Abstract: Systems and methods include a virtual environment generator to create an interactive virtual environment based on one or more cube maps. The virtual environment generator derives the cube maps from a computer-generated 3D model to correspond to viewpoints in the computer-generated 3D model. The cube maps represent static images and the virtual environment generator further layers various features and virtual items onto the cube maps to create the interactive virtual environment with both static and dynamic portions. One or more mapping locators are generated and layered onto the cube maps. Interactive layers, product models, animation layers, and virtual items, such as virtual characters and environment objects, are layered onto the cube map (e.g., via associations with the mapping locators). Interactions at the interactive layer can cause product information to be displayed. In a friend mode, multiple user devices can simultaneously present and/or interact with the cube map together.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to automated medical diagnostic systems and methods. One example embodiment includes a system. The system includes a test cartridge, a test strip usable to indicate the presence of one or more patient conditions, and a kiosk configured to receive and process the test cartridge and the test strip. The kiosk includes a vortex mixer; a conveyor belt; a robotic pipette module; an imaging system; a display; and a processor communicative coupled to the vortex mixer, the conveyor belt, the robotic pipette module, the imaging system, and the display. The processor is configured to execute instructions stored within a memory to operate the vortex mixer, the conveyor belt, the robotic pipette module, the imagine system, and the display; to receive the image of the test strip from the imaging system; and to analyze the image to determine whether one or more patient conditions is present.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates generally to semiconductor manufacturing, and more particularly to precursor delivery in cyclic deposition. A thin film deposition system comprises a manifold assembly to receive a gas from an inlet line and delivery the gas to a plurality of thin film processing stations through respective outlet lines. The manifold assembly comprises an internal hub reservoir with a base diameter significantly greater than an internal channel diameter of the inlet line. The hub reservoir lacks rotationally symmetry when rotated about 360° around the center. The inlet line is located below an uppermost surface of the hub reservoir and delivers the gas into the hub reservoir a vertically in a central region. The plurality of outlet lines are about evenly, radially distributed around the circumference of the hub reservoir.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a sterile urine collection mechanism for medical diagnostic systems. An example device includes an initial collection component configured to collect a midstream urine sample from a patient. The device also includes a plurality of test strips configured to indicate a condition of the patient at a point of care. In addition, the device includes a sensor configured to capture an image of at least one test strip exposed to a portion of the midstream urine sample. Further, the device includes a computing device configured to analyze the image of the test strip captured by the sensor in order to determine the condition of the patient. Even further, the device includes a motor configured to position the test strip near the sensor. Yet further, the device includes an additional collection component configured to collect an additional portion of the midstream urine sample for central laboratory testing.
