Abstract: Gene expression can be identified by analyzing a DNA sequence. The DNA sequence can include a barcode sequence that corresponds to a particular gene. The barcode sequence can be produced during the expression of a gene by first adding a Homologous Directed Repair (HDR) template including the barcode sequence into the DNA sequence of the gene and then splicing the barcode sequence out of an RNA precursor during the expression of the gene. As the barcode sequence is made available from the RNA precursor, it can be added to the DNA strand using HDR. The resulting DNA strand can be sequenced and the sequence data can be analyzed to identify the barcode sequence within the DNA sequence, which provides an indicator of the expression of the gene in DNA rather than RNA.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure support a head-mounted display (HMD) wirelessly coupled to a console. The HMD includes a positional tracking system, a beam controller and a transceiver. The positional tracking system tracks position of the HMD and generates positional information describing the tracked position of the HMD. The transceiver communicates with a console via a wireless channel, in accordance with communication instructions, the communication instructions causing the transceiver to communicate over one directional beam of a plurality of directional beams. The beam controller determines a change in the positional information. Based on the change to the positional information, the beam controller determines a directional beam of the plurality of directional beams. The beam controller further generates the communication instructions identifying the determined directional beam, and provides the communication instructions to the transceiver.

Abstract: A method for processing sugarcane juice from raw sugarcane stalks to produce various forms of a natural sugarcane juice product preserves policosanols naturally occurring in the raw sugarcane stalks, resulting in policosanol-rich natural sugarcane juice-based products such as a drinking beverage, a concentrated sweetening agent, and a nutraceutical product. The method may include steps of providing sugarcane stalks having high policosanol concentrations; extracting sugarcane juice from the sugarcane stalks via a series of roller mills; filtering the extracted sugarcane juice; stabilizing the pH of the juice in a non-acidic solution of calcium hydroxide; flocculating the sugarcane juice to remove undesirable impurities; optionally, evaporating the sugarcane juice to form a policosanol-rich sugarcane juice concentrate and extracting the sugarcane juice concentrate from the evaporator.

Abstract: Watermarking of an ordered event stream (OES) is disclosed. Writing events to an OES can advance populating of the OES, which can be correspond to progress values. Progress values can enable a reader to know where it is in an OES. A reported progress value can be determined from the progress values based on an event being committed to the OES. Moreover, an effective progress value can be determined from the progress values and monitoring the OES for events with that defer being committed to the OES. A watermark for the OES can be determined from the effective progress value such that reading beyond the effective progress value is restricted. This can provide confidence that the reader has read out properly committed events and has not omitted any events having deferred commitment.
