  • Publication number: 20230402033
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for modifying language and/or recording settings of a computing device based on audio data. Audio data comprising speech may be received by a computing device. The computing device may process the audio data to determine one or more properties of speech of one or more users. Based on the one or more properties of the speech, language settings and/or recording settings may be modified. For example, subtitles may be displayed or removed, accessibility features may be implemented, different content may be displayed, and/or machine translation functions may be activated. Such language and/or recording settings may be stored in a user profile, which may be used by a variety of computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20230315211
    Abstract: Upon detection of a gesture, a current context of an environment in which the gesture is performed may be determined. The current context may be used to interpret the gesture to determine which of potentially a plurality of devices are to be controlled by the gesture and whether the gesture is configured to control the determined device(s) in the current context. The current context may also be used to determine whether to adjust a threshold for determining whether the gesture is intended as a control command. An aspect of the detected gesture may be compared to the threshold to determine whether the gesture is intended as a control command. If the gesture is intended as a control command, the determined device(s) may be controlled accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11634450
    Abstract: Provided herein are bifunctional compounds with a moiety (e.g., lenalidomide, thalidomide) that is a binder of an E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., Cereblon) and another moiety that is a binder of a target protein DOT1L to induce degradation of DOT1L. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional compounds, and methods of treating and/or preventing diseases (e.g., proliferative diseases, such as cancers). Provided also are methods of inducing the degradation of DOT1L by administering a bifunctional compound or composition described herein, wherein one component of the bifunctional compound is a binder of an E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., lenalidomide, thalidomide) and another component of the compound is a binder of the target protein DOT1L in a subject.

  • Patent number: 11603570
    Abstract: Disclosed are: (i) methods for identifying leukemia patients who (or leukemia cells that) do not exhibit an MLL-translocation, rearrangement or MLL-partial tandem duplication but who are nonetheless susceptible to treatment with DOT1L inhibitors; and (ii) methods for treating leukemia patients who (or inhibiting proliferation or inducing apoptosis of leukemia cells that) do not exhibit an MLL-translocation, rearrangement or MLL-partial tandem duplication with DOT1L inhibitors. The patients identified as susceptible and the patients (or cells) treated exhibit elevated expression of a IIOX cluster gene or of a HOX cluster-associated gene. Elevated expression of such genes can be measured, e.g.

  • Patent number: 11523864
    Abstract: An electrosurgical controller and related methods. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: placing a distal end of an electrosurgical wand in operational relationship with biological tissue; delivering energy to an active electrode of the electrosurgical wand. During delivering energy, the method may comprise: measuring a value indicative of flow of the energy to the active electrode; summing, over a first predetermined window of time, to create a first value indicative of energy provided to the active electrode; summing, over a second predetermined window of time, to create a second value indicative of energy provided to the active electrode. The method may further comprise: ceasing delivering energy responsive to the first value meeting or exceeding a predetermined value; and ceasing delivering energy responsive to the second value meeting or exceeding a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11525260
    Abstract: The disclosure presents a formwork system which utilizes Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) panels to create modular segments to form and reinforce concrete subgrade structures. The segments may be rearranged and bonded together to conform to intended dimensions of many subgrade structures. The segments are manufactured by cast molding, bonding or vacuum forming. The segments may include integrated FRP stanchions to prevent deflection of the panels during concrete placement. The stanchions also may be used for positioning structural steel or FRP rebar. FRP bars are permanently bonded to the interior sides of the panels inside the segments. In use, the assembled segments are filled with concrete. After the concrete is cured, the segments remain in place and function as external protection and reinforcement for the cured concrete.

  • Publication number: 20220307031
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to the administration of a KMT2D inhibitor for the treatment of a cancer. The present invention is based on the discovery that upon PI3K inhibition, KMT2D activity is upregulated, resulting in an increase in the expression of genes involved in breast cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for treating a subject that has cancer by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an KMT2D inhibitor.
