Abstract: An introduced autonomous aerial vehicle can include multiple cameras for capturing images of a surrounding physical environment that are utilized for motion planning by an autonomous navigation system. In some embodiments, the cameras can be integrated into one or more rotor assemblies that house powered rotors to free up space within the body of the aerial vehicle. In an example embodiment, an aerial vehicle includes multiple upward-facing cameras and multiple downward-facing cameras with overlapping fields of view to enable stereoscopic computer vision in a plurality of directions around the aerial vehicle. Similar camera arrangements can also be implemented in fixed-wing aerial vehicles.

Abstract: The present technology provides methods for treating pancreatic cancer using a MEK inhibitor and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. Also disclosed herein are methods for increasing patient responsiveness to chemotherapeutic and/or immunotherapeutic regimes for pancreatic cancer. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controller may have control elements configured to receive inputs from a user. A cover may be coupled to the controller. The cover may be movable between a closed position in which the control elements are covered and an open position in which the control elements are exposed. An antenna may be integrated in the cover. The antenna may be electrically connected to circuitry in the controller for communicating with a UAV. In some implementations, a conductive plane and/or an insulating plane may be integrated in the cover. In some implementations, a heatsink, a fan, and/or a support mechanism may be arranged on an under portion of the controller. In some implementations, a circuit board including a cutout may be arranged inside the controller.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for controlling the operation of a breathing assistance device for a user. The controller may include an input for receiving sensor data to measure at least one airflow parameter of the user's airflow; a memory unit that stores at least one machine learning model and at least one classifier or predictor; and a processor that is configured to perform measurements and to generate a control signal for adjusting the operation of the breathing assistance device for a current monitoring time period by: obtaining measured air pressure and/or airflow data and measured FOT data during a current monitoring time period; performing feature extraction on the measured data to obtain feature values that are used by the machine learning model employed by the at least one classifier or predictor to determine a property of the user; and adjusting the control signal based on the determined property.

Abstract: The present technology relates generally to methods and compositions for treating, preventing, and/or ameliorating p53-mutant cancers in a subject in need thereof, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer, by administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) inhibitor.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods for the treatment of a RAS-mutant cancer. In particular, the present technology relates to administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more TXNRD1 inhibitors to a subject diagnosed with, or at risk for a RAS-mutant cancer (e.g., RAS-mutant pancreatic cancer).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods for treating or ameliorating acute myeloid leukemia in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the present disclosure provides a method comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one agent that suppresses Trim28 activity.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for adoptive cell therapy comprising engineered immune cells that express a uPAR-specific chimeric antigen receptor. Also disclosed herein are methods for using the engineered immune cells of the present technology to treat or ameliorate the effects of cancer and senescence-associated pathologies (e.g., lung fibrosis, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, liver fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, aging, or osteoarthritis) by selectively targeting senescent cells. Also provided herein are methods for detecting the senescent cell burden in a patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using blockchain data for automated underwriting and product issuance are provided. A request is received, via a website, for a personalized quote for a product. The requestor is identified and blockchain data related to the requestor is gathered. The blockchain data includes data pertinent to the personalized quote. The personalized quote is determined based at least in part upon the gathered blockchain data. The personalized quote is then presented via the website.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods for ameliorating or treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In particular, the present technology relates to administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more compositions that inhibit the vitamin B6 pathway to a subject diagnosed with, or at risk for AML.

Abstract: Systems for monitoring a confined space include image sensors, such as cameras, and access control devices, such as intercoms and scanning devices, positioned within the interior and external to the confined space. Sensors for detecting hazardous materials, light sources, and audio output devices, such as speakers, may also be positioned within the confined space. Equipment within the confined space may be explosion proof or intrinsically safe and rated for use in hazardous areas. A first single electrical cable, such as a multi-core cable, may engage all of the system components external to the confined space to power components. A second single electrical cable may engage all of the components within the confined space to the power components. A monitoring station may receive video, audio, sensor, and access data from the system equipment and generate alarms and notifications responsive to unauthorized access attempts, hazardous materials, or irregular user incidents.

Abstract: A multi-tenant virtual network-aware storage array device is disclosed and includes a storage array manager component for storing and managing data associated with a plurality of tenants. The storage array manager component is configured to provide a plurality of storage entities, where each of the plurality of storage entities is associated with a tenant of the plurality of tenants. The storage array manager component generates a virtual network instance (“VNI”) for a first tenant, where the VNI is associated with a first storage entity and with a virtual network identifier (“VNID”) identifying the VNI. In addition, a virtual network tunnel endpoint (“VTEP”) for the VNI is generated. The storage array manager component encapsulates content relating to the first storage entity with the VNID for presentation to a first tenant system of the first tenant over a transport network via the VTEP.
