Abstract: A container comprises: (i) a hydrogen generating means comprising an active material arranged to generate molecular hydrogen on reaction with moisture; (ii) a catalyst capable of catalyzing a reaction between molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen; and (iii) a barrier means for restricting passage of small organic molecules from a product contained, in use, in the container, to the catalyst associated with a closure or body wall of the container.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to modified orthopoxvirus vectors, as well as methods of using the same for the treatment of various cancers. The disclosure provides modified orthopoxvirus vectors that exhibit various beneficial therapeutic activities, including enhanced oncolytic activity, spread of infection, immune evasion, tumor persistence, capacity for incorporation of exogenous DNA sequences and safety. The viruses we have discovered are also amenable to large scale manufacturing protocols.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for wheel theft detection and notification using a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, wheel theft detection and notification using a TPMS includes monitoring, by an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle, one or more parameters associated with a tire monitoring sensor (TMS) coupled to a wheel assembly of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the ECU determines, based on the monitored one or more parameters, that the wheel assembly is in a compromised state associated with the wheel assembly being dislocated from the vehicle or in danger of being dislocated from the vehicle. In response to determining that the wheel assembly is in the compromised state, the ECU triggers an alarm of a vehicle security system.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for configuring a tire monitoring system are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, configuring a tire monitoring system includes determining a model identifier for a tire; identifying, in a database, one or more stiffness coefficients corresponding to the model identifier of the tire; and transmitting the one or more stiffness coefficients to a component of the tire monitoring system.

Abstract: An apparatus in the form of an adapter for forming a connection comprising a first part adapted for coupling with a second part by a quick-release coupling formed by a first projection of the first part having an at least partial dovetail shape and a recess of the second part having an at least partial dovetail shape. An opening in the recess is adapted for receiving the projection in an axial direction. In other embodiments, the adapter is: (1) frictionally enhanced for engaging an internal portion of the drilling element; (2) includes a radial projection elongated in an axial direction for engaging the internal portion of the one drilling element; and/or (3) has a cutter for scoring an internal portion of the one drilling element upon being inserted therein and rotated. An adapter is also disclosed for use with a drill check, including for creating a “twist lock” connection.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for servers generating a suggested domain name from a requested domain name via a modification using a variation algorithm using a first variation technique in a plurality of variation techniques. The server(s) render a user feedback interface including the suggested domain name and a first and second user interface control encoding a positive and negative response to the variation technique respectively. After decoding a response, the server(s) generate a user interface allowing the user to review which of the suggested domain names have been liked or added to a favorites list by other users.

Abstract: A magnetic sensing apparatus for sensing and tracking the position of a target that is independent of the rotation of the target about the magnetic sensing elements. The apparatus provides increased resolution and increased sensor element to sensor element spacing. Also, the apparatus reduces the susceptibility to external interference from interaction with external magnetic fields.

The server(s) render a user feedback interface including the suggested domain name and a first and second user interface control encoding a positive and negative response to the variation technique respectively. After decoding a response, If the number of positive or negative responses is greater than a threshold, the user responds to a prompt asking if these types of suggested domain names should be consistently suggested or permanently deleted.
