Abstract: Antibodies that bind SARS-CoV spike protein, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and methods of using same for treating or preventing conditions associated with SARS or COVID-19 and for detecting SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract: A method for reconditioning a rollable wheel includes coupling a polymeric wheel to a reconditioning system, the polymeric wheel having an outer surface including an abraded area, the abraded area having a first average surface roughness, and applying heat to the abraded area of the outer surface with one or more heater of the reconditioning system, such that a substantial portion of the abraded area is transformed to have a second average surface roughness, the second average surface roughness less than the first average surface roughness.

Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a device includes detecting the proximity of a beacon or transponder, communicating with a server regarding the identity of the transponder and the device, and controlling the operation of the device according to pre-determined settings. The device may be controlled when it is on or in a vehicle or when it is at a venue. An apparatus for controlling the operation of the device is also described.

Abstract: A system for interactive network access approval includes a server, a first application running on a first device for requesting access to a website on the network, and a second application running on a second device for approving access to the website. The server receives a request via the first application for access to the website, immediately transmits the request to the second application, receives via the second application approval for access to the website, and immediately grants access to the website to the first application. A method for granting access to a website is also described.

Abstract: A method of generating non-thermal atmospheric gas plasmas using an applied voltage with specially-shaped waveforms. The waveforms are shaped to avoid energy wastage by attenuating the voltage in the period after current discharge has occurred. A control system may also be used to shape the applied voltage waveform in response to the gas discharge current.
