Abstract: A catheter interface protection device can include a shield. The shield can include an open bottom, a transparent upper surface, sidewalls, and a cavity at least partially defined by the bottom, the upper surface, and the sidewalls. The device can include a vent. The device can include a clip, a tether, and a latch. A non-therapeutic method of protecting a catheter interface can include extending a catheter in the subject through a slot in a catheter interface protection device, wrapping the catheter at least partially around a clip of the catheter interface protection device, and securing a latch of the catheter interface protection device around the clip. A device for positioning a subject in a prone position can include a padded area including an opening configured to accommodate a catheter interface protection device.

Abstract: Embodiments of synchronized hinges for foldable displays are described. In some embodiments, a hinge may include: a first bracket coupled to a first shaft via a first arm, a second bracket coupled to a second shaft via a second arm, and a synchronization bracket coupled to the first and second shafts.

Abstract: This technology relates in part to methods and compositions for identifying and/or selecting one or more terpene synthase genes and/or variants thereof in a plant, based on which a plant with a desired terpene profile can be obtained and/or used. A desired terpene profile of a plant (i.e., the types and, optionally, the relative amounts of terpenes in a plant) can include, for example, an energetic terpene profile, an anti-nociceptive terpene profile and an insecticidal terpene profile.

Abstract: The technology relates in part to methods and compositions for detecting one or more pathogens in plants. In some aspects, the technology relates to methods and compositions for detecting hops latent viroid in plants. In some aspects, the technology relates to methods and compositions for detecting hops latent viroid in cannabis plants. In some aspects, the technology relates to methods and compositions for classifying a hops latent viroid genotype. In certain aspects, the technology relates to methods and compositions for determining the presence, absence and/or amount of one or more pathogens in plants, either independently or simultaneously. In aspects, the pathogen is a virus. In some aspects, the virus is selected from among one or more of hops latent viroid, beet curly top virus and alfalfa mosaic virus.

Abstract: This technology relates in part to methods of identifying plant cultivars based on the terpene synthase genes that are identified and/or quantified (e.g., copy number, ploidy) in the cultivars. The methods provided herein permit plant cultivars with desired characteristics/phenotypes, e.g., a desired terpene production profile, to be selected for use in various applications, such as agriculture (e.g., selecting cultivars for breeding desired characteristics and/or lineages) and medicine (e.g., therapeutic activity).

Abstract: A holder for a vaping device comprises a housing body having an operative top end and an operative bottom end. The housing body is configured to have a shape complementary to the vaping device for snugly accommodating the vaping device therein. The housing body is closed at the operative bottom end and open at the operative top end. A foldable cover is configured at and extends from the operative top end of the housing body for closing the open end of the housing body. The housing body can include an outer aesthetic layer and an inner cushion layer. Advantageously, the housing body protects the vaping device from shock due to accidental falls while also keeping the vaping device insulated from the surrounding temperatures.

Abstract: A flap actuation system for an aircraft can include a first flap panel connected with a first in-board actuator and a first out-board actuator. A first electronic control unit (ECU) can be electrically coupled to and configured to control the first in-board actuator, and a second ECU can be electrically coupled to and configured to control the first out-board actuator. The flap system may further include a second flap panel connected with a second in-board actuator and a second out-board actuator. A third ECU can be electrically coupled to and configured to control the second in-board actuator, and a fourth ECU can be electrically coupled to and configured to control the second out-board actuator.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a circuit card assembly testing system for testing and troubleshooting new and failed circuit card assemblies. Specifically, circuit card assemblies that are part of a guided missile and launcher test set are tested using a board testing system (BTS), the preferred embodiment, to isolate faults or to verify final assembly. The BTS is used for testing and troubleshooting a wide variety of circuit card assemblies at the end of final assembly and upon their return as a failed item from the field. The BTS is designed to rapidly isolate faults in failed circuit card assemblies that have been returned to a maintenance facility by providing an improved means of fault isolation. The BTS is designed to aid in the production of circuit card assemblies by providing an improved means of rapidly verifying the proper operation of circuit boards after final assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and materials for detecting in a biological sample the presence or absence of a target protein having a frameshift mutation that results in missense amino acid sequence downstream of the frameshift mutation, comprising combining with the biological sample a binding ligand that is capable of specifically binding the missense amino acid sequence, and then determining whether the binding ligand binds to the missense amino acid sequence. Binding of the ligand to the missense amino acid sequence is indicative of the presence of the frameshift mutation.

Abstract: An educational device having a base page, which may be transparent and multiple intervening transparent pages and a structure to hold the multiple intervening transparent layers in registration in which the base layer has a set of problems which are modified by each succeeding overlying layer and in which the numbers are formed by using seven segment blocks similar to those used by light emitting diodes or liquid crystal displays for forming and modifying the numbers and the indication of the operation to be performed if formed by using one to four segment blocks.
