  • Patent number: 11989182
    Abstract: A data analysis system for measuring a materiality feature of interest is disclosed. The system includes a computing cluster ingesting content comprising a plurality of observables relevant to an entity, wherein each observable is related to at least one feature of interest. The system further includes an extraction engine running on the computing cluster and tagging the observables with an entity identifier in response to the observables referencing at least one of an entity, a tradename associated with the entity, or product associated with the entity. Additionally, the system includes an analysis engine running on the computing cluster and tagging an observable in response to the feature of interest being related to the observable. In one embedment, the analysis engine measures the materiality of the feature of interest to the entity by counting a number of observables from the plurality of observables tagged with the entity identifier.

  • Publication number: 20240133905
    Abstract: Cell deposition and staining apparatuses and methods are disclosed herein. In particular, the deposition and staining apparatuses disclosed herein provide low-volume, automated bench top systems for depositing and staining cellular samples on a cytological slide. An example deposition and staining apparatus includes a housing having an access door; a substrate processing holder located within the housing configured to hold one or more substrates and/or one or more substrate cartridges, wherein the substrate processing holder is accessible when the access door is in an open configuration; at least one opening located at least partially above at least a portion of the substrate processing holder; a spray nozzle configured to dispense a gaseous substance into the substrate processing area; a user interface configured receive an input from a user, and in response to receiving the input, cause execution of a pre-programmed protocol; and a waste and/or reagent holder element.

  • Publication number: 20240081473
    Abstract: A method for forming a molded article having an insert includes temporarily protecting features of the insert during a molding process using a malleable plugging material. In one step, the method includes disposing a plug including the plugging material within a receptacle of the insert, where each receptacle includes an engagement feature. The insert and the plugging material are placed into a mold, and a liquid molding material is applied to an exterior surface of the insert. The liquid molding material is solidified, forming the molded article including the insert embedded in the solidified molding material. The molded article is removed from the mold, and the plugging material is removed from the receptacle of the insert that is embedded in the molded article to expose the engagement feature.

  • Patent number: 11565546
    Abstract: An example wheel assembly includes a wheel hub including a first bore having a first central axis, and a wheel including a second bore having a second central axis. The first central axis is offset from the second central axis. The example wheel assembly includes a wheel stud extending through the first bore and the second bore to couple the wheel and the wheel hub. The wheel stud has a first portion proximate to the first bore and a second portion proximate to the second bore. The example wheel assembly includes a wheel nut threaded onto the wheel stud. The first portion of the wheel stud is to move from a first position relative to an axis of rotation of the wheel hub to a second position relative to the axis of rotation when the wheel nut is tightened to fix the wheel to the wheel hub.

  • Patent number: 9422967
    Abstract: A wheel stud includes a fixing segment, which has a first external thread, and a receiving segment, which has a second external thread. Here, the first external thread runs opposite in direction to the second external thread. More particularly, the wheel stud is configured to be connected to a wheel hub through the fixing segment, where the wheel hub includes at least one receiver bore having an internal thread corresponding to the first external thread.
