  • Publication number: 20240203558
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an objective sleep score associated with a user. The method also includes presenting a subjective sleep prompt. The method also includes receiving, via a user input device, a subjective sleep score. The method also includes comparing the objective sleep score with subjective sleep score. The method also includes determining, based on the comparison of the objective sleep score and the subjective sleep score, that the subjective sleep score does not correspond to the objective sleep score. The method also includes presenting one or more additional prompts, wherein the one or more additional prompts are associated with sleep quality factors. The method also includes receiving responses to the one or more additional prompts. The method also includes determining, based on the responses to the one or more additional prompts, a sleep recommendation for the user. The method also includes presenting the sleep recommendation to the user.

  • Publication number: 20210346441
    Abstract: There is described herein a non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle that lacks the ability to spread between cells while having tropism against immortalized cells. The non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle may have cytolytic tropism against immortalized cells. There is also described a non-replicating Rhabdovirus-derived particle that lacks the ability to spread between cells but has innate and/or adaptive immune-stimulating properties.

  • Patent number: 9623096
    Abstract: An immunogenic formulation for a patient, the formulation includes virus-modulated hematopoietic cancer cells, where the modulated hematopoietic cancer cells are generated from viable hematopoietic cancer cells obtained from the patient, either isolated or in a mixed hematopoietic population of healthy and cancer cells, and where the viable hematopoietic cancer cells are infected ex vivo with a virus that modulates the expression of a plurality of endogenous immune regulatory molecules to increase the immunogenicity of the hematopoietic cancer cells.

  • Publication number: 20120195356
    Abstract: A video coding system and method that dynamically controls coding parameters to satisfy a resource usage requirement. A resource controller may set parameters or parameter thresholds to change the coding complexity of the video coding system and to effectuate a change in the resource usage rate. Parameters may include the frame rate, the frame resolution, the bit rate, or pixel block sizes. A parameter or parameter threshold adjustment may be based on system resource data, for example, power consumption, CPU usage, fan speed, battery status, input video statistics, coding latency, and other video encoder internal states.

  • Publication number: 20050012344
    Abstract: A latch assembly for moving a latching pin a vertical distance between a latch position and an unlatch position. A rotatable handle defines a plane of rotation when rotated about an axis of rotation and a latching pin is connected to the rotatable handle. The central axis of the latching pin is perpendicular to the plane of rotation and coincident with the axis of rotation. A latching pin guide member engages and guides the latching pin along the central axis in response to rotation of the handle.
