Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of genetic engineering. In particular, the repair, reversion and/or conversion of genetic mutations that are linked to a muscular dystrophy disease. Specifically contemplated are gene editor nuclease proteins or base editor proteins that are targeted to the muscular dystrophy genetic mutations or pathogenic variants. Such gene editor nuclease proteins include, but are not limited to Cas12a nuclease proteins and adenine base editor proteins. Repair, reversion and/or disruption of the genetic mutation or pathogenic variant reduces at least one symptom of a muscular dystrophy disease.

Abstract: A Link 16 terminal. The Link 16 terminal includes a red enclave. The red enclave comprises a Link 16 radio. The Link 16 radio is configured to send commands to Link 16 modems. The commands specify time slots when operations in the commands should be performed by the Link 16 modems. The Link 16 terminal further includes a black enclave physically separated from the red enclave. The black enclave includes a Link 16 modem configured to receive commands from the Link 16 radio. The Link 16 terminal further includes a communication channel configured to facilitate communication between the red enclave and the black enclave. The Link 16 radio is configured to dynamically adjust when commands are sent to the Link 16 modem with respect to time slots specified in the commands based on latency between the Link 16 radio and the Link 16 modem.

Abstract: By using allocated spectrum from the mobile station air interface, one or more remote, child access points within a wireless communication network establish backhaul connections to a parent access point having conventional backhaul links to the network. In this manner, backhaul traffic is carried on the standard air interface coexistent with the normal mobile station traffic. Such an arrangement permits parent and child access points to use the standard air interface for both conventional mobile station traffic, as well as backhaul traffic. In an exemplary embodiment, a wireless cellular communication network establishes backhaul connections between one or more child Radio Base Stations (RBSs) and a parent RBS using one or more of the data channels defined by the network's air interface.

Abstract: An automatic gravity-actuated mailbox indicator is adapted for use in combination with a mailbox including a housing with an access opening for receiving mail and a pivoted door for closing the access opening. The mailbox indicator includes a conspicuous object adapted for being viewed from a distance. A supporting stem extends from the object, and has a free end for being wedged between the pivoted door and housing of the mailbox with the door in a closed position. The object is temporarily held at an elevated location relative to the mailbox housing. The mailbox indicator is actuated by gravity upon movement of the pivoted door from the closed position to an open position, such that the object falls from the elevated location to a lowered location thereby providing a readily visible indication of an opening of the pivoted door.

Abstract: A wireless communication network supporting mobile communications includes a mesh of radio base stations (RBSs) interconnected as packet data routing network. The RBSs are RF-coupled together so that adjacent ones may relay communications traffic to each other. By attaching to the mesh of radio base stations at one or more attachment points, communications traffic may be routed between a base station controller and any one of the radio base stations in the mesh based on configuring the appropriate route through the mesh. Preferably, the mesh is implemented as an IP-based routing network with each radio base station in the mesh operating as an addressable routing node within the mesh.

Abstract: An optical filter includes an array of light-transmissive beads in a matrix of opaque binder that surrounds one portion of the beads to provide light entrances and exit apertures for incident light to pass substantially only through the beads. A polarizing layer is disposed between the apertures and the viewing surface of the filter for improved rejection of ambient light. The polarizing layer transmits linearly polarized image light aligned with the polarization axis while attenuating randomly or orthogonally polarized ambient light, resulting in improved image contrast.

Abstract: Disclose is a system, method, and program for accessing files maintained in a server that is capable of being accessed over a network. A request is received for a file maintained in the server. A determination is then made as to whether a copy of the requested file is stored in a storage system. The system then determines a delay time associated with retrieving the copy of the requested file from the storage system after determining that the storage system includes the copy of the requested file. A determination is then made as to whether the delay time exceeds a maximum delay time. The system retrieves the requested file from the storage system to return to the request after determining that the delay time does not exceed the maximum delay time. Alternatively, the system retrieves the requested file from the server over the network to return to the request after determining that the delay time exceeds the maximum delay time.
