Abstract: A fixture for removably securing a plurality of components includes a hollow body including a plurality of channels and a plurality of sets of holes. The fixture further includes a plurality of hollow wedges and a plurality of sets of balls. Upon an axial movement of an elongate member in a first direction, the elongate member axially moves a first hollow wedge, thereby causing one or more elastic members to be sequentially compressed and move the subsequent hollow wedges. Upon the axial movement, a frustoconical surface portion of each hollow wedge moves the corresponding set of balls radially outwards within the corresponding set of holes, such that each ball extends partially into the corresponding channel, thereby moving the corresponding component into locking engagement with the corresponding channel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding molecules, such as T cell receptors (TCRs), that bind the HLA-A*02 restricted peptide KVLEYVIKV (SEQ ID NO: 1) derived from the germline cancer antigen MAGEA1. The specific binding molecules may comprise non-natural mutations within the alpha and/or beta variable domains relative to a native MAGEA1 TCR. The specific binding molecules of the invention are particularly suitable for use as novel immunotherapeutic reagents for the treatment of malignant disease.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and apparatuses to test production tools and related electrical components therefor including individual printed-circuit boards (PCBs). In one example, a test-plug hardware-platform includes at least one input/output (I/O) connector, and a configurable control system to provide command and operational signals through the I/O connector and collect data through the I/O connector from at least one PCB under test. A wireless-mesh network within the test-plug hardware-platform can interface wirelessly with at least the PCB under test. The at least one PCB operating within a production tool or other piece of equipment. Other methods and systems are disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes embedding natural language processing (NLP) and/or user action capture into a browser to monitor a user's intent when navigating web page(s) within the browser. An indication of a navigation to a first web page via the browser is received and it is determined whether a first action attempted to be taken on the first web page matches the user's intent. In response to a determination that the first action attempted to be taken on the first web page does not match the user's intent, an intent-based blocking action is issued to prevent the first action on the first web page. A computer program product according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

Abstract: A vehicle component balancing robot apparatus, system and method for on vehicle balancing of one or more of a tire, a wheel, bearings, brake components, and vehicle components that impart vibrations to the vehicle. The apparatus includes a frame arranged so as to connect with the vehicle. A robot of the apparatus moves relative to the frame, and is configured so that the move, relative to the frame, resolves a predetermined location of a tire-wheel assembly relative to a reference frame of the robot. The robot has at least one end effector arranged to interface the tire-wheel assembly and the robot moves the at least one end effector to other predetermined locations on a wheel rim of the tire-wheel assembly, determined based on resolution of the predetermined location of the tire-wheel assembly relative to the reference frame.

Abstract: Techniques for limiting unwanted comments are described. For example, a social networking system may receive, from a first account of the social networking system, a request to post content. In some examples, the social networking system may further receive an instruction to limit an ability of certain accounts lacking a characteristic from commenting on the first account’s content. In some cases, the social networking system may receive, from a second account. Upon determining that the second account lacks the characteristic, the social networking system may refrain from sharing the comment with one or more additional users.

Abstract: Disclosed is a configuration for determining a genotyping label composition of a target individual using direct acyclic paths. The configuration includes receiving a phased genotype of the target individual, including a first haplotype and a second haplotype. The configuration initiates a full-ethnicity hidden Markov model (HMM) including nodes with a set of ethnicity labels. The first haplotype is input to determine a first subset of ethnicity labels that match the first haplotype. The second haplotype is input to determine a second subset of ethnicity labels that match the second haplotype. The first and second subsets of ethnicity labels are combined to create a candidate subset of ethnicity labels for the target individual. The configuration initiates a simplified HMM with nodes from the candidate subset of ethnicity labels. The phased genotype of the target individual is input to the simplified HMM to determine genotyping label composition of the target individual.
