Abstract: In various embodiments, a design exploration application generates images that represent design alternatives for three-dimensional (3D) objects. The design exploration application generates a keyword prompt based on design intent text that describes a 3D object. The design exploration application executes a first machine learning model on the keyword prompt to generate a first set of keywords. The design exploration application generates a rephrase prompt based on a second set of keywords that includes at least one keyword from the first set of keywords. The design exploration application executes the first machine learning model on the rephrase prompt to generate a final text prompt. The design exploration application executes a second machine learning model on the final text prompt to generate a set of images.

Abstract: A memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises laterally-spaced memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers. Operative channel-material strings of memory cells extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers. The operative channel-material strings in the laterally-spaced memory blocks comprise part of a memory plane. An elevationally-extending wall is in the memory plane laterally-between immediately-laterally-adjacent of the memory blocks and that completely encircles an island that is laterally-between immediately-laterally-adjacent of the memory blocks in the memory plane. Other embodiments, including method are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides methods, kits, and related compositions for rapid, low-cost, point of care detection of an organism, such as a virus or bacteria, in a biological or environmental sample using isothermal nucleic acid amplification.

Abstract: The present Specification is directed to the heterogeneous integration of compound-semiconductor devices on indirect-bandgap material substrates. A chip comprising compound-semiconductor layer stack disposed on a handle substrate of germanium is bonded, stack-side down, to a silicon layer disposed on a host substrate. The use of a germanium handle substrate enables the handle substrate to be removed after bonding using methods that are highly selective for germanium over the compound semiconductor layer stack. As a result, the compound-semiconductor layer stack does not need to be protected during handle substrate removal and the handle substrate can be completely removed without causing damage to the compound-semiconductor layer stack. As a result, after handle-substrate removal, the materials of the layer stack can be processed further to define one or more optically active devices in conventional fashion.

Abstract: A charging case for charging and storing a pair of earbuds is provided. The charging case comprises: a case body having an upper section and a lower section, the lower section housing at least a battery and a PCB, the upper section having a pair of sockets to accommodate the pair of earbuds, respectively; and a USB cable comprising a distal end portion including a USB connector, a cable body housing electrical wires coupled to the USB connector, and a proximal end portion non-removably attached to the case body. The electrical wires are guided through the housing wall into an inner space of the case body where end portions of the electrical wires are soldered onto the PCB. A recessed area is formed on the exterior surface of the case body to accommodate the attached USB cable while not in use.

Abstract: Cable assemblies include at least a first wire and a second wire. The wires are enclosed, using injection molding, by a respective layer of thermo-resistant material. During the injection molding, the first wire and second wire are kept substantially straight so as to avoid kinks in at least one of the first wire and the second wire that can develop subsequent to the molding if a wire is not substantially straight. The tension associated with the first wire and the second wire is kept within a predetermined range or below a predetermined threshold. The predetermined range/threshold depends on a temperature associated with the injection molding. The injection molding can provide a zip structure over the wires such that the zip structure can be zipped-together and zipped-apart to prevent entanglement of the wires when used by a user.

Abstract: An electrical wire assembly is described that has a first audio electrical wire and a second audio electrical wire. These audio electrical wires can be encapsulated by a thermo-resistant material. The thermo-resistant material encapsulating the first audio electrical wire can encapsulate a ridge, and the thermo-resistant material encapsulating the second audio electrical wire can encapsulate a groove. A slider can be configured to slide along at least a portion of lengths of the first audio electrical wire and the second audio electrical wire to releasably attach the ridge and the groove. A jack can be connected to one end of the audio electrical wires. The jack can be configured to connect to an audio producing device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for searching clinical terminology databases, and more specifically systems and methods for searching structured terminology databases that possess structures for terminology synonyms and semantic parent concept relationships—such as the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine—Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) data standard—are provided. This involves interfacing with the database using an application program interface to enable communication between the database and a search module, and searching the database using the search module to generate an ordered list of database records by defining a search string, retrieving database records from the database by matching terms associated with concepts in the database to the search string, and retrieving the database records for the concepts associated with the matched terms. The retrieved results can be ordering based upon a relevancy criterion.
