Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for calibrating or operating a magnetic sensor for sensor temperature or operating conditions are provided. The magnetic sensor can comprise a dual magnetometer sensor that comprises a first, low-power-consumption magnetometer (e.g., a magneto-inductive magnetometer) and a second higher-power-consumption magnetometer (e.g., a magneto-resistive magnetometer). The second magnetometer can have a lower unit-to-unit variation in temperature calibration parameters and can be used to temperature-correct readings from the first magnetometer. The magnetic sensor can dynamically switch between usage of the first magnetometer and the second magnetometer in order to provide a dynamic sample rate that can depend on conditions within the sensor or external to the sensor.

Abstract: A laser irradiation apparatus (1) according to an embodiment includes an optical-system module (20) configured to apply laser light (L1) to an object to be irradiated, a shield plate (51) in which a slit (54) is formed, through which the laser light (L1) passes, and a reflected-light receiving component (61) disposed between the optical-system module (20) and the shield plate (51), in which the reflected-light receiving component (61) is able to receive, out of the laser light (L1), reflected light (R1) reflected by the shield plate (51).
Abstract: A system includes a machine configured to perform operations including accessing an integrated circuit design including a buffer tree that interconnects a plurality of inputs and buffers. The buffer tree includes a baseline timing characteristic. The operations include identifying a set of candidate solutions for improving the baseline timing characteristic using an initial timing model and selecting a subset of candidate solutions that have a timing characteristic lower than the baseline timing characteristic. Then the subset of candidate solutions are evaluated using a detailed timing model and based on determining that at least one candidate solution in the subset has a timing characteristic that is better than the baseline timing characteristic, selecting a candidate solution from the set of candidate solutions, and updating the buffer tree based on the candidate solution.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a mouse-human chimeric antibody preferably recognizes the MUC1 glycopeptide epitope RPAPGS(GalNAc)TAPPAHG (SEQ ID NO.: 34) on the surface of cancer cells, and the encoding sequences, wherein the monoclonal antibody having a light chain and a heavy chain. Moreover, the present invention provides humanized light and heavy chains, and the encoding sequences. The results of paired expression show that humanized antibodies also recognize the MUC1 glycopeptide epitope RPAPGS(GalNAc)TAPPAHG (SEQ ID NO.: 34) on the surface of cancer cells, and show the same specificity as the parental antibody.

Abstract: A three-dimensional printing system includes a resin vessel, a support plate, a light engine, a build tray, motorized support, and a controller. The resin vessel includes a vessel body defining a central opening and a transparent sheet that closes the central opening. The transparent sheet is at least partially formed from a cast polypropylene (CPP). The support plate is for supporting the resin vessel and includes a rigid transparent central portion for supporting the transparent sheet. The light engine is configured to project pixelated light to a build plane within the resin. The build tray defines a support surface for supporting the three-dimensional article to be at least partially submerged in the resin. The motorized support is configured to align and adjust a vertical position of the build tray. The controller is for controlling the light engine and the motorized support for fabricating the three-dimensional article.
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for generating an audit trail of a record including receiving a request to generate an audit trail of the record, the request comprising a record identifier of the record and a date value, identifying commit data structures corresponding to the record based on the record identifier, each commit data structure corresponding to a set of changes previously applied to fields of the record and comprising a timestamp value, a list of changes made to fields, and a prior commit pointer pointing to a prior commit data structure, identifying commit data structures that are pertinent to the request based at least in part on the timestamp value of at least one commit data structure and the date value, and generating the audit trail of the record based on the list of changes in each commit data structure in the identified commit data structures.

Abstract: Radiation treatment planning includes accessing values of parameters such as a number of beams to be directed into sub-volumes in a target, beam directions, and beam energies. Information that specifies limits for the radiation treatment plan are accessed. The limits include a limit on irradiation time for each sub-volume outside the target. Other limits can include a limit on irradiation time for each sub-volume in the target, a limit on dose rate for each sub-volume in the target, and a limit on dose rate for each sub-volume outside the target. The values of the parameters are adjusted until the irradiation time for each sub-volume outside the target satisfies the maximum limit on irradiation time.
