Abstract: Provided is a method for fusing store instructions in a microprocessor. The method includes identifying two instructions in an execution pipeline of a microprocessor. The method further includes determining that the two instructions meet a fusion criteria. In response to determining that the two instructions meet the fusion criteria, the two instructions are recoded into a fused instruction. The fused instruction is executed.

Abstract: A method of quantifying expression of a protein of interest with high temporal resolution; it includes providing a cell expressing a large fragment of a split fluorescent protein; transfecting the cell with a vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule comprising a first nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein of interest; a second nucleic acid sequence encoding the small fragment of the split fluorescent protein; and a third nucleic acid sequence encoding a linker protein that is cleaved during translation; quantifying expression of the protein of interest by detecting fluorescence resulting from a combining of the small fragment of the split fluorescent protein and the large fragment of the split fluorescent protein, wherein the linker protein is cleaved during the translation resulting in a stoichiometric ratio of the small fragment of the split fluorescent protein and the protein of interest.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a Protein Quantitation Reporter (PQR) linker which is capable of being cleaved during the translation of a messenger RNA to quantify a protein of interest. The PQR linker can encode a peptide of SEQ ID NO: 23 and have the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25. The PQR linker is located in a nucleic acid molecule encoding a poly-protein between a reporter protein and the protein of interest. While the messenger RNA encoding the poly-protein is being translated, the presence of the PQR linker causes cleavage of the poly-protein and consequently the release at a stoichiometric ratio of the reporter protein and the protein of interest. The signal associated with the cleaved reporter protein can be measured to estimate or quantify the protein of interest.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-link rear suspension for a motor vehicle, having at least one transverse leaf spring arranged on the motor vehicle to extend in the transverse vehicle direction and having ends which operatively act on left and right wheel carriers to cushion a vehicle structure of the motor vehicle with respect to the wheel-carriers. The transverse leaf spring also serves as a stabilizer, thereby replacing dedicated stabilizer. In order to provide a multi-link rear suspension which is optimized in terms of structural space and which is lightweight, the multi-link rear has exclusively transverse links for guiding the wheel-carriers.

Abstract: A multi-functional active container (e.g., luggage or suitcase) with a plurality of sensors and actuators is described. The container may include a body defining an enclosure and having at least one opening. The container may include a processor, a wireless receiver, and an electronically controllable lock. The processor can selectively lock or unlock the electronically controllable lock based on signals received via a wireless receiver (e.g., via Wi-Fi or BLUETOOTH connections). In some examples, a distance between the active container and a remote device (e.g., a smart phone) can be determined (e.g., based on relative GPS signals or connection strength) and if the distance exceeds a threshold, the electronically controllable lock can be activated to secure the container. Further, the container may include a rechargeable power source for powering external devices and an integrated weight sensor for detecting the weight of the container.

Abstract: A flat-packed, transportable room is disclosed, which is intended to be usable to provide private space on demand within a larger office environment. The room of the present invention is configurable in multiple modes, such as one mode for use as a room and a second mode configured to facilitate movement, such as flat-packed.

Abstract: An intelligent coil leveling validating system includes a platform, a coil inputting device, a leveling device, a curvature measuring device and a processor. The coil inputting device is disposed on the platform. The coil inputting device includes an inputting end and the coil. The coil is movably connected to the inputting end. The leveling device is disposed on the platform and configured to move the coil. The leveling device has a practical downward moving distance. The coil is pressed and rolled by the leveling device, and then has a second curvature. The curvature measuring device detects the coil and obtains the second curvature. The processor generates a simulated downward moving distance of the leveling device according to a response surface method. The processor receives the second curvature and performs feedback control to adjust the practical downward moving distance close to the simulated downward moving distance.
