Abstract: Radiative cooling enabled passive freezing desalination processes are described. High salinity water can be desalinated via radiative cooling-driven freezing desalination. The passive freezing desalination processes can be a complementary method to solar desalination to enable 24-hour, year round passive thermal desalination.

Abstract: A method for monitoring treatment of a wound includes obtaining a photoacoustic ultrasound image of a wound on a patient. The photoacoustic ultrasound image is processed to extract information that is reflective of a rate of angiogenesis or oxygenation. A degree of wound healing is assessed based at least in part on the extracted information. The wound is treated based at least in part based on the assessed degree of wound healing. The treatment is monitored over time by obtaining and processing additional photoacoustic ultrasound images at subsequent times.

Abstract: Processes and systems for adaptive pedestrian inertial navigation are provided. Configurations can adjust to various navigation scenarios, including different floor types and different gait paces. A combination of IMU data partition, principal component analysis (PCA), and artificial neural network may be used to perform the floor type detection. Floor type results may be used in the multiple-model extended Kalman filter. In each extended Kalman filter, an adaptive threshold is used for the stance phase detection to enable the detector to adjust to gait frequency without tuning design parameters during navigation. A floor type classification of high accuracy is demonstrated, and the position error in a velocity-changing navigation system using adaptive threshold is reduced.

Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for creating an arrayed library of cells. In particular, the methods and compositions provided herein improve the selection and transfer of cells by reducing contamination, increasing throughput, and improving consistency of transfer. Such methods and compositions include automated colony selection employing a solid barrier mounted on an automated apparatus for automatic handling of one or more pick tools. The solid barrier is configured to prevent undesired transfer of cells from a pick tool into the destination receptacle. Such methods and compositions also include acoustic transfer of cells in a high-density media by an acoustic liquid handler. The methods and compositions further include pooling the cells using a bitcode sample pooling scheme for high-throughput sequencing and deconvoluting the obtained nucleic acid sequences to identify the cells from which the sequences originated.

Abstract: Chemically induced dimerizers (AbCIDs) have emerged as one of the most powerful tools to artificially regulate signaling pathways in cells; however, no facile method to identify or design these systems currently exists. The present invention provides a methodology to rapidly generate antibody-based chemically induced dimerizers (AbCIDs) from known small-molecule-protein complexes by selecting for synthetic antibodies that recognize the chemical epitope created by the bound small molecule. Success of this strategy is demonstrated by generating ten chemically-inducible antibodies against the BCL-xL/ABT-737 complex. Three of the antibodies are highly selective for the BCL-xL/ABT-737 complex over BCL-xL alone. Two exemplary important cellular applications of AbCIDs are demonstrated by applying them intracellularly to induce CRISPRa-mediated gene expression and extracellularly to regulate CAR T-cell activation with the small molecule, ABT-737. ABT-737 is not toxic at the concentrations used to activate AbCIDs in cells. AbCIDs provided by this invention are new and orthogonal AbCIDs, expanding the limited toolbox of available CIDs.

Abstract: The invention provides recombinant CD47 engager receptor proteins comprising an intracellular domain that enhances an immune response in a cell when the CD47 engager receptor protein binds to CD47 on a target cell. The invention also provides cells comprising the CD47 engager receptor proteins. The CD47 engager receptor protein may be a switched Signal Regulatory Protein Alpha (SIRPα) receptor (SIRPα switch receptors) and cells that comprise them (SIRPα switch cells). SIRPα switch receptors recognize CD47 on target tumor cells and transmit an intracellular signal within the SIRPα switch cells that upregulates natural killer cell (NK), T cell, and macrophage activity. The result is increased tumor cell killing.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for characterizing joint attention. A method includes dynamically obtaining video streams of participants; dynamically obtaining gaze streams; dynamically providing a cue to the participants to view the object; dynamically detecting a joint gaze based on the gaze streams focusing on the object over a time interval; and dynamically providing feedback based on detecting the joint gaze.
