Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored instructions that may cause the processor to determine that a user is within a predefined time period prior to a printing device item being scheduled for automatic shipment to the user. The processor may also determine whether a notice condition has been triggered, in which the notice condition is based on a geolocation of the user and/or historical travel information of the user with respect to a facility at which the printing device item is available. In addition, based on a determination that the notice condition has been triggered and while the user is within the predefined time period, the processor may output a message to the user that the printing device item is available for the user to obtain from the facility.

Abstract: A method includes storing a test database of tests and corresponding test rules, storing a user information database, storing a profile database, and storing a threshold database including thresholds corresponding to test scores and similarity scores. The method includes, in response to receiving interaction parameters of an interaction performed by a user, identifying a set of tests based on the interaction parameters. The method includes, for each of the set of tests: calculating a score using user data of the user, corresponding test rules, and the interaction parameters; adjusting the score based on the user's profile; obtaining a threshold corresponding to the identified test; and, in response to the score exceeding the threshold, categorizing the interaction within a first category. The method also includes generating and transmitting an alert in response to the interaction being categorized within the first category.

Abstract: This application relates to recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) packaging and/or producer cell lines which have been engineered to reduce expression and/or activity of one or more genes and/or proteins to increase rAAV titers. The methods of generating the engineered cell lines have also been described herein.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for neuromonitoring, particularly neuromonitoring to reduce the risks of contacting or damaging nerves or causing patient discomfort during and after surgical procedures, including spinal surgeries. The neuromonitoring procedures include monitoring for the presence of or damage to sensory nerves, and optionally includes additional monitoring for motor nerves. In some systems, including systems that monitor for both sensory and motor nerves, components of the monitoring systems (e.g., stimulating electrodes and response sensors), may be combined with one or more surgical instruments. The systems, devices, and methods provide for pre-surgical assessment of neural anatomy and surgical planning, intraoperative monitoring of nerve condition, and post-operative assessment of nerve position and health.

Abstract: Techniques that separate the heat generation from the active device and that add a thermal heat shield layer between the heat generation and the active device to reduce the channel temperature in the areas that determine the reliability of a semiconductor device.

Abstract: An articulating chair and a method of using same, include at least one actuator, a programmable controller, and movable upper back, lower back and seat bottom sections. In another aspect, an articulating wheelchair and a method of using same, include a seat bottom section, a lower frame to which the seat bottom section is coupled, floor-contacting wheels rotatably coupled to the lower frame, an upper back section, a lower back section, a back frame to which the upper back section and the lower back section are movably coupled, electromagnetic actuators coupled to the back sections, a battery mounted to at least one of the frames, and a programmable controller connected to the actuators and the battery.

Abstract: Cleave systems for cleaving a semiconductor structure are disclosed. The cleave systems may include a cleave arm that is moveable from a starting position to a raised position in which a cleave stress is applied to the semiconductor structure. Spring members store energy as the cleave arm is raised with the stored spring energy causing the structure to cleave into two pieces upon initiation of the cleave across the structure.
