Abstract: A multi-tenant sidecar application is created that allows entities to create contexts for each tenant, onboard users, assign users to contexts, and define roles and permissions for each user assigned to a context. When an application is onboarded into the sidecar application for an entity, an API is exposed to the application that allows it to receive details on the various users, contexts, and roles and permissions associated with the application. Only users who authenticate through an identity provider or an identity service provider may be allowed access to the API. Later, a user associated with the entity may use the sidecar application to log into an onboarded application and the application may retrieve the roles and contexts associated with the user for the entity using the API. The application may then be configured for the user according to the retrieved context and roles.

Abstract: There are indicators, and associated management systems and methods using said indicators, particularly, though not necessarily exclusively, for use in medical sterilisation applications. The indicators have a planar strip-like body with indicator machine-readable information provided thereon. Advantageously, the indicator machine-readable information is obscured from being read by a suitable reader device until the indicator, or a portion thereof comprising the indicator machine-readable information, is exposed to predetermined sterilisation condition/s thereby evidencing exposure to said sterilisation conditions.

Abstract: A method of managing battery performance may include obtaining, via a measurement device, measurements of one or more parameters relating to one or more cells; generating or updating, based on the measurements, a machine learning model; and generating, using the machine learning model, cell performance prediction data for use in managing at least one cell. Each cell includes a cathode, a separator, and a silicon-dominant anode. The measurements of the one or more parameters correspond to a plurality of different types of data. The measurements include one or more of: measurements of cells or cell components before formation or cycling, measurements from formation cycles for one or more cells, measurements from a number of cycles after formation for one or more cells, and measurements of characteristics of cell components prior to cell assembly.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for exponential amplification of nucleic acid's fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) signal with high sensitivity and specificity. The present method thereby allows for FISH to be used in high-throughput screening methods and diagnostics. In one aspect, the invention comprises designing a primary click-amplifying FISH (clampFISH) probe for binding to a target sequence.

Abstract: A processor includes a first processing pipeline, a second processing pipeline and a memory management that allocates memory regions from memory for the first processing pipeline to write the data of each of a first of a sequence of tasks, and deallocates each of the memory regions after the data therein has been processed by the second processing pipeline. A blocking circuit enables the second processing pipeline to start processing a second sequence of tasks while the memory management circuit is still deallocating some of the memory regions allocated to the data portions of the first of said sequence of tasks, the blocking circuit preventing identifiers of the data portions of the second task being passed to the memory management circuit until the memory management circuit indicates that it has completed deallocating the memory regions allocated to all the data portions of the first task.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to generating a list of data fields referenceable at a point in a graph (there are different lists for each point). This list may be used as part of programming a dataflow graph to select data (e.g., at an input node of a component to select data processed in that component). One aspect relates to display of the list of data fields, because some of the data field names may be overloaded. Accordingly, the data fields may be presented hierarchically if necessary, showing the source for each overloaded data field name. Otherwise, the user may select whether the list of referenceable fields is grouped by source.

Abstract: Methods include treating a portion of a sample composition to be tested for presence of an analyte by depleting or blocking the target analyte. The treated composition may be used to equilibrate an acoustic wave sensor prior to exposing the sensor to the untreated sample composition for analysis. By using the treated sample composition, in which the analyte is depleted or blocked, to equilibrate the sensor, the sensor may be equilibrated with a composition having a similar viscosity and non-specific binding characteristics to the untreated sample composition, which should result in improved accuracy when analyzing the analyte in the untreated sample composition.
