Abstract: A secure electronic messaging system includes processors coupled to a network, and constituent applications, services, and processes configured to securely exchange messages between participants such as hosts and recipients, and to protect personally identifying information (PII). The system and processor(s) are configured to generate a deanonymization probability (DP) for an anonymized dataset (ADS) responsive to a query received from the network, and to generate the ADS with pseudoidentities of recipients, when the DP does not exceed a predetermined DP threshold (DPT). The system thereby reduces the probability that the ADS and or pseudoidentities can be deanonymized, and thereby enables secure message exchanges between the participants, while protecting and without sharing the PII of participant identities. When DPs exceed the DPT, the system generates error messages, and or alternative queries that generate ADSs with DPs that do not exceed the DPT.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for predictive data analytics are described. In a method for selecting a predictive model for a prediction problem, the suitabilities of predictive modeling procedures for the prediction problem may be determined based on characteristics of the prediction problem and/or on attributes of the respective modeling procedures. A subset of the predictive modeling procedures may be selected based on the determined suitabilities of the selected modeling procedures for the prediction problem. A resource allocation schedule allocating computational resources for execution of the selected modeling procedures may be generated, based on the determined suitabilities of the selected modeling procedures for the prediction problem. Results of the execution of the selected modeling procedures in accordance with the resource allocation schedule may be obtained. A predictive model for the prediction problem may be selected based on those results.

Abstract: A composition comprising a polypeptide ligated to an oligonucleotide through a sterol linker. A method of ligating a polypeptide to an oligonucleotide, comprising a polypeptide having a hedgehog steroyl transferse catalytic domain at the C-terminal of the polypeptide with an electrophilic residue, e.g., glycine, between polypeptide and the hedgehog steroyl transferse catalytic domain, and a steroylated oligonucleotide in solution, and permitting a reaction to cleave the hedgehog steroyl transferse catalytic domain from the polypeptide while ligating the steroylated oligonucleotide to the glycine at the C-terminal of the polypeptide. The oligonucleotide may be, for example, a therapeutic, diagnostic, or affinity ligand.

Abstract: An AI-based cyber threat analyst protects a system from cyber threats. A cyber threat analyst module uses i) one or more AI models, ii) a set of scripts, and iii) any combination of both, to form and investigate hypotheses on what are a possible set of cyber threats that include abnormal behavior and/or the suspicious activity. The analyzer module uses one or more data analysis processes including i) an agent analyzer data analysis process; ii) an Ngram data analysis process; iii) an exfiltration data analysis process; and iv) a network scan data analysis process; in order to obtain any of the abnormal behavior and the suspicious activity to start the investigation on the possible set of cyber threats hypotheses, as well as, to obtain the collection of system data points to either support or refute the possible cyber threat hypotheses.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a CNC machine including providing instructions for machining a surface of a distortion-free object, selecting a true axis of movement of a toolhead of the machine using the instructions, instructing the toolhead to travel on an object to be machined along the true axis of movement, but where the toolhead actually travels along an actual axis that is deviated from the true axis as a result of the surface distortions on the object to be machined, selecting multiple points along the actual axis traveled by the toolhead on the object to be machined, comparing the distance of the multiple points along the actual axis from the true axis to determine offset amounts from the true axis corresponding to a lack of straightness of the object to be machined, and modifying the instructions to compensate for the offset amounts before uploading the instructions to a CNC controller.

Abstract: A slot die shim for use with a slot die, the slot die shim including a first channel configured to receive a first coating, a second channel configured to receive a second coating, and a third channel configured to receive a third coating. The slot die shim simultaneously dispenses the first coating through the first channel, the second coating through the second channel, and the third coating through the third channel onto a substrate. The coatings can be applied at different flow rates and include different test reagents. A vacuum force is applied to the first, second, and third coatings to control a width and a thickness of each of the coatings and a gap or distance between the coatings. The first, second, and third coatings are placed near one another or directly in contact with one another to minimize the area required for the coatings.
