International Classification:

C12N 15/10

US Classification:

506 2, 435 612, 4352872

Abstract:

An approach to collect and interpret results from Y2H screens uses high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies. In particular, this system is appropriate to generate comprehensive profiles of protein-protein interactions (PPIs), allowing also a side-by-side comparison of specific PPI patterns with that from control samples and allows a direct comparison of PPI patterns displayed by proteins in their wild-type and various mutant conformations. While sample preparation relies to the most part on established transcriptome and RNA sequencing procedures, this invention also encloses a specific DNA preparation step to sequester irrelevant and contaminating sequences from the sample.

International Classification:

H04M 1/247

Abstract:

In some implementations, a mobile computing device may participate in the calibration of an output signal of a media device. This calibration process includes storing device-specific calibration data which is related to properties of a light sensor of the mobile device. The mobile device then detects of properties of light emitted by the display device during a presentation to obtain sensor values related to light emitted by the display device during the presentation. The calibration process may also ensure that the mobile device is proximate to the display device prior to obtaining the sensor values. The collected sensor values are adjusted using device-specific calibration data stored to the mobile device to normalize the sensor values relative to a baseline. These normalized sensor values are sent to the media device for use in adjusting the output signal based on the normalized sensor values.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
H04R 1/10
H01L 31/0232

Abstract:

An in-ear optical sensor device sits deep within the ear canal of a subject such that is in the cartilaginous region and/or the bony region of the ear canal where effects from temporomandibular joint activity or other movement, and external light, are limited. The device has a lateral housing and a medial articulating head joined at an articulation joint so that the medial articulating head may be angled relative to the lateral housing to help the device fit within tortuous ear canals. The device also includes a seal configured to conform to the shape of the ear canal to physically support the device to further limit movement and block environmental light. An audio receiver is also included in the device.

International Classification:

G11C 5/02
G06N 3/063

Abstract:

An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes an active oxide layer to form and dissipate a conductive bridge. The conductive bridge is to dissipate spontaneously within a relaxation time to enable the memory device to self-refresh according to volatile behavior in response to the input voltage being below a threshold corresponding to disregarding sneak current and noise of a crossbar array in which the memory device is to operate. The conductive bridge is to persist beyond the relaxation time to enable the memory device to retain programming for neuromorphic computing training according to non-volatile behavior of the memory device in response to the input voltage not being below the threshold.

International Classification:

G09G 5/02

Abstract:

Scalable color balancing techniques for processing images to be presented on displays are described. One technique includes receiving ambient light color information from an ambient light sensor and input image data to be presented via a display coincident with receiving the ambient light color information. The display may have a first white point at a time prior to receiving the input image data. The technique may include determining a second white point for the display based on the input image data and the ambient light color information. The first and second white points may differ from each other. The technique may also include generating one or more chromatic adaptation transforms (CATs) based on the white points. Output image data may be generated based on applying the one or more CATs to the input image data. The output image data may be presented via the display. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract:

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system and method for determining oil and water composition in drilling mud by separating out signals from oil and water in a two dimensional relaxation space wherein the oil and water ratio is a function of the separated out signals. The spin-lattice relaxation time distribution or a spin-spin relaxation time distribution of the sample is measured and a spin-lattice versus spin-spin or a spin-spin versus diffusion two-dimensional procedure is applied to separate the components of the drilling fluid. The signal intensities from the oil and water regions of the one-dimensional or two-dimensional NMR measurements are used to quantify the relative portion of the proton NMR signal from the oil and water and to determine the ratio of oil and water in the drilling mud.
