Abstract: A universal bacterial assay and kit for detecting and monitoring changes in concentration of a target analyte in solution. The assay relies on an engineered high affinity protein-based sensor with a detectable label that has high specificity to a target analyte, typically a ligand or metallated complex, and can be used to spectroscopically monitor interaction of the target analyte with a test bacterial strain. The sensors can be in the form of living, transport-deficient bacterial cells expressing the engineered high affinity protein, or in the form of purified proteins themselves. The system can further be used to screen candidate compounds for interference with the binding and uptake of such analytes by bacterial cells, which is useful in investigation of new classes of antibiotics.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include receiving input of a selection from a client device providing a graphical user interface and a recommendation interface, where the input of the selection includes an explicit attribute. Implicit attribute suggestions are generated based on the explicit attribute. The implicit attribute suggestions are sent to the client device. Attribute selections including at least one implicit attribute suggestion are received from the client device. Prompts are created based on the attribute selections. A generative language model is applied to the prompts. Content including a suggested user recommendation for the first user profile is output by the generative language model based on the prompts. The suggested user recommendation is sent to the client device to cause the suggested user recommendation to be presented on the recommendation interface.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and a system for configuration checking of asset protection infrastructure. During the deployment and configuration stage for a backup workload entailing any number of assets, the administrator(s) of any enterprise information technology environment often face configuration and infrastructural challenges when they onboard their asset sources to perform protection operations. While configuring a protection policy, administrator(s) may understand the environment, however they may not be certain if the environment is configured to fulfill the data protection requirements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing notifications without breaking media immersion. A notification delivery application receives notification data while a media device provides a media asset. In response to receiving the notification data while the media device provides the media asset, the notification delivery application generates a voice model based on a voice detected in the media asset. The notification delivery application converts the notification data to synthesized speech using the voice model and generates, by the media device, the synthesized speech for output at an appropriate point in the media asset based on contextual features of the media asset.

Abstract: A method and system for creating and managing secure tokens associated with users and assets. The method and system of the present invention provide mechanism for dynamically associating a token with one or more users as owners and one or more assets to track the changes in value of those assets. The monetary value of token is determined using a functional relationship with associated assets. The token can be monetized by users associated with the token as owners in the proportion of their ownership. Monetization of the token represents processing of payments equivalent to the monetary value of the token at the time of monetization.

Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein allow the cloud services to better apportion cloud resources between multiple cloud services recipients. The systems and methods accomplish this by both accessing the relevant data (e.g., despite existing security and/or access restrictions) as well as providing it in a short-form communication (e.g., in a format that is usable). The systems and methods accomplish this by first determining a dataset for generating a response to a query and then determining a portion of the dataset that is available to the user.
