  • Patent number: 11348305
    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on a computer to perform operations. The operations include obtaining first content representing a physical environment in which an electronic device is located using an image sensor of the electronic device. A physical feature corresponding to a physical object in the physical environment is detected using the first content. A feature descriptor corresponding to a physical parameter of the physical feature is determined using the first content. Second content representing a computer generated reality (CGR) environment is generated based on the feature descriptor and presented on a display of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11314396
    Abstract: In an exemplary process for selecting a text input field using an eye gaze, a graphical object including the text input field is displayed. The text input field is associated with one or more respective locations on one or more displays. Characteristics of an eye gaze are determined using gaze sensors, and a gaze location is determined using the characteristics. Input is received from an input device corresponding to one or more text characters. If the gaze location corresponds to the one or more respective locations, then the one or more text characters are displayed in the text input field. If the gaze location does not correspond to the one or more respective locations, then the one or more text characters are not displayed in the text input field.

  • Publication number: 20220112191
    Abstract: The present application provides bifunctional compounds of Formula (Ia) or (Ib): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, prodrug, stereoisomer, or tautomer thereof, which act as protein degradation inducing moieties for cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8). The present application also relates to methods for the targeted degradation of CDK8 through the use of the bifunctional compounds that link a ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety to a ligand that is capable of binding to CDK8 which can be utilized in the treatment of disorders modulated by CDK8.

  • Patent number: 11270367
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to providing product information. The appearance of a first product and a second product is detected within a field of view of one or more image sensors. Movement of the first product or the second product relative to one another is then detected. If the movement of the first product or the second product relative to one another causes the first product to come within a threshold distance of the second product, then comparison information is displayed at a location at least partially between the first product and the second product.

  • Publication number: 20210398664
    Abstract: A method of processing blood includes receiving from a touch screen user input data for a protocol for a wash procedure. The user input data includes a numeric value. The method includes storing the protocol in a memory, receiving an identifier from a user, determining if the identifier permits the user to modify the protocol and receiving a modification of the protocol from the user. The method includes providing a plurality of authorizations, a second authorization being a default and an administrator authorization permitting the user to change a setting. The method includes comparing a password to a password stored in memory and, if there is a match, determining that the password is associated with an administrator. If a command to change the setting is received, the command is applied to change the setting. The blood is processed employing a wash procedure using the modified protocol and the changed setting.

  • Patent number: 11191879
    Abstract: A cell processing system includes a processor connectable to a source container filled with a biological fluid, the processor including a separator configured to separate the biological fluid from the source container into at least two streams according to a process including at least one process parameter, and a controller coupled to the processor and an input. The controller is configured to receive the at least one process parameter, to evaluate the process using the at least one process parameter before performing the process, and to carry out one or more actions based on the evaluation, such as providing an output estimate to the operator, preventing the process from being performed according to a comparison between a calculated condition and a control, or providing an error indication to the operator according to the calculated condition and a measured in-process condition.

  • Publication number: 20210364809
    Abstract: In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions computer-executable on a computer to perform operations. The operations include presenting, on a display of an electronic device, first content representing a standard view of a physical setting depicted in image data generated by an image sensor of the electronic device. While presenting the first content, an interaction with an input device of the electronic device is detected that is indicative of a request to present an enriched view of the physical setting. In accordance with detecting the interaction, second content is formed representing the enriched view of the physical setting by applying an enrichment effect that alters or supplements the image data generated by the image sensor. The second content representing the enriched view of the physical setting is presented on the display.

  • Publication number: 20210309755
    Abstract: Mesothelin (MSLN) is expressed on pancreatic cancers, ovarian cancers and mesotheliomas. The present disclosure provides antigen-binding molecules, including anti-MSLN antibodies, and bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind to both MSLN and a T cell antigen (e.g., CD3) and activate T cells in the presence of MSLN-expressing tumor cells. The antigen-binding molecules of this disclosure are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which a MSLN-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the antigen-binding molecules of the present disclosure are useful for the treatment of various cancers, including pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and mesotheliomas.

  • Patent number: 11131026
    Abstract: Methods for forming sintered-bonded high temperature coatings over ceramic turbomachine components are provided, as are ceramic turbomachine components having such high temperature coatings formed thereover. In one embodiment, the method includes the step or process of removing a surface oxide layer from the ceramic component body of a turbomachine component to expose a treated surface of the ceramic component body. A first layer of coating precursor material, which has a solids content composed predominately of at least one rare earth silicate by weight percentage, is applied to the treated surface. The first layer of the coating precursor material is then heat treated to sinter the solids content and form a first sintered coating layer bonded to the treated surface. The steps of applying and sintering the coating precursor may be repeated, as desired, to build a sintered coating body to a desired thickness over the ceramic component body.
