  • Patent number: 11928112
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that use a trained process to reply to a request comprising query data defining a query and context data defining contextual factors for the query from a device. The query is answered by one or more selected APIs of a plurality of APIs that invoke respective services to prepare a response. The trained process determines an execution plan responsive to the query data and the context data and is configured using training to define execution plans comprising selected APIs where a particular API is selected for the plan if it answers at least a portion of the query and the selected APIs together prepare the response optimized for the device according to the context data. The plan is provided to an execution component to execute the plan using the selected APIs and send the response to the requesting device.

  • Publication number: 20160184361
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of treating a human patient in need thereof with immune reconstitution therapy by administering a therapeutically effective amount of therapeutic T cell population selected and/or expanded from a mobilised blood sample or a mobilised apheresis sample, wherein selection is on the basis of a steady state marker and/or an activation marker optionally followed by expansion, or expansion is in the presence of antigen, such as a viral antigen. It also extends to methods of generating said therapeutic T cell populations and the product obtainable therefrom.

  • Patent number: 7294094
    Abstract: A lightweight, foldable device for the partial weight bearing during walking and gait training is provided. The lightweight, partial weight bearing suspension walker is made from two frames that are pivotally attached and can be folded at the pivot point for storage or transport. The apparatus can be adjusted to fit over wide treadmills or wheelchairs and through narrow doors. The apparatus includes two fail-safe lift and support devices to insure patient safety in case of unintentional release by the operator.

  • Publication number: 20060051652
    Abstract: An interleave machine for stacking a plurality of generally flat objects and a method for stacking a plurality of generally flat objects and components, steps and/or assemblies of an interleave machine, including but not limited to a Bernoulli pick up and place device and the steps of using the size and shape of a plate to determine the fold (or crease) point of a surrounding separator.

  • Patent number: 4027791
    Abstract: A system for transfer of liquid from a storage vessel to and maintaining at least a minimum level in a receiver or plurality of receivers, using the gas arising from liquid vaporized into the gas space above the liquid in the storage vessel to expel liquid through a valve energized by the gas and responsive to gas-back pressure type probe means utilizing the gas. A clustering manifold device applied as a vessel closure provides a liquid manifold valve for four controller devices valving liquid to respective receivers, and a gas manifold provides gas supply connections for supplying gas at pre-established pressure to energize respective controller devices and associated gas probes.

  • Patent number: 4020690
    Abstract: Liquid level in a vessel of cryogenic liquid or solid-liquid slurry is determined and indicated by sensing, in an immersed tubular probe, a probe-evoked vapor gas pressure counter balancing the hydrostatic head to the probe tip, and displaying an output on an appropriate meter scale or by a digital readout device in level height or other vessel-content terms, and, if desired, activating a low level alarm; the probe as a heat pipe conducting heat, from a source external of the liquid, to the probe bore as far as the tip to volatilize liquid entering the probe tip from which as a sensing gas the gas phase may slowly bubble; a differential pressure sensing device being connected to the probe and to the vessel gas space for a closed vessel.

  • Patent number: 3949484
    Abstract: A multi-limbed manometer system adapted to detect and record the vertical displacement of different parts of a large structure, e.g., the pedestals and cylinders of a steam turbine installation. The datum level of the liquid in the system is adjusted by changing the pressure of a head of liquid connected to the system, for example, by raising and lowering a reservoir of the system or by moving a piston in a cylinder connected to the system. The floats comprise homogeneous structures having a multiplicity of small air-filled compartments, e.g. an epoxy resin containing air-filled hollow glass balls having a diameter of about 150 microns. A float in a reference limb provides a reference signal indicative of the actual liquid level which is compared with a signal indicative of the desired liquid level and a difference signal derived and used to raise and lower the reservoir or move the piston in the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 3938554
    Abstract: A device providing gas-powered logic responsive to a sensor such as a gas discharging type level probe and actuating valving controlling flow of liquid to be dispensed; and adapted to valving either for a volatile, especially cryogenic liquid utilizing the liquid's vapor pressure from a free gas space in a storage vessel top region as a power source both for control function and for the liquid transfer through a valve to a receiver, or with use of a separate gas supply for powering the probe, logic and amplifier, valving which applies liquid transferring pressure to a free gas space of a source vessel or vents the same for liquid transfer cut off, for volatile or non-volatile liquid.
