Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience (UX) tests. In some embodiments, a system receives input defining or modifying a theme schema for classifying results of user experience tests. Responsive to receiving the input, the system trains a themer model based at least in part on example classifications in a training dataset, where the classifications map results to themes within the theme schema. When a new set of results for a user experience test is received, the trained machine learning model may generate a set of predicted themes to classify the test results. The output of the model may be used to render user interfaces and/or trigger other actions directed to optimizing a product's design.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience (UX) tests. In some embodiments, a system identifies a set of expectation elements associated with one or more UX tests. An expectation element may specify, using unstructured data that does not conform to a schema, an expectation for a user experience and a respective outcome for the user experience. A themer model may generate predictions that map the respective expectation elements to a theme from a theme schema, which may include a plurality of themes. A selector model may generate selection scores for the expectation elements. The predicted themes and selection scores may be used to render user interfaces and/or trigger other actions directed to optimizing a product's design.

Abstract: Antibody molecule-drug conjugates (ADCs) that specifically bind to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are disclosed. The antibody molecule-drug conjugates can be used to treat, prevent, and/or diagnose bacterial infections and related disorders.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer program for determining the optimum diet of an animal, determining what nutritional deficiencies exist in that diet, and formulating a supplement to correct those deficiencies. It allows the creation of a nutritionally complete and balanced diet with a sufficient but not excessive quantity of water, energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and vitamin-like nutrients. The specific compositions of supplements generated using the computer program are also claimed.

Abstract: A sensing device mounting mechanism, and related method of operating such a mechanism, are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the mechanism can include a housing that is mountable to a support structure. The housing can define an interior for receiving and supporting a sensing device. The mechanism further includes light pipe device coupled to the housing. The light pipe device can be used to communicate light from a light source to the sensing device, or from the sensing device to a location exterior of the housing such that it can be viewed, detected or received by an operator or other device. Advantageously, the sensing device mounting mechanism is constructed so as to enhance and facilitate, as opposed to interfere with, proper performance of the sensing device.
