  • Patent number: 11972095
    Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.

  • Publication number: 20240099278
    Abstract: Genetically modified non-human animals are provided that may be used to model human hematopoietic cell development, function, or disease. The genetically modified non-human animals comprise a nucleic acid encoding human IL-6 operably linked to an IL-6 promoter. In some instances, the genetically modified non-human animal expressing human IL-6 also expresses at least one of human M-CSF, human IL-3, human GM-CSF, human SIRPa or human TPO. In some instances, the genetically modified non-human animal is immunodeficient. In some such instances, the genetically modified non-human animal is engrafted with healthy or diseased human hematopoietic cells. Also provided are methods for using the subject genetically modified non-human animals in modeling human hematopoietic cell development, function, and/or disease, as well as reagents and kits thereof that find use in making the subject genetically modified non-human animals and/or practicing the subject methods.

  • Patent number: 11927868
    Abstract: Electro-optic (EO) devices having an EO polymer core comprising a first host polymer and a first nonlinear optical chromophore (NLOC); and a cladding comprising a second host polymer and a second NLOC, and methods of preparing the same; wherein the first NLOC has a first bridge covalently bonded to an electron-accepting group and an electron-donating group; wherein the second NLOC has a second bridge covalently bonded to an electron-accepting group and an electron-donating group; and wherein the second bridge is less conjugated than the first bridge such that the cladding has an index of refraction that is less than that of the EO polymer core, and wherein the second NLOC is present in the second host polymer in a concentration such that the cladding has a conductivity equal to or greater than at least 10% of the conductivity of the EO polymer core at a poling temperature.

  • Publication number: 20240076123
    Abstract: A sanitary product disposal container includes a container housing having a movable housing top cover. A cover hinge assembly allows the top cover to pivot between open and closed positions. Accordingly, a used feminine hygiene product may be placed in the interior space of the container housing in the open position of the housing top cover while minimizing touching the container housing to open the housing top cover. The housing may be selectively opened to facilitate removal of the used feminine hygiene products from the interior space all without exposure to the used products or the escape of unpleasant odors.

  • Publication number: 20240074414
    Abstract: Genetically modified non-human animals expressing human EPO from the animal genome are provided. Also provided are methods for making non-human animals expressing human EPO from the non-human animal genome, and methods for using non-human animals expressing human EPO from the non-human animal genome. These animals and methods find many uses in the art, including, for example, in modeling human erythropoiesis and erythrocyte function; in modeling human pathogen infection of erythrocytes; in in vivo screens for agents that modulate erythropoiesis and/or erythrocyte function, e.g. in a healthy or a diseased state; in in vivo screens for agents that are toxic to erythrocytes or erythrocyte progenitors; in in vivo screens for agents that prevent against, mitigate, or reverse the toxic effects of toxic agents on erythrocytes or erythrocyte progenitors; in in vivo screens of erythrocytes or erythrocyte progenitors from an individual to predict the responsiveness of an individual to a disease therapy.

  • Patent number: 11839608
    Abstract: The disclosed invention provides an antibacterial pro-coagulant formula for assisting in combating the condition of bleeding gums caused by periodontal disease and gingivitis that enhances the natural healing process by assisting in the of cessation of bleeding by providing an “anti-bacterial oral healing environment” accompanied by enhanced blood flow to the affected bleeding area for more rapid blood clotting and increased blood flow to the affected area to assist the body's natural process of rebuilding healthy gum-tissue. Additionally, the disclosed invention with its antibacterial benefits, when used topically, provides for rapid surface skin blood clotting as well as increased blood circulation on the skin surface which greatly aids in the healing of external skin cuts, such as nicks from shaving or against inflammation of the skin from acne vulgaris.

  • Publication number: 20230371572
    Abstract: A produce cutting apparatus is utilized, among other things, for making single cuts in an elongated produce product to trim ends, segment the product into variable length segments, make fixed length segments, and cutting out undesirable portions of the produce product. Using a combination of a feed belt, sensor, radial cutter apparatus and programmable controller, the apparatus precisely locates each cut. The cutting blade makes a single cut with each rotation of the radial cutter apparatus. The apparatus may further have a piece removal system and a product holding system.

  • Patent number: 11680833
    Abstract: A new DP meter diagnostic system for wet gas flow builds on existing diagnostic techniques. Based on new diagnostic parameters and calculations derived from them, blocked pressure ports or impulse lines can be identified or wet gas established as the cause of an abnormal reading. Further diagnostic techniques can take advantage of the new diagnostic parameters to predict a liquid loading parameter, gas flow rate and fluid flow rate for wet gas flow.

  • Publication number: 20220398445
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using a trained machine learning (ML) pipeline to identify categories associated with target data items even though the identified categories may not already be present in the hierarchy. The ML pipeline may include trained cluster-based and classification-based machine learning models, among others. If the results of the cluster-based and classification-based machine learning models are the same, then the target data items is assigned to a hierarchical classification consistent with the identical results of the machine learning model. An assigned hierarchical classification may be validated by the operation of subsequent trained ML models that determine whether parent and child categories in the identified classification are properly associated with one another.
