  • Patent number: 12547303
    Abstract: A system and method for investigating trust scores. A trust score is calculated based on peer transfers, a graphical user interface displays actuatable elements associated with a first peer transfer from the peer transfers, in response to receiving an indication the first actuatable element has been actuated, recalculating the trust score without the first peer transfer.

  • Patent number: 12206942
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate population reach for different unions based on marginal ratings. An example apparatus includes memory and processor circuitry to determine a population reach estimate of a union of time intervals for which media ratings data is available, the population reach estimate based on a pseudo universe estimate of a population audience corresponding to the union of the time intervals; determine a pseudo universe estimate of a recorded audience corresponding to the union of the time intervals; determine the pseudo universe estimate of the population audience based on the pseudo universe estimate of the recorded audience; and in response to a decision to update the pseudo universe estimate of the population audience to reduce an error of the population reach estimate output the population reach estimate of the union when the error of the population reach estimate satisfies a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240299581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of gene therapy for the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss. In particular, the invention discloses a composition comprising a 3rd generation lentiviral vector pseudotyped with a viral envelope glycoprotein capable of binding to a receptor expressed in a cell of the inner ear for use in the treatment or prevention of sensorineural hearing loss, wherein said composition has a viral titer of at least 107 TU/mL and is administered to the inner ear of a subject suffering from or in danger to undergo sensorineural hearing loss. The viral envelope glycoprotein is capable of binding to a receptor selected from the group consisting of the LDL-receptor and LDL-R family members, the SLC1 A5-receptor, the Pit1/2-receptor and the PIRYV-G-receptor. Preferably, the viral glycoprotein is MARAV-G, COCV-G, VSV-G, VSV-G ts or PIRYV-G, most preferably, MARAV-G. The lentiviral vector further comprises a cargo sequence comprising, e.g.

  • Patent number: 12059073
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a crossbar to which a plurality of accessories using different mechanical interfaces may be attached and detached. The crossbar is instrumented and provides information, such as a weight change due to addition to, or removal of, items from an accessory on the crossbar. An extensible bracket attaches the crossbar to a supporting structure, decreasing mechanical strain on the crossbar due to minor misalignment of the supporting structure. Accessories such as wire hooks, shelves, bins, and so forth may be supported by the crossbar. A tether device, locking cam device, or clip device may be used to prevent lateral movement of components such as the accessories or the entire crossbar relative to its supporting structure. A baffle may be affixed to the crossbar to constrain airflow for operation in a temperature-controlled case.

  • Publication number: 20240210914
    Abstract: Aspects of methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for performing multi-material selection optimization (MMSO) to provide topologically and geometrically optimized multi-component structures (MCSs) across a plurality of design inputs and constraints are proposed. In some embodiments, a 3-D print model of an object based on load case criteria is obtained. A portion of the 3-D print model is determined that can be replaced with a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) part model such that the load case criteria remain satisfied. The portion or the 3-D print model can then be replaced with the COTS part model to determine the MCS model. In various embodiments, a mesh representation of the model can be generated, and plurality of optimization techniques can be used to determine the MCS model.

  • Patent number: 11747494
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for using ion filtering to adjust the number of ions delivered to a substrate. The method comprising a process chamber being provided that is operatively connected to a plasma source. The substrate is provided on a substrate support that is provided within the process chamber. An electrical bias source is provided that is operatively connected to an aperture plate that is provided in the process chamber. The substrate on the substrate support is processed using a plasma generated using the plasma source.
