  • Publication number: 20240428879
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of forming immune complexes for analyzing immunity against a specific antigen or pathogen in an immunized or infected subject. The methods entail isolating polyclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules from a blood or serum sample from an immunized or infected subject, enzymatically digesting the polyclonal Ig molecules to generate Fab molecules, and contacting the Fab molecules with a soluble pathogen and/or antigen of interest, and identifying one or more immune complexes formed between the pathogen and/or antigen and the Fab molecules.

  • Publication number: 20240372486
    Abstract: A quasi-sinusoidal variable capacitor, comprising a stator and a rotor, is disclosed. Its stator and rotor are housed within a vacuum chamber. The stator is fixedly attached to a non-conductive stator mount within the vacuum chamber. The stator includes at least two sub-assemblies of stator pole plates. These stator pole sub-assemblies are electrically isolated from one another, whereas the sub-assemblies' stator plates are in electrical communication with one another. The rotor, through a rotor shaft, is rotatably coupled to the stator mount. The rotor includes a non-conductive rotor mount and conductive rotor segments. The rotor segments are evenly spaced around and fixedly attached to the rotor mount. These rotor segments are electrically isolated from one another. Electrical charge within the stator's capacitance causes electrostatic induction within these rotor segments.

  • Publication number: 20240344478
    Abstract: A split cycle internal combustion engine comprising a compression cylinder accommodating a compression piston; a combustion cylinder accommodating a combustion piston; a crossover passage between the compression cylinder and the combustion cylinder arranged to provide working fluid to the combustion cylinder; a controller arranged to determine a peak temperature of combustion in the combustion cylinder based on a received indication of a peak temperature of combustion in the combustion cylinder; and a coolant system arranged to regulate a temperature of the working fluid supplied to the combustion cylinder; wherein, in response to determining that the peak temperature of combustion exceeds a selected threshold, the controller is configured to control the coolant system to regulate the temperature of the working fluid supplied to the combustion cylinder so that a peak temperature of combustion in the combustion cylinder is less than the selected threshold.

  • Patent number: 12079650
    Abstract: A system and method for the dynamic, run-time configuration of logic core register files, and the provision of an associated execution context. The dynamic register files as well as the associated execution context information are software-defined so as to be virtually configured in random-access memory. This virtualization of both the processor execution context and register files enables the size, structure and performance to be specified at run-time and tailored to the specific processing, instructions and data associated with a given processor state or thread, thereby minimizing both the aggregate memory required and the context switching time. In addition, the disclosed system and method provides for processor virtualization which further enhances the flexibility and efficiency.

  • Patent number: 12073218
    Abstract: A system and method for the storage, within one or more virtual execution context registers, tracing information indicative of process/code flow within a processor system. This stored information can include a time stamp, information indicative of where the instruction pointer of the system was pointing prior to any process discontinuity, information indicative of where the instruction pointer of the system was pointing after any process discontinuity, and the number of times a specific instruction or sub-process is executed during a particular process. The data collected and stored can be utilized within such a system for the identification and analysis of processing hot-spots.

  • Patent number: 12052995
    Abstract: A system and method for rolling planar food products that rest upon interleaving paper is provided. The system includes first and second conveyors, a rotating mechanism and a movement system. The rotating mechanism is normally disposed at a first position proximate to the end of the first conveyor such that a leading edge of planar dough that extends over the first conveyor falls with respect to the rotating mechanism. The controller urges rotation of the rotation mechanism as the leading edge extends with respect to the rotating mechanism and rotates until the planar food product is fully rolled about the rotation mechanism. The movement mechanism then translates the rotation mechanism to a position where it is aligned with the second conveyor.

  • Patent number: 12032984
    Abstract: A system and method for virtual processor customization based upon the particular workload placed upon the virtual processor by one or more execution contexts within a given program or process. The customization serves to optimize the virtual processor architecture based upon a determination as to the size and/or type or virtual execution registers optimally suited for supporting a given execution context. This results in a time-variant processor architecture comprised of a virtual processor base and a virtual execution context.
