Abstract: In one aspect, described herein are cyclical administration regimens for the administration of complexes comprising interleukin-15 (“IL-15”) covalently or noncovalently bound to IL-15 receptor alpha (“IL-15Ra”) to patients in order to enhance IL-15-mediated immune function. In one aspect, these cyclical administration regimens achieve plasma levels of IL-15 above basal levels while minimizing the toxicity associated with IL-15 administration. In a specific aspect, the cyclical administration regimens are useful in the prevention, treatment, and/or management of disorders in which enhancing IL-15-mediated function is beneficial, such as cancer, infectious diseases, immunodeficiencies and lymphopenia. Also described herein are purified soluble forms of IL-15Ra, cells that recombinantly express soluble forms of IL-15Ra, and compositions comprising complexes of IL-15 covalently or non-covalently bound to soluble forms of IL-15Ra. Further described herein are host cells that recombinantly express IL15-Ra derivatives comprising a mutation or deletion in the extracellular domain cleavage site, including IL-15Ra derivatives comprising the extracellular domain of IL-15Ra and a transmembrane domain of a heterologous molecule. In addition, described herein are methods for propagating, activating and/or differentiating IL-15 responsive cells, comprising co-culturing an IL-15 responsive cell(s) with a host cell(s) that recombinantly expresses IL-15Ra, and isolating the IL-15 responsive cell(s) from the host cell(s). The IL-15 responsive cells that are immune cells can be administered to prevent, treat and/or manage various disorders, including cancer, an infectious disease, an immunodeficiency and lymphopenia. Further, described herein are methods of enhancing IL-15-mediated immune function as well as methods for preventing, treating and/or managing disorders in which enhancing IL-15-mediated function is beneficial, such as cancer, in a subject, the methods comprising administering to the subject a host cell that recombinantly expresses an IL-15Ra described herein.

Abstract: A method for using a single-pixel camera to reconstruct images of objects obscured by fog or other dynamic scattering media. A pseudo-random phase or intensity pattern is imposed on illumination beams directed at a target. The beam with the imposed pattern forms a pseudo random pattern on the target. Information regarding the pattern imposed on each pulse is entered into a data processor/controller. The illumination beams with the pseudo random patterns are reflected off the target, collected by receiving optics and a bucket detector and converted into electronic signals fed into the data processor/controller. The data processor/controller applies a high-pass filter to remove slower signal variations produced by dynamic changes in the scattering medium over time. The filtered bucket values are then used together with their corresponding speckle patterns to generate the images using any appropriate reconstruction algorithm such as CGI or CSI.

Abstract: A system for generating a coherent laser light includes a light source configured to pump a first color laser light and a device configured to generate a coherent second color light and a coherent third color light. The device includes a waveguide configured to couple to the light source and a microring resonator coupled to the light source via the waveguide. The microring resonator is configured to generate a coherent second color light and a coherent third color light. The generation of the coherent second color light and the coherent third color light is based on hybrid-mode optical parametric oscillation.

Abstract: Tunable devices and methods for fine tuning the optical responses of thin film devices post fabrication are described. This approach modifies the refractive indices of the chalcogenide glass thin films incorporated into the devices, and using this change in the refractive indices to fine tune the optical responses of the devices. Thermal annealing may be used to modify the refractive index. Thermal annealing provides good uniformity in large-area devices and may be applied to multi-layer structures.

Abstract: A method is provided for non-invasively predicting characteristics of one or more cells and cell derivatives. The method includes training a machine learning model using at least one of a plurality of training cell images representing a plurality of cells and data identifying characteristics for the plurality of cells. The method further includes receiving at least one test cell image representing at least one test cell being evaluated, the at least one test cell image being acquired noninvasively and based on absorbance as an absolute measure of light, and providing the at least one test cell image to the trained machine learning model. Using machine learning based on the trained machine learning model, characteristics of the at least one test cell are predicted. The method further includes generating, by the trained machine learning model, release criteria for clinical preparations of cells based on the predicted characteristics of the at least one test cell.

Abstract: A differential amplifier includes an unmatched pair, including first quantum dots and second quantum dots, and a matched pair, including first and second phototransistors. The unmatched pair has a difference between a first spectrum absorbed by the first quantum dots and a second spectrum absorbed by the second quantum dots. Each of the first and second phototransistors includes a channel. The first quantum dots absorb the first spectrum from incident electromagnetic radiation and gate a first current through the channel of the first phototransistor, and the second quantum dots absorb the second spectrum from the incident electromagnetic radiation and gate a second current through the channel of the second phototransistor. The first and second phototransistors are coupled together for generating a differential output from the first and second currents, the differential output corresponding to the difference between the first and second spectrums within the incident electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: An energy transfer platform involves a CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dot (QD) scaffold having four additional components: terbium metal chelate, ruthenium(II)-phenanthroline, AlexaFluor 647, and Cy5.5. These are positioned in a self-assembled fashion on the QD surface through the utilization of peptide-PNA and DNA bioconjugate linkers. The modular platform can operate to sense multiple different events or targets simultaneously, including sensing of genetic moieties and enzymatic targets.
