  • Publication number: 20240150854
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to detect a class of non-variola Orthopoxviruses, and, more particularly, monkeypox virus. In certain embodiments, the method may comprise obtaining a sample from the subject; and detecting a nucleic acid sequence specific to the non-variola Orthopoxvirus. In some embodiments, the method may further isolation of the non-variola Orthopoxvirus from a solid substrate such as a tissue swab and further purification of viral nucleic acid using silica beads. The sample may in some cases be self-collected by a subject. The disclosed methods and systems, including kits for self-collection, may be used for a high throughput assay allowing for screening of hundreds of samples per day.

  • Patent number: 11964797
    Abstract: A container may include a generally hollow body configured for holding a liquid and including a spout. A spout cap may be configured for removable engagement with the spout. The spout cap may include an inner boss and an outer boss in fluid communication with the inner boss. The inner boss may include an annular skirt disposed within an interior space of the spout cap. The outer boss may be configured to receive a connector of a hose assembly. A filter may have a connecting portion configured for removable insertion into the inner boss. The filter and the spout cap may form a fluid flow path from the body through the spout. Related filters, hose assemblies, and kits are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240020414
    Abstract: A system for context-based data privacy can include a processor in communication with a data store associated with a data variable, wherein the data variable is associated with an entity. The processor can receive a request for the data variable. The processor can obtain contextual data associated with at least one of the data variable and the entity. The processor can determine a probabilistic model based on the contextual data. The processor can generate a key for the data variable. The processor can generate a perturbation value by applying the probabilistic model using the key. The processor can send a de-identified value by modifying a current value of the data variable by the perturbation value responsive to the request for the data variable.

  • Patent number: 11863935
    Abstract: A hearing device may include an earpiece, and ear-tip suspension element disposed in the earpiece, a solenoid actuator, and a controller. The earpiece and the ear-tip suspension element may include passageways that connect to form a vent through the earpiece. The solenoid actuator may include a solenoid and a core. The core may be movable between an open position and a closed position to open and close the vent. The controller may include one or more processors and may be operably coupled to the solenoid actuator to control movement of the core between the open and closed position. The controller may be configured to move the core using the solenoid based on at least a listening environment of the hearing device.

  • Patent number: 11782911
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that receive a search request with one or more data items to search against filters. Masked versions of the data items are generating using a first predetermined algorithm. The masked versions can be transmitted to another computing device to be secured. Query data can be generated by applying a second algorithm to the secured version of the data items. The query data can be transmitted to a storage system to query the filters to identify search results.

  • Patent number: 11726993
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that receive data at an electronic computing device. A first algorithm can be applied to the phrases to generate masked versions of the phrases. The masked versions can be cryptographically secured using a second algorithm and a cryptographic key. The second algorithm and cryptographic key can be used to generate a secured versions of the phrases. A filter representative of the data can be generated using the secured versions of the phrases.

  • Patent number: 11709948
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generation of a representative data structure. A computing device can receive data including various data items. The computing device can generate logical rows that include the data items. The computing device can convert the logical rows into nodes and store the nodes into logical rows of a first logical table. The computing device can generate logical rows for a second logical table including row identifiers and a link to one of the logical rows from the first logical table.
