  • Publication number: 20240256009
    Abstract: A drive carrier includes a frame to receive and carry a media drive, a handle assembly, and a latching assembly having a helical compression spring and a latch. The handle assembly having a handle is pivotably connected to the frame and configured to rotate relative to the frame between open and closed positions. The handle assembly in its closed position, is configured to engage to a drive cage and hold the drive carrier in the drive cage. The latch is pivotably connected to the frame and rotatable between latched and unlatched positions. A second locking arm of the latch in its latched position, is engageable with a first locking arm of the handle to retain the handle in the closed position. The helical compression spring is arranged at an acute angle relative to the frame and applies force on the latch to bias the latch towards the latched position.

  • Patent number: 11932898
    Abstract: Computer-implemented processes for precision therapeutic biomarker screening for cancer include using a model-based overlapping clustering framework to assess large numbers of possible drugs and drug combinations against patient data, including cell line responsiveness. A multivariate regression model has been developed, along with a latent overlapping cluster indicator variable. The techniques employ a new finite mixture of multivariate regression (FMMR) model and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for modeling. The techniques can analyze large amounts of drug data and identify complex overlapping drug clusters, as well as cluster-wise drivers that facilitate identification of new drugs for treating pathologies, such as cancer, in patients.

  • Publication number: 20230062528
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and associated method for detection of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases through classification of audio samples are disclosed herein. The system utilizes features directly extracted from the coughing audio and develops automated diagnostic tools for COVID-19. In particular, the present application discusses a novel modification of a deep neural network architecture by using log-mel spectrograms of the audio excerpts and by optimizing a combination of binary cross-entropy and focal loss parameters. One embodiment of the system achieved an average validation AUC of 82.23% and a test AUC of 78.3% at a sensitivity of 80.49%.

  • Patent number: 11573854
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a memory device that recovers from write errors and read errors more quickly relative to prior memory devices. Certain patterns of write data and read data may result on poor signal quality on the memory interface between memory controllers and memory devices. The disclosed memory device, synchronously with the memory controller, scrambles read data before transmitting the data to the memory controller and descrambles received from the memory controller. The scrambling and descrambling results in a different pattern on the memory interface even for the same read data or write data. Therefore, when a write operation or a read operation fails, and the operation is replayed, the pattern transmitted on the memory interface is different when the operation is replayed. As a result, the memory device more easily recovers from data patterns that cause poor signal quality on the memory interface.

  • Patent number: 10795100
    Abstract: Examples relate to a removable transceiver module that comprises a base frame installable in a rail-pair receptacle that surrounds a first connector in a system board. It further comprises a module base board, a second connector attached thereto and a lever handle pivotally attached to the base frame and coupled to the module base board. The transceiver module is installed in the rail-pair receptacle in response to a lateral movement of the base frame to the receptacle to align the first and second connectors. The lever handle is movable between a closed position to couple the second connector to the first connector and an open position to install the transceiver module into the receptacle. This lever handle determines a vertical move of the module base board between the closed position and the open position.
