Abstract: An optical assembly is disclosed in which two input pupils of light are projected onto an input grating. The input pupils can be overlapping or non-overlapping. The input grating is configured to receive the input pupils and to diffract them so that they are coupled towards an output element in parallel directions that are laterally separated from one another. The input pupils can be received respectively at a first portion and a second portion of an output element, on either side of a dividing line. The input pupils are received at positions that are symmetrically displaced from the dividing line. The first portion and the second portion are mirror-images of one another, and each can expand light from respective input pupils in an equal and opposite way.

Abstract: Novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in nucleotide and amino acid forms and uses thereof are provided. The isolates show specific tropism for certain target tissues, such as blood stem cells, liver, heart and joint tissue, and may be used to transduce stem cells for introduction of genes of interest into the target tissues. Certain of the vectors are able to cross tightly controlled biological junctions, such as the blood-brain barrier, which open up additional novel uses and target organs for the vectors, providing for additional methods of gene therapy and drug delivery.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure use one or more processor(s) to receive a consumable preference and a daily score intake value associated with a user and to obtain a content data regarding consumable item including an amount of a first nutrient found in the consumable item. The processor(s) utilizes, in real-time, a nutrient prediction machine learning model to ingest the content data regarding the consumable item and predict an amount of a second nutrient in the consumable item based on the content data and a decision tree library of thousand nutrient decision trees. The processor(s) determines zero-scored consumable item based on the daily score intake value, the amount of the first nutrient, the amount of the second nutrient, and the consumable preference. The processor(s) instructs a computing device to utilize a graphical user interface element to identify the zero-scored consumable item on a screen of the computing device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for generating an avatar. The program and method perform operations comprising delivering, by a messaging server, a notification to a client device that identifies a fashion item for customizing an avatar of a user; causing the notification comprising the fashion item to be displayed on the client device; receiving, by the messaging server, a request from the client device to access the fashion item; determining that the request from the client device to access the fashion item has been received prior to expiration of a scarcity parameter of the fashion item; and enabling the client device to access the fashion item in response to determining that the request from the client device has been received prior to the expiration of the scarcity parameter of the fashion item.

Abstract: A method for filling and draining a liquid cooling system, may include, in a fill mode of the system, causing a pump to drive liquid from a reservoir configured to hold the liquid, through a first fluidic conduit configured to couple to a first pair of fluid disconnects of a manifold of the liquid cooling system, through the first pair of fluid disconnects, to fluidic channels of the liquid cooling system fluidically coupled to the first pair of fluid disconnects, and in a drain mode of the system, causing the pump to drive liquid present in the fluidic channels to flow from the fluidic channels, through the first pair of fluid disconnects, through the first fluidic conduit, and to the reservoir.
