for cell therapy and/or predicting response to a cell therapy, e.g., engineered cells for cell therapy. In some embodiments, the methods include steps to assess, characterize and analyze changes or modifications in an epigenetic property of gene region or regions, such as chromatin accessibility, nucleosome occupancy, histone modification, spatial chromosomal conformation, transcription factor occupancy and/or DNA methylation. In some embodiments, the epigenetic and/or epigenomic analysis includes determining the epigenetic properties of a cell, e.g., an engineered cell for cell therapy.

Abstract: A computer system for generating a cause effect matrix as a user interface to develop a control program based on the cause effect matrix and to compile and download the resulting program into a programmable controller. A cause effect matrix diagram is used to develop a function block diagram program which is a standard IEC 1131-3 language. The function block diagram is translated into structured text which is compiled into intermediate code. The intermediate code is translated into the native code for the micro-processor of the target control system, including but not necessarily limited to the Motorola processor MPC-860. The automation of a cause effect matrix diagram to generate a function block diagram permits additional capability by allowing functions for causes, intersections, and effects. Because special functions may be included, the results of a cause generate timing functions or other computations before initiating the effect.

Abstract: The MIN, but not the ESN, associated with a mobile station is entered into a permanent subscriber record associated with a private wireless communications system. During at least the initial registration attempt for the mobile station in the private system, the mobile station sends its MIN and ESN to the private system. The private system then asks a public wireless communications system for verification of the subscription status of the mobile station. If the status is favorable, e.g., the mobile station has a valid subscription to the public system, the private system updates its permanent subscriber record to include the ESN and continues with the registration process. If the verification response indicates an unfavorable subscription status, e.g., the ESN/MIN combination is invalid, the private system preferably refuses to allow the mobile station to register.

Abstract: A hand held and hand operated device for compacting and crushing an aluminum beverage can is disclosed. The device comprises an elongate handle that is grasped by the user's hand. An aluminum can is held in a gripper element at one end of the handle. The free end of the aluminum can extending from the gripper element is then pounded against a solid object in a manner similar to pounding one's clenched fist against a table top thereby crushing and compacting the aluminum can.
