Abstract: A method of detecting pulsed radiation comprising the steps of irradiating at least a portion of an array of sensor elements with pulsed radiation (71); addressing the array using a rolling shutter operation (72); reading the array to obtain a radiation image (73); and then applying a pulse detection operation (74) to the radiation image. The rolling shutter operation (72) is configured to address each element line of the array for a predetermined integration period. The predetermined integration period being calculated using an integration period function, itself a function of an anticipated pulse repetition interval of the pulsed radiation. The method and apparatus for the same enable low cost camera arrays to be used for pulse detection and for wider application in the field of low cost communications.

Abstract: An automated syringe handling system that will safely, securely, and quickly assemble syringes or other medical devices under controlled/sterile conditions while maintaining the syringes in a stable orientation and eliminating unnecessary operator contact with the syringes and working area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for secure online transaction. The method includes receiving a plurality of transaction data associated with an authenticated registered user from a point of sale (POS) terminal. The plurality of transaction data is processed to identify sensitive information. The sensitive information is substituted with cryptographically generated tokens at a reader head of the POS terminal, wherein the tokens are randomly generated numbers, randomly generated character sequences, pseudorandom numbers, or a combination thereof. The cryptographically generated tokens are encrypted, via an encryption protocol, to generate encrypted tokens at the reader head of the POS terminal. The encrypted tokens are transmitted to one or more processing servers for data aggregation and payment settlement.

Abstract: Provided in some aspects are compositions of cells for treating subjects with disease and conditions such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and related methods, compositions, uses and articles of manufacture. In some embodiments, the disease or condition is a B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-cell NHL). The cells generally express recombinant receptors such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) for targeting an antigen, such as CD 19, on cells of the lymphoma.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for data aggregation and efficient routing of the aggregated data for the settlement of payments. The method includes receiving, in real-time, transactions associated with an account of a registered user. The outstanding amount associated with transactions is aggregated based on a first preset time period. The payments for the aggregated outstanding amount are transmitted from a settlement account to an account of a merchant based on the first preset time period and/or a pre-determined total outstanding amount threshold. The transmitted payments are aggregated based on a second preset time period. The amount equivalent to the aggregated transmitted payments is transmitted from the account associated with the registered user to the settlement account based on the second preset time period. A user interface is then generated in devices of the registered user and merchant.

Abstract: Provided in some aspects are compositions of cells for treating subjects with disease and conditions such as multiple myeloma (MM), and related methods, compositions, uses and articles of manufacture. In some embodiments, the disease or condition is a relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM). The cells generally express recombinant receptors such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) for targeting an antigen, such as BCMA, on cells of the myeloma.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for routing and settling transactions between bank accounts associated with registered users and merchants. The method includes determining transactions for payment accounts associated with payment vehicles of registered users. The outstanding amount associated with transactions of each payment account is aggregated based on a first preset time period. The payments for the aggregated outstanding amount are transmitted to recipient accounts of merchants based on the first preset time period and/or a pre-determined total outstanding amount threshold. The transmitted payments are aggregated based on a second preset time period, the first preset time period being a subset of the second preset time period. The amount of the aggregated transmitted payments is deducted from the payment account based on the second preset time period.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating a patient having a disorder associated with BCMA expression (e.g. BCMA-expressing B-cell cancers, such as multiple myeloma) using dose-escalation dosing regimens with multispecific (e.g. bispecific) antibodies that bind to CD3 and BCMA.

Abstract: A cleaning method includes sensing at least one trigger, where the at least one trigger is chosen from sensing a presence of a first liquid within a wash compartment of an appliance with a liquid sensor and sensing an elapsed time from activation of a faucet of the appliance with a timer. The cleaning method also includes draining the first liquid from the wash compartment of the appliance. Additionally, the cleaning method includes rinsing the wash compartment with a second liquid. The draining of the first liquid from the wash compartment of the appliance and the rinsing of the wash compartment with a second liquid are both performed prior to initiating a wash cycle of the appliance.

Abstract: A dispensing assembly for a laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining a cartridge port. A dispensing device is coupled to the cabinet and extends into the cartridge port. A dispensing cartridge is selectively received by the cartridge port. The dispensing cartridge selectively engages the dispensing device when in an installed position within the cartridge port. The dispensing cartridge includes a nesting portion configured to house a first laundry chemistry. An insert portion is configured to house a second laundry chemistry. The nesting portion selectively receives the insert portion.

Abstract: CD47 antibodies that specifically inhibit the interaction between CD47 and the CD47-signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRP?) but not the interaction between CD47 and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), and methods of using these monoclonal antibodies as therapeutics are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an implantable medical device having a body comprising a composite material.

Abstract: The scent-dispensing animal collar accessory is adapted for use with a collar that is worn by an animal. The scent-dispensing animal collar accessory is a container that is attached to the collar. The container is used to contain a fragrance device. The fragrance device is a chemical device that releases one or more aroma compounds. Air flow through the container will disperse the one or more aroma compounds into the atmosphere in a manner that deemphasizes existing aromas that may be associated with the animal. The scent-dispensing animal collar comprises a container, an attachment device, and a fragrance device.
