Abstract: Embodiments provide swallowable devices, preparations and methods for delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents within the GI tract. Particular embodiments provide a swallowable device such as a capsule for delivering drugs into the intestinal wall or other GI lumen. Embodiments also provide various drug preparations that are configured to be contained within the capsule, advanced from the capsule into the intestinal wall and degrade within the wall to release the drug to produce a therapeutic effect. The preparation can be coupled to a delivery mechanism having one or more balloons or other expandable devices which are expandable responsive to a condition in the small intestine or other GI lumen to advance the preparation out of the capsule into the intestinal wall. Embodiments are particularly useful for the delivery of drugs which are poorly absorbed, tolerated and/or degraded within the GI tract.

Abstract: A media server proxy switches streaming media protocols (“SMPs”) during streaming of media segments. The media server proxy receives a request, from a playback tool, according to a first SMP to provide information about outgoing media segments of a media sequence. The media server proxy generates the information about outgoing media segments and sends the information to the playback tool. The media server proxy also retrieves, from a remote server, incoming media content for the media sequence according to a second SMP different than the first SMP. The media server proxy assembles outgoing media segments based at least in part on the incoming media content. The media server proxy streams, to the playback tool, outgoing media segments according to the first SMP. In this way, the media server proxy can deliver media segments at very low latency, even when the first SMP typically has much higher latency.

Abstract: Accurate prompting improves the operation, efficiency, and output of computer models, such as language models. The disclosed systems and methods improve interaction with computer models by facilitating the generation of accurate prompts for targeted interactions with computer models. For example, disclosed systems can be configured to store prompts and responses generated with computer models in session memories.

The system improves prompt accuracy by generating combined prompts—formed by combining the context from the stored information (e.g., in context sub-prompts) and instructions in the new prompt (e.g., in instructions sub-prompts). The system can generate responses based on the combined prompts allowing the computer models to leverage the context in previous interactions, without burdensome or complicated prompts, for more meaningful or accurate responses.
