  • Publication number: 20230241454
    Abstract: Methods for automatically monitoring operation of a motion tracking system and actuating based on the operation, the motion tracking system comprising both a computing device, and a plurality of inertial measurement units adapted to be arranged on a body of a user. The computing device processes measurements of the units and sound captured by at least one microphone to provide flags related to the motion tracking procedure with regards to the motion input and the sound input, and actuates when motion-related flags and sound-related flags have been provided.

  • Patent number: 11621055
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system, such as for characterizing at least one microorganism-related condition, can include: determining a set of associations (e.g., positive associations such as positive correlations, negative associations such as negative correlations, non-associations such as no correlation or minimal correlation, etc.) between a set of microorganism taxa and at least one microorganism-related condition; determining a set of reference features (e.g., reference abundance ranges, etc.) for the set of microorganism taxa; and determining one or more significance index metrics based on the set of associations and the set of reference features.

  • Publication number: 20210377196
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a system includes a messaging platform configured to facilitate an exchange of messages between user accounts of the messaging platform, and a client application configured to communicate with the messaging platform. The messaging platform is configured to store a UI process flow relating to the on-boarding process, where the UI process flow defines a flow logic for a plurality of nodes representing tasks to be executed by the client application, and each node is defined by one or more generic UI components and configuration data that configures the generic UI components to render UI objects on a user interface of the client application. The messaging platform is configured to modify one or more of the tasks or the flow logic to change at least one aspect of the on-boarding process without requiring the client application to implement a software update.

  • Publication number: 20210074384
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system (e.g, for metabolism-related prediction) can include: generating an enzyme dataset; generating a substrate dataset; generating a metabolism model such as for predicting an enzyme feature associated with metabolism of a query molecule, based on the enzyme dataset and/or the substrate dataset; determining a microorganism taxon (and/or microorganism taxa) S140 associated with the metabolism of the query molecule based on one or more predicted enzyme features of the metabolism model (e.g., machine learning model; etc.) and/or determining a query molecule score (e.g., drug score) for one or more users based on the microorganism taxon.
