Abstract: A system and method for analyzing bodily fluid include a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample, an image capture device generating an image of the bodily fluid sample comprising a plurality of fields of view. An image processor is programmed to determine a biofilm in the bodily fluid sample from the image, determine a biofilm area or volume within each of the plurality of fields of view to form a plurality of biofilm areas, determine a total biofilm area or total biofilm volume by adding the plurality of biofilm areas, determine a first value corresponding to a comparison of the total biofilm area or the total biofilm volume and a total volume of the bodily fluid sample, and classify the first value into a classification. An analyzer, using the classification, displays an indicator on a display for indicating the classification of the biofilm within the bodily fluid sample.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide a flat conductive fluid sensor cable capable of manufacture in long lengths comprising a flexible substrate, two or more flat conductors, and a fluid-permeable cover material arranged to allow a conductive fluid to form an electrically conductive path between the two or more conductors when conductive fluid contacts the conductive fluid sensor cable.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for enhancing the nuclear reprogramming of somatic cells to become induced pluripotent stern cells. In particular, the methods disclosed herein involve the use of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMP). In certain embodiments the DAMPs are aluminum compositions such as aluminum hydroxide. Such DAMPs have unexpectedly and surprisingly been found to enhance the nuclear reprogramming efficiency of the reprogramming factors commonly used to induce somatic cells to become induced pluripotent stern cells. Accordingly, this disclosure describes methods of nuclear reprogramming as well as cells obtained from such methods along with therapeutic methods for using such cells for the treatment of disease amendable to treatment by stem cell therapy; as well as kits for such uses.

Abstract: One or more operations (e.g., conditioning and/or curating) are performed on a data set to improve one or more quality attributes of the data set. Information about the one or more operations performed on the data set is stored as metadata and linked to the data set. One or more data quality metrics (e.g., data validity and/or timeliness) are computed from at least a portion of the stored metadata. The one or more computed data quality metrics are utilized to value the data set.

Abstract: Disclosed is an orthogonal access control system based on cryptographic operations provided by multi-hop proxy re-encryption (PRE) that strictly enforces only authorized access to data by groups of users, scalable to large numbers of users. Scalable delegation of decryption authority can be shared with a plurality of members of a group whether those members be users or devices, and members of a group can further create sub groups and delegate decryption authority to those members, whether users or devices. Members are granted access via generation of transform keys, and membership or access can be revoked merely be deleting the transform key—no elimination of the encrypted data, regardless of its storage location, is needed.

Abstract: Enclosures for electrical distribution systems include a height adjuster enclosure that provides connector buses and bus lines that rise from bus lines in a main terminal enclosure to connect to another enclosure such as a meter stack enclosure through the bus lines in the height adjuster enclosure. The bus lines in the height adjuster enclosure can include a three-phase bus having three vertical line conductor buses and a vertical neutral conductor bus that can be coupled to a feeder bus in the main terminal enclosure and a feeder bus in the meter stack enclosure.
