Abstract: Disclosed herein is a ladder adapted to service the engine of a tractor-trailer truck. The ladder comprises a set of rails having rungs extending between them. A set of rear rails is coupled to the set of rails. A pair of stability beams, terminating in ground contacting feet, extends rearward from the front rail and rear rails on each side of the ladder. A platform, extending rearward from between the set of rails, provides a planar surface allowing a mechanic access to the engine.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of improving disease tolerance of a crop plant by improving and/or inducing long-term disease tolerance of the crop plants against one or more of fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases. The methods provided in the present disclosure have desirable properties and related advantages compared to other methods known in the art.

Abstract: Methods of using substituted 2-anilinopyrimidine derivatives, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or compositions, for the treatment of brain cancers, in particular EGFR-mediated metastatic brain cancer, are disclosed.

Abstract: Provided is a label assembly having a top film and base film with first edges and opposite second edges. Graphics may be placed on the top film. The base film may be adhered to the top film such that the top and base films include an offset portion and an opposite underhang portion. The offset portion and the underhang portion may engage to create an offset butt seam along the length of the films and form a generally tubular shaped label assembly configured to be slid or wrapped around a cylindrical shaped object. The offset butt seam may be contiguous about the perimeter of the label assembly. Alternatively, the base film with a first edge and an opposite second edge may be abutted against one another and held together with a seaming ribbon placed along an inner surface of the film adjacent to the first edge and second edge.

Abstract: An apparatus for optical imaging of a low radiance object is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a fixed polychromatic imaging device, the optical path between the polychromatic imaging device and the low radiance object being defined by a first section extending from the polychromatic imaging device to a fixed point, and a second section extending from the fixed point to the low radiance object. The apparatus also comprises a fixed high-sensitivity imaging device, the optical path between the high-sensitivity imaging device and the low radiance object being defined by a third section extending from the high-sensitivity imaging device to the fixed point, and the second section; and a focus controller arranged to control the focus of the high-sensitivity imaging device based on the focus of the polychromatic imaging device and the respective lengths of the first and third sections.

Abstract: A user device can send, to a server, a request for a set of documents likely to be opened by a user, determine a client-suggested document to present to the user and a potential motive for the user to open the client-suggested document, receive a suggestion message from the server, the suggestion message including a set of documents likely to be opened by the user and potential motives for the user to open documents in the set of documents, and present, on a display of the user device, visual representations of the client-suggested document, the potential motive for the user to open the client-suggested document, multiple documents included in the set of documents, and the potential motives for the user to open the multiple documents in the set of documents.
