Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing, a container disposed in the housing, an activation mechanism, a needle insertion mechanism, and a fluid flow path. The container has an inner volume to contain a medicament which is urged out of the container by the activation mechanism. The needle insertion mechanism includes an actuation assembly adapted to insert a needle and a cannula to deliver the medicament from the container and a valve assembly. The fluid flow connection is coupled with the container and the needle insertion mechanism and is adapted to allow the medicament to flow from the container to the needle insertion mechanism. The valve assembly is repeatedly movable between at least a valve open position and a valve closed position to selectively allow and restrict the medicament to flow through the needle and/or the cannula.

Abstract: A new CRISPR-associated (Cas) protein, termed “CasM,” is described, as well as polynucleotides encoding the same and methods of using CasM for site-specific genome engineering. CasM proteins are capable of targeting and cleaving single-stranded RNA.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing sentiment analysis of content. In order to determine the overall sentiment of content, a request is received by a sentiment analyzer, which then identifies a content identification number and retrieves comments associated with the content identification number. The sentiment analyzer pre-processes the comments, which includes removing all personal identifying information from the comments. The sentiment analyzer sends the pre-processed comments to a natural language processing service, and in turn, receives sentiment indications corresponding to the comments provided. Based on the sentiment scores, the sentiment analyzer generates a sentiment analysis and displays the sentiment analysis in the graphical user interface generated by the sentiment analyzer.

Abstract: A method for controlling a dual fuel engine system includes estimating a total indicated engine load, where the total indicated engine load is based on a sum of a measured engine power and a power loss estimate. The method further includes determining a total fueling amount based on an engine speed and the total indicated engine load, where the total fueling amount includes a gas fueling amount and a diesel fueling amount. The method also includes controlling the dual fuel engine system using the total fueling amount.

Abstract: A method of printing a multi-material part in a layer-wise manner with an extrusion-based 3D printer includes providing a sliced digital model of a multi-material part and determining a number of materials in each of the slices of the digital mode. The method includes utilizing a digital model of a purge tower having N subdivisions having a closed geometry, wherein N is the number of print heads needed to print the part that is greater than or equal to three, each adjacent subdivision contact one another along an interface and assigning each print head to one subdivision and to tool paths forming the one subdivision in each layer. The method includes reassigning the assigned subdivision within the purge tower of an inactive print head in a layer to a print head that is active in the layer of the multi-material part.
