Abstract: An apparatus for generating an activity article, the apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory, wherein the memory contains instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive activity data from an activity data source, determine an activity classification as a function of the activity data, select a plurality of tokens as a function of the activity classification, and generate an activity article as a function of the plurality of tokens, wherein the activity article containing contains an activity article link.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a photoacoustic tomography (PAT) probe to direct light to various regions within the tissue of interest to improve image quality and remove cumbersome artifacts at their source. Particularly, a rotating PAT probe and method of using thereof to improve the photoacoustic penetration depth and signal to noise ratio in biological samples. Signal intensity at region of interest is increased by fine-tuning the fiber orientation with respect to the ultrasound transducer. Additional PA filter is used to prevent in vivo probe-skin artifacts.

Abstract: A quantitative method for diagnosing an autoimmune disease or an infectious disease comprising performing an automated diagnostic assay, comprising: incubating a capture reagent with a streptavidin-coated medium to form a solid phase complex, wherein the capture reagent is a biotinylated autoantigen or infectious disease antigen; washing the solid phase complex to remove excess capture reagent; incubating the solid phase complex with a serum sample to form an immune complex; washing the immune complex to remove any unbound sample; incubating the immune complex with a conjugate to create an immune-conjugate complex; washing the immune-conjugate complex to remove any unbound conjugate; introducing a substrate capable of generating a quantifiable response; and calibrating the response generated from introducing the substrate.

Abstract: In one aspect, an elastically averaged alignment system is provided. The system includes a first component including an alignment member, the alignment member including a base portion extending from an edge of the first component, and a connector portion coupled to the base portion. The system also includes a second component including a receiving member. The receiving member includes a pair of cantilever members extending from an edge of the second component and defines a receiving aperture configured to receive at least a portion of the alignment member to couple the first component and the second component. The alignment member is an elastically deformable material such that when the alignment member is inserted into the receiving aperture, the alignment member elastically deforms to an elastically averaged final configuration to facilitate aligning the first component edge relative to the second component edge.

Abstract: There is provided a method for online distribution of 3D model files for printing 3D models. The method includes establishing a designer account with a designer user. The method includes receiving from the designer user a 3D model file defining printer specifications for the printing of the 3D model file. The method includes compiling a prohibited list of prohibited 3D models. The method includes comparing the received 3D model file with the prohibited list for matches between the 3D model file and the prohibited 3D models of the prohibited list. The method includes establishing a client account with a client user. The method includes making the received 3D model file available for selection by the client user only if the 3D model file is not matched with any of the prohibited 3D models of the prohibited list.
