Abstract: A head-mounted device may have eyeglass lenses. Each eyeglass lens may have an optical system with inner and outer lens elements and a waveguide and light modulator between the inner and outer lens elements. The waveguide of each system may be configured to receive and guide an image from a projector. The waveguide may have a may have an output coupler configured to direct the image out of the waveguide through the inner lens element to an eye box for viewing by a user. The light modulator in each optical system may be electrically adjustable between a higher transmission state that enhances the visibility of real-world objects through the lens and a lower transmission state that dims ambient light to enhance the visibility of the image from the projector. The light modulator layer may have electrode structures that use portions of the waveguide and/or outer lens element as substrates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to substantially homogenous populations of human retinal progenitor cells having the following positive surface markers: SSEA4, CD73, PTK7 and PSA-NCAM. The invention also relates to method for preparing such substantially homogeneous cell populations from human tissue using cell sorting techniques.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for culturing human retinal progenitor cells under low oxygen conditions to allow the cells to retain the ability to differentiate into photoreceptors following transplantation. The described methods provide cells that can treat a number of ocular diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: Progenitor cells were isolated, purified and expanded using a microfluidic based cell sorting approach. The methods were successfully in purifying cone progenitor cells (CPCs) defined based on a proliferative population expressing cone arrestin and Red/Green (R/G) opsin at greater than 80% using a two multistage approach.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for remote management of hardware security modules (HSMs) includes receiving a command request from a mobile device. The command request includes an encrypted key part and an encrypted signing key. The HSM decrypts the command request using a key associated with a security zone of the mobile device. The HSM decrypts the encrypted key part and the encrypted signing key. Decrypting the encrypted key part and the encrypted signing key includes using the key associated with the security zone of the mobile device and a key associated with a remote administrator associated with the mobile device. A command is generated for a domain with a target HSM. The command is generated using the decrypted key part and the decrypted signing key. The command is transmitted to the domain for execution by the target HSM. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for recovering protein hydrolysates from high-fat protein concentrates. The method can be used, for example, to produce a whey protein hydrolysate from the by-product retentate of the manufacture of whey protein isolates, as well as to isolate the milk fat globule membrane from a high-fat whey protein concentrate starting material.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making protein emulsions for use in making products such as meat substitutes, meat extenders, egg substitutes, dairy analogues, etc., as well as methods for using the emulsion(s) to make various meat substitutes, egg substitutes, dairy analogues, etc. Also disclosed are vegetable protein crumbles for use as meat substitutes, either alone or in combination with the emulsion(s).

Abstract: A method for forming a treated reclaimed bottom ash sand and a treated reclaimed bottom ash sand. The method includes providing reclaimed bottom ash sand. The reclaimed bottom ash sand is contacted with an aqueous composition having 0.5 to 3.0 M NaOH for a time greater than about 4 hours. The NaOH contacted reclaimed bottom ash sand is rinsed and decanted and iron is removed to form a treated reclaimed bottom ash sand having reduced hydrogen formation in concrete compared to the hydrogen formation of concrete utilizing reclaimed bottom ash sand. The treated reclaimed bottom ash sand includes reactive aluminum of less than 50% by weight of the reactive aluminum in the reclaimed bottom ash sand and the treated reclaimed bottom ash sand includes less than 2 wt % iron. A concrete formed from the treated reclaimed bottom ash sand is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present application is directed to a method and system for restraining a patient before, during, or after surgery that increases efficiency of the surgical setup process and minimizes risk of musculoskeletal damage to the patient, particularly in surgeries requiring a patient to be in a Trendelenburg position (e.g., robotic or laparoscopic surgeries). One or more restraints can be worn by a patient prior to surgery', and may function to redistribute the patients weight across the patients torso to reduce strain on the patients shoulders and back. The restraint(s) can be attached to a surgical table by way of an attachment mechanism coupled to the restraint(s) and the table. The attachment mechanism can secure the patient to the table by way of one or more straps, clips, and/or other intermediates. Optionally, the restraint(s) can fulfill other surgical needs, such as heat regulation and vascular compression.
