Abstract: A bait retaining apparatus for retaining bait on a fishhook until cast into a body of water includes a container with two walls which are couplable to enclose the fishhook and bait, and which are separable upon the container striking a water surface to deposit the fishhook and the bait into the water. Floats are coupled to the container to enable the container to act as a bobber once cast into the water. Weights are coupled to the container to facilitate longer casts due to improved capacity for imparting inertia on the bait retaining apparatus.

Abstract: As with database tables in general, a streaming table and its columns are defined within by a database. DML commands are issued against a streaming table that specify to insert rows and values into their defined columns. Change records in a change log (e.g., redo log) are generated to record the changes specified by DML commands. The change log may be used to stream data captured by the change log. However, unlike with database tables in general, the rows of a streaming table are not persistently stored in the database at commit time. Alternatively, rows are stored persistently but without values for columns defined as streaming columns. Columns defined as streaming columns may be set to values specified by DML commands but are not stored in the database; streaming column values are captured in change logs, however.

Abstract: In some examples, a catheter assembly includes a delivery catheter defining a delivery catheter lumen, a delivery catheter handle connected to the delivery catheter, a retrieval catheter defining a retrieval catheter lumen configured to receive the delivery catheter, and a retrieval catheter handle connected to the retrieval catheter. A proximal end of the retrieval catheter handle is configured to removably couple to a distal end of the delivery catheter handle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for tracking freight and certifying the freight. The methods and systems include producing a blockchain ledger having individual blocks comprising special and temporal data of the freight. The individual nodes in the ledger enter information about the freight so that the authenticity of the freight and the transportation conditions can be verified.

Abstract: A paper based overlay is provided. The overlay has a paper impregnated with a resin composition having an acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature in a range of from about ?20° C. to about 40° C. and a resin content from about 15 to about 35 wt. % based on the weight of the overlay and an adhesive is applied at the back of a substrate. The acrylic composition may include wax in the amount of about 0.005 to about 3.5 wt. % based on the weight of the resin composition. A method of producing the overlay is also provided. The overlay is highly water and abrasion resistant with low volatile content.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and computer program products configured to automatically elevate access permissions of a mobile device. Embodiments include a mobile device access permission elevation system configured for transmitting, to a mobile device, signals configured to simulate a connection of one or more peripheral input devices to the mobile device. Embodiments also include transmitting, to the mobile device, signals configured to simulate a sequence of navigational input commands from the simulated peripheral input devices on the mobile device, where the sequence of navigational input commands is configured to elevate the access permissions of the mobile device to an elevated level. Embodiments also include causing execution of one or more computer executable instructions on the mobile device, where the computer executable instructions require the elevated level of the access permissions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of regenerating a skin wound using a perforated dermal regeneration matrix combined with autograft in a single-stage procedure. The size of the perforations and the spacing between perforations in the dermal matrix are selected to facilitate drainage, encourage vessel growth and minimize scar tissue formation.

Abstract: A container may include a container body defining a plurality of recesses configured to hold a plurality of electronic devices, at least one electrical charging device comprising a battery, at least one wiring harness comprising a plurality of devices charging adapters configured to supply power to the plurality of electronic devices from the at least one battery, and at least one computing device comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory. The non-transitory memory may include computer program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to cause the at least one computing device to determine a location associated with the container and/or one or more of the plurality of electronic devices. Systems and methods associated with such containers may also be provided.

Abstract: A portable tactical shooting barricade consisting of cut-out caps over existing cut-outs of the detachable barricade portion of the PTSB (U.S. Pat. No. 10,825,349 b2) to facilitate ballistic breach shooting exercises. A portable tactical shooting barricade with cut-out ports that can be optionally covered by cut-out caps. A portable tactical shooting barricade consisting of shape-matching cut-out caps anchored in place by magnets willfully milled at matching points both in the detachable barricade and the cut-out caps. A portable shooting barricade in which said cut-out caps simulate doors, windows or similar structures so that disengaging these cut-out caps enable the shooter to intentionally engage a target downrange through the existing cut-out previously covered by said cap.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of hydration and cooling devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cooling garment device, further comprised of a water reservoir and at least one drinking straw. The garment is preferably manufactured from a breathable, moisture wicking, fabric base layer that cools a wearer. The straw can further be easily accessed while wearing the garment to allow a wearer to drink water or other liquid that is stored within the water reservoir. In addition, a wearer can also release water from the straw and/or reservoir into the base layer of the garment to further cool oneself. Furthermore, the garment may have a thermometer that reads the internal body temperature of the wearer.

Abstract: A workspace system includes different base components, different accessory interfaces and different accessories. Different accessory interfaces may be fixed to different base components, and different accessories may be releasably engaged by different, or the same accessory interfaces. The same accessories may be engaged by different accessory interfaces. The base components and accessories may be reconfigured to define different workspaces. Methods of assembling and reconfiguring the workspaces are also provided.

Abstract: Apparatuses for flowing multiple fluids in a single channel while substantially maintaining fluid separation are disclosed. In one configuration, the apparatus includes a first internal surface portion with an affinity to a first fluid and a second internal surface portion with an affinity to a second fluid. In another configuration, the apparatus includes a first fluid channel portion, a second fluid channel portion wrapped helically around the first fluid channel portion, and an opening therebetween. Also disclosed is an apparatus for maintaining substantially even fluid flow in fluid pathways having a first flow resistor portion, a second flow resistor portion, and a fluid channel therebetween.

Abstract: Systems and methods of real-time vehicle-based analytics are provided herein.
