Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an electronic ticket suitable for providing entry to an event. The electronic ticket is capable of being stored, in electronic format, on a mobile user device. The electronic ticket comprises a dynamic entry code for the event such that the dynamic entry code is transitionable from an inoperable state to a functional state, whereby entry to the event is only possible when the dynamic entry code has been transitioned to the functional state. The dynamic entry code is a visual code which is non-readable by humans and is stored in a memory of the mobile user device, such that the inoperable state of the dynamic entry code prohibits the visual code from being displayed by the mobile user device and the functional state of the dynamic entry code permits the visual code to be displayed by the mobile user.

Abstract: A device that may be placed on a biological barrier can be used to perforate the biological barrier for a variety of purposes such as cosmetic, scar treatment or for the delivery of active agents. A flexible substrate has a first side and a second opposing side and a plurality of micropenetrator arrangements each comprising a head and a first and second projection, for penetrating a biological barrier, extending from the head. The first and second projection at least partially extend through the flexible substrate towards the first side. The head comprises an elongate arm for spacing apart the first and second projections. A force is applied to the second side causing flexing of the flexible substrate and pushing the projections into communication with a biological barrier.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a genetically modified host cell capable of producing linalool (or 3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol).

Abstract: The present invention provides genetically modified eukaryotic host cells that produce isoprenoid precursors or isoprenoid compounds. A subject genetically modified host cell comprises increased activity levels of one or more of mevalonate pathway enzymes, increased levels of prenyltransferase activity, and decreased levels of squalene synthase activity. Methods are provided for the production of an isoprenoid compound or an isoprenoid precursor in a subject genetically modified eukaryotic host cell. The methods generally involve culturing a subject genetically modified host cell under conditions that promote production of high levels of an isoprenoid or isoprenoid precursor compound.

Abstract: A system for real time allocation of economic contributions of third parties to a product, the system comprising memory and a processor. The memory includes executable instructions that upon execution by the processor cause the system to: display to a user an image of the predetermined product, the predetermined product having various states based on variable data; receive input data from the user regarding the various states; communicate, in real time, the input data to one or more servers configured to generate at least one simulated product based on the input data; receive, in real time, the simulated product from providers; display, in real time, to the user the simulated product; receive ordering input from the user based on the simulated product; allocate, based on the ordering input of the at least one simulated product, an economic value associated with the ordered simulated product.

Abstract: A pressure sensing apparatus is provided for sensing gas pressure at a pressure tapping. The apparatus has a pressure sensor which provides a pressure measurement signal in response to the pressure of a gas admitted into the sensor at a gas inlet port thereof. The apparatus further has a gas conduit which extends from the inlet port. An end of the conduit distal from the inlet port is adapted to receive the gas at the pressure tapping. The apparatus further has a condenser on the gas conduit. The condenser contains condensation surfaces on which humidity in the gas flowing from the pressure tapping to the inlet port condenses out. In operation the temperature at the condenser is lower than at the pressure tapping.
