Abstract: Implementations are described herein for automatically generating multimodal geospatial workflows for accomplishing geospatial tasks. In various implementations, a natural language request may be processed based on generative model(s) such as LLM(s) to generate workflow output tokens that identify high-level actions for completing a geospatial task conveyed in the natural language request. First data indicative of the high-level actions may be processed using one or more of the generative models to generate dataset output tokens that identify responsive dataset(s) that likely contain data responsive to the geospatial task. Second data indicative of both the high-level actions and the responsive dataset(s) may be processed based on one or more of the generative models to generate data manipulation output tokens that identify data manipulation instructions for assembling data from the responsive dataset(s) into a response that fulfills the geospatial task.

Abstract: An assay device configured to separate a suspension into a filtrate and a residue for testing at least one of the filtrate and the residue. The device comprises a filter aperture for a filter membrane for receiving the suspension and separating the suspension into the filtrate and the residue. The device further comprises a filtrate receiving portion; a residue receiving portion; a first buffer container; a liquid release member configured to create an outlet of the first buffer container; a filter arm comprising the filter aperture; and a user actuated switch comprising a transition structure configured to guide the filter arm. During a transition from a first set position to a second set position of the user actuated switch, the filter arm is moved such that the filter aperture is aligned with the residue receiving portion; and the liquid release member and the first buffer container are brought together.

Abstract: A lateral flow device for analysing a sample of liquid has a first lateral flow strip configured to respond to a first volume of sample and a second lateral flow strip configured to respond to a second volume of the sample, wherein the second volume is greater than the first volume. The lateral flow device comprises a first well configured to receive the first volume of the sample and a second well configured to receive the second volume of the sample. Each well has a flow restriction outlet located adjacent its lateral flow strip. The lateral flow device comprises a pre-actuation configuration and an actuated configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed is an assay device to determine the presence of at least one analyte of interest in a liquid sample, the device comprising means for generating a first signal (the ‘test’ signal) which indicates the presence and/or amount of analyte of interest in the sample; and means for generating a second signal, the generation of which second signal indicates both (a) the test has been successfully conducted, and that (b) sufficient time has elapsed following contact of the assay device with the liquid sample for the test to be read and the first signal to have been properly generated.

Abstract: A method and system are described for highly declarative specification of master-detail applications of relational databases, by end users who need not be trained in programming or in database administration. The method and system includes a notation in which end users can specify applications using their own English words and phrases, and by using place holders that are set out on indented lines to specify a master-detail hierarchy. The invention improves on the prior art by allowing a wider range of applications to be specified without programming, and without work by database administrators. The invention also improves on the prior art by automatically generating explanations showing what parts of the specification, and what supporting facts from the database, have been used in obtaining an answer to a question.

Abstract: A method and system are described to allow the encryption and decryption of a plaintext string of symbols, e.g. a paragraph of English text, using a key consisting in part of an executable computer program. The method and system is such that an attacker who seeks to recover the plaintext from the ciphertext, without knowing the key, can produce a very large number of decrypt attempts that are plausible, but unrelated in meaning to the original plaintext. However the attacker cannot know whether any one of the attempted decrypts is the correct original plaintext. A property of the method and system is that, if the same plaintext is encrypted twice using the same key, the respective ciphertexts are normally different, and normally have different lengths.
