  • Patent number: 10752407
    Abstract: A system and method for storing, shipping, and displaying produce in a box which has a tamper-evident closure. The box may be formed of folded cardboard and a transparent plastic lid which engages top edges of the box. The lid has a plurality of tabs around its periphery that may be bent and inserted into slots or notches formed in the box edges, and then expand to a larger relaxed size. The slots or notches have perforated lines enabling the lid to be ripped upward to open the box, thus indicating that the container has been tampered with.

  • Publication number: 20200160937
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for obtaining data defining a sequence for an aptamer, the aptamer comprising a string of nucleobases; encoding the data defining the sequence for the aptamer as a neural network input; and processing the neural network input using a neural network to generate an output that characterizes how strongly the aptamer binds to a particular target molecule, wherein the neural network has been configured through training to receive the data defining the sequence and to process the data to generate predicted outputs that characterize how strongly the aptamer binds to the particular target molecule.

  • Publication number: 20200127166
    Abstract: Described herein are methods for growing light emitting devices under ultra-violet (UV) illumination. A method includes growing a III-nitride n-type layer over a III-nitride p-type layer under UV illumination. Another method includes growing a light emitting device structure on a growth substrate and growing a tunnel junction on the light emitting device structure, where certain layers are grown under UV illumination. Another method includes forming a III-nitride tunnel junction n-type layer over the III-nitride p-type layer to form a tunnel junction light emitting diode. A surface of the III-nitride tunnel junction n-type layer is done under illumination during an initial period and a remainder of the formation is completed absent illumination. The UV light has photon energy higher than the III-nitride p-type layer's band gap energy. The UV illumination inhibits formation of Mg—H complexes within the III-nitride p-type layer resulting from hydrogen present in a deposition chamber.

  • Patent number: 10552220
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide systems and methods that ascertain appropriate time windows for when a task or tasks are best suited to be performed and also for appropriately sizing the number of tasks so that they can be completed within a window or windows. In embodiments, a system for estimating a system resource comprises a component selection system configured to receive a selection of one or more components and/or one or more metrics to be monitored. In embodiments, an analyzer uses at least some of the gathered data to determine one or more resource capacity windows for performing a task or tasks and determines an appropriate job size or sizes for scheduling the tasks to be performed within the one or more resource capacity windows.
