Abstract: A ram air turbine rotor comprises at least one intra-flow path shroud structure coupled between rotor blades, along a radial position between a support disc and an outer rim. The shroud structure includes shroud sectors each coupled between a respective pair of blades. The sectors each include a first edge adjacent to leading edges of the respective pair of blades, the first edge including a first curved segment, and a second edge adjacent to trailing edges of the respective pair of blades, the second edge including a second curved segment. The curved segments are each partially defined by a respective ellipse having a semi-major axis and a semi-minor axis. The semi-major axis is a portion of a spanwise distance between the respective pair of blades. The semi-minor axis is a portion of an axial distance between the leading edge of one blade and the trailing edge of an adjacent blade.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device configured to be positioned within a prosthetic socket. The device includes a tether having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end of the tether is configured to be coupled to a prosthetic liner. The device also includes a spool fixed with respect to the prosthetic socket. The second end of the tether is coupled to the spool. The device also includes a motor and a battery configured to provide power to the motor. The device also includes a coupling mechanism configured to transition from a first position in which the spool is only able to rotate in a first direction to a second position in which the spool is able to rotate in the first direction and a second direction. The device also includes a release actuator positioned on an exterior of the prosthetic socket. Actuation of the release actuator causes the coupling mechanism to transition from the first position to the second position.

The light panel may provide output visible at the exterior surface; the decorative layer and/or absorber panel may provide a visual effect. The cover may comprise a light-transmissive cover; illumination from a display may comprise visible light transmitted through a functional layer and through an at least partially translucent cover. The component may comprise a light panel to provide output visible at the cover exterior surface. A method of operating the user interface provided by the composite structure is also disclosed. The user interface may be coupled to a control system.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of generating an artificial immunohistochemistry (IHC) image of cells. The method includes receiving a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained whole slide image (WSI) generated by a brightfield microscopy imaging modality of at least a portion of cells included in a specimen, applying, to the H&E brightfield image, at least one trained model, the trained model being trained to generate the artificial IHC image based on the H&E brightfield image, receiving the artificial IHC image from the trained model.

Abstract: A method for characterizing cancer organoid response to an immune cell based therapy, includes providing a panel of different combinations of cancer organoid cells and immune cells to culturing wells and culturing the different combination under conditions that support organoid growth. Brightfield and corresponding fluorescence images of the culturing wells are captured and provided to one or more trained machine learning algorithms that identify and distinguish cancer organoid cells from immune cells and characterize cancer organoid morphology changes caused by an immune cell based therapies, from which an analytical report including a characterization of cancer organoid cell death caused by the immune cell based therapy is provided.

Abstract: A wireless computer that pairs with a remote audio-video presentation device, such as a television. As a result of the pairing, a communication channel is established for the computer to transmit audio-video content for presentation through that device. Additionally, as part of the pairing, the computer and remote device select a side channel for communication of user commands. The wireless computer may display a user interface through which a user may input commands that control the manner in which the remote audio-video device presents the content. As a result, a user may use the wireless computer as a remote control for the audio-video device, controlling both the content presented and the manner in which it is presented. The side channel may use different frequencies than the channel used to communicate audio-video content, and may use very low power at frequencies in the digital TV spectrum.
