  • Publication number: 20240115300
    Abstract: An adjustable implant system configured to non-invasively guide bone growth in a patient. The adjustable implant system includes a tether having a first end coupled to a fixed bone anchor and a second end coupled to an adjustable bone anchor. The adjustable bone anchor includes a driver disposed within a housing and the driver is configured to actuate in response to an externally applied magnetic field. The adjustable implant system includes an external adjustment device configured to non-invasively actuate the driver disposed within the adjustable bone anchor. Non-invasive actuation of the driver can cause the adjustable bone anchor to increase or decrease the amount of tension on the tether.

  • Publication number: 20240117428
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides nucleotide conjugates each configured to include a core attached to multiple nucleotide-arms, where the nucleotide-arms are modular and comprise (i) a core attachment moiety, (ii) a spacer, (iii) a linker, and (iv) a nucleotide unit. The nucleotide unit of each nucleotide-arm can bind a polymerase which is complexed with a nucleic acid template and nucleic acid primer. The nucleotide unit can bind the 3? end of the primer at a position that is opposite a complementary nucleotide in the template strand. Under suitable conditions, the nucleotide unit of the nucleotide conjugates binds the primer strand but does not undergo polymerase-catalyzed incorporation. The binding event can be detected, and the specific base of the nucleotide unit can be identified. The nucleotide conjugates described herein are useful for nucleic acid sequencing methods, particularly for massively parallel sequencing methods employed for next gen sequencing platforms.

  • Patent number: 11918023
    Abstract: A bean roasting system includes a roasting chamber, a blower, a variable diverter and a controller. The roasting chamber, the blower and the variable diverter each is disposed at least partially within a recirculating gas flow path. The blower is configured to provide a flow stream of gas through the recirculating gas flow path. The variable diverter is configured to split the gas flow path into at least two flow paths including a treated flow path and a bypass flow path. The treated flow path includes a series arrangement of a gas heater and a catalytic converter. The variable diverter is configured to control a percentage of a flow stream of gas that is diverted into the bypass flow path. The controller is configured to activate different predetermined operating modes for the bean roasting system by controlling a state of the variable diverter and a state of the heater.

  • Publication number: 20230276428
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive frequency hopping for reducing or avoiding electromagnetic interference between two radios operating in the same radio frequency (RF) band are provided. In one aspect, a host device, which includes first and second wireless radios and a hardware processor, can use adaptive frequency hopping among a plurality of RF channels to reduce interference. The device can control the first wireless radio to establish a first wireless connection with a terminal device via a first subset of channels, determine a set of performance statistics for the channels, and replace at least one of the first subset of the channels with a new channel within the plurality of channels based on the statistics. For example, a channel can be replaced if a packet error rate (PER) exceeds a threshold.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, information configuring an active bandwidth part (BWP) that does not include a bandwidth associated with one or more of a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a control resource set zero (CS0). The UE may perform, based at least in part on a radio frequency (RF) retune mode, an RF retune to a union bandwidth that covers the active BWP and the bandwidth associated with one or more of the SSB or the CS0. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20230020387
    Abstract: A method for forming a coating on a component of a substrate processing system includes arranging the component in a processing chamber and applying a ceramic material to form the coating on one or more surfaces of the component. The ceramic material is comprised of a mixture including a rare earth oxide and having a grain size of less than 150 nm and is applied while a temperature within the processing chamber is less than 400° C. The coating has a thickness of less than 30 ?m. A heat treatment process is performed on the coated component in a heat treatment chamber. The heat treatment process includes increasing a temperature of the heat treatment chamber from a first temperature to a second temperature that does not exceed a melting temperature of the mixture over a first period and maintaining the second temperature for a second period.

  • Patent number: 11531918
    Abstract: A method for providing an interactive interface for live event outcome selection and prediction may include generating a set of cells for an event. The set of cells may be provided to a client device to present in a user interface. A selection of a cell may be received from the client device. The selected cell may be assigned to a user account. The method may generate a coordinate for each cell in the set, wherein each cell coordinate includes a plurality of dimensions, each dimension corresponding to a different entity of the event, and wherein each cell coordinate is unique for the set of cells. The method may comprise calculating, prior to the start of the event, a probability that an event result represented by a cell coordinate will occur; and presenting the probability in association with the cell on the user interface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20220306344
    Abstract: An intelligent container system is provided that accommodates a variety of sizes and shapes of parcels, and that allows the parcels to be dispensed from the container one at a time, in any order. The container system has an open face, such as the bottom. A first panel cooperates with a second panel to selectively close the open bottom, and to selectively open the bottom below a desired parcel, allowing the parcel to be individually dispensed when desired. The container system has a plurality of dividers that can be moved along the length of the container to create a series of compartments that match the sizes of the parcels within the compartments. A position sensing system is used to determine the location of the dividers, and thus the location of the compartments.
