Abstract: Non-alginate hydrogel microparticles for localized delivery and sustained release of therapeutic cells and/or tissues (including homogenous or heterogenous cell clusters) at a site of implantation. The microparticles comprise a 3-dimensional matrix of covalently crosslinked non-alginate polymer compounds and a therapeutically-effective amount of cells and/or tissue entrapped therein, wherein the cells have a viability of at least about 50%, and wherein the microparticle has a size of greater than about 30 pm. Compositions containing such microparticles and methods of using such microparticles for treatment are also described.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the technology relate to a method and system for storing and reading data from persistent storage. More specifically, embodiments of the technology relate to a method and system for storing data in persistent storage, where the data written to the persistent storage is not immediately accessible in the persistent storage (i.e., during the inaccessibility period). In such instances, embodiments of the technology provide a method and system to enable the storage system to service read requests for the data using a primary cache entry table (PCET) and an overflow table.

Abstract: One or more virtual functions are exposed via a shared communication interface. Memory across said virtual functions is shared to provide a fixed number of I/O buffers shared across said virtual functions. For each of said one or more virtual functions, storing a corresponding map table configured to store a mapping data that maps a logical block address of the virtual function to a corresponding allocated one of said fixed number of I/O buffers based at least in part on a current state of a state machine.

Abstract: Described herein are 3-dimensional clusters of reaggregated cells comprising cells reaggregated from at least two different cell sources, such as different cell types, different donors, and combinations thereof. Methods of making, using, and cryopreserving these 3-dimensional clusters of reaggregated cells are also described herein.

Abstract: One or more virtual functions is exposed via a shared communication interface. A plurality of I/O buffers shared across said virtual functions are provided. For each of said one or more virtual functions, a corresponding submission queue comprising one or more virtual submission queue entries (SQEs) is used, wherein a memory access device is configured to: receive data pushed to the memory access device by a client host system, store the data in an allocated one of the I/O buffers, receive a submission queue entry (SQE) that invokes one of said virtual functions with respect to the data, and use a corresponding one of the plurality of logic circuits that is associated with the invoked virtual function to perform the virtual function with respect to the data as stored in the allocated I/O buffer.

Abstract: A request is received via a message submission queue. The request is sent from a core associated with an external processor coupled by a communication interface. The message submission queue is associated with a memory access engine circuit configured to perform one or more memory access functions. The memory access engine circuit is used to dequeuer a next message from its corresponding message submission queue. The memory access engine circuit is used to perform a message function invoked by the message. The memory access engine circuit is used to receive a result of performing the message function. The memory access engine circuit is used to prepare and send to an external processing core that sent the message a response message determined based at least in part on the result.

Abstract: In a method of loading checked luggage on unit load devices corresponding to an aircraft having a passenger compartment, each piece of checked luggage is associated with a unique identifier. Each piece of checked luggage is weighed and its weight is associated with its corresponding unique identifier. A best possible luggage placement is calculated considering a distribution of passenger weight, thereby allowing the passengers to sit at their preferred location rather than by pre-allocation. A desired placement of the checked luggage is calculated based on the weight of each piece of checked luggage, the acceptable distribution of weight in the passenger compartment and overall fuel state over mission profile.

Abstract: Inside-out gelation process to generate hydrogel microcapsules (aka microbeads). Methods of encapsulating biological material in the microbead 3-dimensional hydrogel matrix are described herein. The process generally comprises formation of a mixture of a hydrogel precursor compound, an optional biological material, and a divalent cation. The mixture is then combined with alginate, to generate an alginate shell around droplets of the mixture, followed by gelation of the hydrogel precursor core, and removal of the temporary alginate shell to yield self-sustaining microbeads.
