  • Publication number: 20250069714
    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for determining microsatellite instability. The techniques include generating a reference sample dataset representative of or mimicing a hypothetical matched sample for an individual sample of interest. The reference sample dataset may be generated from a set of reference normal samples that are not matched to the sample of interest. For samples of interest lacking a matched sample, the reference sample dataset may be used to determine microsatellite instability and to provide an indication of a presence, absence, or degree of microsatellite instability of the sample of interest. The reference sample dataset may be generated such that individual microsatelliate regions associated with a high degree of variability between ethnic groups are filtered out, masked, or otherwise not considered.

  • Patent number: 12234845
    Abstract: An electric powertrain for a machine includes an electric power source. The powertrain further includes an implement pump for powering a work implement and an implement pump electric motor. An electric traction motor is operably coupled to a traction device. An electronic controller stores a plurality of rimpull torque curves. The electronic controller is configured to determine if the electric power source is in a power limited condition and upon determining that the electric power source is in a power limited condition act to derate a rimpull torque of the traction device from a first rimpull torque curve of the plurality of rimpull torque curves to a lower second rimpull torque curve of the plurality of rimpull torque curves, wherein the selection of the second rimpull torque curve is based on a power usage by the implement pump electric motor.

  • Patent number: 12233051
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of treating a patient having primary hyperoxaluria or idiopathic hyperoxaluria comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of compound of the formula and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof to the patient. The variables, e.g. ring A, n, R, R3, R10, X, Y, and Z are defined herein. These compounds act as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors and are useful inhibiting the conversion of glyoxylate to oxalate. When administered to a patient having a disease or disorder associated with elevated oxalate levels, such as PH type 1, type 2, or type 3 or idiopathic hyperoxaluria the compounds prevent or substantially reduce the amount and buildup of oxalate the patient's kidneys, bladder, urinary tract and other parts of the patient's body.

  • Patent number: 12213796
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing an olfaction training program by an online service executing on a server. A first object and an aroma of the first object is transmitted to the client device of a user that presents the first object in a virtual reality environment and disperses the first aroma. In response, the user interacts with the vital reality environment. The user response is transmitted back to the online service. The user response is stored in a database along with the first data and the first aroma. The online service determines a second object and an aroma of the second object based on the user response. The second object and the aroma of the second object is transmitted to the client device.

  • Patent number: 12204740
    Abstract: An integrated approach is provided to running web applications with various compatibilities that do not require third-party extensions or sacrifice user experience. When a page of an application incompatible with a first browser is to be executed, an instance of a second browser with which the page is compatible is separately invoked and/or executed without opening a window for that second browser. Instead, the second browser opens a page within the window of the first browser. Moreover, rendering and/or contextual information for a page opened via the second browser is provided to the first browser. Such information is utilized by the first browser to provide a visual experience to the user in which the web page is being hosted by the first browser, even though it is in fact being hosted by the second browser.
