  • Publication number: 20210121583
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of screening for a sortilin binding antagonist. In some embodiments, the methods include incubating an agent with a sortilin protein and a sortilin ligand, where the sortilin protein and sortilin ligand are each attached to a member of a fluorescence donor/acceptor pair, exciting the fluorescence donor of the fluorescence donor/acceptor pair, and detecting fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence donor at a second wavelength and fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence acceptor at a third wavelength. A decrease in the ratio of the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence acceptor at the third wavelength to the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence donor at the second wavelength, as compared to the ratio in the absence of the agent, indicates that the agent is a sortilin binding antagonist.

  • Publication number: 20210124349
    Abstract: A steering column for autonomous vehicles includes a powered actuator controlling rotation of a lower column, an inner column, and an upper column that is movable relative to the lower and inner columns. Rotation of the lower column relative to the upper column moves the upper column lengthwise. A powered lock rotatably interconnects the inner and lower columns when in a first position, and locks the inner column to a base when in a second position. In an autonomous mode, the upper column is stowed, the powered lock is in the first position, and the motor inhibits rotation of the lower column. In a manual mode, the upper column is extended, the powered lock is in the second position, and a sensor detects an angular position of the upper column.

  • Publication number: 20210124744
    Abstract: A method for execution by a query processing system includes receiving a query request from a requesting entity. Query cost data is generated based on the query request by utilizing a query pricing scheme. Minimum query cost compliance data is generated for the query request based on determining whether the minimum query cost data complies with a minimum query cost rule. When the minimum query cost compliance data indicates the minimum query cost data complies with the minimum query cost rule a query result is generated based on facilitating execution of the query by executing at least one query function of the query against a database system, and the query result is transmitted to the requesting entity. When the minimum query cost compliance data indicates the query cost data does not comply with the minimum query cost rule, the query result is not transmitted to the requesting entity.

    Abstract: A method and system for managing domain name system (DNS) name servers using virtual name servers is disclosed. A plurality of virtual name servers are mapped to a plurality of actual name servers of the DNS. Each actual name server stores at least one record identifying a domain and an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a computer hosting that domain. Information is received from a monitoring service computer identifying which actual name servers are unhealthy and which actual name servers are healthy. Based on this information, the mapping of each virtual name server that is mapped to an unhealthy actual name server is updated to map to one of the healthy actual name servers.

  • Publication number: 20210124176
    Abstract: This document relates to an optical device that uses a mirror scanning system as part of a display engine, where images generated by the mirror scanning system can be propagated through a waveguide or other such optical assembly to a user's eye. The mirror scanning system can utilize a magnetic assembly, where the mirror of the scanning system can be held in place magnetically instead of using support structures such as torsion bars or beams. Actuators can then be actuated to control the tilt of the mirror by way of magnetic fields, providing a greater field of movement for the optical element and enabling a spherical scan area to be produced.

  • Publication number: 20210124565
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for determining an appropriate FPGA for a particular computer program. An embodiment operates by a central processing unit's counter identifying a plurality of workload properties in processing a computer program, wherein the central processing unit is part of a first computer architecture. The central processing unit then sends the workload properties to a controller trained to identify a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) module based on the plurality of workload properties. The central processing unit thereafter receives a recommended FPGA module from the controller and implements the recommended FPGA module in a computer architecture for processing the computer program, whereby the second computer architecture is able to perform the computer program more efficiently than the first computer architecture.

  • Publication number: 20210124567
    Abstract: None of the existing quantum programming languages provide specialized support for programming patterns such as conditional-adjoint or adjoint-via-conjugation. As a result, compilers of these languages fail to exploit the optimization opportunities mentioned in this disclosure. Further, none of the available quantum programming languages provide support for automatic translation of circuits using clean qubits to circuits that use idle qubits. Thus, the resulting circuits oftentimes use more qubits than would be required. Embodiments of the disclosed technology, thus allow one to run said circuits on smaller quantum devices. Previous multiplication circuits make use of (expensive) controlled additions. Embodiments of the disclosed technology employ multipliers that work using conditional-adjoint additions, which are cheaper to implement on both near-term and large-scale quantum hardware. The savings lie between 1.5 and 2× in circuit depth for large number of qubits.

    Abstract: A pitch board game includes a board made of drop stitch inflatable material. The board, prior to inflation, is light weight, compact and easily carried from location to location. When inflated, the board is comparable in strength and hardness to solid wooden board. The game itself is played like the game “cornhole,” as bean bags are tossed by players onto the upper surface of the board, which is propped up at an acute angle. Bags landing on the surface count one point, and bags landing in a hole in the board count three points.
