Abstract: Disclosed herein are non-myeloablative antibody-toxin conjugates and compositions that target cell surface markers, such as the CD34, CD45 or CD117 receptors, and related methods of their use to effectively conditioning a subject's tissues (e.g., bone marrow tissue) prior to engraftment or transplant. The compositions and methods disclosed herein may be used to condition a subject's tissues in advance of, for example, hematopoietic stem cell transplant and advantageously such compositions and methods do not cause the toxicities that are commonly associated with traditional conditioning methods.

Abstract: A valved conduit including a bioprosthetic aortic heart valve connected to a tubular conduit graft forming an ascending aorta. The conduit graft may attach to the heart valve in a manner that facilitates a redo operation in which the valve is replaced with another valve. A sewing ring may be pre-attached to the inflow end of the graft, and then the valve connected to a delivery holder advanced into the graft and secured to the sewing ring. Dry bioprosthetic valves coupled with conduit grafts sealed with a bioresorbable medium can be stored with the delivery holder.

A well region of a second conductivity type is in the semiconductor region. A doped region of the first conductivity type is in the well region. A doped region of the second conductivity type is in the well region. A doped region of the second conductivity type is in the semiconductor substrate at a bottom side. A doped region of the first conductivity type is in the semiconductor substrate at the bottom side. A first conductor is at a top side of the semiconductor region and a second conductor is at the bottom side. In some examples, one or more of doped regions at the bottom side is a patterned doped region.

Abstract: A vehicle auction facility has a plurality of turntables on which vehicles may be displayed for auction. Each turntable is associated with at least one doorway through which a line of vehicles may drive onto and off the turntable one at a time. Once a vehicle is driven onto the turntable, the turntable may rotate the vehicle as it is being auctioned. Such rotation may position the vehicle for exiting the facility through the same doorway in which it entered while the next vehicle in the same line of vehicles is being driven to the turntable. Thus, vehicles can be quickly showcased and auctioned while avoiding many safety concerns and collision risks. In addition, the plurality of turntables can be arranged in a curved fashion so that bidders in a central area of the facility can clearly see several vehicles being auctioned at the same time.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to credit media segments shared among multiple media assets are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include comparing a sequence of monitored media signatures with a library of reference signatures to determine a signature match, the monitored media signatures representative of a monitored media presentation. Disclosed example methods also include determining duration and offset of the signature match, the offset to represent a position of the signature match relative to a start of a reference media asset associated with the signature match. Disclosed example methods further include crediting a segment of the monitored media presentation represented by the signature match to an identifier of a class of media assets including the reference media asset in response to a determination that (i) the duration of the signature match does not exceed a first threshold and (ii) the offset does not exceed a second threshold.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve for implant in a human. The valve includes a wireform with undulating inflow cusps and outflow commissure posts to which flexible leaflets attach and coapt in a flow area. Each leaflet may drape over the top of the wireform in the cusp area, but have tabs that each extend underneath the wireform at the commissure posts to be secured along with a tab of an adjacent leaflet. The prosthetic heart valve may also be a dual-wire wireform, with the leaflets sandwiched therebetween. One wireform may be larger than the other, with the leaflets extending over the smaller wireform. The smaller wireform may have commissures that bend radially outward from the larger wireform to provide structure to which the leaflet tabs attach.

Abstract: A system comprises a dongle and a diagnostic tool. The dongle includes a vehicle communication transceiver (VCT), a first wireless transceiver, and a vehicle connector. The diagnostic tool includes a processor, a proximity sensing component, an output device, and a second wireless transceiver. The proximity sensing component outputs an output signal. The processor receives the output signal and make a determination that indicates whether the output signal indicates an object is in spatial proximity to the proximity sensing component. The processor outputs using the output device a notification based on the determination. The VCT performs a vehicle communication directly with a vehicle while the vehicle connector is connected to an on-board diagnostic connector (OBDC) of the vehicle. The first and second wireless transceivers communicates with each other to trigger a vehicle communication from the dongle to the vehicle while the vehicle connector is connected to the OBDC.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, for a UE beam refinement procedure, a reference signal via a first network node beam. The UE may receive, based at least in part on the UE beam refinement procedure, an indication of a switch to the first network node beam from a second network node beam. Numerous other aspects are described.

In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel co-surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

Abstract: In some embodiments, systems and methods provide, support, or implement an ecosystem for non-fungible token (NFT)-gated communities that are built and run by their members, as opposed to a social media platform provider. Each member of a community has or is assigned her/his/their own token, which grants access and rights to that member. The members, with their respective tokens, own and control their communities. Other embodiments are provided for generating or minting the tokens using, e.g., a neural network, and generating and transmitting one or more electronic invitations with hyperlinks to invite users to join an NFT-gated community as members.

Abstract: A transport vehicle has a front chassis section and a rear chassis section supported on respective steerable bogie frames with longitudinal and lateral suspension stabilizers. A recessed central chassis section between the front and rear sections supports a power source for powering drive motors on the bogie frames. A load supporting surface spans a full length of the vehicle over the front and rear bogie frames and the recessed power source therebetween. A controller autonomously controls the drive motors and the steering of the bogies to autonomously drive and steer the transport vehicle along a prescribed transport route stored on the autonomous controller, while supporting cargo ton the load supporting surface that can span the length of the vehicle or longer. Locating the wheels and power source within the footprint of the load supporting surface, allows the overall size of the vehicle to be minimized to improve transport economy.
