Abstract: Systems and methods of implementing a finite-state machine using electronic notifications delivered to a client device in a computer networking environment are provided. A content item can be received, along with first and second notifications associated with the content item. The first and second notifications can be stored in a queue. In some implementations, a state machine can be maintained in which at least some states may cause the first or second notifications to be displayed, and in which transitional conditions between states may depend at least in part on user interaction with the displayed notifications.

Abstract: Provided are Siglec-based chimeric polypeptides. Accordingly there is provided a chimeric receptor comprising: (a) an extracellular domain comprising an amino acid sequence of a Siglec-7 or a Siglec-9 receptor capable of binding a Siglec-7 and/or a Siglec-9 ligand; and (b) an intracellular domain comprising an amino acid sequence capable of transmitting a co-stimulatory signal in an immune cell expressing the chimeric receptor upon binding of said extracellular domain to said ligand. Also provided are polynucleotides encoding same, cells expressing same and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: A wearable respiratory isolation system is configured as an open collar to be worn loosely around the neck of the user, with an articulating arm positioning a mouthpiece in front of the mouth and nasal region of the user. The system provides filtered and sterilized air through a inhalation vent on the mouthpiece which creates a curtain of sterilized air in front of the users face, which protects the users face from air bourne pathogens provides sterile air for the user to inhale. Exhaled air is extracted through an exhalation vent on the mouthpiece, is decontaminated and exhausted to the rear of the user. A modified, background oriented Schlieren imaging technique is used to determine whether the user is inhaling or exhaling, and this information is used to control the flow of sterilized air and the capture of exhaled gases.

Abstract: A wipe comprising a flexible body is disclosed herewith. The wipe may be provided as a component of a wipe and a bag kit having the wipe and a bag, the wipe disposed within the bag. The wipe comprises a flexible body having an open end. The flexible body may be constructed of fabric. The wipe can be shaped and dimensioned complementary to a human male penis such that the human male penis may be inserted into the open end. The wipe may be pre-wetted with water and one or more additives.

Abstract: Low power MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) radiation is used to non-invasively record molecular activity in a biological object such as a brain. Low power MASER radiation is also used to neuromodulate molecular targets via Rabi coupling, resulting for example in conformational and function change in specific molecular targets such as ligand-gated ion channels, voltage-gated ion channels, G-proteins, or dopamine receptors. The method can be used to change the energy state of targeted molecules via energization or enervation, or to ablate targeted molecules.

Abstract: A phased-array MASER detector for synthetic aperture interferometric three-dimensional imaging. The detector elements, for example 102-106 zero bias Schottky detector diodes with sufficient sensitivity to reliably detect various values of MASER radiation, are arranged in layers offset in three dimensions. The phased-array MASER detector is particularly useful for detecting characteristics in a biological object using low energy (2-10 Watts), coherent MASER radiation. MASER intensity data of an interferometric pattern is collected by the detector array, is deconvolved, and is used to generate three-dimensional energy activity maps for a given time slice or on a time-shifting basis.

Abstract: A MASER (Microwave Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation) emitter is fabricated of thin film components, including a thin film of nitrogen-implanted, epitaxial crystal diamond. The MASER elements can also include a controllable Q-switching layer and be arranged in a thin panel, phased array to generate a single beam of coherent, mode-locked, continuous wave MASER radiation.

Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules that include a nucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and a nucleotide sequence encoding a protease sensitive scFv, wherein the chimeric antigen receptor comprises: an scFv targeting a tumor antigen, a spacer, a transmembrane domain, a co-stimulatory domain, and a CD3 ? signaling domain; and the protease-sensitive scFv and the scFv target the same tumor antigen are described.

Abstract: Implementations disclose a notification delivery mechanism for present viewing users. A method includes identifying a notification to be sent to a user having a plurality of user devices; selecting a first user device of the plurality of user devices based on a playback state of the first user device; and upon selecting the first user device, transmitting the notification to the first user device without transmitting the notification to other user devices of the plurality of user devices.

Abstract: Systems, methods and cartridges for carbonating or otherwise dissolving gas in a precursor liquid, such as water, to form a beverage. A gas source can be provided in a cartridge which is used to generate gas that is dissolved into the precursor liquid. A beverage medium, such as a powdered drink mix or liquid syrup, may be provided in the same, or a separate cartridge as the gas source and mixed with the precursor liquid to form a beverage. The use of one or more cartridges for the gas source and/or beverage medium may make for an easy to use and mess-free system for making sparkling beverages, e.g., in the consumer's home.

Abstract: Implementations disclose livestream conversation notifications. A method includes receiving, via a first user device over a network, a livestream video; presenting, via the first user device to a first user, the livestream video; selecting a second user with whom the livestream video is to be shared, the selecting being based on relevance of content of the livestream video to the second user; and causing a transmission, to a second user device of the second user, of a notification that at least the first user is watching the livestream video.
