Abstract: A spinal joint distraction system for treating a facet joint including articular surfaces having a contour is disclosed and may include a delivery device including a generally tubular structure adapted to engage a facet joint, an implant adapted to be delivered through the delivery device and into the facet joint, the implant comprising two members arranged in opposed position, and an implant distractor comprising a generally elongate member adapted to advance between the two members of the implant causing separation of the members and distraction of the facet joint, wherein the implant is adapted to conform to the shape of the implant distractor and/or the articular surfaces of the facet upon being delivered to the facet joint. Several embodiments of a system, several embodiments of an implant, and several methods are disclosed including a method for interbody fusion.

Abstract: A cutter head includes a first member, a cutting bit, and a second member. The first member includes a first end and a second end and includes a first mass. The cutting bit is coupled to the first member proximate the second end. The cutting bit includes a cutting edge rotatable about the axis. The second member is rotatable about the axis and includes a second mass eccentrically positioned with respect to the axis. Rotation of the second mass causes the first member and the cutting bit to oscillate.

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: According to some embodiments, a system and method for dispensing a floor coating in a specified ratio of multiple components is disclosed. The system and method may set and maintain a desired ratio of the multiple components by controlling, with a controller, a drive rate of respective pumps configured for propelling the components from a reservoir to a mixer or a dispenser. The controller may be responsive to at least one of a measured actual drive rate, an environmental condition, an actual usage of each component, and an operational parameter of the system, for adjusting a drive rate of the respective pumps to compensate for discrepancies that may affect the ratio of the multiple components.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies and methods of use thereof. The antibodies as disclosed herein bind to CD163+ on cells, such as on macrophages. These antibodies can be used in methods of treatment, such as methods of treating cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, devices and systems for associating consumable data with an assay consumable used in a biological assay. Provided are assay systems and associated consumables, wherein the assay system adjusts one or more steps of an assay protocol based on consumable data specific for that consumable. Various types of consumable data are described, as well as methods of using such data in the conduct of an assay by an assay system. The present invention also relates to consumables (e.g., kits and reagent containers), software, data deployable bundles, computer-readable media, loading carts, instruments, systems, and methods, for performing automated biological assays.

Abstract: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine with a flowpath. This turbine engine assembly includes a fuel injection system. The fuel injection system includes a first fuel injector and a second fuel injector. The fuel injection system is configured to provide the first fuel injector with first fuel and provide the second fuel injector with second fuel. The first fuel may be or include ammonia. The second fuel is different than the first fuel. The second fuel may be or include hydrogen gas. The first fuel injector is configured to direct the first fuel into the flowpath for combustion. The second fuel injector is configured to direct the second fuel into the flowpath for combustion.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: Provided herein is a one-step method for chelating actinium-225 to a construct comprising a chelator linked to a biomolecule, such as, an antibody or monoclonal antibody, via a bifunctional ligand in, for example, a 3-arm configuration. Also provided are methods for increasing the radiochemical yield of an actinium-225-chelant-biomolecule complex and for producing a high specific activity actinium-225 complex. The chelation is performed at a physiological temperature, about 37° C. Also provided are high specific activity actinium-225 complexes, that is, actinium-225 chelated to the chelator-biomolecule construct and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Further provided are methods of treating a neoplastic disease or disorder with the actinium-225 complexes.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for extracting a target element, such as lithium, from a brine. For example, some aspects include a method of extracting lithium including mixing a first brine with an extraction agent to form a first solution having a lithium complex, the lithium complex including lithium bound to the extraction agent. The method can further include extracting the lithium from the first solution and recycling the extraction agent to be used in a further extraction process. In some aspects, extracting the lithium from the first solution includes adsorbing, via an adsorbent media, the lithium complex from the first solution, removing the lithium complex from the adsorbent media, and separating the lithium from the extraction agent in the lithium complex.

Backed up data is organized into one or more stripes, wherein a stripe comprises a set of pages across all available flash memory devices which have a same block and page address. Responsive to encountering an error in a block of flash memory during back-up of a particular stripe of data, the particular stripe of data is rewritten starting at a next available page address and excluding a page of flash memory for the block having the error. Subsequent stripes of data in the block having the error are written to pages excluding the page of flash memory for the block having the error.
