A chemical mixture dispensing assembly for automatically filling a fluid containment with a predetermined ratio of chemicals and water includes a housing that is mountable on a support surface such that the housing is positioned proximate a fluid containment. The housing is fluid coupled to a water source, a first chemical source and a second chemical source. A mixing unit is positioned in the housing and the mixing unit mixes a predetermined volume of fluid from the first chemical source and the second chemical source with a predetermined volume of water from the water source to produce a fluid mixture. The mixing unit dispenses a predetermined volume of the fluid mixture from the mixture outlet to fill the fluid containment with the fluid mixture.

Chemical mixture dispensing assembly

In some implementations, a method is performed by a device including a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining user movement information. In some implementations, the user movement information characterizes a first body pose of the user at a first time and a second body pose of the user at a second time. In some implementations, the method includes determining whether a transition from the first body pose to the second body pose satisfies an acceptability threshold. In some implementations, the method includes in response to determining that the transition from the first body pose to the second body pose satisfies the acceptability threshold, generating a sequence of movements for a synthesized reality (SR) representation of the user.

Moving an avatar based on real-world data

Compositions of nucleic acid hybridization probes for detecting a nucleic acid target sequence and methods for their production are described. In one preferred embodiment, the nucleic acid hybridization probe includes a hybridization domain, an adaptor, a linker, and a signaling domain. The hybridization domain includes a nucleic acid sequence having complementarity to the nucleic acid target sequence. The adaptor is a nucleic acid sequence. The linker includes a moiety having at least one abasic site, such that the moiety blocks extension by an elongating polymerase on a nucleic acid template containing the moiety. The signaling domain comprises a nucleic acid having at least one label or a nucleic acid having at least one nucleic acid domain for binding at least one additional nucleic acid.

Nucleic acid hybridization probes

Methods of screening a sample for a predisposition for forming an EGFR-associated cancer and the presence of EGFR (v3) contained therein are described. The methods include the steps of obtaining a sample containing a plurality of cells and hybridizing a first set of labeled chromosomal probes and a second set of labeled chromosomal probes to the sample. The first set of labeled chromosomal probes specific to chromosome 7, and the second set of labeled chromosomal probes is a labeled EGFR(v3)-probe. The first and second sets of labeled chromosomal probes include different labels to permit identification of the first and second sets of labeled chromosomal probes hybridized to the sample. The method includes calculating the number of signals of the first and second sets labeled chromosomal probes on an individual cell basis and determining a predisposition for forming an EGFR-associated cancer and the presence of EGFR (v3) contained therein based upon those calculations.

Method and compositions for detecting epidermal growth factor receptor variant forms in cancer cells

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for detection, analysis, and treatment of nucleic acids. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for generating and using hybridization probes.

Hybridization probes and methods

Method and compositions for screening for the presence of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor variant 3 (EGFR(v3)) in a sample are described. The method comprises obtaining a sample containing a plurality of cells; hybridizing a set of chromosomal probes to the sample, wherein the set comprises an EGFR(v3)-probe and a probe to chromosome 7 different from an EGFR(v3)-probe; and visualizing the hybridization pattern of the set of chromosomal probes in the plurality of cells of the sample, wherein the presence of at least one copy of chromosome 7 lacking a hybridization signal of the EGFR(v3)-probe in at least one cell is indicative of the presence of the EGFR(v3) in the sample. The method and compositions are suitable for diagnosing the therapeutic outcome for treating a patient having a cancer with an anti-EGFR therapeutic agent and for screening a sample for a predisposition for forming an EGFR-associated cancer.

The present invention relates to rapid, sensitive methods for determining whether a subject is at risk of developing lung cancer or has lung cancer based on certain combinations or biomarkers or biomarkers and biometric parameters.

Methods and marker combinations for screening for predisposition to lung cancer

A set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as BS106 and transcribed from breast tissue is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the breast such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BS106-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific BS106 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of breast diseases, tumors or metastases.

Reagents and methods useful for detecting diseases of the breast

This invention relates generally to a multimeric polypeptide complex/antigen which may be utilized in detecting or diagnosing diseases of the uterus such as uterine cancer. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods and kits, for example, which utilize this antigen or an antibody thereto. The complex itself comprises at least one EU250 polypeptide and at least one polypeptide which may be a BU101 polypeptide and/or a TU104 polypeptide. The complex may further comprise other, as yet unknown, polypeptide sequences.
