Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to recombinant RNA molecules encoding an oncolytic virus genome. The present disclosure further relates to the encapsulation of the recombinant RNA molecules and the use of the recombinant RNA molecules and/or particles for the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for compressed fluid vessel monitoring can permit a user to more easily order replacement vessels, monitor use, monitor inventory and return empty vessels. Embodiments can utilize a collar connectable to a vessel to help facilitate such functionality. The collar can be adapted to transmit signals to a data processing system. The data processing system can be adapted to permit a user to track the location and fill status of the vessel as well as order a replacement vessel and disposal or return of an empty vessel. Instrumented vessels can also convey sensor data to help identify a leak condition or other condition of the vessel. In some embodiments, the data processing system can be adapted for integration into a user's inventory system and/or purchasing system as well as a supplier's system to facilitate communications concerning vessel fill status, reorder, and/or vessel return.

Abstract: A client application can be configured to render user interface cards, based on card data provided by a remote card engine. An API Response as Card (ARC) engine can intercept a communication between the client application and the card engine, and determine that the communication is associated with another backend system. The ARC engine can request that the backend system perform an account action associated with a user account. The ARC engine can provide information derived from a response from the backend system, reflecting a result of the account action, to the card engine. The card action can generate card data associated with the result of the account action performed by the backend system, and the client application can use the card data to render and display a corresponding card, even if neither the client application nor the card engine are natively configured to interface with the backend system.

Abstract: Compositions for topical or transdermal use having multiple recombinant human growth factors thereinfor repairing or regenerating human cells, keratinous materials, and/or the extracellular matrix to improve any one of skin surface appearance, cutaneous signs of chronological aging and/or aging signs induced by external factors such as prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) exposure, and/or impaired surface appearance of the skin. The composition includes water, and at least five but no more than twelve recombinant human growth factors selected from sh-Polypeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-11, sh-Polypeptide-31, sh-Oligopeptide-2, sh-Polypeptide-10, sh-Polypeptide-5, sh-Polypeptide-8, sh-Polypeptide-3, sh-Polypeptide-62, Acetyl Octapeptide-17 Amide, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-4, and Acetyl sh-Oligopeptide-77 Amide in which, each growth factor, when present in the composition, is present at a concentration ranging from 0.001 wt % to 1 wt % of the overall composition.

Abstract: An example of a collapsible pylon for a drone aircraft includes a bore extending through a length of a barrel, a first and a second flex-pin bore formed through a wall of the barrel, a first arm slidably positioned within a first end of the bore, a first flex pin disposed on the first arm to engage the first flex-pin bore, a second arm slidably positioned within a second end of the bore, and a second flex pin disposed on the second arm to engage the second flex-pin bore.

Abstract: A disposable system, in some embodiments, includes a multi-channel or multi-chamber test cartridge device configured to operate with a testing system for evaluation of hemostasis in a subject by in vitro evaluation of a test sample from the subject. The disposable system, in some embodiments, is configured to interrogate the test sample to evaluate clot stiffness, strength, or other mechanical properties of the test sample to assess the function of various physiological processes occur during coagulation and/or dissolution of the resulting clot.

Abstract: Solution production devices, systems, and methods. The system includes a base portion configured to receive a vessel containing a liquid. Upon the base portion receiving the vessel, liquid is transferred from the vessel and into the base portion where it undergoes an electrochemical reaction to produce a cleaning solution. The cleaning solution is then circulated back into the vessel.

Abstract: In a general aspect, methods and systems are described for dynamically partitioning and virtualizing a monolithic quantum-classical hybrid computing resource into multiple different and independently-saleable, as a resource to a user, parcels. These parcels may comprise configurations of qubits and qubit-qubit links on one or more quantum processor units for use by users for running computer programs.

Abstract: An electronic device may exchange packets with a second electronic device. These packets may include transmit times, based on a given clock in a given electronic device when the packets were transmitted. Moreover, when the packets are received by the electronic device, the electronic device may store associated receive times based on a clock in the electronic device. Using minimum time differences between the transmit and receive times, the electronic device may calculate a time offset between the electronic device and the second electronic device, which may then be used to determine future times in a clock domain of the second electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device may provide additional packets to the second electronic device, where a given additional packet includes audio data, and a playback time, corresponding to a given future time, when the audio data is to be played back by the second electronic device.
