  • Publication number: 20230338902
    Abstract: A method of making a filter, the resulting filter, and a method of using the filter to filter proteins from solution are described. The method includes contacting a porous, polymeric substrate with a transfer liquid comprising a solvent(s) and a charged polymeric solute. The transfer liquid and the polymeric substrate have a Hansen Solubility Parameter (“HSP”) distance of from about 10 to about 35. Contacting the polymeric substrate with the transfer solution causes the polymeric substrate to accept the charged polymeric solute by diffusion transfer, thereby yielding a functionalized filter medium. Removal of the transfer liquid from the polymeric substrate traps the charged polymeric solute on the surface of the polymeric substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230333955
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods, and devices for detecting and classifying service issues associated with a cloud-based service are presented. Operational event data for a plurality of operations associated with the cloud-based application service may be monitored. A statistical-based unsupervised machine learning model may be applied to the operational event data. A subset of the operational event data may be tagged as potentially being associated with a code regression, wherein the subset comprises a time series of operational event data. A neural network may be applied to the time series of operational event data, and the time series of operational event data may be flagged for follow-up if the neural network classifies the time series as relating to a positive code regression category.
