Abstract: Video messaging systems and methods utilize a video messaging component based on a video messaging component container stored in a data store. The video messaging component container includes a collaborative video list that shows a list of video content generated by users of the video messaging component. Iterations of the video messaging component are rendered in host applications on client devices. As video content is generated by the iterations, the collaborative video list is updated to include the video content, and the iterations of the video messaging component are updated to reflect changes to the collaborative video list in real-time.

Abstract: A storytelling interface comprising a map panel and a genealogy panel, and methods for using the same, are described. The storytelling interface facilitates dynamic and automatic scaling and relocation of the map panel based on a user's location within the genealogy panel, which facilitates a continuous scrolling operation to navigate between different sections of the genealogy panel. The storytelling interface facilitates a user receiving, viewing, and interacting with DNA and ethnic communities results determined from DNA testing, and allows a user to navigate through pertinent communities in both time and/or space.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to lab-on-chip diagnostic platforms, and in particular, relates to detection of extracellular vesicle biomarkers using lab-on-a-chip diagnostics. The properties of extracellular vesicles provide the opportunity for early detection of biomarkers corresponding to early disease. Combinatorial detection of the presence of multiple cancer-associated biomarkers from extracellular vesicles along with analysis with advanced machine learning algorithms, may be useful for sensitive and specific diagnosis of early cancer and other diseases from biological fluids. Disclosed herein are compositions, methods, and exosome detection apparatus for biomarker detection.

Abstract: An ultrasound catheter includes a distal port and a proximal port and is adapted to provide fluid communication between the distal port and the proximal port. The ultrasound catheter includes an ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound catheter may be advanced through a guide catheter that is positioned within a patient's vasculature and is fluidly coupled with the patient's blood. A vacuum may be applied to the proximal port, causing the patient's blood to be slowly pulled into the ultrasound catheter through the distal port such that any air near the ultrasound transducer is replaced with the patient's blood and the ultrasound transducer is surrounded by the patient's blood, which is an optimal imaging medium. The ultrasound transducer may be operated to obtain ultrasound images while applying the vacuum to the proximal port.

Abstract: A cover extension can be installed above or below a wall-mounted electrical panel (e.g., a circuit breaker panel) to cover an opening in the wall immediately above or below the panel. The cover extension includes a panel member, a bottom flange, and two top couplings and stop members. The flange extends downwards from the panel member bottom and is offset from the panel member so that it can fit behind the panel cover of the electrical panel to secure the cover extension bottom to the panel cover. The mechanical stops (e.g., brackets) are located on the panel member rear face and configured to each cause the respective coupling member on the panel member rear face to engage the cover extension to secure the cover extension top to the wall.

Abstract: Disclosed is a configuration for determining a genotyping label composition of a target individual using direct acyclic paths. The configuration includes receiving a phased genotype of the target individual, including a first haplotype and a second haplotype. The configuration initiates a full-ethnicity hidden Markov model (HMM) including nodes with a set of ethnicity labels. The first haplotype is input to determine a first subset of ethnicity labels that match the first haplotype. The second haplotype is input to determine a second subset of ethnicity labels that match the second haplotype. The first and second subsets of ethnicity labels are combined to create a candidate subset of ethnicity labels for the target individual. The configuration initiates a simplified HMM with nodes from the candidate subset of ethnicity labels. The phased genotype of the target individual is input to the simplified HMM to determine genotyping label composition of the target individual.
