  • Publication number: 20240327475
    Abstract: Proteins, nucleic acids encoding the proteins, compositions comprising the proteins, and methods are provided. The proteins have the ability to be self-targeted to ICAM-1 and, if desired, enzymatically-released at acidic pH. The ICAM-1-targeting peptides are provided as single copies or multiples repeats, and can be separated by linkers from the enzyme segment, from which the ICAM-1 targeting peptides can be released, if desired, at acidic pH. These fusion proteins enhance the activity of the enzyme segment within or liberated from the fusion protein, and provide increased recognition and targeting of diseased organs, transport from the bloodstream across the endothelium into said diseased organ, and intracellular uptake and lysosomal trafficking by cells in them, both in peripheral tissues and the central nervous system. Representative nucleotide and amino acid sequences of these fusion proteins, as well as in vitro, cellular, and in vivo animal data are provided.

  • Publication number: 20240286829
    Abstract: An automated gate actuator system is provided for use in selectively opening and closing a gate that dispenses proppant from a proppant container during the course of a hydraulic fracturing operation. A lever arm is pivotally mounted for movement to place a drive gear in contact with a driven gear to open and close the gate. The gate may be remotely or autonomously actuated in this manner utilizing an electronic control triggered by human and/or sensor input.

  • Publication number: 20240281614
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for providing open-ended input data and prompting a response to solicit additional information from a user. A method comprises receiving initial input data. The method includes determining a plurality of categories associated with the initial input data; determining for each category in the plurality of categories, a threshold value and a category likeliness score value; and determining a category match between a category and the input data, where the category is one of a plurality of categories, by calculating when the likeliness score value exceeds the threshold value. The method further includes providing a probe request associated with each category match and determining a prediction score associated with each probe request.

  • Publication number: 20240094186
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for localizing magnets are useful for biological tissue analysis and other applications. Tissue analysis systems for use with a tissue analysis device may include a storage medium storing computer readable instructions that cause the execution of magnet localization methods. The system may include the tissue analysis device, which includes a magnet and a magnetometer array disposed adjacent to the magnet. When executed by a processor, the instructions cause operations, including recording a magnetic field of the magnet with the magnetometer array, simulating a simulated magnetic field at each magnetometer of the magnetometer array, and estimating positional information of the magnet based upon iterating simulated positional information of the simulated magnet.

  • Publication number: 20230215223
    Abstract: A system and method for performing service actions on a vehicle according to a ruleset. The ruleset classifies serviceable conditions of the vehicle according to rules defined within the ruleset. A diagnostic tool is utilized to perform the service actions and is configured to establish data communication with other diagnostic devices that the rules indicate may be required for a certified service action. After the completion of the service actions, certified repair results are generated indicating successful completion of the service action.

    Abstract: An electric machine is described together with a stator. The electric machine comprises a stator, said stator comprising a cylindrical stator core having an end face; slots provided on the end face, each slot running through the stator core; a plurality of conductor bars disposed within the slots; and an end face assembly electrically connecting at least two of the conductor bars; a rotor having a plurality of magnetic pole pairs; and a controller electrically connected to said stator for regulating an excitation current supplied to or from the conductor bars, wherein the controller regulates an amplitude of the excitation current independently of a frequency of the excitation current. This arrangement simplifies stator construction and allows for optimisation of the electric machine.
