Abstract: Methods and systems for device maintenance are described herein. Objects, such as pills, tablets, capsules, etc., may build an electrostatic charge as they pass through a dispensing device. This electrostatic charge may cause the objects to adhere to components of the dispensing device, such as inside a tube, chamber, etc. To prevent this from happening, the dispensing device may comprise an ionizing component, such as a fan, that may be configured to perform a maintenance procedure. The maintenance procedure may allow the objects to pass through various components of the dispensing device more freely.

Abstract: This application describes creating, modifying, and bending electromagnetic solitons at large scales for the various applications. An electromagnetic soliton generator system controls the magnetic soliton such that the orientation, rotation rate, pitch angle, and magnetic field strength of the solitons are modified to provide the described standing waves and generate a magnetic flux differential.

Abstract: This specification is generally directed to techniques for robust natural language (NL) based control of computer applications. In many implementations, the NL control is at least selectively interactive in that the user feedback input is solicited, and received, in resolving action(s), resolving action set(s), generating domain specific knowledge, and/or in providing feedback on implemented action set(s). The user feedback input can be utilized in further training of machine learning model(s) utilized in the NL based control of the computer applications.

Abstract: Presented herein are methods for detecting the activity of alternative lengthening of telomeres, a telomere maintenance mechanism, by measuring relative G-rich and C-rich telomere DNA in a sample. Detection of ALT activity is accomplished with fluorescent probes that recognize G-strand and C-strand telomeric sequences, and fluorescent in-situ hybridization is used to measure the amounts of G-strand and C-strand DNA in a sample cell. The amounts of G-rich and C-rich telomere sequence in the sample cell is determined, relative to the same sequences in a standard, which may be a characterized cell line or a synthetic standard, such as a microbead with telomeric DNA attached.

Abstract: Nanoparticles comprising a core including transition metal carbide, nitride, phosphide, sulfide, or boride and a noble metal shell can be made by transforming metal oxide core/noble metal shell materials coated in a ceramic material in a controlled environment. The noble metal shell can be a single monolayer. The self-assembly of metal carbide nanoparticles coated with atomically-thin noble metal monolayers results in a highly active, stable, and tunable catalytic platform.

Abstract: A system can receive raw log data from log-producing devices. The system can parse the raw log data to generate parsed log data, including extracting fields from the raw log data, generating structured query language (SQL) statements from the extracted fields, and inserting the SQL statements in a database. The system can summarize the parsed log data, including identifying one or more SQL statements based on fields of commonality and fields of uniqueness, and creating summarized data that include a new statement condensed from the identified SQL statements. The system can then generate a report based on the summarized data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for massively parallel genetic analysis of single cells in emulsions or droplets. A biological sample is divided into subsamples of single cells or cell supbopulations, and a fusion complex is formed by molecular linkage and amplification techniques. Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for high-throughput, massively parallel analysis of the subsamples. These methods integrate molecular, algorithmic, and engineering approaches. They have broad and useful application in a number of biological and medical fields, including immunology, noninvasive prenatal diagnosis, and noninvasive cancer diagnosis.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed which enables network administrators and the like to quickly analyze the data produced by log-producing devices such as network firewalls and routers. Unlike systems of the prior art, the system disclosed herein automatically parses and summarizes log data before inserting it into one or more databases. This greatly reduces the volume of data stored in the database and permits database queries to be run and reports generated while many types of attempted breaches of network security are still in progress. Database maintenance may also be accomplished automatically by the system to delete or archive old log data.

Abstract: A portal and method facilitate routing and holding at least one electrical cable having a plug end. The portal may include a body which fits into a hole in a mounting surface and has a cable opening therein. A closure member moves between a closed position and an open position relative to the cable opening. A retainer movably mounted to the closure member confines the cable in a desired position to inhibit the plug end from moving back toward the interior of the portal body and to permit the plug end to be pulled substantially freely away from the body.

Abstract: Dielectrophoretic (DEP) tweezers apparatus and methods for various applications, including particle trapping. Two electrodes are disposed on or otherwise constitute an elongated object forming a tip. A voltage is applied across these electrodes to produce a non-uniform electromagnetic field proximate to the tip thereby creating a dielectrophoretic trap. Once trapped, a particle may be moved to desired locations via manipulation of the elongated object or the medium in which the particle is located. Multiple DEP tweezers apparatus may be arranged to form arrays of tips capable of respectively generating local electromagnetic fields confined to the tips. Such DEP arrays may be employed in nanofabrication processes involving nanolithography or nano-manipulation, as well as data storage and retrieval applications.
