Further, the disclosure encompasses pharmaceutical compositions comprising engineered meganuclease proteins, or polynucleotides encoding engineered meganucleases of the disclosure, and the use of such compositions for the modification of a dystrophin gene in a subject, or for treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Abstract: A battery clamp having a first inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a second inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a first outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the first inner metal battery clamp, and a second outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the second inner metal battery clamp. The first inner metal battery clamp member and/or the second inner metal battery clamp member having a battery cable connector configured to allow a user to access the battery cable connector with the user's fingers or a tool while avoiding interference with the handle portions of the battery clamp.

Abstract: A portable jump starter and air compressor device, including a jump starter, air compressor, and/or vacuum cleaner. One or more of the jump starter, air compressor, and/or vacuum cleaner are powered a same or different one or more rechargeable batteries (e.g. one or more Li-ion batteries). The air compressor, for example, includes a piston/valve arrangement configured to allow a piston of the piston/valve arrangement to move in close proximity to a cylinder head of the cylinder of the air compressor.

Abstract: A processing device receives a first cluster management operation request, wherein the first cluster management operation request is for a deployment operation of a first cluster and comprises a cluster template, a specified number of nodes to deploy and a configuration. The processing device determines a plurality of constraints from at least one of the cluster template or the configuration. The processing device deterministically solves for and outputs a first cluster layout comprising the specified number of nodes, each of the specified number of nodes comprising a hardware type, an image type and one or more services, wherein the first cluster layout satisfies the plurality of constraints.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enhancing crop performance in Brassica, the method comprising providing Brassica seeds which have been sorted so that at least 90% of the seed population have a seed diameter of at least 1.7 mm; and seeding said Brassica seeds at a seeding rate sufficient to establish a population of Brassica plants so that the plants have a density of 40 to 95 plants per m2 when the plants are at any one or more of phenological growth stages 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15, according to the BBCH scale; and that the plants show an establishment rate of at least 40%.

Abstract: An electrical stimulation system includes a stimulation device and a container. The stimulation device may be sealed within the container. A port in the container allows the stimulation device to be coupled with a lead. The stimulation device may be used before, during, and after subcutaneous surgery to apply electrical stimulation for nerve regeneration.

Abstract: A processing device executing a provisioner requests a node level task from a server. The processing device receives an assignment of a first node level task, wherein the first node level task is associated with a cluster management operation for a first cluster. The processing device determines a first plugin capable of performing the first node level task from a plurality of plugins, wherein each of the plurality of plugins comprises a self-contained program for performing a specific set of node level tasks. The processing device performs the first node level task by the first plugin, wherein the first node level task is an operation on a remote target host that does not include software associated with the provisioner. The processing device reports a result of the node level task to the server.

Abstract: A processing device receives a starting cluster layout for a first cluster, a target cluster layout for the first cluster, and a cluster management operation for creating or modifying the first cluster. The processing device determines a plurality of node level tasks to transition the first cluster from the starting cluster layout to the target cluster layout, determines dependencies between the plurality of node level tasks, and determines an order for the plurality of node level tasks based on the cluster management operation and the dependencies. The processing device then creates an execution plan that divides the cluster management operation into the plurality of node level tasks in the determined order.
