Abstract: Techniques described herein enable a virtual mobile device representing a user's physical mobile device to be used in artificial reality, such as VR, MR, and AR. An artificial-reality head-mounted device worn by a user may present to the user a virtual mobile application on a virtual mobile device in a virtual environment. The virtual mobile application is a virtual representation of a mobile application that is native to an operating system of a physical mobile device. In particular embodiments, the mobile application may be hosted on a virtual machine for the operating system, which may be different from the operating system of the artificial-reality headset. The user may interact with the virtual mobile application in three-dimensional space. The artificial-reality device may translate the interactions into mobile-application-compatible data that can be understood by the mobile application. The mobile-application-compatible data is then sent to the native application for processing.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for ameliorating chronic pain signaling involving transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) by expressing PP1? in neurons. The invention also provides HSV vectors for expressing PP1? within neurons and compositions comprising such vectors.

Abstract: A method for forming thinned areas in a thin sheet material. The method includes the steps of (1) placing the thin sheet material on a pattern anvil having a pattern of raised areas wherein the height of the raised areas is generally less than the thickness of the sheet material; (2) conveying the sheet material, while placed on the pattern anvil, through an area where a fluid is applied to the sheet material; and (3) subjecting the sheet material to a sufficient amount of ultrasonic vibrations in the area where the fluid is applied to the sheet material to area thin the sheet material in a pattern generally the same as the pattern of raised areas on the pattern anvil. In some embodiments, the thinned areas may be micro areas.
