  • Patent number: 11928421
    Abstract: A computing system may identify a first reference citation within a technical document, wherein the first reference citation is identified based at least in part a length of a first block of text that is included in the first reference citation and an inclusion of at least one numeric character in the first block of text. The computing system may determine, based on querying at least one datastore, whether the first reference citation matches a matching stored reference citation. The computing system may determine, based at least in part on whether the first reference citation matches the matching stored reference citation, an error review prioritization status for the first reference citation. The error review prioritization status may also be determined based, in part, on a specified revision number for the first reference citation. The computing system may provide visual feedback indicating the error review prioritization status.

  • Publication number: 20230407337
    Abstract: The invention provides an optimized electroporation strategy for non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (cRNP) genomic editing of primary innate immune cells, a methodology that can, for example, produce an almost complete loss of target gene expression from a single electroporation. This methodology has been validated in human peripheral blood-derived monocyte derived macrophages, natural killer cells, and monocyte derived dendritic cells. This gene editing technology can, for example, be used to delete inhibitory molecules in natural killer cells and dendritic cells for adoptive cell therapy in cancer. It can also be used to manipulate gene expression in adoptively transferred tolorogenic dendritic cells for treatment of type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

  • Patent number: 8754910
    Abstract: A control device includes a processor and a control button. The control button includes a key and an analog sensor coupled to the processor. The key is configured to be moved in a first direction and a second direction, which is substantially opposite from the first direction. The analog sensor is configured to detect an amount of movement of the key in the first direction and the second direction and send a control signal to the processor to indicate the amount of movement. Based on the control signal, the processor is configured to control zoom of a graphical object displayed on a computer monitor at a rate that is based on the amount of movement.

  • Publication number: 20070188453
    Abstract: A rotatable wheel for an input device which interfaces with a computer. The input device includes both a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. A rotor of material which will magnetically interact with the permanent magnet and electromagnet is coupled to the rotatable wheel. The permanent magnet and electromagnet can be used to control a ratchet force applied to the rotatable wheel. In an alternate embodiment, a rotatable wheel with a flywheel is engaged with a roller. A ratchet wheel can be intermittently engaged with the flywheel to provide a ratchet force. By disengaging the ratchet wheel, the flywheel can be allowed to spin, providing momentum to allow for easier scrolling in certain conditions, such as for scrolling through a long document.

  • Patent number: 6011239
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically adjusting the gram load and static attitude in a head suspension assembly comprising one or more lasers, a fiber optic switch, a measurement apparatus and a computer control means. The fiber optic switch includes a plurality of fiber optic lines which direct the output of the laser to well-defined regions on the suspensions in a disk drive. Irradiation of the suspension by the laser causes a load change which alters the static attitude change in the slider. In the method of the present invention, the initial gram load or static attitude is measured by the measurement apparatus and the control means calculates how much energy is required to cause the change needed to achieve the desired condition. Other information, such as the type of laser to be used is also specified by the control means.
