  • Publication number: 20240392355
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of in situ detection of a nucleic acid variation of a target nucleic acid in a sample, including single nucleotide variations, multi-nucleotide variations or splice sites. The method can comprise the steps of contacting the sample with a probe that detects the nucleic acid variation or splice site and a neighbor probe; contacting the sample with pre-amplifiers that bind to the nucleic acid variation probe or splice site probe and neighbor probe, respectively; contacting the sample with a collaboration amplifier that binds to the pre-amplifiers; and contacting the sample with a label probe system, wherein hybridization of the components forms a signal generating complex (SGC) comprising a target nucleic acid with the nucleic acid variation or splice site, the probes and amplifiers; and detecting in situ signal from the SGC on the sample.

  • Publication number: 20240028710
    Abstract: A method of determining whether a processing unit is compliant with a security policy is provided. The method may comprise obtaining first data indicative of a power consumption profile of the processing unit for a first time period, the power consumption profile comprising a variation of power consumption with time. The method may comprise determining whether the processing unit is compliant with the security policy during the first time period depending, at least in part, on the obtained first data. It may be that the processing unit complying with the security policy gives rise to a power signature in the power consumption profile of the processing unit during a period of compliance.

  • Publication number: 20230401253
    Abstract: Consolidation of disparate data source queries is provided. An application intake component can receive an application package file, and process the file to identify one or more actions and entities for the application. A natural language processor component can receive an input audio signal to identify an action and an entity on which to perform the action. An application delivery component can identify applications that can perform the action and applications that have access to the entity, and then select an application that is configured to perform the action on the entity. The application delivery component can provide an indication of the application selected by the system to a client device.

  • Patent number: 11620929
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device includes a display panel, voltage circuitry to provide a voltage output to the display panel, and a controller. In some examples, the controller sets the voltage output of the voltage circuitry to a first voltage. In some examples, the controller obtains a first display panel power measurement at the voltage output. In some examples, the controller compares the first display panel power measurement with a second display panel power measurement. In some examples, the controller changes the voltage output to a second voltage based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11562742
    Abstract: Some implementations are directed to selective invocation of a particular third-party (3P) agent by an automated assistant to achieve an intended action determined by the automated assistant during a dynamic dialog between the automated assistant and a user. In some of those implementations, the particular 3P agent is invoked with value(s) for parameter(s) that are determined during the dynamic dialog; and/or the particular 3P agent is selected, from a plurality of candidate 3P agents, for invocation based on the determined value(s) for the parameter(s) and/or based on other criteria. In some of those implementations, the automated assistant invokes the particular 3P agent by transmitting, to the particular 3P agent, a 3P invocation request that includes the determined value(s) for the parameter(s).
