Abstract: 7-ketolithocholic acid (7-KCLA, 3?-hydroxy-7-oxo-5?-cholanic acid) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and glycine or taurine conjugates are useful for the prevention or treatment of gut dysbiosis, diseases and conditions associated with poor gut health, or in improving the health of the gut microbiome.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of manufacturing a pipe liner for lining the inside of a pipe, for example a water or sewerage pipe requiring repair. The pipe liner is formed of a fabric sleeve, or a plurality of fabric sleeves, and comprises a fluid-proof barrier coating on the inside surface of the pipe liner. The method involves arranging a strip of carrier material comprising a liquid sealant inside the fabric sleeve of the pipe liner and in registration with two opposing side edges of the sheet of fabric, facing an inner barrier coating of the fabric sleeve. The method can advantageously provide such a pipe liner with an inner barrier coating without everting the pipe liner after manufacture. The present invention may provide for avoiding internal cross-welding of said pipe liners and a method for testing the integrity of the barrier coating of said pipe liners.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing deployment failure or damage of a movable portion of a treatment device via a force limiting element in the treatment device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving searching systems for vehicles. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to detecting a gesture performed by an occupant of a vehicle, defining a context of the gesture. The method also includes correlating the gesture with a target. The method also includes constructing a search query based on the context, the target correlated with the gesture, and an occupant request. The method also includes executing the search query to acquire search results. The method further includes communicating the search results to the occupant to provide assistance to the occupant based on the target.

Abstract: A credit card recommendation system for recommending credit cards to a user can be based on the consumer's estimated monthly spend, estimated spend across a plurality of categories, and user credit data. The credit card recommendation system can filter credit cards based on a likelihood of approval for the user. The credit card recommendation can determine a reward valuation and an adjustment valuation by assessing user spend and the characteristics corresponding to the credit card. The credit card recommendation can train a model to score credit cards for users, and apply specific user data to the model to determine a credit card score particular to the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring mechanical energy in a handle to a cartridge to manipulate tissue or anatomical structures within the body of a human or animal subject for the purpose of treating diseases or disorders.

Abstract: A substrate processing system includes a hinge assembly and a make-break connector. The hinge assembly is configured to allow a substrate support and an RF bias assembly of a processing chamber to slide, from a docked position to an undocked position. The make-break connector is configured to supply fluid to at least one of the substrate support and the RF bias assembly. The make-break connector includes a first portion including a first fluid passage, a second portion including a second fluid passage, and a fastener removably connecting the first portion to the second portion. The first portion is configured to slide with the substrate support and the RF bias assembly relative to the second portion.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a processing chamber. A substrate support is within the processing chamber, wherein the substrate support is in thermal contact with a substrate. A cooling system cools the substrate support. The cooling system comprises a first refrigeration system. The first refrigeration system comprises a first refrigerant inlet for receiving the first refrigerant from a first refrigerant source outside of the refrigeration system, wherein the first refrigerant is at a first pressure, a first throttle, wherein the first throttle allows a controlled expansion of the first refrigerant, wherein the expansion of the first refrigerant cools the first refrigerant, a first heat transfer system, for absorbing heat and transferring heat to the cooled first refrigerant, and a first refrigerant return for directing the first refrigerant from the first refrigeration system at a second pressure away from the first refrigeration system.

Abstract: This invention predicts results for a media clip posted to a social media influencer channel by maintaining a database of results data for media clips where an influencer channel includes media clips that include unstructured data, and structured data, and then provide to a first machine learning model a first set of channel data, extracting a first set of features, predicting a value for the first target variable, providing to a second machine learning model a second set of channel data including a second selection of structured data, and the predicted value of the first target variable, extracting a second set of features, and predicting a value for the second target variable.

Abstract: A substrate processing system includes a hinge assembly configured to allow a substrate support and an RF bias assembly to slide, from a docked position to an undocked position, relative to other components of a processing chamber.
