Abstract: The present disclosure relates to virus-like particles and vaccine compositions for inducing immunity and preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Specifically, the disclosure provides virus like-particles (VLPs) for use in inducing immunity to respiratory syncyhial virus (RSV) infections or symptoms thereof, wherein the VLP comprising a respiratory RSV matrix protein (M) and an RSV M2-1 protein, a glycoprotein (G), a fusion protein (F), and/or a phosphoprotein (P).

Abstract: A conferencing system includes a plurality of ports for network connection to endpoint devices of participants to a conference session. A mixer receives input audio streams from the endpoint devices and then outputs a mixed audio stream back to the endpoint devices. A processor runs a program that automatically downgrades one or more of the participants to the conference session from a full-duplex communication mode to a half-duplex communication mode in response to an event affecting allocation of conferencing resources, the conferencing resources including the ports. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting a lateral conduit from a main conduit including a frame, an upper push rod drive assembly and a lower push rod drive assembly. The upper push rod drive assembly includes an upper track having a plurality of upper attachments mounted thereto for engaging the push rod. The lower push rod drive assembly includes a lower track having a plurality of lower attachments mounted thereto for engaging the push rod. The push rod is held between the upper and lower attachments and in a preferred embodiment, some of the upper attachments, some of the lower attachments and the push rod move with a linearly synchronized motion.

Abstract: In a Voice Over IP telephone system, a method and system for switching to a backup gateway. Only the media path is maintained during the switchover. The call setup information and the history of the call (that is, the control path information) are not maintained, thereby greatly simplifying the switchover. Since the call setup information is not maintained, the calls that are switched to the backup gateway cannot be terminated in a normal manner. Instead, the calls are terminated by detecting inactivity in the media path.
