Abstract: The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for providing access to data. The method includes receiving, by a data manager service from a data requesting service, a request using an identifier for a high-level data object to access a set of data associated with the high-level data object, determining, by the data manager service, low-level data object(s) corresponding to the set of data based on the identifier for the high-level data object, determining whether a user associated with the request has permission to access at least a subset of the low-level data object(s), and in response to determining that the user associated has permission to access the at least the subset of the low-level data object(s), generating, by the data manager service, a uniform resource locator (URL) via which the at least the subset of the one or more low-level data objects is accessible by the user.

Abstract: A patient interface can have a first body that rests on a first portion of a face of a patient, a second body that rests on a second portion of the face of the patient, and a bridge linking the first and second bodies. The patient interface can have an attachment structure that couples with a complementary fixation structure positioned on the face of the patient to secure the patient interface to the face. The fixation structure can include an adhesive to adhere the fixation structure, and thus the attached patient interface, to the face. The fixation structure can have an edge that is shaped to reduce the tendency for the fixation structure to be lifted off the face when the patient interface is detached from the face.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hollow fiber membrane bundle from a plurality of polysulfone and PVP-based hollow fiber membranes which encompasses the providing of a spinning solution comprising a polysulfone-based material, in particular polysulfone, a vinylpyrrolidone-based polymer, in particular polyvinylpyrrolidone, an aprotic solvent, in particular dimethylacetamide, providing a coagulant liquid comprising water and an aprotic solvent, in particular dimethylacetamide, co-extruding the spinning solution and the coagulant liquid through a concentric annular spinneret into a hollow strand, whereby the cavity of the strand is filled with coagulant liquid, conducting the strand through a precipitation gap, introducing the strand into a precipitating bath comprised substantially of water so as to obtain a hollow fiber membrane, conducting the hollow fiber membranes through at least one rinsing bath and drying the hollow fiber membrane obtained, arranging the resulting hollow fiber membra

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to PDE9 inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the PDE9 inhibitors, and methods of using the PDE9 pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD).

Abstract: Processes and systems for producing recycled content polyethylene terephthalate (r-PET) are provided. Integration of chemical recycling facilities with PET production facilities reduces energy consumption and helps minimize adverse environmental impacts, while providing valuable end products having up to 100 percent recycled content. Additionally, processes and systems described herein may provide high IV, crystalline PET based on dimethyl terephthalate, which can exhibit desirable properties during molding and other end use applications.

Abstract: An actuator can include one or more shape memory material members. When an activation input is provided to the one or more shape memory material members, the one or more shape memory material members contract, which causes the actuator to morph into an activated configuration. A height of the actuator increases in the activated configuration. The actuator can include a first outer body member and a second outer body member. The first outer body member can include a first portion and a second portion pivotably connected to each other. One or more processors can be operatively connected to selectively activate the one or more shape memory material members.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for inhibiting the activity of PI3K? enzymes with the compounds and compositions of the disclosure. The present disclosure further relates to, but is not limited to, methods for treating disorders associated with PI3K? signaling with the compounds and compositions of the disclosure.

Abstract: A system described herein relates to a shape memory material (SMM) wire anchor device. The system includes an eyelet including a surface and defining an aperture, a housing, and a shape memory material (SMM) member. An end portion of the SMM member extends through the housing, on the surface of the eyelet in a loop about the aperture, and back through the housing. The housing is deformed around the SMM member extending through the housing. The system also includes a fastener received in the aperture such that a portion of the SMM member is secured between the surface of the eyelet and the fastener.

Abstract: A system for executing a streaming query includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a logical query plan. The processor is configured to determine a physical query plan based at least in part on the logical query plan. The physical query plan comprises an ordered set of operators. Each operator of the ordered set of operators comprises an operator input mode and an operator output mode. The processor is further configured to execute the physical query plan using the operator input mode and the operator output mode for each operator of the query.

Abstract: An actuator can include an outer body. At least a portion of the outer body can be configured to pivot. The actuator can include a contracting member, such as a shape memory material member. When an activation input is provided to the contracting member, the contracting member can contract. As a result, the actuator can be caused to morph into an activated configuration in which a dimension, such as the height, of the actuator increases.
