Abstract: According to the disclosure, a target analyte detection cartridge includes a sample chamber into which sample is inserted, a metering chamber connected to the sample chamber to meter a predetermined amount of sample, a mixing chamber connected to the metering chamber to receive a magnet bead, and a waste chamber connected to the metering chamber. The metering chamber has one side connected to each of the sample chamber and the mixing chamber and another side connected to the waste chamber. A first pneumatic flow path to which pneumatic pressure is provided is connected to a waste flow path that joins the other side of the metering chamber to connect the metering chamber and the waster chamber.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus may be provided for providing a medical product assistant to identify a medical product. A first message may be received from a user interface. The first message may indicate a request from a user to identify an object. A portion of the object may be determined using the device's camera. A confidence level associated with a medical product may be generated. The generated confidence level may indicate confidence that the object is the medical product. The generated confidence level may be based on the portion of the object and a product detection model. The product detection model may have been trained using synthetic product detection data that may comprise at least a computer-generated image of the medical product. The object may be identified as the medical product when the confidence level satisfies a threshold.

Abstract: System and method for displaying a user interface of an evaluation system configured to evaluate predicted answers generated by a machine learning system. For example, the method includes receiving textual data and a predicted answer to a question associated with a text object. The text object includes a structured data field of the textual data. The predicted answer includes a confidence level. The confidence level is determined by a machine learning system. In response to determining the confidence level being larger than or equal to a predetermined confidence threshold, the predicted answer and a reference is stored in a storage for retrieval and display. The reference indicates a location of the text object in the textual data. In response to determining the confidence level being smaller than the predetermined confidence threshold, the question and the text object associated with the question is displayed.

Abstract: A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.

Abstract: A first part of a fluid connector system for delivery of pressurized breathing gas to a patient from a respiratory pressure therapy device. The first part has a connector portion with a first opening for a fluid flow, a sealing surface around a periphery of the first opening, and a retaining portion axially aligned with the sealing surface. The sealing surface is configured to axially receive a seal portion extending around a periphery of a second opening to form a face seal with a second part of the fluid connector system. The retaining portion is configured to be releasably engaged with a retaining portion of the second part of the fluid connector system.

Abstract: Support structures are used in certain additive fabrication processes to permit fabrication of a greater range of object geometries. For additive fabrication processes with materials that are subsequently sintered into a final part, an interface layer is formed between the object and support in order to inhibit bonding between adjacent surfaces of the support structure and the object during sintering.

Abstract: Methods of production of edible filamentous fungal biomat formulations are provided as standalone protein sources and/or protein ingredients in foodstuffs as well as a one-time use or repeated use self-contained biomat reactor comprising a container with at least one compartment and placed within the compartment(s), a feedstock, a fungal inoculum, a gas-permeable membrane, and optionally a liquid nutrient medium.

Abstract: A medical method of automatically improving signals received from a patient's physiological system can include delivering stimulation signals to a nerve pathway of a patient with electrical pulses via electrodes placed over the nerve pathway to generate a plurality of resultant electrical waveforms (EPs) based on a plurality of electrophysiological responses (ERs); recording the plurality of resultant EPs; generating an ensemble average waveform (EA), the generating comprising averaging a subset of the plurality of ERs; and denoising the EA, the denoising comprising applying a wavelet transform to the EA.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for synchronizing data transfers across clock domains for using heads-up indications. An integrated circuit includes a first-in first-out buffer (FIFO); a memory controller configured to operate in a first clock domain and coupled to the FIFO, the first clock domain associated with a first clock signal; a data fabric configured to operate in a second clock domain and coupled to the FIFO, the second clock domain associated with a second clock signal, a second frequency of the second clock signal being different from a first frequency of the first clock signal; and a controller coupled to the FIFO. In some instances, the controller determines a phase relationship between the first clock signal and the second clock signal; monitors one or more first clock edges of the first clock signal and one or more second clock edges of the second clock signal; and sends a first heads-up signal to the memory controller.
