Abstract: Systems and methods for production and presentation of video content are provided. The system can include a transparent panel and a camera positioned adjacent to the transparent panel. The camera can generate a camera signal indicative of image data of a user positioned on a side of the transparent panel opposing the camera. The system can further include a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to or programmed to read the instructions stored in the memory. The processor can be configured to or programmed to: receive the camera signal; receive an overlay signal having at least one visual element; overlay the at least one visual element of the overlay signal on the transparent panel; and control a display of the at least one visual element on the transparent panel such that the at least one visual element is visible to the user and not visible to the camera.
Abstract: The present invention provides immunogenic compositions having one or more polysaccharide-protein conjugates in which one or more polysaccharides from Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterial capsules are conjugated to a carrier protein in an aprotic solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The present invention also provides methods for providing an enhanced immune response to a pneumococcal polysaccharide protein conjugate vaccine comprising administering to a human subject an immunogenic composition comprising polysaccharide-protein conjugates prepared in DMSO conditions.
Abstract: The problems or issues faced by typical larger SSE batteries are solved by providing an interface or interfacial layer at least between the anode, which comprises Li or Na, and the solid state electrolyte (SSE). In some other embodiments, an interfacial layer may be provided between the anode, which comprises Li or Na, and the SSE, and an interface or interfacial layer may also be provided between the cathode and the SSE. In at least selected embodiments, aspects or objects, the interfacial layer may act as a shock absorber between a SSE (e.g., a sulfide glass SSE) and an anode material that is soft compared to the SSE (e.g., Li metal). In other embodiments, the interfacial layer may act as a shock absorber between the SSE and a cathode material that is softer than the SSE. In at least certain embodiments, the interfacial layer may improve ionic conductance between the anode and the SSE and/or the SSE and the cathode.
Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous monitoring of a pipeline or a pipeline network carrying flowing media that can not only detect the presence of a leak but also locate the source of the leak through the use of rarefraction wave detection and methods of using the same is disclosed within. The apparatus and method are specifically configured to locate the leak source within less than 36 inches using a calibration means and a noise cancellation means.
Abstract: The invention relates to the soybean variety designated 01098326. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the soybean variety 01098326. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the soybean variety 01098326 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing soybean plants by crossing the soybean variety 01098326 with itself or another soybean variety and plants produced by such methods.
Abstract: A fan system comprises a hub, a plurality of fan blades, a drive system, and a stationary tube. The hub is configured to rotate. The fan blades are mounted to the hub. The drive system comprises a rotatable hollow output shaft. The hollow output shaft is in communication with the hub, such that the drive system is operable to rotate the hub via the hollow output shaft. The stationary tube is inserted through the hollow output shaft. The stationary tube is configured to remain stationary as the hollow output shaft rotates. Wires and the like may be passed through the stationary tube, to reach an accessory mounted at the bottom of the stationary tube. The fan system may also include a detector, such as a heat detector, a smoke detector, or an accelerometer. The detector may power down the fan system in response to detecting certain conditions.
