  • Publication number: 20250147962
    Abstract: A set of time-series information descriptive of one or more events occurring within a particular period of time is obtained. A frequency domain transformation is applied to the set of time-series information to obtain a frequency-domain representation of the set of time-series information comprising a plurality of frequency components. A dimensionally-reduced frequency-domain representation of the set of time-series information is determined based at least in part on a first subset of frequency components of the plurality of frequency components.

  • Publication number: 20250138597
    Abstract: A portable information handling system housing biases to the closed position by attracting a piece of ferromagnetic material disposed in a lid housing portion to a magnet in a speaker disposed in a main housing portion. A Hall sensor proximate the ferromagnetic material detects the speaker magnet in the closed position and communicates open or closed position detection through a flexible cable and hinge to an embedded controller in the main housing for execution of logic associated with open and closed positions, such as ACPI sleep and wake states.

  • Publication number: 20250124251
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for course of action (COA) analysis and execution. A method can include receiving COA data, coordinating, by an orchestrator service, simulation of performing COAs associated with the COA data, generating a graphical view of the simulation of the COAs including scores associated with each COA, implementing a COA of the COAs selected by the commander, receiving, from multiple applications information regarding a state of executing the COA, and providing a graphical view of the state of executing the COA including an overall map of a geographical region in which the COA is implemented, the graphical view including a dynamic location of the threat and threat mitigation activities, and a dynamic view of the LOS updated as the COA is implemented.

  • Publication number: 20250123695
    Abstract: A portable information handling system keyboard is tested for wear to determine reuse or recycling by subjecting the information handling system to visual inspection performed by a camera that includes an evaluation of key wear based in part on a keyboard language in a key lattice. The key lattice couples to a keyboard frame over a membrane having contact sensors and extends plural keyboard language members towards the membrane that identify by contact against the membrane the language of the plural keys in the keyboard lattice.

  • Patent number: 11278860
    Abstract: Chemical reactor (10) and method for cracking are disclosed. A process fluid is accelerated with axial impulse impellers (40A, 40B) to a velocity greater than Mach 1 and, in turn, generating a shock wave (90) in the process fluid by decelerating it in a static diffuser (70) having diverging diffuser passages (72). Temperature increase of the process fluid downstream of the shockwave cracks or splits molecules, such as hydrocarbons entrained in the process fluid, in a single pass, through a unidirectional flow path (F), within a single stage, without recirculating the process fluid for another pass through the same stage. In some embodiments, a system involving at least two turbomachine chemical reactors (110) may provide multiple successive stages of one or more axial impulse impellers (40A, 40B), paired with a diverging passage, static diffuser (70).

    Abstract: A balance piston seal assembly for a balance piston of a compressor is provided. The balance piston seal assembly may include a balance piston seal configured to be disposed about the balance piston such that an inner radial surface of the balance piston seal and an outer radial surface of the balance piston define a radial clearance therebetween. The balance piston seal assembly may also include a plurality of heaters in thermal communication with the balance piston seal and configured to heat and thermally expand the balance piston seal and thereby increase a radial length of the radial clearance.

  • Patent number: 10550158
    Abstract: Anti-peptide antibodies (APAs) are extremely important tools for biomedical research. Many important techniques, such as immunoblots, ELISA immunoassays, immunocytochemistry, and protein microarrays are intrinsically linked to APA function and completely dependent on APA quality. Unfortunately, not all commercially-available APAs have good antigen binding characteristics; as a result, researchers are often unable to perform high quality protein analysis experiments. This disclosure describes a new method for the scalable production of polyclonal APAs using recombinant antigens. These recombinant peptide antigens have several advantages over traditional peptide antigens which improve the ease and speed of antibody production. The recombinant antigens can be scalably produced and purified much faster than traditional synthetic peptide-conjugates.
