Abstract: A method for coordinating the manufacturing of an expanded cell therapy product for a patient may include receiving a cell order request to expand the cell therapy product for the patient; generating a patient-specific identifier or cell order identifier associated with the cell order request; and initiating a process to expand the cell therapy product from at least some of a solid tumor obtained from the patient. If acceptance parameters for the expansion cell therapy product do not meet certain acceptance criteria at a second time point subsequent to a first time point in the expansion process, it is determined whether re-performing the expansion of the cell therapy product using the cell expansion technique is possible from the first time point based on the acceptance parameters at the second time point. If such re-performing the expansion is possible, patient treatment events that use the expanded cell therapy product are rescheduled.

Abstract: A respiratory mask system includes a mask interface and a headgear assembly. The headgear assembly is adjustable and comprised of an elastic portion, a non-elastic portion and a restriction mechanism configured to provide a force resisting movement of the non-elastic portion when the elastic portion is extended. There is a support beam coupled to the non-elastic portion and extending along a portion of the headgear that is curved along its longitudinal extent. In this way particular seal modules can be comfortably fitted to a user and any blow off force is mitigated. A particular example of the respiratory mask system includes provision for removable attachment between the seal and a mask frame, the mask frame and a yoke of the headgear; and between a conduit and the mask frame.

Abstract: By a genome-wide gene analysis of expression profiles of over 50,000 known or putative gene sequences in peripheral blood, the present inventors have identified a consensus set of gene expression-based molecular biomarkers associated with subclinical acute rejection (subAR). These genes sets are useful for diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring of subAR.

Abstract: One example device may be configured to determine that a destination public safety answering point (PSAP) of a received first call operates in a legacy PSAP domain. In response such a determination, the device may determine whether the first call is of a first type of call that includes an original number identification or of a second type of call that does not include an original number identification. In response to determining that the first call is of the first type, the device may deliver the first call to the destination PSAP along with an original number identification of the first call. In response to determining that the first call is of the second type, the device may generate a crafted number identification for the first call, and deliver the first call to the destination PSAP along with the crafted number identification.

The input device action signal is based at least in part on a signal sent from plunger position sensor. A diversion apparatus is disposed downstream from the reservoir and is configured to receive at least a first portion of the volume of the fluid medium ejected from the reservoir.

Abstract: A portable clothes hanging assembly includes a pair of mounts that is each attachable to an outer wall of a storage tote. Each of the mounts has a pair of grips which defines a receiving space associated with a respective mount. A pair of risers is provided which comprise a lower section slidably attached to an upper section such that each of the pair of risers has an adjustable length. Each of the pair of risers is insertable into the receiving space defined in a respective one of the mounts thereby facilitating each of the pair of risers to be vertically oriented on the storage tote. A pole is insertable through respective ones of the plurality of attachment points in the upper section of each of the pair of risers. In this way the pole can support clothes hangers for hanging clothes stored in the storage tote.

Abstract: The technology disclosed in this patent document can be implemented to provide a smart skin-like multi-layer sensing structure to include an optical fiber to provide spatially distributed optical sensing of a contact with the structure or the temperature based on changes in the optical fiber in response to the contact or temperature for various applications including robotics and others.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can selectively determine whether to incorporate a verbatim interpretation of portions spoken utterances into an entry field and/or incorporate synonymous content into the entry field. For instance, a user can be accessing an interface that provides an entry field (e.g., address field) for receiving user input. In order to provide input for entry field, the user can select the entry field and/or access a GUI keyboard to initialize an automated assistant for assisting with filling the entry field. Should the user provide a spoken utterance, the user can elect to provide a spoken utterance that embodies the intended input (e.g., an actual address) or a reference to the intended input (e.g., a name). In response to the spoken utterance, the automated assistant can fill the entry field with the intended input without necessitating further input from the user.
