Abstract: An example binding assay includes a plurality of sub-regions, a plurality of synthetic compounds on beads, wherein each of the plurality of sub-regions includes one of the plurality of synthetic compounds, a biological target labeled with a first detectable label in each of the plurality sub-regions, and a biological counter target labeled with a second detectable label in each of the plurality of sub-regions. The biological counter target is configured to bind to the biological target when the biological target is in a first orientation. And, wherein a first subset of the plurality of synthetic compounds bind to the biological target and effect interactions between the biological target and the biological counter target.

Abstract: A method for acquiring a random number for a blockchain includes: in a process of executing a business transaction request, calling an oracle contract to generate a random number acquisition request; processing the random number acquisition request through the oracle contract, and making at least two oracle nodes arranged outside the blockchain generate random factors based on private keys of the at least two oracle nodes; acquiring the random factors fed back by the at least two oracle nodes through the oracle contract; aggregating the random factors through the oracle contract to form an aggregation factor, and generating a random number according to the aggregation factor and an on-chain random algorithm; and feeding back the random number to the business transaction request through the oracle contract.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for monitoring a state of an external data source, a device, and a medium, relating to the field of computer technology and, in particular, to blockchain technology. The method is applied by a blockchain node and includes acquiring a data subscription transaction request initiated by a client; invoking an oracle contract to perform the data subscription transaction request to record a target data subject subscribed by a user and control an oracle node to monitor a change of target data of the target data subject provided by the external data source; acquiring a change event of the target data subject fed back by the oracle node and uploading the change event to a chain to enable the client to monitor the change event. The preceding technical solution implements the monitoring of the state change of the external data source.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods detect latent HIV in a patient on anti-retroviral therapy (ART), the method comprising using optical scanning to identify in a cell sample of the patient Gag+ CD4 downregulated cells as in indication of latent HIV.

Abstract: Embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure include apparatuses, devices, and methods. For example, a method is directed to method exposing immobilized white blood cells from a blood sample to an antigen. And, scanning the immobilized white blood cells and, therefrom, identify and isolate white blood cells from among the immobilized white blood cells that produce an antibody in response to the exposure to the antigen.

Abstract: Antibiotic susceptibility profile and the bacterial species identification are reported and determined in a single diagnostic test. The method simultaneously reports for a sample of bacteria the identities of the bacteria and their respective antibiotic susceptibilities, the method comprising step(s): contacting the bacteria with antibiotics, a phenotypic fluorescent sensor of antibiotic susceptibility and species- or strain-specific affinity probes, wherein the probes and sensor simultaneously report, respectively, the identities of the bacteria and their respective antibiotic susceptibilities.

Abstract: A sound absorptive multilayer composite having an air-impermeable barrier, an air-permeable reinforcing core having an airflow resistance of at least about 100 mks Rayls and a thickness at least about ? the final composite thickness, an air-permeable open cell foam or fibrous pad having an airflow resistance less than about 2000 mks Rayls and a thickness at least about 1/10 the final composite thickness and a semipermeable airflow-resistive membrane having an airflow resistance of about 500 to about 4000 mks Rayls can provide improved acoustic performance. For example, existing vehicular headliner designs may be improved by adding a properly chosen and properly positioned semipermeable airflow-resistive membrane, a properly chosen and properly positioned air-impermeable barrier, or a properly chosen and properly positioned open cell foam layer.
