Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a system that includes a plate holder and an awl. The plate holder has a first end and a second end with an engagement feature at the second end that is engageable with a bone plate. The awl is releasably engaged to the plate holder and includes a locking mechanism adjustable from a first setting to a second setting and a tip. When the locking mechanism is in the first setting, the awl is fixed relative to the plate holder and the tip is disposed within the plate holder. When the locking mechanism is in the second setting, the awl is axially translatable relative to the plate holder such that the tip of the awl extends out of the second end of the plate holder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses (radio base station) and UE for enabling a UE to perform a random access. According to embodiments of the present invention, an identification number of a dedicated random access preamble is, in a message, transmitted together with information indicating in which channel or channels the preamble is valid for the UE. The UE can then use the received information and based on that information perform a random access.

Abstract: A method for use in a cellular communications system in which system traffic can be exchanged between transceivers comprises receiving traffic from a second transceiver at a first transceiver. The traffic includes data units that are each associated with an identifier. The data units are also divided into segments. The method additionally includes sending status information from the first transceiver to the second transceiver. The status information pertains to one or more data units transmitted by the second transceiver. Additionally, sending the status information includes, for non-received and partially received data units, sending information indicating the data units were non-received or partially received and, for partially received data units, sending information indicating which parts of the data units were not received.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for identifying polypeptides using data collected by a protein sequencing device. The protein sequencing device may collect data obtained from detected light emissions by luminescent labels during binding interactions of reagents with amino acids of the polypeptide. The light emissions may result from application of excitation energy to the luminescent labels. The device may provide the data as input to a trained machine learning model to obtain output that may be used to identify the polypeptide. The output may indicate, for each of a plurality of locations in the polypeptide, one or more likelihoods that one or more respective amino acids is present at the location. The output may be matched to an amino acid sequence that specifies a protein.

Abstract: A method to develop one or more morphometric classifiers to identify a tumor mutation burden (TMB). The method provides a non-invasive method of characterizing TMB that is responsive to a tumor in its early stages of development and irrespective of the tumor size. The method allows targeting cancer therapy to the specific characteristics of the cancer that the patient may have, allowing more efficient cancer management with far fewer side effects.

Abstract: A frame for a pressure washing device is provided. The frame comprises at least one tubular member and a plurality of bends are provided in the tubular member. The frame is preferably devoid of a support plate and is adapted to receive at least one of a power source and a pump that is directly mounted to the frame.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for predicting an association between input data in a first modality and data in a second modality using a statistical model trained to represent interactions between data having a plurality of modalities including the first modality and the second modality, the statistical model comprising a plurality of encoders and decoders, each of which is trained to process data for one of the plurality of modalities, and a joint-modality representation coupling the plurality of encoders and decoders. The method comprises selecting, based on the first modality and the second modality, an encoder/decoder pair or a pair of encoders, from among the plurality of encoders and decoders, and processing the input data with the joint-modality representation and the selected encoder/decoder pair or pair of encoders to predict the association between the input data and the data in the second modality.

Abstract: Technologies for monitoring beehives in an apiary includes one or more sensors communicatively coupled to a remote data analysis computing device, which is communicatively coupled to a client computing device. The sensors are configured to monitor beehives and/or the environment of the apiary and transmit the sensed data to the remote data analysis computing device. The remote data analysis computing device is configured to analyze the received sensor data, determine whether to perform an action as a function of a result of the analysis, and perform the function, as applicable. The client computing device is configured to interface with the remote data analysis computing device such that a user of the client computing device can view results of the data analysis and actions, as well as provide input and adjust settings administered by the remote data analysis computing device. A model for assessing beehive strength from an infrared image is also disclosed. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: A keyboard translates key inputs to a touchscreen display disposed under the keyboard with the keys biased away from the touchscreen display by an elastic material that engages with the touchscreen display. The elastic material couples the keys to a lattice held within a frame and having a height of less than the frame. The keys extend to an input position if the lattice presses against the touchscreen display, such as by being held in place with magnetic attraction. The keys retract to within the lattice if the lattice is raised relative to the touchscreen display, the elastic material biasing the lattice upward away from the touchscreen display.
