Abstract: In various embodiments methods of distinguishing Crohn's disease from ulcerative colitis are provided. In certain embodiments the methods comprise determining, or causing to be determined, the level of IgG antibodies that bind a malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde adduct (MAA adduct) in a biological sample from a mammal, where an elevated level of said antibodies as compared to the average level found in a mammal with Crohn's disease is an indicator that the mammal has ulcerative colitis rather than Crohn's disease.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds and methods for modulating claudin-1 (CLDN1). More particularly, provided are inhibitors claudin-1 and the uses of such inhibitors in regulating diseases and disorders, e.g., to treat cancer.

Abstract: One or more video creation configuration parameters may be selected based on user input. A plurality of remote computing devices may be selected based at least in part on the video creation configuration parameters. A respective video creation request message may be transmitted to each of the remote computing devices. A plurality of video creation response messages may be received from the remote computing device. Each response message may include a respective input video. An aggregate video may be rendered based on the input videos and stored on a storage device.

Abstract: A roof structure for an agricultural vehicle includes an upper roof assembly and a lower roof assembly connectable to the upper roof assembly. The lower roof assembly or the upper roof assembly includes a ventilation opening for guiding air-conditioned air and a circulation opening for supplying recirculated air. An air-guiding element is arranged between the lower and upper roof assembly. The air-guiding element is further disposed at the circulation opening and the ventilation opening such that a region sealed in relation to an external environment is formed.

Abstract: Presented herein is a high-throughput (HTP) genomic engineering platform for improving the production of therapeutic proteins in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The disclosed HTP genomic engineering platform is computationally driven and integrates molecular biology, automation, and advanced machine learning protocols. The platform utilizes a unique suite of HTP genetic engineering tools to explore the genomic landscape associated with therapeutic protein production pathways, in order to unravel the biological drivers and disentangle the uncharacterized genetic architecture responsible for optimizing therapeutic protein production in CHO cells.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes an inlet header and an outlet header in fluid communication with the inlet header. A conduit is disposed between the inlet header and the outlet header and has an inner surface and an outer surface. A turbulator is positioned in the conduit for disrupting flow of fluid within the conduit. A heat dispersing member is provide on the outer surface of the conduit.

Abstract: A system includes input and output sets processing chambers. The processing chambers of each of the input set and the output set are fluidly coupled and linearly aligned with each other along corresponding input and output directions. The processing chambers process and move a device between the processing chambers along corresponding input and output directions. The processing chambers of the input set separately process the device when the device is located in each of the processing chambers of the input set. The processing chambers of the output set separately process the device when the device is located in each of the processing chambers of the output set.

Abstract: The present invention includes an apparatus, method and system for loading data into a database. The invention includes a spreadsheet dataset, having data in the form of one or more records, a control file containing a set of rules, each rule having a condition and a spreadsheet loader. The spreadsheet dataset and the control file are inputs to the spreadsheet loader. Each rule in the control file is evaluated for each record to determine if the condition is true for the record, and the records are parsed if the condition is true. The spreadsheet loader sends the parsed data to the database. The invention includes a user interface to facilitate creation of the control file.

Abstract: This invention provides a unique Solar/Electromagnetic Energy Cell, Solar/Electromagnetic Energy Collector which can be used to harness solar energy, Solar Lamp which provides light from the output provided by Energy Collector/Cell, Solar Heating Element which can provide energy for cooking food, water heater, room heater or any heating application.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling the operation of a digital processing system. In one example of a method of the invention, a first status indicator is received for a first software program which is executing on the digital processing system, and it is determined whether the first software program is in a first state. In response to determining that the first software program is not in the first state, then a first predetermined function is performed. In one embodiment, several additional status indicators may be received, one for each of several software programs which are executing on the system. For each additional status indicator, it is determined whether the corresponding software program is in the first state, and if it is not in the first state, then a corresponding, predetermined function is performed, such as (for example) relaunching the corresponding software.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling the operation of a digital processing system. In one example of a method of the invention, a request is repeatedly generated for the digital processing system, and a response to the request is normally provided by the digital processing system when it is not in a default state (e.g. when not crashed). If the digital processing system is in a default state then no response is provided, and a control device automatically restarts the digital processing system. In another example of a method of the invention, a status indicator is, when the system is not in a fault state, repeatedly sent to a control device. This status indicator resets a counter in the control device, thereby preventing the counter from reaching a predetermined value. If the counter reaches the predetermined value, then the control device automatically restarts the digital processing system.

Abstract: A power control device which incorporates a microcontroller to control the switching of power of a plurality of outlets. A host computer communicates with the microcontroller through the computer's keyboard interface to instruct the device to turn on or off one or more of the outlets either immediately or at one or more preset future times. An operator communicates with the microcontroller through the computer's keyboard intercede to instruct the device to initiate a sequence of pro-programmed on/off events.
