Abstract: Systems and methods for a transportation management system provide for: generating a user interface to receive a user query related to vehicle transportation; utilizing an artificial intelligence (AI) system to pre-process the user query to generate a preprocessed user query; accessing, based on the preprocessed user query, transportation data relevant to answering the user query; determining an automated answer to the user query based on the transportation data; transforming the automated answer into a response to the user query; and updating the user interface to include the response to the user query.

Abstract: Provided are systems, devices, kits, and methods that are used for antimicrobial sensitivity testing (AST). The systems, devices, kits, and methods provide a capillary-based antimicrobial susceptibility testing platform referred to as “cAST” that provides faster determination of antimicrobial susceptibility using lower sample volumes than previous approaches. The cAST approach includes performing AST by measuring colorimetric or fluorescent signal changes in samples in conduits that contain antimicrobial agents and one or more dyes. The conduits are operably linked to a light source and a light detecting component through a mount configured to hold the conduits and thereby determine changes in light that indicates changes in bacteria growth in the present of the antimicrobial agents.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, devices, systems, and methods for use in the magnetic separation of biological entities from fluid samples. This device includes a magnetic separation chamber configured to receive a fluid sample for magnetic separation, where the magnetic separation chamber includes at least two magnets mounted on the surface or in the wall of the magnetic separation chamber. The device also includes a force provider configured to move the magnetic separation chamber in a side-to-side motion to mix and/or magnetize the fluid sample. In one embodiment, the magnetic separation chamber is in a form of a sleeve and comprises a substantially central channel for loading a vessel containing the fluid sample therein. The systems and methods of the present disclosure involve the use of this device to separate biological entities from fluid samples.

Abstract: A polymer coating/ring is employed to aid in the sealing and connection of modular elements used in body flow lumens for the exclusion and bypass of diseased regions of the flow lumen, such as where aneurysm occurs adjacent to branching blood vessels.

Abstract: A system may receive, via an input field on a chat interface of a computing device, a user query. A system may retrieve, from a vector database, a private data portion that is responsive to the user query. A system may transmit a prompt to a large language model, where the prompt includes the user query and the private data portion. A system may receive, from the large language model, a model response with textual data that responds to the user query, where the textual data is generated by the large language model using the private data portion. A system may initiate display of the model response in the chat interface.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improved methods, techniques, and systems to compute relevant and useful information that may be presented to users in an understandable, intuitive, and actionable platform. The interactive platform includes a format and visualization that is capable of presenting data for a wide range of protocols and topologies at various functional layers of the network. The interactive platform provides selectable categories of filters which update the network data and views displayed to the users to aid in the analysis and investigation of potential root causes of problems, rather than merely presenting examples of symptoms. The interactive platform includes a method and visualization that is capable of presenting differences in network behavior at various functional layers of the network.

Abstract: A system for characterizing at least one particle from a fluid sample is disclosed.

A system for characterizing at least one particle using bright field illumination is also disclosed. A method for characterizing particulates in a fluid sample using at least one of oblique angle and bright field illumination is also disclosed.

Abstract: A sample testing chip includes a first layer formed of a porous hydrophilic material. One or more hydrophobic barriers are located in the first layer to define one or more testing areas configured to receive a volume of a sample and one or more auxiliary areas. The one or more testing areas and the one or more auxiliary areas are separated from one another by the hydrophobic barrier and are not fluidically connected. Methods of fabrication and use of the sample testing chip are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a high resolution intravascular ultrasound imaging system including a catheter with a rotatable imaging assembly and an image processor. The image processor in turn features a pulser configured to energize the ultrasound transducer of the rotatable imaging assembly with a multi-frequency ultrasound waveform signal. The image processor further contains a receiver configured to decompose received ultrasound energy as reflected by the target vessel into a plurality of individual subband signals, individually process these signals and reconstitute these signals into a high resolution image of the blood vessel. The IVUS system of the invention may be useful in characterizing cap thickness of vulnerable plaques or other detailed studies of blood vessels.

Abstract: A diagnostic assay strip includes a first layer that includes an iron mobile labelled specific binding partner that will bind to and iron biomarker from a sample and produce an iron complex and a vitamin A mobile labelled specific binding partner that will bind to a vitamin A biomarker from the sample and produce a vitamin A complex. A second layer includes iron and vitamin A test regions, and a control region. The iron test region has immobilized specific binding partners that will bind to the iron complex. The vitamin A test region has immobilized vitamin A biomarker that will bind to vitamin A mobile labelled specific binding partner, which is not bound to the vitamin A biomarker, passing from the first layer to the second layer. The control region has a moiety which will non-specifically bind to and immobilize the iron and vitamin A labelled specific binding partners. Methods of using the diagnostic assay strip are also discussed.
