  • Publication number: 20210080465
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for prognosing Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or monitoring CLL therapy in a subject, by contacting a blood sample from a subject having CLL with one or more tyrosine phosphorylation (pTyr) probes to promote binding of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in the blood sample to the one or more pTyr probes to generate pTyr probe-protein complexes; and detecting an amount of pTyr probe-protein complexes in the blood sample; wherein an amount of pTyr probe-protein complexes in the blood sample is compared to a control to indicate expected progression of CLL, or therapeutic efficacy of CLL therapy in the subject.

  • Publication number: 20190066198
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or apparatus can provide virtual shopping customer support to a virtual reality device and/or an augmented reality device, among others, of a user/customer. In one or more embodiments, a virtual reality environment is displayed via, e.g., augmented reality or virtual reality devices to present an augmented and/or simulated reality substitute for a live person (e.g., an avatar of a person) within one or more user experiences in semantic context with environmental elements, such as shopping, walking down a street, viewing a video, viewing a picture, etc., and wherein the simulated person is configured to illustrate/demonstrate one or more aspects, configurations, and/or features of a user interactive virtual product or augmentation of a physical product. In one or more embodiments, the one or more aspects, configurations, and/or features of the user interactive virtual product or the physical product are associated with the profile of customer.

  • Publication number: 20190012730
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes can provide information to a virtual reality device and/or an augmented reality device, among others, of a user/customer. The information can be associated with offerings of goods and/or services for sale, purchase, or rent. Determining the information can be based on past actions of the user and/or other users. For example, the determined information can be inferred from past actions of the user and/or other users. In one or more embodiments, a layout of a virtual store and/or presentations of one or more items can be based on past actions of the user and/or other users. In one or more embodiments, one or more of the layout of the virtual store and/or providing (e.g., via augmented reality or virtual reality) the information associated with the goods and/or services can be determined and/or chosen to maximize sales and/or profits.

  • Publication number: 20150310142
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a system can simulate one or more physical mobile devices and can allow respective one or more users to utilize respective one or more simulations via a network. For example, a user, utilizing an application such as a web browser, can interact with a simulated mobile device. For instance, the user can select a function of the simulated mobile device, the simulated mobile device can provide, to the user, a simulation of the function, the first user can manipulate the simulated mobile device, and output of the function can be displayed to the user in accordance with the manipulation of the simulated mobile device. In one or more embodiments, the system can determine and display multiple images, of the simulated mobile, device based on multiple directions of a pointer path. For example, the system can determine the directions based on positions acquired at time intervals.

  • Patent number: 5899465
    Abstract: A roller skate of the in-line wheel type where all wheels are mounted for rotation in the normal skating directions has at least one wheel mounted for rotation about an axis perpendicular to the skating directions. An internal brake is provided to progressively retard the rotation about the axis perpendicular to the skating directions to provide a braking mechanism so the skater can stop by executing what is known as a hockey stop.

  • Patent number: 5791665
    Abstract: A roller skate of the in-line wheel type having spherically shaped wheels and wherein the toe and heel wheels are disposed at a higher elevation than the interior wheels. The interior wheels are pivotally mounted so the skater's boot can pivot to maintain either the toe wheel and the interior wheels or the heel wheel and the interior wheels in contact with the skating surface. On turns the interior wheels provide a braking action.
