  • Publication number: 20230161152
    Abstract: A visual perception device has a look-up table stored in a laser driver chip. The look-up table includes relational gain data to compensate for brighter areas of a laser pattern wherein pixels are located more closely than areas where the pixels are further apart and to compensate for differences in intensity of individual pixels when the intensities of pixels are altered due to design characteristics of an eye piece.

  • Publication number: 20220341930
    Abstract: Assays, arrays, and methods for distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection are disclosed. The antibiotic crisis is in part driven by over prescription of antibiotics. There is a tendency, particular in pediatrics, to give an antibiotic even for viral infections. Thus, embodiments herein are directed to the problem of distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

  • Publication number: 20220170935
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for classifying how a subject having a cancer will respond to immunotherapeutic (IT) therapy based on the subject's immunosignature or frameshift signature. Also provided herein are methods for classifying a subject having a cancer as having a good prognosis or a poor prognosis based on the subject's immunosignature or frameshift signature.

  • Publication number: 20220170107
    Abstract: Methods for treating breast cancer, specifically cancers resistant to treatment With one or more known breast cancer treatment drugs, and related patient selection strategies for predicting patient response to drug therapy, such strategies including detecting tile presence or absence in a patient of one or more of PIK3CA gene amplification a mutation in PIK3CA, and a decrease in PTEN protein expression, and treating a patient positive for the presence of one or more of same by administering to the subject a pan-ErbB tifrosine kinase inhibitor.

  • Publication number: 20210164991
    Abstract: A method of inducing a generalized immune response, includes administering to a subject an immunologically effective amount of one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46, thereby inducing a generalized immune response to infection by a pathogen in a subject. A prophylactic or therapeutic composition for inducing a generalized immune response, includes an immunologically effective amount of one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46. A method of distinguishing a subject infected with a pathogen from an uninfected subject, includes detecting an antibody in the subject that selectively binds one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46, wherein the presence of the antibody indicates that the subject is infected with the pathogen. A general method to discover broadly protective components for a vaccine is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10994834
    Abstract: An active vibration control system for an aircraft includes a gearbox operably coupling a power source and a component rotatable about an axis. The gearbox includes a flexible region which allows flexure between a first stage and a second stage. At least one active vibration control actuator is arranged in vibrational communication with the flexible region to counteract vibrations transmitted between the power source and the rotatable component.

  • Patent number: 10501174
    Abstract: A rotor hub assembly includes an open rotor hub assembly with an open rotor hub and a mounting plate. The open rotor hub includes an annular base portion with periphery and a plurality of rotary member portions arranged about the annular base portion that each define an aperture for receiving a rotor blade. The mounting plate spans the annular base portion and is coupled to the annular base portion by a resilient member to accommodate radially expansion and contraction of the annular base portion according to loads exerted on the rotor hub by rotor blades seated in the apertures of the rotary member portions.
