  • Publication number: 20240361348
    Abstract: Purifying target biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or proteins, from a biological source is a time intensive process and is typically performed by a skilled technician or scientist owing to the highly technical nature of the work. Systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein enable the automated bioprocessing and purification of target biomolecules from a biological source. For example, an instrument and disposable cartridge are provided for automatedly isolating and purifying nucleic acids (such as plasmid DNA from a bacterial culture) or for isolating protein from any biological sample. Such an exemplary instrument and cartridge can work in concert to timely release, mix, and move the target biomolecule and various reagents and buffers through a target biomolecule purification process, resulting in a purified target biomolecule with less manual oversight than traditional approaches.

  • Publication number: 20240364695
    Abstract: A method includes: accessing objects, generated by a set of sources, representing attributes of assets, affiliated with a computer network, including a set of endpoint devices and a first application; partitioning the objects into object groups including a first object group representing the first application; aggregating objects in the first object group into a first user container representing the first application during the first time interval; and, in response to selection of the first application at an operator portal: generating a visualization representing a subset of endpoint devices, in the set of endpoint devices, on which the first application is installed during the first time interval based on a set of attributes, exhibited by the first application during the first time interval, contained in the first application container; and rendering the visualization at the operator interface.

  • Publication number: 20240361119
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a target to rotate about an axis; an excitation coil to carry an excitation signal; and a first sense coil to carry a sense signal induced by the excitation signal. The first sense coil comprises two or more lobes in one or more planes that are perpendicular to the axis. The two or more lobes comprise a first lobe at a first position relative to the axis and a second lobe at a second position relative to the axis. The second position is substantially the same radial distance from the axis as the first position is from the axis. The second position is at an angular distance of ? from the first position, where ?=180°±?/2, and ? is a measurement range for angular-position sensing (e.g., ?=60°) within a range of 50% to 150% of ?.

  • Patent number: 12130531
    Abstract: An electro-optic media includes either a plurality of microcapsules in a binder, a polymeric sheet containing sealed microcells, or droplets in a continuous polymeric phase. Each of the microcapsules, microcells, or droplets contain a dispersion that includes a plurality of charged composite particles and a suspending fluid, and the charged particles move through the suspending fluid under the influence of an electric field. The composite particles include one or more types of pigment particles that are at least partially coated with a polymeric material. Each of the binder, polymeric sheet, continuous polymeric phase, the charged composite particles, and the suspending fluid have an index of refraction, and a difference between the index of refraction of the composite particles and at least one of the binder, polymeric sheet, continuous polymeric phase, and solvent is less than or equal to 0.05 at 550 nm.

  • Patent number: 12121668
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a humidification system includes a heater base having a heater plate, a humidification chamber, and circuit. The circuit can include various conduits, including an inspiratory conduit, expiratory conduit, Y-piece, patient conduit, and/or dry conduit. In use, the chamber contains a quantity of liquid. The heater base heats the heater plate, which in turn heats the liquid to a temperature that causes at least some of the liquid to become vapor, thereby humidifying the gases within the chamber. The gas is delivered to the patient via the inspiratory conduit. Various features can help control the system and ensure the patient receives gases having the desired conditions. These features can be used individually or in various combinations and subcombinations both in existing humidification systems and improved systems for respiratory humidification, laparoscopy, and other purposes.
