  • Publication number: 20250097272
    Abstract: A data processing system implements techniques for automatically generating visualizations of content for meetings on an online communications platform. The visualizations are interactive and encourage participant engagement. The system automatically generates the visualizations based on a transcript of the meeting and other information associated with the meeting as the meeting is taking place. The system determines a meeting category based on this information and suggests a visualization layout based on the meeting category. The system then automatically generates the visualization using a generative language model. The generative language model generates interactive visualization based on the suggested visualization layout and transcript of the meeting and other information associated with the meeting as the meeting.

  • Patent number: 12239445
    Abstract: An average coefficient of static friction between skin and paper is determined based on pinch-strength measurements and a corresponding maximum weight of bucket and water before slippage occurs. With the coefficient of static friction determined, a pinch-strength threshold for impairment uniquely determines the threshold for a weight of a pinch test apparatus using one or more common or household material(s), such as bucket and water. A patient using such apparatus at home can therefore put sufficient water in the bucket to reach this weight and see if they can lift the bucket or not, thereby determining whether or not impairment exists.

  • Publication number: 20250054728
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a vacuum chamber configured to produce a substantially atmospheric vacuum environment for plasma processing; a radio frequency (RF) power supply located outside of the vacuum chamber; an RF matching network operatively coupled to the RF power supply; and a plurality of electrodes mounted within the vacuum chamber, the plurality of electrodes configured to receive RF power signals from the RF power supply through the RF matching network. The RF power signals are simultaneously delivered to the plurality of electrodes during a sputtering operation. The plurality of electrodes and a set of electrical components are operative to manage the inductive and capacitive reactance for coupling the RF power signals to provide more desirable plasma coupling during the sputtering operation.

  • Publication number: 20230338955
    Abstract: Microdevices and methods provide for separating cells of a single type from a mixed biological sample containing multiple types of cells. A single microdevice may be configured to allow for separating out cells into multiple groupings, each grouping containing cells of only one cell type. Transfer of separated cells off the microdevice is performed by physical separation of part of the microdevice from a remainder of the microdevice. This step advantageously minimizes accidental cell losses in the transfer. Subsequent analysis may then be performed using non-microfluidic equipment and techniques.
