  • Patent number: 11939159
    Abstract: A system for dispensing ingredients includes a cabinet and a conveyor disposed beneath the cabinet. The conveyor includes a staging region and a dispensing region in communication with an interior of the cabinet through a dispenser opening. One or more containers are removably disposed within the cabinet, and each of the one or more containers has an outlet disposed above the dispenser opening and includes an ejector operable to dispense one of the ingredients through the outlet. One or more bins are removably received within the conveyor. The bins are operable to be moved by the conveyor between a first position in the staging region and a second position in the dispensing region. Within the dispensing region, the conveyor is configured to move the bins between dispensing positions beneath respective ones of the containers.

  • Publication number: 20230390631
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine and a method are provided which generates outcome presentations from a Class 2 or a central determination game outcome. A database stores RNG seeds that correspond to various presentations. To generate the outcome presentations, the RNG seeds are retrieved from the database and random numbers are generated from the RNG seeds. These random numbers are then used to generate the outcome presentations for the Class 2 or central determination game outcome. The RNG seeds may be stored as a series of RNG seeds which may be individually accessed to eliminate certain outcomes or sort certain outcomes prior to presentation.

  • Publication number: 20230286903
    Abstract: The disclosure features novel lipids and compositions involving the same. Lipid nanoparticles (e.g., empty LNPs or loaded LNPs) include a novel lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, and PEG lipids. Lipid nanoparticles (e.g., empty LNPs or loaded LNPs) further including therapeutic and/or prophylactics such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactics to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.

  • Publication number: 20230027864
    Abstract: The disclosure features immune cell delivery lipid nanoparticle (LNP) compositions that allow for enhanced delivery of agents, e.g., nucleic acids, such as therapeutic and/or prophylactic RNAs, to immune cells, in particular T cells, as well as B cells, dendritic cells and monocytes. The LNPs comprise an effective amount of an immune cell delivery potentiating lipid such that delivery of an agent by an immune cell delivery LNP is enhanced as compared to an LNP lacking the immune cell delivery potentiating agent. Methods of using the immune cell delivery LNPs for delivery of agents, e.g., nucleic acid delivery, for protein expression, for modulating immune cell activity and modulating immune responses are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11106953
    Abstract: Apparatuses and embodiments related to compensated laser cutting of labels. A computer system receives an image of a label, and rasterizes the image. The computer system determines how much of each type of printer ink of a label printer to deposit at each pixel location of the image. The computer system determines which pixels intersect a cut line, and determines the characteristics of the ink of the pixels, such as the quantity or thickness of the ink at the pixel locations. The computer system determines laser data including power, cut speed, and/or frequency of a laser that is tuned to accurately cut through the ink that forms the image, the material(s) of the label, and the adhesive that removably adheres the label to base material(s), but to not excessively damage the base material(s). A laser cutting system uses the laser data to control a laser.

  • Patent number: 10863355
    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to utilization of shared Wi-Fi. For instance, network access rights of a Wi-Fi network can be controlled by a mobile device of a point of contact for the Wi-Fi network. Moreover, utilization of a Wi-Fi network can be tracked and usage data indicative of historic utilization of the Wi-Fi network can be retained. Further, groups of users between whom Wi-Fi credentials are shared can be created.
