Abstract: The invention provides methods for assessing immune system function and status based on cellular analysis. Methods of the present invention involve obtaining mass properties of immune cells collected in a tissue or body fluid sample from a subject. Such mass properties may include the mass of one or more immune cells and/or changes in mass of such immune cells over a period of time. Such data is then used for determining a status of the subject's immune response, and subsequent diagnosis and treatment of an infection or immunological disease or dysfunction.

Abstract: In silico tools are used to determine possibly effective therapies for treating a patient's cancer based on patient, drug, and cancer information. Functional assays can be performed on living cancer cells from the patient to evaluate the possibly effective therapies along with subsequent genomic or other more destructive assays to provide additional information from a single sample. Drug, patient, cancer, and outcome information can be recorded and updated iteratively and analyzed using machine learning to identify correlations between various patient, cancer, and drug characteristics and expected outcomes and drug efficacies.

Abstract: The invention provides devices and methods for linked multimodal measurements of individual particles using a mass sensor and an additional sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and rendering content relevant to a user's current mental state and context. In an aspect, a system includes a state component that determines a state of a user during a current session of the user with the media system based on navigation of the media system by the user during the current session, media items provided by the media system that are played for watching by the user during the current session, and a manner via which the user interacts with or reacts to the played media items. In an aspect, the state of the user includes a mood of the user. A selection component then selects a media item provided by the media provider based on the state of the user, and a rendering component effectuates rendering of the media item to the user during the current session.

Abstract: An automatic sensor deployment system is provided for automatically deploying a sensor from a vessel to an underwater position. The automatic sensor deployment system comprises: a frame; a retractable arm supported by the frame, wherein a distal portion of the retractable arm is configured to be actuated from a retracted position to a deployed position in a direction away from the frame; a cable guide located at the distal portion of the retractable arm; a lifting cable supported by the cable guide; a sensor apparatus attached to the lifting cable, the sensor apparatus comprising a sensor for underwater sensing; a winch configured to retract and let out the lifting cable to raise and lower the sensor apparatus; and at least one actuator configured to actuate the retractable arm and the winch. Unlocking insights from Geo-Data, the present invention further relates to improvements in sustainability and environmental developments: together we create a safe and liveable world.

Abstract: The present invention includes methods and systems for assessing a cellular response to a treatment modality, such as potential drug candidate, by comparing normalized single-cell measurements of cellular properties without the need of a calibration step.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for finding and sampling hydrocarbons from seeps in water or from artificial sources of water. The present invention related to systems and methods for in situ analyzing fluid samples in a body of water. The systems and methods can be used to find hydrocarbons and associated non-hydrocarbons from seeps in water. Such seeps may come from natural sources in deep water, possibly as deep as 3000 m or even more.

Abstract: Methods of calibration are provided. A method comprises introducing a material with cell-like properties and a known mass into a sensor on a measurement instrument to generate a calibration reading and adjusting an output module of the measurement instrument until the measurement instrument calibrates to the known mass for the material.
