  • Patent number: 11475003
    Abstract: In general, the invention relates to a method for servicing query requests in distributed systems. The method includes making a first determination by a query node that it is associated with a dataspace, making a second determination that data associated with a first input sub-region is not present on the query node, where the first input sub-region is associated with the dataspace. Based on the first determination and the second determination, the method includes obtaining data for the entire dataspace from persistent storage, associating at least a portion of the obtained data with the first input sub-region to obtain a populated first input sub-region, and servicing a query request using the populated first input sub-region.

  • Publication number: 20220309050
    Abstract: A node includes storage that stores a portion of high accessibility data corresponding to a shard that is divided into revisions. The portion of the high accessibility data is managed based on an activity state model including a writing state, a resolving state, a metadata update state, and a reading state. The node further includes a repository manager that obtains a cross-shard read request for the high accessibility data; makes a determination that the portion of the high accessibility data is not in the reading state; in response to the determination, adds the cross-shard read request to a delayed action queue at the revision of a last delayed action in the delayed action queue; and after processing the last delayed action in the delayed action queue and while in the resolving state: converts the cross-shard read request to a read request; and processes the read request.

  • Patent number: 11436664
    Abstract: A system includes location indicators, a central computing system, and a mobile scanning device. The location indicators transmit location signals and are arranged in a store that includes stocked items. The central computing system stores an item association table that maps location values to the stocked items. The location values indicate locations of the stocked items in the store. The mobile scanning device receives ordered items from the central computing system, detects location signal(s), and determines a first location value based on the detected location signal(s). The mobile scanning device arranges the ordered items on a display based on the first location value, scans a first ordered item, and transmits data to the central computing system indicating that the first ordered item is associated with the first location value. The central computing system updates the item association table based on the data.

  • Publication number: 20220154281
    Abstract: A method for identifying T-cells that are antigen-specific for at least one neoantigen that is likely to be presented by class II MHC alleles on surfaces of tumor cells of a subject. Peptide sequences of tumor neoantigens are obtained by sequencing the tumor cells of the subject. The peptide sequences are input into a machine-learned presentation model to generate presentation likelihoods for the tumor neoantigens, each presentation likelihood representing the likelihood that a neoantigen is presented by the class II MHC alleles on the surfaces of the tumor cells of the subject. A subset of the neoantigens is selected based on the presentation likelihoods. T-cells that are antigen-specific for at least one of the neoantigens in the subset are identified. These T-cells can be expanded for use in T-cell therapy. TCRs of these identified T-cells can also be sequenced and cloned into new T-cells for use in T-cell therapy.
