  • Patent number: 11567074
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of identifying a protein capable of binding a ligand, the method comprising: (a) contacting the ligand with two or more samples comprising a plurality of proteins in a solution; (b) separating the proteins bound to the ligand (“bound proteins”) from the proteins that are not bound to the ligand (“unbound proteins”) in each sample; (c) denaturing and digesting the bound proteins to form a plurality of peptides in each sample; (d) quantifying a plurality of molecular features contained in the plurality of peptides in each sample, wherein the molecular features are defined as having a mass to charge ratio, retention time, and peak intensity as measured by mass spectrometry; and (e) ranking the molecular features that exhibit a statistically significant difference in quantity between the samples contacted with the ligand and a sample that is not contacted with the ligand (“statistically significant molecular feature”).

  • Publication number: 20230011863
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a parallel processing computer system that detects memory errors as a memory client loads data from memory and disables the memory client from storing data to memory, thereby reducing the likelihood that the memory error propagates to other memory clients. The memory client initiates a stall sequence, while other memory clients continue to execute instructions and the memory continues to service memory load and store operations. When a memory error is detected, a specific bit pattern is stored in conjunction with the data associated with the memory error. When the data is copied from one memory to another memory, the specific bit pattern is also copied, in order to identify the data as having a memory error.

  • Publication number: 20220392140
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for interleaving textures. In the disclosed techniques, multiple textures that would otherwise be accessed separately are interleaved into a single, interleaved texture that can be used to access the multiple textures together. The interleaved texture can include alternating blocks from the multiple textures. The interleaved texture can be generated when the multiple textures are being loaded into memory. Further, the interleaved texture can be accessed using multiple texture headers that are associated with different textures in the interleaved texture. Each of texture headers includes a stride indicating the distance between two blocks from a same texture in the interleaved texture.

  • Publication number: 20220373056
    Abstract: A suspension apparatus includes a spring piston and a spring tube body. The spring piston is slidably disposed within the spring tube body to move within the spring tube body over a travel along an axis of reciprocation. The spring piston bounds a primary positive gas spring chamber at least a first portion of a primary negative gas spring chamber. The suspension apparatus also includes a secondary negative gas spring chamber and a separator. The separator permits fluid pressure communication between the primary negative gas spring chamber and the secondary negative gas spring chamber over a first portion of the travel of the spring piston, and the separator prevents fluid pressure communication between the primary negative gas spring chamber and the secondary negative gas spring chamber over a second portion of the travel of the spring piston.
