Abstract: A computer retrieves data from a database. The computer retrieves a Machine Learning (ML) model trained to generate database queries. The computer applies the ML model to generate a primary database query based, at least in part, on a user inquiry available to the computer. The computer retrieves the primary database query, an initial set of data from a database available to the computer. The computer, in response to retrieving the initial set of data, receives feedback assessing the initial set of data. The computer, in response to receiving the feedback, applies a Natural Language Processing (NLP) model to identify query adjustment content within the feedback. The computer revises the primary database query based, at least in part, on the model adjustment content, to generate a secondary database query. The computer retrieves using the secondary database query, a secondary set of data from the database.

Abstract: Cancer-testis antigens were simultaneously packaged with CpG adjuvant and incorporated into an E2 nanoparticle platform to increase cancer vaccine efficacy. Also described herein is a combination of checkpoint blockade therapy and the nanoparticle vaccine platform to deliver cancer antigens with adjuvant for treatment of tumors and prevention of future tumors. The nanoparticle vaccine platform includes a protein capsule to which are attached adjuvants in the internal hollow cavity and cancer epitopes to the surface. Whereas single-therapies only increase survival, the combined therapy can both increase survival time as well as prevent tumor development in pre-existing tumor conditions by increasing tumor antigen-specific responses (via the nanoparticle vaccines) while simultaneously blocking checkpoints to remove immune suppression (via immune checkpoint inhibition). Furthermore, tumor rechallenge studies show evidence of T cell memory which can prevent tumor development in some individuals.

The 3D sensing system includes a first light source, a liquid crystal lens, a light detector and a control circuit.

The light detector is configured to detect light reflected from the object and passing through the liquid crystal lens. When the 3D sensing system is in a 3D mode, the control circuit is configured to turn on the first light source and control the liquid crystal lens to enter the polarization state.

Abstract: From a set of point data, a set of scattered rays is constructed. From the set of scattered rays, a set of ray slopes is computed. The set of ray slopes is mapped to a corresponding set of trigonometric functions. Using an optimization method, a parameter of the set of trigonometric functions is selected. Using an inverse of the set trigonometric functions, a vehicle mass corresponding to the set of point data is computed. Based on the vehicle mass, a threshold braking distance of a collision avoidance system of the vehicle is adjusted, the threshold braking distance comprising a distance from an object predicted to collide with the vehicle. By braking the vehicle at least the threshold braking distance from the object, a predicted collision between the vehicle and the object is avoided.

The system may include an orchestrator that provides a UI and that controls an abstraction layer for implementing a workflow for providing on-demand edge compute. The abstraction layer may include a server configuration orchestration (SCO) system (e.g., a Metal-as-a-Service (MaaS) system) and API that may provide an interface between the orchestrator and the SCO.

The various tasks, when executed, may provide on-demand edge compute service to users. The SCO API may further enable the ECS orchestrator to receive information from the SCO (e.g., compute resource information, status messages).
