Abstract: Methods are disclosed for treating a subject with a tumor. These methods include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of CD8+CD39+CD103+ T cells. Methods also are disclosed for isolating a nucleic acid encoding a T cell receptor (TCR) that specifically binds a tumor cell antigen. These methods include isolating CD8+CD39+CD103+ T cells from a sample from a subject with a tumor expressing the tumor cell antigen, and cloning a nucleic acid molecule encoding a TCR from the CD8+CD39+CD103+ T cells. In addition, methods are disclosed for expanding CD8+CD39+CD103+ T cells. In additional embodiments, methods are disclosed for determining if a subject with a tumor will respond to a checkpoint inhibitor. The methods include detecting the presence of CD8+CD39+CD103+ T cells in a biological sample from a subject.

The cartomizer comprises a liquid container which provides a liquid toward the heating element wherein the liquid is used for producing and flavoring a vapor of the electronic cigarette when the liquid is heated by the heating element, and a memory which is operable to record and store an amount of the liquid remaining in the liquid container.
Abstract: Automated data-matching includes obtaining first and second stored fingerprints generated from first and second data. The stored fingerprints are divided into frames, and grouped into first blocks and second blocks including an equal number of frames. Each frame included in a current first block is compared to each frame included in a current second block to determine a number of matching frames, and a hamming distance between the current first block and the current second block is determined, based at least in part on the number of matching frames. A determination is made, based at least in part on the hamming distance, whether the current first block and the current second block match.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure generally relate to monitoring, evaluating, and controlling fracture geometry during a hydraulic fracturing operation, in real time. A method comprises measuring a signal representing a condition in a wellbore; inputting the signal into a model for estimating a dimension of a dominant fracture; determining the dimension of the dominant fracture; determining a target dimension for the dominant fracture; and minimizing a difference between the dimension of the dominant fracture and the target dimension in real time, by adjusting at least an injection pressure or flow rate of a hydraulic fracturing fluid into the wellbore.
Abstract: This disclosure relates to method and system for training of deep learning based time-series models based on self-supervised learning. The problem of missing data is taken care of by introducing missing-ness masks. The deep learning model for univariate and multivariate time series data is trained with the distorted input data using the self-supervised learning to reconstruct the masked input data. Herein, the one or more distortion techniques include quantization, insertion, deletion, and combination of the one or more such distortion techniques with random subsequence shuffling. Different distortion techniques in the form of reconstruction of masked input data are provided to solve. The deep learning model performs these different distortion techniques, which force the deep learning model to learn better features. It is to be noted that the system uses a lot of unlabeled data available cheaply as compared to the label or annotated data which is very hard to get.

Abstract: A system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the processor. The non-transitory computer readable medium includes code, that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive input from a user of a user device to generate an optimal payment location on an application display, generate a first boundary of the optimal payment location on the application display of the user device based upon a first motion of a payment enabled card in a first direction and generate a second boundary of the optimal payment location on the application display of the user device based upon a second motion of the payment enabled card in a second direction. The first boundary and the second boundary combine to form defining edges of the optimal payment location.

Abstract: A computing device may determine that a condition exists with respect to a user of an application. Based on the determined condition, the computing device may determine an action for the user to perform via the application, and an associated importance level of the action. The computing device may identify a user interface element of the application that is associated with the action and a color that is associated with the importance level. The computing device may change the appearance of the identified user interface element such that the user interface element has the color that is associated with the importance level of the action.
