Abstract: This invention relates to the forward programming of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into megakaryocyte (MK) progenitor cells using the transcription factors GATA1, FLI1 and TAL1. Methods of producing megakaryocyte (MK) progenitor cells and subsequently differentiating them into mature megakaryocytes are provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention broadly contemplate systems, methods, apparatuses and program products that provide position tracking using a simple, low frequency oscillator that is attached to an object to be tracked, and one or more receiving stations that are placed around the area in which the object moves. Embodiments of the invention enable position tracking of the object using light weight equipment which minimally impacts the object's natural state.

Abstract: Gesture-based association of multiple devices may be facilitated, which may effectuate presentation of content related to associated devices. Gesture detection may reduce or completely eliminate any ambiguity of whether the association is wanted or not. Some implementations may be employed in a theme park in which park guests wear an RFID wristband. During a park visit, when merchandise goods with embedded RFIDs are purchased (e.g., toys and/or other merchandise), the merchandise may be associated with the wristband and, therefore, the park guest wearing the wristband. Such association may give the theme park environment and/or the toy itself a mechanism to adapt their behavior depending on which toy the park guest is carrying. This may contribute to richer storytelling and personalized experiences, which may be realized by using location information, knowledge about the park guest's preferences or previous park visits, favorite attractions, age, language-specific information, and/or other information.

Abstract: A software application that displays clinical entities and the relationships between them allows a user to perform a dynamic graph analysis. A data repository contains information on different clinical entities and the relationships between those clinical entities. The user can select an initial set from those clinical entities and can select a comparison set from those clinical entities. The selected clinical entities are displayed as nodes on a graphic user interface (GUI), and their relationships are displayed as links amongst those nodes on the GUI. The user can graphically rearrange the nodes through the GUI in order to reveal patterns and optimizations amongst those nodes. The software application also graphically integrates organization features into the GUI, which allows the user to further analyze the nodes.

Abstract: An LED lighting control system incorporating a control IC for fast control of LED current in a switching Buck-type power supply through dedicated power supply control hardware with slow changing signals of temperature and input under control of firmware. The control IC optimizes the use of power from the source and optimizes the operating efficiency of the LED output while providing for a plurality of LED devices to be powered in parallel by a single controller.

Abstract: The LED light fixture includes white LEDs having multiple, different color temperatures. Preferably, white LEDs having color temperatures of about 3500 and about 5000 degrees Kelvin (K) are selected. The intensity of each LED may be varied and the light radiated from the LEDs is mixed together. The resulting light emitted from the housing is a white light having a variable color temperature ranging from about 3500 to about 5000 K. The housing is preferably extruded aluminum. A portion of the housing is configured to mix the light together and to focus the light such that the output light is about thirty degrees off center. Electrical loading is off set to minimize load on power supplies.
