  • Publication number: 20250110860
    Abstract: Techniques, which may be embodied herein as systems, computing devices, methods, algorithms, software, code, computer readable media, or the like, are described herein for comparing a set of metrics generated during a simulated user interaction with a website to metrics generated by observing real user interactions with the website. Simulated user interactions with a website can be used to diagnose a website's performance issues, but it can be difficult to determine whether the simulated interactions reflect the experience of real users. In addition, the simulated user interactions can be challenging to contextualize because the number of observed real user interactions may significantly outnumber the simulated interactions. A graphical user interface can help with the interpretation of these website interactions by using the real user interactions to properly contextualize the simulated results.

  • Publication number: 20240281590
    Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure may automatically detect and correct incorrect observation value types when it is possible to do so without loss of clinical data fidelity. The techniques may be applied to a medical information transfer system, such an HL7 clinical data pipeline. If the corrected data type is a compound type comprising multiple discrete components, the observation value may be parsed out to the compound data type.

  • Publication number: 20240257147
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to verifying a product's identity. In particular. this disclosure relates to a method for verifying a product's identity. The method comprises a labelling step that comprises generating a first oligonucleotide sequence and calculating a first hash value of the first oligonucleotide sequence. The first hash value is associated with the product. The method then comprises synthesising the first oligonucleotide sequence and adding the synthesised oligonucleotide sequence to the product. Then follows a testing step. which comprises sequencing a second oligonucleotide sequence from the product. calculating a second hash value of the sequenced oligonucleotide sequence. and comparing the second hash value to the first hash value associated with the product to verify the product's identity.

  • Publication number: 20230419331
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for creating an oligonucleotide sequence to represent digital data. A processor selects from a first set of multiple oligonucleotide sequences one oligonucleotide sequence for each of multiple parts of the data. The multiple oligonucleotide sequences are configured to generate an electric time-domain signal from one oligonucleotide sequence that is distinguishable from the electric time-domain signal from another oligonucleotide sequence. The electric time-domain signal is indicative of an electric characteristic of one or more nucleotides present in an electric sensor at any one point in time. The processor then combines the one oligonucleotide sequence for each of multiple parts of the data into a single oligonucleotide sequence that represents a single oligonucleotide molecule to encode the digital data.

  • Publication number: 20220304320
    Abstract: A traditional method for making, pasteurizing and packaging preservative-free, fresh food product comprising chickpeas, such as hummus, that involves a continuous process in which the temperature does not deviate more than 50° C. from the cooking step until just prior to packaging. In one embodiment, the method comprises cooking the chickpeas from 110° C. to 125° C. while under pressure, which is followed by adding raw ingredients to the cooked chickpeas at a temperature ranging from 75° C. to 85° C., which is immediately followed by a pasteurization at approximately 75° C. Only after this pasteurization step is the temperature reduced in a multi-step cooling process. The as-made, fresh and preservative-free food product comprising chickpeas, such as hummus, is packaged into containers by transferring the finished food product that is maintained at a temperature ranging from 5° C. to 10° C.

In one embodiment, the method comprises cooking the chickpeas from 110° C. to 125° C. while under pressure within the closed vessel, which is followed by adding raw ingredients to the cooked chickpeas at a temperature ranging from 75° C. to 85° C., which is immediately followed by a pasteurization at a temperature ranging from 70° C. to 80° C., such as approximately 75° C. Only after this pasteurization step is the temperature reduced in a multi-step cooling process. A fresh, preservative-free, fresh food product comprising chickpeas, such as hummus made according to the present method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210033620
    Abstract: This invention discloses a pretreatment approach for blood and bodily fluids to remove unwanted protein interferences in the measurement of analytes. Enzymes either contained in a cartridge or immobilized on a solid support break down proteins that complex with the analyte to shield it from detection. This pretreatment significantly enhances the detectability of analytes and does not require subsequent clean-up steps that would normally be required to ensure the functionality of the analysis method, thereby, creating a simple yet powerful approach for sample pretreatment in a variety of settings ranging from a complex laboratory infrastructure to a field deployable application.

  • Publication number: 20160169114
    Abstract: A shield assembly for shielding a housing of an electro-mechanical device from a hot body includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed in a spaced apart relation from each other. A third sidewall extends between the first sidewall and the second sidewall to define a space therebetween. The first, second, and third sidewalls are configured to receive the housing of the electro-mechanical device in the space defined therebetween. The shield assembly further includes a backing plate extending laterally from a bottom end of at least one of the first, second, and third sidewalls. The backing plate is releasably fastened with a bottom end of the housing. The shield assembly further includes a tab member extending away from a top end of at least one of the first, second, and third sidewalls. The tab member is releasably fastened with a bracket associated with the housing of the electro-mechanical device.

  • Patent number: 8968571
    Abstract: A gas flotation separator for use in horizontal tanks, such as those used for oil storage on board Floating Production Storage and Off-loading (FPSO) vessels, includes dividing the tank into a plurality of chambers operating in series. Prior to entering each chamber, the contaminated aqueous phase is mixed with a stream containing gas bubbles to aid in flocculation and flotation of the immiscible phase contaminant. The gas bubble recycle stream can be generated by injecting a controlled rate of a pressurized gas into a liquid stream of the clean produced water in a process external to the tank or by induction of a gas phase internal to the tank. The mixture flows into the first chamber and impinges on an angled inlet water weir. A portion of the immiscible phase and the gas phase rises to the top of the chamber while the remaining immiscible contaminants flow downward with the aqueous phase to the bottom of the chamber.
