Abstract: An artificial-reality headset comprises a first lens assembly coupled with a first shape guide, and a second lens assembly coupled with a second shape guide. The artificial-reality headset comprises an interpupillary-distance (IPD) adjustment system that moves one or both of the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly to produce a first IPD between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly, and a second IPD between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly. A membrane is included, and the membrane is in contact with the first and second shape guides such that: when the first IPD is produced between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly, a number of creases in the portions of the membrane is a first number, and when the second IPD is produced between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly, no new creases are introduced.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method of actuating a downhole tool, comprising the steps of providing a conductor having a first end positioned at a surface location and a second end positioned at a first downhole location within a wellbore, receiving an electrical signal from the conductor at the first downhole location, transmitting an acoustic signal through the wellbore, starting at the first downhole location and arriving at the second downhole location, receiving the acoustic signal at the second downhole location, moving a spring-forced piston in response to the acoustic signal, and actuating the downhole tool from a first configuration to a second configuration by moving the piston.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for monitoring substances that are injected into an Earth formation whether that be CO2 from a carbon capture and storage (CCS) process, or water or steam injected for an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Components located on an outside of a wellbore casing may be electrically isolated from components located on the inside of the wellbore casing. Data and/or power may be transferred through the wellbore casing wirelessly in order to increase the reliability of a data collection system because the need for wires to be placed on the outside surface of a wellbore casing is eliminated. The components located on the outside of the casing may receive electromagnetic (EM) or transmit EM fields as part of a system that collects data about substances that are injected into Earth formations during a CCS or EOR process.

Abstract: This application relates to solid forms of an S1P-receptor modulator, which are useful in the treatment of diseases or disorders associated with activity of S1P, including CNS disorders.

Abstract: The disclosure presents processes to locate one or more quantum gravimeters at a hydrocarbon well site, with at least one quantum gravimeter at a surface location. Zero or more additional gravimeters, whether quantum gravimeters or non-quantum gravimeters, can be located downhole a wellbore of the well site. Gravitational data collected from various gravimeters can be analyzed to produce analyzed gravitational parameters and subterranean formation parameters. In some aspects, the gravitational data can be processed, such as by an inversion algorithm or a noise reduction algorithm. The generated results can be used to calibrate non-quantum gravimeters located proximate the well site or downhole the wellbore, identify a depth and direction of a water front, identify the fluid flow of hydrocarbons or water in the subterranean formation, to identify orphaned hydrocarbon reservoirs, or other characteristics of fluid flow or subterranean formation parameters, such as subterranean formation damage.

Abstract: A method for the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, or a predisposition towards Type 1 diabetes, or to monitor the efficacy of a therapy to prevent or treat Type 1 diabetes, said method comprising contacting a sample from a subject with a reagent selected from Tetraspanin-7 or a fragment, or a modified form thereof, and detecting an interaction indicative of the presence of an autoimmune response to Tetraspanin-7. Tetraspanin-7 is now understood to be the protein recognised by Glima 38 specific antibodies. Reagents and kits for use in the method and therapies associated with these form further aspects of the invention.

Abstract: A method of operating a communication signaling processor is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a signaling message for a voice call to a called party, processing the signaling message to transfer a query to a database that is updated when the called party changes locations, receiving a response from the database, and processing the response to select an identifier for a header of a voice communication to route the voice call to the called party.

Abstract: The present invention provides alternative forms of Compound I, processes to reproducibly make them and methods of treating patients using them.

Abstract: A communication processing system handles a plurality of calls. On a call-by-call basis for each of the calls, the system receives a control message indicating a route identifier for the call, receives a voice band communication for the call, and determines if the voice band communication should be compressed. If the voice band communication should be compressed, the system compresses the voice band communication, adds the route identifier from the control message to the compressed voice band communication, and transfers the compressed voice band communication with the route identifier. If the voice band communication should be not compressed, the system adds the route identifier from the control message to the voice band communication and transfers the voice band communication with the route identifier.
