Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating graphical displays of analyte data and/or health information. In some implementations, the graphical displays are generating based on a self-referential dataset that are modifiable based on identified portions of the data. The modified graphical displays can indicate features in the analyte data of a host.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fan blade (3) made of composite material the fibrous reinforcement of which comprises first strands (12) having a first stiffness, second strands (13) having a second stiffness and third strands (14) having a third stiffness lower than the first stiffness and greater than the second stiffness, the blade comprising a first portion (15) comprising only first strands (12), a second portion (16) comprising only second strands (13) and a third portion (17) which is located between the first and second portions (15, 16) and which comprises both first, second and third strands (12, 13, 14); there is a gradual transition of properties at the interface between the different portions (15, 16, 17).

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a streaming data processing system that defers processing of some data based on a determined importance of the data. A streaming data processing system can ingest a data stream that contains multiple events, and can extract data field values from individual events and process the data field values to determine event importance. The streaming data processing system can then do further processing and indexing of high importance events, and can generate a storage prefix for each low importance event that determines where to store the low importance event in a data storage system. The streaming data processing system can then process queries by retrieving the indexed high importance events, and can extract the data field values from a high importance event to determine the storage prefix for retrieving corresponding low importance events from the data storage system.

Abstract: Methods, servers, and computer programs for processing multiple data records in response to a database request with search indications are provided. The server retrieves multiple data records with parameter values in the fields which correspond to the search indications indicated by the database request, determines weight values for at least two of the fields based on the corresponding parameter values of the at least two fields, calculates an aggregated score for at least a number of the retrieved data records based on the determined weight values, and returns at least a subset of the retrieved data records to the client based on the calculated aggregated scores.

Abstract: A machine data validation system can track and validate the integrity of machine data generated by machines. The system can generate hashes for the items and batch hashes that can be validated using an immutable data store, such as a blockchain. The system can implement a tiered blockchain structure to efficiently store and reference the hashes to validate the machine data at different times or upon request from an end-user.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes automated systems and methods for handling objects, such as culture plates or dishes. For example, in one embodiment, the present disclosure describes an automated stacker and de-stacker comprising a clamping mechanism, a lift pad, a pair of pins, and a cabinet. A stack of culture plates may be stored in the cabinet. During a stacking operation, the pair of pins may be raised to stop a culture plate traveling along a conveyor track. Once stopped, the culture plate may be raised above the conveyor track by the lift pad and clamped by the clamping mechanism. During a de-stacking operation, the clamping mechanism may be opened, and the culture plate may be lowered onto the conveyor track by the lift pad.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe arrangement comprises a holder for application to a surface, a housing mounted over the holder and a probe carrier. The housing has an inner guide surface which comprises a portion of a sphere and the probe carrier comprises a disc having an outer guide surface around the outer rim of the disc which comprises a portion of sphere. The probe carrier is slidable within the housing with the inner and outer guide surfaces in contact. An ultrasound probe is carried by the probe carrier and makes contact with the surface, e.g. skin. This arrangement enables the probe to be held in a desired orientation so that a clinician can work hands-free. The disc design enables different probe designs to be used with the same basic holder and housing design.
