Abstract: A test strip for sampling a bodily fluid may include multiple layers of a substrate material, an adhesive between at least some of the multiple layers, and a microfluidic channel formed between at least some of the multiple layers. The test strip may further include multiple electrodes on one of the multiple layers, positioned and partially exposed within the microfluidic channel, an additional material positioned at or near an entrance to the microfluidic channel, to selectively limit the flow of at least one of bubbles or debris into the microfluidic channel, and at least one exit port in at least one of the multiple layers to allow for release of pressure from the test strip. In some embodiments, the test strip is a saliva analysis test strip. In some embodiments, the test strip includes multiple exit ports to prevent blockage of sample flow.

Abstract: The present technology provides a mechanism by which a player can make a gesture with their hands which can bring up a virtual controller, wherein hand movements and finger tracking can result in locomotion of an avatar through a virtual world without need for a hardware controller. Therefore, a player can have a natural conversion or otherwise control the hands of their avatar to interact with other objects in the virtual world, and then use the avatar's hands to bring up a virtual controller to control locomotive movements of their avatar without the player of a physical controller.

The article contains one or more filaments that contain a backbone material, a health care active and optionally aesthetic agents, extensional aids, plasticizers, and crosslinking agents.

Abstract: A method for using saliva to measure at least one substance or physiological parameter of a human or animal subject may involve inserting a first end of a sensor into a handheld saliva testing device. The method may also involve receiving saliva from the subject on a second end of the sensor, moving the saliva from the second end of the sensor to the first end, and processing the saliva with the handheld saliva testing device to provide initial saliva data related to the at least one substance or physiological parameter of the subject. In some embodiments, the sensor remains inserted in the handheld device while the subject deposits saliva on the opposite, free end of the sensor.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for identifying ancestor objects in hierarchical data configured for processing with a query, the query having an associated abstract syntax tree. The abstract syntax tree may be processed so as to generate an augmented abstract syntax tree which includes parent identifiers configured to identify the parent nodes of the query. In this way, a need to pre-parse the data may be alleviated. Instead, the identification of a parent node of a query may be encoded into the abstract syntax tree of the query.

Abstract: Media hub systems and methods for providing content for display on a device provided. The media system may include a hub and a mount configured to secure the hub to a plurality of structures. The hub may include a camera and be configured to provide content for display on a device. The mount may be configured to couple to the hub via a magnetic connection. The magnetic connection may be configured to allow the hub to tilt relative to the mount to adjust a field-of-view of the camera.

Abstract: A method of classifying video data representing activity within a space to be monitored. A method comprises storing video data obtained from a camera configured to monitor the space. Sensor data indicative of a condition occurring within the space is obtained, and a plurality of programme elements are defined within the video data. Each programme element has an associated classification code, and each classification code is selected using the sensor data.

Abstract: A method of capturing a population of T-Cell receptor and/or immunoglobulin sequences with variable regions within a patient sample, the method comprising: extracting and/or preparing DNA fragments from the patient sample; ligating a nucleic acid adapter to the DNA fragments, the nucleic acid adapter suitable for recognition by a pre-selected nucleic acid probe; capturing DNA fragments existing in the patient sample using a collection of nucleic acid hybrid capture probes, wherein each capture probe is designed to hybridize to a known V gene segment and/or a J gene segment within the T cell receptor and/or immunoglobulin genomic loci.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to use of a workflow for automatic prescription of different radiological imaging scan planes across different anatomies and modalities. The automated prescription of such imaging scan planes helps ensure contiguous visualization of the different landmark structures. Unlike prior approaches, the disclosed technique determines the necessary planes using the localizer images itself and does not explicitly segment or delineate the landmark structures to perform plane prescription.
