Abstract: A reusable modular structural member may replace wooden structures used in concrete forming, transportation, marine, and construction applications. The reusable modular structural member includes a structural profile with first and second sides; a plurality of support beams extending from the first to the second side; at least two fasteners, one at a first end and another at a second end of each of the plurality of ribs; and a groove on a first edge and a tongue on a second edge that are configured to form a dovetail joint that can attach two reusable modular structural members of similar configuration. A reusable modular member can include the modular structural profile and interfacial layers covering the first and second sides. The reusable modular member may be made by extruding the structural profile and molding a recycled plastic polymer to external portions of the structural profile to form the interfacial layers.

Abstract: An indoor location is mapped into a grid comprising grid cells, each cell associated with items or objects detected as being present in the corresponding cell. The grid, grid cells, and linked items and/or objects are generated and updated using an Augmented Reality (AR) algorithm that maps a physical environment into cells and measures distances and directions within the environment relative to each cell. Walking paths (routes) to the items within the indoor location are generated using the grid information. As a user walks a path, the user's position within the indoor location is mapped and tracked to the cells and the path revised based on the user's actual position. A user device provides video via an AR application to track the user's position; a rendering of the position and path are superimposed within the video being viewed by the user on the user-operated device.

Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical fusion/sealer and dissector is provided that is arranged to simultaneously fuse and cut tissue captured between jaws of the instrument.

An electrosurgical generator is arranged to supply RF energy through the instrument and monitors a phase angle of the supplied RF energy and adjusts or terminates the supplied RF energy based on the monitored phase angle to optimally fuse and dissect the tissue.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device for heating an aerosol-generating article is provided, the device including: a housing having an opening; a chamber within the housing to receive at least a portion of the article through the opening; a heater assembly within the housing and including a heating element to heat at least a portion of the chamber; a mechanism including at least one member at or proximate to the opening and configured to move between a first position in which the article can be inserted into the chamber via the opening, and a second position in which the member has reduced a size of the opening relative to a size of the opening when the member is in the first position; and at least one guide track along which the member is configured to slide when the member moves between the first and the second positions.

Abstract: Described herein are Fc variants and methods for the efficient production of antibodies and other multimeric protein complexes (collectively referred to herein as heteromultimeric proteins). Heteromultimeric proteins may be capable of specifically binding to more than one target. The targets may be, for example, different epitopes on a single molecule or located on different molecules. The methods combine efficient, high gene expression level, appropriate assembly, and ease of purification for the heteromultimeric proteins. The invention also provides methods of using these heteromultimeric proteins, and compositions, kits and articles of manufacture comprising these antibodies.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a dynamically weighted unobserved component model (“DW-UCM”) in a demand forecasting engine of a data analytics system. Dynamic weighting is performed based on a machine learning framework that includes tools, interfaces, and a library for developing improved machine learning models (e.g., dynamic demand forecasting models) of a dynamic weighting machine learning pipeline. In particular, the dynamic weighting machine learning pipeline can include a first module that is configured to predict if a segment (e.g., travel segment) under evaluation is open or closed (e.g., due to a restriction or rule), a second module that forecasts near-term recovery (e.g., approx. 0 - 4 weeks), and a third module that predicts longer term recovery.
