Abstract: A method of rapidly evaluating the susceptibility of a strain of bacteria to a cell wall synthesis inhibiting antibiotic based on an assessment of cell enlargement in response to doses of the cell wall synthesis inhibiting antibiotic which are correlated to breakpoints of bacterial susceptibility.

Abstract: Methods for generating automations via natural language processing are performed by computing systems. Natural language input is received from a user interface, and an automation workflow is generated based on the natural language input. The automation workflow includes steps to build an automation. One or more of the steps is provided to the user interface, and a first field and a second field that each correspond to the one or more steps are populated in the user interface. The first field is populated with a parameter value based on the natural language input, and the second field is populated based on the parameter value. The automation is then enabled to be built and deployed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent element having a moisture barrier, said element consisting of a sanitary garment in the form of a special diaper for use by people suffering from urinary incontinence, characterised in that it is formed by a normal diaper and a substantially rectangular additional piece that is firmly attached to the normal diaper, wherein one end of the additional piece is positioned close to the genital area that becomes wet, the upper end thereof is positioned close to the end of the normal diaper, and the sides thereof are aligned with the sealing bands of the normal diaper.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described herein for implementing a workflow development system that includes automatic code generation for data transformations. For instance, the workflow development system may provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to add and/or configure one or more workflow steps. At least one workflow step may be configured to perform a transformation or re-formatting of data that may be received from a previous workflow step. The code utilized to perform the transformation or re-formatting may be automatically determined by the workflow development system in accordance with programming-by-example techniques, where a user provides sample input data representative of the data prior to transformation and provides sample output data representative of data post-transformation. The workflow development system learns and/or generates code, that is able to perform the transformation as desired by the user, based on the sample input and output data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the rapid evaluation of bacterial susceptibility or non-susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis. The rationale is to identify bacterial responses that depend or are influenced by protein synthesis. If this response is prevented or reduced by the antibiotic that inhibits the protein synthesis, the bacteria are susceptible to this antibiotic. Otherwise, if the response keeps similar despite the incubation with the antibiotic, the bacteria are not susceptible or resistant to this antibiotic. These responses could be determined at the DNA lev-el, cell wall level, morphological level or any other experimental approach, including metabolic, bio-chemical, physiological or genetic processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the integrity of the cell wall of the bacteria present in a culture in the presence of an antibiotic acting on the bacterial cell wall which, from a practical point of view, allows quickly determining if a bacterium is sensitive or resistant to an antibiotic acting on the bacterial cell wall. Likewise, the present invention also relates to a lysis solution applicable in the preceding method, specifically affecting bacteria having the cell wall damaged by the action of an antibiotic acting on the bacterial cell wall, which allows distinguishing bacteria sensitive to said antibiotic from those resistant to said antibiotic.

Abstract: A positioning device for positioning the saddle of a bicycle that includes a measuring pole and an adaptor positioned at an end of the measuring pole for coupling the end to the pedal crankshaft of the bicycle. The positioning device also includes a positioning assembly with a base that is configured to be supported on the saddle. An articulation assembly couples the base with the measuring pole.
