Abstract: A method for detecting DNA variation. First, by aligning trace data of a sample DNA sequence to trace data of a reference DNA sequence to produce an aligned sample DNA sequence. Then, inputting the trace data of the bases of both the reference DNA sequence and the aligned sample DNA sequence for a particular frame number into a non-linear mathematical function of an anti-correlation calculation scheme for all the frame numbers. Minimal values will be produced at the particular frame number for DNA base trace data of the aligned sample DNA sequence which are not a variation as compared to the reference DNA sequence. Values above the minimal values will be produced at the particular frame number for DNA base trace data of the aligned sample DNA sequence which are a variation as compared to the reference DNA sequence.

Abstract: A method of restoring energy in the human body to its natural pathway using body jumpers. The body jumpers are either a set of two or three electrical conducting pads which are interconnected. The method involves proper placement of the body jumpers on a human body and holding the body jumpers in place for a certain amount of time. The method and set of body jumpers employed depends on the results of a muscle test.

Abstract: Compacting, fully enclosed, floored combination multi-antechamber and ramp system for emergency and civil defense use providing, when expanded, means of ingress and egress for the general population including the infected, wounded and handicapped to and from buildings or other folding structures via portals to which its adapter may be securely attached or retrofit while passing through a series of two or more antechambers so as to prevent spreading contamination and allow for various decontamination protocols to be conducted in separate chambers. Compacting is achieved by modularity in some embodiments, and folding in other embodiments, in both framed and panel versions, providing important advantages for transport, pre-positioning, storage, and warehousing.

Abstract: A wireless network system that utilizes a multi-beam antenna to communicate with multiple remote stations. The system includes a hub and one or more remote stations. The hub is connected to a source which requires communication with the remote stations, in order to exchange information, such as data and/or voice transmissions. The hub includes a multi-beam antenna assembly, one or more hub radio transceivers, an Ethernet switch, and a controller. Each remote station includes a single directive antenna, a single remote station radio transceiver, an Ethernet switch, and a controller. The multi-beam antenna assembly includes a beam former and a multi-beam antenna. The multi-beam antenna at the hub provides the ability to communicate with more than one remote station at a time. Communication between the hub and remote stations is via a line of sight radio path using directive antenna beams associated with the multi-beam antenna and the remote station antenna.

Abstract: A bow press for securing an archery bow having limbs. The bow press has a main frame to support other components of the bow press. The main frame includes a main frame cross member, an adjustment mechanism mounted to the main frame, a bow limb flexing assembly mounted to the main frame cross member adapted for receiving the archery bow, and a limb inside contact assembly adapted to secure the archer bow against the bow limb flexing assembly and mounted to the adjustment mechanism, whereby the limb inside contact assembly can be moved to due to actuation of the adjustment mechanism.

Abstract: A drop rest assembly, for an archery bow that allows for resting of arrow which is to be fired by the archery bow. The drop rest assembly includes a mounting section adapted to mount to the archery bow. The drop rest assembly includes a drop rest section mounted to the mounting section. The drop rest section includes a drop rest mount which mounts to the mounting section. The drop rest section includes an arrow rest rotatably mounted to the drop rest mount, where the arrow rest mechanically biased away from an arrow resting position. The drop rest assembly includes a tension string connected to the arrow rest for rotating the arrow rest to the arrow resting position, such that release of the tension string allows the arrow rest to move away from the arrow resting position due to the arrow rest being mechanically biased away from the arrow resting position.
