  • Patent number: 12248501
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to surveying security environments. A subject index that includes entries may be generated based on a survey of a content system. A question of a client may be compared to entries in the subject index. A prompt associated with the content system may be generated based on the entries, the data sources, or the question. Query models may be employed to obtain data associated with the question from the data sources. Other prompts may be generated based on the data from the data sources to generate candidate answers based on the question and the data from the data sources. An evaluation prompt that includes the candidate answers and the question may be generated to rank the candidate answers for correctness. Answers may be determined based on the ranking of the candidate questions such that top ranked candidate answers are provided to the client.

  • Publication number: 20220233942
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a system and method of automated object launching, for replicating ball trajectories, for example with a baseball. The system receives an input from a user that includes trajectory information and then launches an object based on that trajectory. The system includes subsystems that control the orientation of the object to be launched and the position of the system itself. The system also includes a results tracking database to provide analytics and the like for the user.

  • Publication number: 20160289336
    Abstract: The invention relates the use of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) gene copy number and HER2 mRNA levels as biomarkers to identify cancers which will respond to treatment with a specific binding member comprising a HER2 antigen binding site engineered into a structural loop region of a constant domain, e.g. CH3 domain, of the specific binding member, and specific binding members which compete with such a binding member for binding to HER2.

  • Publication number: 20070027234
    Abstract: Provided is a composition comprising fatty acid bis-amide, inorganic particulate such as pumice, cellulosic particulate, thermoplastic and maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin. The combination of an ethylene bis-amide and a minor amount of pumice produces cellulosic-thermoplastic composite that has superior extrusion properties over conventional metal stearate/ethylene bis-stearamide (EBS) compositions such as improved flex strength and resistance to water absorption.

  • Publication number: 20050131501
    Abstract: A method for preventing and/or treating infection includes transitioning the temperature in a suspected area of infection based on an assessment of the existence and/or likelihood of infection in a localized area. Also, an apparatus for transitioning the temperature in a suspected area of infection, which includes a heat transfer element for transferring thermal energy to or from the suspected area of infection, and a thermal energy source for supplying thermal energy to the heat transfer element. The apparatus may also include one or more positioning elements and one or more temperature detecting elements. Activation of the apparatus may be manual or automated, and may rely on a feedback loop, or interaction with one or more external devices.

  • Patent number: 6126073
    Abstract: A transaction printer includes the MICR encoding of indicia at a precise location called the amount field. In order to accomplish this, an optical sensor is provided in a check processing machine at a point-of-sale to detect the edge of the check and stage it at a known location from the thermal, MICR print head. A clutch mechanism is used to engage the print head with a platen and to engage a read head with the check, so that indicia can be sequentially imprinted and read within the check processing machine in a single, sequential operation that moves the check from a home position to a MICR print position, and subsequently to a MICR read position.
