  • Publication number: 20250329410
    Abstract: Systems and methods to assess peptide sequences can incorporate a language model to yield latent representations. Biological properties can be predicted based on latent representations of peptide sequences. Systems and methods to assess immunity status can incorporate one or more models and classifiers to predict health status. Various systems and methods can predict whether an individual is having an active immunological response. Various systems and methods can predict whether an individual is having or has had a particular type of immunological response, such as a pathogenic infection, vaccination, or immunological disorder.

  • Patent number: 9193997
    Abstract: Methods are provided for the detection and analysis of clonality in a cell population, where parallel sequencing is applied to a nucleic acid sample obtained from the cell population, optionally a population of lymphocytes. Replicate samples are amplified, and sequenced, where identification of coincident sequences in two or more replicates is indicative of clonal expansion.

  • Patent number: 5410978
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing a pressurized liquid to a launch tube for launng projectiles into a liquid medium. The device comprises an elastomeric bladder disposed inside a cylindrical bypass tube. The bypass tube is hollow with a sealing ring disposed on the inner surface of the tube. One end of the bypass tube is open to the liquid medium, and the other end of the tube is hydraulically connected to the launch tube. The elastomeric bladder is of generally cylindrical shape with an annular thinned portion. The open end of the bladder is hydraulically connected to a valve which controls charging of the bladder, storage of liquid within the bladder and discharge of the bladder. The bladder expands when it is filled with pressurized seawater thereby causing the thinned portion of the bladder to contact the sealing ring and seal the bypass tube to prevent the external liquid medium from communicating with the launch tube through the bypass tube.

  • Patent number: 5200572
    Abstract: An elastomeric impulse energy storage and transfer system comprising an amulator body of elastomeric material, the body having an opening at a base portion thereof, the body having in elevation a frusto-ellipsoidal configuration, and the body taken along a sectional plane parallel with the base portion having an ellipsoidal configuration, the body being adapted to receive and discharge fluid through the opening, the body being expandable and contractible in response to receiving and discharging, respectively, the fluid, the body being adapted to retain the frusto-ellipsoidal and ellipsoidal configurations when in an expanded condition, and a submarine projectile launch system having the accumulator body as a component thereof.
