  • Patent number: 11988584
    Abstract: A disposable staining system is provided including an insertable module configured to receive a biological sample therein, the insertable module including a well in which the biological sample is positioned; and a staining cartridge configured to receive the insertable module including the biological sample therein, the insertable module being positioned in the staining cartridge. The insertable module has first and second inclined planes on opposing sides of an upper surface of the insertable module. A sled configured to receive the insertable module has corresponding first and second inclined planes on a bottom surface thereof. The first and second inclined planes of the insertable module and the first and second inclined planes of the sled are configured to transform horizontal movement of the insertable module into the staining cartridge into a vertical movement of the sled such that the sled is pushed upward.

  • Patent number: 11978159
    Abstract: A cross reality system that provides an immersive user experience by storing persistent spatial information about the physical world that one or multiple user devices can access to determine position within the physical world and that applications can access to specify the position of virtual objects within the physical world. Persistent spatial information enables users to have a shared virtual, as well as physical, experience when interacting with the cross reality system. Further, persistent spatial information may be used in maps of the physical world, enabling one or multiple devices to access and localize into previously stored maps, reducing the need to map a physical space before using the cross reality system in it. Persistent spatial information may be stored as persistent coordinate frames, which may include a transformation relative to a reference orientation and information derived from images in a location corresponding to the persistent coordinate frame.

  • Patent number: 11049101
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods of providing secure remote transaction (SRT) transactions. In some embodiments, upon selection of a checkout element, a user may be identified with respect to a transaction to be completed. A number of accounts may then be identified in relation to that user. Upon selection of a particular account, the user may be authenticated using a facilitator application installed on a mobile computing device that supports authentication for the selected account. In some embodiments, the system may involve the use of a transaction-specific token generated upon receiving an authentication indicator from the facilitator application.
