Abstract: Assays (100) may be performed with a luminometer (400) having a chassis (405) that may include a reaction vessel chamber (610). The luminometer (400) may also include a light passage (640) that intersects the reaction vessel chamber (610). The luminometer (400) may also include a cap (415) that, when in a closed configuration, prevents light emitted by external sources from entering the reaction vessel chamber (610) and from entering the light passage (640). The cap (415) may provide access to the reaction vessel chamber (610) when in an open configuration. The luminometer (400) may also include a calibration light source (460) optically coupled to one end of the light passage (640) and a light detector (630) optically coupled to another end of the light passage (640). The light detector (630) may include a sensing element for receiving light from the light passage (640).

Abstract: A luminometer (400) includes a light detector (630) configured to sense photons (135). The luminometer (400) includes an analog circuit (915a) configured to provide an analog signal (965) based on the photons (135) emitted from assay reactions over a time period and a counter circuit (915b) configured to provide a photon count (970) based on the photons (135) emitted from the assay reactions over the time period. The luminometer (400) includes a luminometer controller (905) configured to, in response to an analog signal value of the analog signal (965) being greater than a predetermined value, determine and report a measurement value of the photons (135) emitted from the assay reactions over the time period based on the analog signal value of the analog signal (965) and a linear function (1010). Optionally, the linear function (1010) is derived from a relationship between the analog signal (965) and the photon count (970).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for the generation of customizable insights using machine learning models. The method acquires data from one or more sources with different formats and data organization to extract events that each represent an interaction between a user and a service and classify the extracted events by adding labels to each of the extracted events. The method next projects the extracted events and generates the customized insights of events representing user interactions.

Abstract: A closing device includes an element which can be moved along a path, a drive, an operating element for detecting a closing request, and detector for detecting the position of an ID transmitter paired with the vehicle. The drive is designed to move the movable element along the path, and a closing movement of the movable element is started via the drive if the actuation of an operating element is detected, if an ID transmitter paired with the vehicle is detected in a first position region within a time window t following the actuation of the operating element, and if the ID transmitter paired with the vehicle is not detected in the first position region at least for a duration s, which begins at least within the time window t, after being detected in the first position region within the time window t.

Abstract: A panel-like/sheet-like finishing element (11) for covering floors and walls, for example in the renovation of old buildings, is provided with heat-insulating and sound-absorbing properties if its interior (15) is provided, between outer covering layers (12, 13), with channel-forming undulating supporting structures (16) filled with high-density coarse granules (21). The supporting structures (16) are connected to the covering layers (12, 13) along the vertex lines (17) so as to provide wet-strength action, and the interior (15), between these covering layers, is sealed by enclosing edging strips (19) to provide wet-strength action, with the simultaneous inclusion of moisture-tight, but vapour-permeable, supporting layers (20) on covering layers (12, 13). If this finishing element (11) is mounted vertically, the granule-filled channels (14) run horizontally.

Abstract: In order to automatically actuate a locking element of a vehicle, movement of an object in a region surrounding the vehicle is detected. If the detected movement corresponds to at least one predefined movement profile, the locking element is automatically actuated. If the detected movement does not correspond to the at least one predefined movement profile, a further predefined movement profile is produced depending on the detected movement.

Abstract: An interface device and method for testing a telecommunication circuit by utilizing a test cord that has a first end that is integrated with the interface device and a second end that terminates with a test connector. Upon insertion of the test connector into a test port of a connectivity block, the interface device may be configured to allow for monitoring of the telecommunication circuit, without disrupting the circuit. Similarly, the interface device may be configured to disrupt the telecommunication circuit and allow a user to examine both sides of the circuit.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering digital subscriber line (DSL) service to a subscriber. In a telecommunications network, the signal passing through a protector field is diverted to a cross connect block that can be selectively configured to establish a communication route between the cross connect block and a splitter selectively receiving a DSL signal. The combined signal is then placed back upon the network by the cross connect block, which directs the combined signal back to the protector field.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering digital subscriber line (DSL) service to a subscriber from a remote terminal of a telephone network. Included is a first route for delivering a telephone signal to the subscriber, and a second route for passing the telephone signal through a DSL system before delivering the signal to the subscriber. A disrupter is then used to selectively activate either the first or second route.
