  • Patent number: 12215419
    Abstract: Methods of producing an optical surface atop an exterior of a substrate that includes smoothing the exterior using an ALD process to sequentially deposit ALD layers to produce one or more ALD films that fill spaces between spaced-apart asperities existing on the exterior, and thereafter depositing a reflective material on the smoothed exterior of the substrate to produce the optical surface. The smoothing resulting from depositing the ALD film on the exterior of the substrate causes the grain size of the reflective material to be reduced in comparison to the grain size that would exists without having deposited the ALD film on the exterior of the substrate. The smoothing is sufficient to cause a reduction in grain size that results in a reduction in plasmon absorption in the optical surface in comparison to the plasmon absorption that would otherwise exist without having reduced the grain size of the reflective material.

  • Patent number: 12156821
    Abstract: Embodiments provide an adjustable cage template for determining a cage for use in a spinal surgery. The adjustable cage template may include top and bottom cage template, control supports. A configuration of the cage template may be modified and sensors may measure forces applied to the cage template during the modification of the cage template configuration. Modifications to the cage template include rotation of the top cage template relative to the bottom cage template, vertical translation of the top cage template relative to the bottom cage template, or both rotation and vertical translation of the top and bottom cage templates. Information associated with measurements from the sensors may be output to determine whether a current configuration of the cage template is optimal and a final cage template may be selected for the spinal surgery based at least in part on the output information.

  • Patent number: 12016071
    Abstract: Presented are intelligent vehicle communications systems for cellular link monitoring and failure detection, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles equipped with such systems. A method for operating a wireless-enabled vehicle component of a motor vehicle includes a cellular communications device of the vehicle component detecting an uplink (or downlink) network data packet transmitted by (or to) the vehicle. An electronic vehicle controller then establishes an observation period as a function of the time at which the network data packet was transmitted. The opposite downlink (or uplink) of the wireless-enabled vehicle component is monitored to determine if a downlink (or uplink) network data packet is received within the observation period, thereby indicating detection of a cellular link failure.

  • Patent number: 11920202
    Abstract: Described herein is an unbiased method of identifying tumor rejection mediating neoepitopes (TRMNs). Putative neoepitopes from a cancer cell exome sequence from a cancer patient are putative neoepitopes are unbiased by MHC binding and/or CD8T* reactivity. By plotting the putative neoepitope IC50s on one axis, and the non-mutated amino acid sequence IC50s on a perpendicular axis to provide a bivariate scatter plot, novel TRMNs are identified TRMNs the neoepitopes in the bivariate scatter plot which are in the space greater than 501 nM on the x-axis and greater than 501 nM on the y-axis. Peptides and nucleic acids for expressing peptides including the TRMNs are also described.

  • Patent number: 11586491
    Abstract: A first service's exhibition of a first symptom while executing a set of transactions is detected. A graph is constructed representing data flow between a set of services including the first service. By traversing the graph, a set of candidate services is constructed, a candidate service in the set of candidate services comprising a service exhibiting the first symptom, the set of candidate services including the first service. A probability of a first cause is evaluated, for the candidate service. At a problem service in the set of candidate services, a problem cause is ameliorated, the problem service identified using the set of candidate services and the probability of the first cause, the problem cause causing the first symptom.
