The barrier is movable between a covering position in which the barrier partly covers the recess and an access position in which the recess is less covered or is uncovered by the barrier. Said at least part of the base is configured to flex as the barrier is moved between the covering position and the access position.

Abstract: In various examples, a method of establishing a communication session between an external device and an implantable medical device is described. The method includes generating at the external device a first private key and a first public key. A start session order is sent over a long-range communication channel. Evidence of physical proximity is sent from the external device to the implantable medical device over a short-range communication channel. A second private key and a second public key are generated at the implantable medical device. A first shared key is generated by the implantable medical device using the first public key and the second private key. A second shared key is generated by the external device using the second public key and the first private key. The first and second shared keys are used to encrypt and decrypt one or more messages between the external device and the implantable medical device.

Abstract: A system for monitoring autoregulation may include processing circuitry configured to receive a blood pressure signal indicative of an acquisition blood pressure of a patient at an acquisition site and an oxygen saturation signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of the patient. The processing circuitry may determine a cerebral autoregulation status value based on the blood pressure signal and the oxygen saturation signal. The processing circuitry may determine a non-cerebral autoregulation status value based on the cerebral autoregulation status value and an adjustment value. The processing circuitry provide to an output device a signal indicative of the non-cerebral autoregulation status value and a signal indicative of the cerebral autoregulation status value to enable a clinician to monitor the autoregulation status of the patient.

Abstract: A first request to identify, among a plurality of user accounts, a subset of user accounts that are available to receive a transfer of a messaging conversation with a recipient device is received via a first application programming interface (API) call from a first client device associated with a first user account. A first response identifying the subset of user accounts that are available to receive the transfer of the messaging conversation is sent to the first client device responsive to receiving the first request. A second request to transfer the messaging conversation to a second user account identified among the subset of user accounts is received via a second API call from the first client device. The messaging conversation is transferred to the second user account to facilitate a continuation of the messaging conversation with the recipient device responsive to receiving the second request.

Abstract: Implementations relate to determining a rendering type for an application that is executing automatically. Based on user interactions with an application that is associated with specified input from the user while the user is interacting with the application, a confidence metric is generated for each specified input and a rendering type is determined based on the confidence metrics. Subsequently, when the user requests that a sequence of actions be performed, the application will be displayed according to the rendering type.

Abstract: The subject invention provides compositions and methods for isolating exosomes from, for example, biological fluid samples, cell cultures and/or cultured medium. Provided are Absolute Precipitation of Exosomes (APEX) reagents and precipitation techniques to isolate exosomes from various EV subsets, cells, dead cells, and/or cell debris. Advantageously, APEX is a rapid, effortless, inexpensive, high-recovery method to extract exosomes. This method is also faster and purer at isolating exosomes from other precipitation techniques.

The inlet channels and outlet channels are alternatingly arranged in both lateral dimensions so that the sorbent particle volume is confined by the interspace defined by adjacent side walls of inlet and outlet channels. Further, the sorbent particle volume surrounds the channels circumferentially.

Abstract: Auto-calibrating current sensor integrated circuits (ICs) are configured for mounting at a position relative to a conductor. The auto-calibrating current sensor ICs can include a plurality of magnetic field sensing elements disposed at different locations within the integrated circuit, respectively, and can be configured to measure a magnetic field produced by a current carried by the conductor. The auto-calibrating sensors can include an electromagnetic model of the IC and the conductor. The model can be operative to determine a magnetic field at points in space due to a given current in the conductor at a known location of the conductor from the IC, and also the inverse situation of determining an unknown current and/or location of the conductor based on measurements of a magnetic field at known locations in space due to an unknown current in the conductor. Related auto-calibration methods are also described.

Abstract: A technique for data sharing among multiple filers that share a volume in a private or public cloud object store is implemented. In this approach, a mechanism is provided to enable a local filer to determine whether other filers that are sharing the volume have a consistent view of new data being written to the cloud object store by the local filer. The begins by associating together a collection of one or more files in a “push class.” On demand, a push operation for the push class is initiated on the local filer. Preferably, the push is managed according to one or more push criteria associated with the push class. Typically, the push operation pushes file data and metadata associated with the one or more files of the push class in respective phases, with the file data being pushed to the cloud during a first phase and the metadata associated with that file data being pushed during a second phase that follows the first phase.
