Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for assessing and optimizing cellular quality of a cell-based therapy that is being produced in an automated cell engineering system. The methods suitably include monitoring molecular characteristics of the cells before, during, and after the automated process to provide feedback to the process parameters. In embodiments, the cells being produced are Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells.

Abstract: Systems are described that include a number of different components to allow for industrial scale crop processing to be performed, and for the products and by-products to be used, sold or traded, in areas that may not have the infrastructure to do so, wherein system comprising: an external housing container, comprising: a plant material processing module; a stalk processing module comprising stalk processing equipment; a seed processing module; one or more mechanical separators and/or conveyors within one or more of the modules and/or connecting two or more of the modules; at least one computer processor; and at least one electronic component.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for transferring streaming media playback between streaming media devices. In an example embodiment, a user may be streaming content using a first media device. The user may then send a command to the first media device to transfer the streaming content to a second media device. The first media device may identify the second media device as being on a common network and transmit a wake command to the second media device as well as media playback state information indicating a playback position to resume playback. In some embodiments, the first media device may download the media playback state information onto a mobile device. The mobile device may then provide the media playback state information to the second media device to resume playback at the first media device's playback position.

Abstract: An optical electrode having a plurality of electrodes, including a recording electrode having a roughened surface and an optical light source configured to emit light, wherein at least a portion of the light impinges on the recording electrode. Also disclosed are methods of producing an optical electrode and an opto-electronic neural interface system.
