Abstract: A method for executing a query on a target database against the most recent source data is disclosed. The method comprises maintaining linked—i.e., at least partially synchronized—databases comprising a source and a target database. The method comprises receiving a direct query against a table in the target database, the query comprising a request for using the most recent source data and requesting by the target database from the source database a status about latest data regarding the table. Upon the status indicating that data in the table do not correspond to the most recent data, the method comprises waiting up to a predefined time period for the most recent data of the table to be synchronized from the source database to the target database, and upon the data of the table not being synchronized within the predefined time period, the method comprises issuing a timeout signal.

Abstract: Methods and systems for prompting a large language model (LLM) to generate a revised text passage with formatting are described. A text-editing instruction is received that is related to at least a portion of a text passage having at least one formatting tag. The text passage is processed to identify the at least one formatting tag in the text passage. A prompt to the LLM is generated, to cause the LLM to generate a revised text passage. The prompt includes the text-editing instruction related to at least the portion of the text passage and also includes a formatting-specific instruction to format the revised text passage using the at least one formatting tag in the revised text passage. The revised text passage is received and caused to be displayed based on the formatting tag.

Abstract: A light microscope has a light source for illuminating a specimen, a photon-counting detector array with a plurality of photon-counting detector elements for measuring detection light coming from the specimen, wherein the photon-counting detector elements are configured to output respective measured photon count rates, and a control device for controlling the photon-counting detector array. The control device is configured to individually influence the measurable photon count rates which are simultaneously measurable with different photon-counting detector elements and/or which are consecutively measurable with the same photon-counting detector element. Furthermore, in an imaging method the measurable photon count rates of photon-counting detector elements are individually influenced to increase the signal-to-noise ratio for the photon-counting detector array.

Abstract: A vehicle underbody includes a system of connected unitized underbody components including a front quadrant system having a left front unitized underbody component and a right front unitized underbody component, a center system, and a rear quadrant system having a left rear unitized underbody component and a right rear unitized underbody component. A first rail element is loosely connected to the left front unitized underbody component and the left rear unitized underbody component, and a second rail element is loosely connected to the right front unitized underbody component and the right rear unitized underbody component.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dental method that comprises receiving a selection of a replacement tooth for a subject. The method further comprises receiving one or more three-dimensional digital tooth models descriptive of one or more teeth of the subject. The method further comprises receiving a generated three-dimensional digital model of the replacement tooth in response to inputting the one or more three-dimensional digital tooth models descriptive of one or more teeth of the subject into a tooth model generating neural network. The tooth model generating neural network comprises an encoder portion and a decoder portion. The encoder portion is configured for outputting a collective feature vector descriptive of the one or more digital tooth models. The tooth model generating neural network further comprises at least one fully connected layer configured to output a latent space vector into the decoder portion in response to receiving the collective feature vector.

Abstract: The buttstock assembly uses a modular design including interchangeable end attachments and sling strap connectors. The interchangeable end attachments allow the buttstock to have different toe heights and configurations for different shooting applications. The interchangeable strap connectors allow the use of either quick-disconnect style sling swivels or more traditional fixed strap loops as desired. The buttstock assembly also uses a “trigger” style locking mechanism to selectively position and lock the buttstock along the length of the extension tube to adjust the overall length of pull of the weapon.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for holding portable electronics. The device may include a base, a plurality of legs rotatably connected to the base, and a platform rotatably connected to the base via at least one first hinge. The platform may be configured to receive an electronic device and to pivot about the at least one first hinge between a level position and an inclined position. The device of the present disclosure may further include a retractable grip connected to the platform and configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position outside of the platform. In the extended position, at least one contact of the retractable grip may be configured to provide a bias force to an upper surface of the electronic device, such that at least a portion of the electronic device is disposed between the platform and the at least one contact.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a) orthognathic patient data comprising information representing an initial state of a patient and b) plurality of treatment parameters that are based on a treatment goal for the patient. The method further includes generating an output state of the patient based on the initial state of the patient and the plurality of treatment parameters, calculating an objective function based on the output state of the patient and the treatment goal of the patient, and updating one or more of the treatment parameters based on the objective function.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology provide solutions of simulating patient treatment outcomes and in particular, for estimating treatment parameters that can be optimally modified to achieve a desired treatment outcome.

Abstract: A slide devise for facilitating grasping and pulling a pistol slide rearward during various pistol operations. The slide device facilitates pulling back the pistol slide utilizing relatively little force. The device includes an adaptor and a rack plate interconnected by a sliding dovetail joinery. The adaptor replaces the traditional slide cover plates on conventional striker fired pistols. The rack adaptor has an integral interface shoe, which seats within a complementary channel in the rack plate. The rack plate has a pair of opposed side protrusions or wings that are configured to fit or be engaged by the fingers or hand of the user, so as to allow the user to easily pull the pistol slide rearward.
