Abstract: Descried herein are platforms for generating extracellular vesicles. Described herein are compositions of extracellular vesicles. Also described herein are methods of using the extracellular vesicles for therapeutics delivery.

Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented to provide supplemental cooling air for a portable information handling system from one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned at multiple different locations relative to a portable information handling system, such as notebook computer or laptop computer. In one example, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to have one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned to align with differing geometries of cooling air inlet opening locations that correspond to different portable information handling system sizes and/or designs.

Abstract: Described herein are IC devices that include molybdenum or a molybdenum compound, such as compounds including oxygen or nitrogen. The molybdenum may be deposited at a high concentration, e.g., at least 50% atomic density. Also described herein are mid-valent molybdenum precursors for depositing molybdenum, and reactions for producing the mid-valent molybdenum precursors. For example, the molybdenum precursors may be generated by reacting a higher-valent molybdenum compound with an amidinate or a formamidinate.

Abstract: A synchronised soundtrack for an audiobook. The soundtrack has a soundtrack timeline having one or more audio regions that are configured for synchronised playback with corresponding narration regions in the audiobook playback timeline. Each audio region having a position along the soundtrack timeline that is dynamically adjustable to maintain synchronization of the audio regions of the soundtrack with their respective narration regions in the audiobook based on a narration speed variable indicative of the playback narration speed of the audiobook.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are rare-earth materials, structures, and methods for integrated circuit (IC) structures. For example, in some embodiments, a precursor for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of a rare-earth material in an IC structure may include a rare-earth element and a pincer ligand bonded to the rare-earth element.

Abstract: A physical cryptocurrency may comprise a physical medium and an attached processor. The processor may generate a public-private key pair, or the public-private key pair may be generated in a secure and auditable manner external to the processor and stored on the processor. The private key may enable execution of a smart contract on a blockchain to transfer an asset from a starting address to a destination address on the blockchain.

Abstract: A method of automatically generating a digital soundtrack intended for synchronised playback with associated speech audio, the method executed by a processing device or devices having associated memory. The method comprises syntactically and/or semantically analysing text representing or corresponding to the speech audio at a text segment level to generate an emotional profile for each text segment in the context of a continuous emotion model. The method further comprises generating a soundtrack for the speech audio comprising one or more audio regions that are configured or selected for playback during corresponding speech regions of the speech audio, and wherein the audio configured for playback in the audio regions is based on or a function of the emotional profile of one or more of the text segments within the respective speech regions.

Abstract: In part, the disclosure relates to an imaging system that includes a control system; image sensors in electrical communication with the control system, the one or more image sensors support data collection relative to a first pixel subwindow; and an optical assembly, the optical assembly oriented to receive light from the target and direct the light to the image sensor; wherein the optical assembly has an imaging focal volume within the imaging environment that spans a range of focus. The timing system is in electrical communication with the one or more image sensors, an illumination system and a translation assembly. A translation assembly may move target in imaging environment. The timing systems triggers illumination system to illuminate the target and the one or more sensors to image the target when image sensor pixel values in the first pixel subwindow align with at least a portion of the target.

Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented using an external cooling dock that is configured to provide supplemental cooling to a portable information handling system by blowing sub-ambient temperature air into one or more existing external air intake-vents of the chassis of the portable information handling system. The external cooling dock may be further configured to electronically dock or otherwise mate in bidirectional signal communication with the portable information handing system to allow the cooling dock processing device to operate cooperatively in a closed loop with the internal processing device/s of the portable information handling system so as to control operation of the cooling dock components and/or the operation of the processing devices within the portable information handling system.
