  • Patent number: 11861321
    Abstract: A regular expression prompt may be determined by combining a regular expression prompt template with input text from an input document. The regular expression prompt template may include a natural language instruction to identify one or more regular expressions from the input text and one or more fillable portions designated for filling with the input text. The regular expression prompt may be sent to a large language model for evaluation, and one or more regular expressions may be identified based on a response received from the large language model. The regular expressions may be used to disaggregate the input text, and the disaggregated text portions may be used to determine a structured document based on the input document. The structured document may be used to determine a response to a query of the input document.

  • Patent number: 11796498
    Abstract: An analyte in a liquid sample is detected using a capacitive sensor having electrodes and a sensor surface, and a signal processor. The sample is dried to reduce its liquid content, and capacitive measurements are made after the drying and preferably also before the drying. The sample may include particles, and the analyte is part of or attached to the particles, and the particles provide a major part of the capacitance change compared to absence of particles. In another example the particles are degenerative and form an integral mass upon application of heat, enhancing the extent of capacitance change.

  • Patent number: 11779470
    Abstract: A driving instrument for adjusting a spinal implant includes an outer shaft having a distal end configured to actuate a proximal adjustment assembly of a spinal implant, and an inner shaft having a distal end configured to actuate a distal adjustment assembly of the spinal implant. The inner shaft is disposed within the outer shaft, with a proximal end of the inner shaft extending proximally from the outer shaft. The proximal end is configured to be rotated such that rotation of the inner shaft results in simultaneous rotation of the inner and outer shafts, with rotation of the outer shaft ceasing at a first value of resistance associated with the proximal adjustment assembly and rotation of the inner shaft ceasing at a second value of resistance associated with the distal adjustment assembly such that cessation of rotation of the inner shaft is independent from cessation of rotation of the outer shaft.

  • Publication number: 20230242972
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved capacitive bead sensor for detection and/or quantification of target analytes in a sample, with a detection limit down to single-beads, which is re-usable for multiple bead tests, or for a continuous flow of beads, and which is easily manufacturable and automatable. It enables sensitivity down to single molecule detection without the need for enzymatic amplification such as PCR, by use of various structural advantages and electronic signal amplification techniques that further allow for multiplex target detection not only across various nucleic acid targets but across entire target classes allowing for simultaneous detection of viral nucleic acids and host antibodies to that virus for example.
