Abstract: A thermal enclosure for a computer having a processor and a display is disclosed and may include an inner case. The thermal enclosure may further include a heat sink attached to the inner case and thermally connected to the processor. The heat sink may have an outer heat dissipation channel. The thermal enclosure may also include an outer housing that at least partially the envelops the inner case. The outer housing may have a rear housing portion and a front housing portion. The rear housing portion, the front housing portion, and the outer heat dissipation channel may define a heat dissipation opening that may have an overall width, W, and an overall depth, D, the outer heat dissipation channel may be recessed within the heat dissipation opening and W and D may be adapted to prevent a human finger from coming into contact with the outer heat dissipation channel.

Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a first monitor and/or a second monitor individually or concurrently. The first monitor is further configured to be detachably secured to the second monitor independently from either monitor being secured to the monitor mount. The second monitor includes a mounting area in which the first monitor is mounted, and the first monitor and the second monitor are configured such that the first monitor is interchangeably insertable into the mounting area from a first lateral direction and a second lateral direction that is opposite to the first lateral direction. Accordingly, the second monitor includes a dual-entry feature that enables the first monitor to be inserted from either lateral side of the second monitor.

Abstract: Methods for generating automations via natural language processing are performed by computing systems. Natural language input is received from a user interface, and an automation workflow is generated based on the natural language input. The automation workflow includes steps to build an automation. One or more of the steps is provided to the user interface, and a first field and a second field that each correspond to the one or more steps are populated in the user interface. The first field is populated with a parameter value based on the natural language input, and the second field is populated based on the parameter value. The automation is then enabled to be built and deployed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described herein for implementing a workflow development system that includes automatic code generation for data transformations. For instance, the workflow development system may provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to add and/or configure one or more workflow steps. At least one workflow step may be configured to perform a transformation or re-formatting of data that may be received from a previous workflow step. The code utilized to perform the transformation or re-formatting may be automatically determined by the workflow development system in accordance with programming-by-example techniques, where a user provides sample input data representative of the data prior to transformation and provides sample output data representative of data post-transformation. The workflow development system learns and/or generates code, that is able to perform the transformation as desired by the user, based on the sample input and output data.

Abstract: A method of processing a substrate includes loading the substrate on a substrate holder. The substrate includes a major surface and a feature disposed over the major surface. The feature has a first width along an etch direction. The method includes exposing portions of the major surface and changing the first width of the feature to a second width along the etch direction by etching a first portion of the sidewalls of the feature with a gas cluster ion beam oriented along a beam direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical method for detecting at least one target molecule (TM) contained in a sample at a determined concentration, which comprises: (a) bringing a sample containing the TM into contact, in a liquid medium, with a solution containing nanoparticles (NPs), the surface of the NPs having been coated or functionalised with at least one type of specific bioreceptor (BR) of the target molecule to be detected (NP-BR), such that the BRs specifically recognise the TM, thus forming conjugates of the NP-BRs with the TMs (NP-BR-TMs); (b) separating the nanoparticles conjugates (NP-BR-TMs and/or NP-BRs) formed in the previous step; (c) bringing the nanoparticles conjugates (NP-BR-TMs and/or NP-BRs) into contact with a sensor surface of an optical transducer that operates by means of reflection and/or transmission, the response of which is based on optical interference, the sensor surface being functionalised by immobilising thereon: (i) the target molecule (TM) or (ii) at least one specific bior

Abstract: An ostomy apparatus comprising a flexible container having an interior chamber for receiving waste from a patient's stoma and an opening for surrounding the stoma, a housing coupled to the container, wherein the housing is configured to accommodate an absorbent material that surrounds the stoma, a port configured to provide fluid communication between the housing and a pressure source; and an adhesive layer configured to seal the housing to skin around the stoma.

Abstract: The invention provided methods in vitro for diagnosis and/or prognosis of a clinical outcome in a subject with a telomere-associated disease comprising determining specific telomere associated variables (TAVs) of a test sample cell from the subject, wherein the value of the TAVs obtained for the test sample compared to a control sample is indicative of the telomerase-associated disease and/or the clinical outcome of the subject.

Abstract: A method including depositing a dielectric film on a substrate including stacked structures with recessed portions formed on side surfaces of each of the stacked structures, wherein the dielectric film is deposited so that the stacked structures are covered at a thickness which is equal to or less than half a width of the recessed portions; filling a trench or trenches that are located between the stacked structures with a sacrificial film; etching the sacrificial film along the stacked structures; etching the dielectric film so that the dielectric film is etched more than the sacrificial film; removing the sacrificial film; after the removing of the sacrificial film, depositing a dielectric film to a thickness equal to or less than half the width of the recessed portions; and etching the deposited dielectric film, on a condition that the deposited dielectric film remains in the recessed portions.
