Abstract: Provided herein are methods for making a crystalline form of N-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-5-(ethyl (tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)amino)-4-methyl-4?-(morpholinomethyl)-[1,1?-biphenyl]-3-carboxamide hydrobromide and related products, compositions and treatment methods.

Abstract: A system that includes a failed test detector and a task updater can automatically update tasks associated with consistent failures of software tests in a software development management platform. The failed test detector can use a set of evidence of test (EOT) files that indicate software testing results over a period of time to identify tests that are consistently failing when executed against versions of a software application. The task updater can automatically create tasks associated with such consistently-failing tests in the software development management platform. The task updater can also automatically close existing tasks associated with tests, in the software development management system, if the failed test detector determines that those tests are no longer failing consistently.

The method also includes receiving, by the first proxy service core computing device, from the second proxy service core computing device, a proxy lookup response, which includes account data linked to the proxy, and returning the proxy lookup response, to the participant, in response to the proxy lookup request.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating and using a dynamic asset inventory are disclosed. According to an implementation, a dynamic inventory can be generated by a function included in a security agent that provides security for a network environment. First computing asset information can be collected from first data sources, and the first computing asset information can be supplemented with second computing asset information. The supplemented computing asset information can be used to generate log files for computing assets. The log files can be used to generate an asset search index that supports rapid search of the dynamic asset inventory.

Abstract: A system is provided for an artificial intelligence-based engine for generating recommendations for resource allocation. In particular, the system may comprise an artificial intelligence module configured to access one or more data sources containing resource data associated with one or more users. Based on the resource data, the system may identify a group of analogous users with respect to a specific user. The system may then generate one or more recommendations for a resource allocation associated with the user. The one or more recommendations may then be presented on a graphical interface of a user device associated with the user. In this way, the system may provide an AI-driven method for efficient allocation of resources.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a near-eye, near-eye display system comprises a stack of waveguides having pillars in a central, active portion of the waveguides. The active portion may include light outcoupling optical elements configured to outcouple image light from the waveguides towards the eye of a viewer. The pillars extend between and separate neighboring ones of the waveguides. The light outcoupling optical elements may include diffractive optical elements that are formed simultaneously with the pillars, for example, by imprinting or casting. The pillars are disposed on one or more major surfaces of each of the waveguides. The pillars may define a distance between two adjacent waveguides of the stack of waveguides. The pillars may be bonded to adjacent waveguides may be using one or more of the systems, methods, or devices herein. The bonding provides a high level of thermal stability to the waveguide stack, to resist deformation as temperatures change.

Abstract: In an embodiment, there is provided a catheter extender-lengthener comprising end connectors and tubing that comprises a polymer and a substance such as an antibiotic that is safe for exposure to bodily fluids. The catheter extender-lengthener is suitable to connect to a catheter extension set. Antibiotic can be eluted to fluid on both sides of a clamp and can diffuse toward the patient's body. Similar tubing can be used in a catheter extension set and optionally in a cap. The catheter extender-lengthener can be added on to existing catheter assemblies. Drugs can be combined at high concentration with polymer, and the device can elute effective amounts of minocycline and rifampin for more than a month. Use of the devices can provide adjustable antibiotic or dose and can be adjusted in response to a patient's condition. This can lessen the possibility of Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection.
