Abstract: Temperature-controllable reagent cartridges and systems for controlling the temperature in such reagent cartridges are provided. An example such system may include a reagent cartridge having reagent reservoirs located at least in part within an interior plenum volume of a cartridge housing. In such an example system, each reagent reservoir may be defined, in part, by a sidewall, and a first reagent reservoir may be spaced apart from a second reagent reservoir to form a fluid flow passage between corresponding sidewalls thereof. A fluid inlet through the cartridge housing may be provided that fluidically connects the interior plenum volume with a fluid supply port of a temperature control system of an analysis instrument when the reagent cartridge is received by the analysis instrument; a fluid outlet through the cartridge housing that fluidically connects the interior plenum volume with a fluid return port of the temperature control system may also be provided.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and system for handling immersive services with feature tags in an 3GPP IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) and 3GPP mission critical services (MCX). A user equipment uses the media tags, feature tags with unique IMS communication service identifier (ICSI) and IMS application reference identifier (IARI) to communicate with the IMS network for determining the immersive services in the communication. Accordingly, a method includes: performing, a registration with a network for handling immersive call services based on feature tags included in a session initiation protocol (SIP) REGISTER request; determining whether the network provides a provision for the handling of immersive call services based on an SIP REGISTER response; and sending an SIP INVITE request including feature tags to a second client device via the network based on determining that the network provides the provision of handling immersive media streams.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to correct errors in measuring audiences of over-the-top media are disclosed. In some examples, the methods and apparatus identify a first set of data from a first data source, the first set of data different from a second set of data from a second data source. In some examples, the methods and apparatus generate a third set of data based on the second set of data from the second data source. In some examples, the methods and apparatus generate a model based on a difference between the first set of data and the third set of data. In some examples, the methods and apparatus apply the model to the first set. In some examples, the methods and apparatus assign viewership to an impression associated with the first set of data by imputing viewership associated with the second set of data to the first set of data.
