Abstract: Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products, particularly creped and through-air dried tissue products, having cloth like properties, such as good drapability and durability. For example, the products generally comprise two plies and have a geometric mean slope (GM Slope) less than about 10.0 kg and a geometric mean tensile energy absorption (GM TEA) of about 15 g·cm/cm2 or greater. In certain instances, the tissue products also have a low degree of stiffness, such as a Stiffness Index less than about 5.00. The tissue products may be prepared from webs manufactured by a print-crepe process that deposits a latex polymer on at least one of the outer surfaces of the tissue web.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel engineered target-biomolecule-producing bacterial strains and methods of producing the same. To engineer bacterial strains capable of producing substantial levels of a target biomolecule, the methods may implement the use of metabolic modeling and machine learning methods. The methods and bacterial strains produced by the methods may be implemented in further optimizing a biosynthetic pathway, e.g., to improve the production of a target biomolecule of interest, e.g., an amino acid, such as threonine.

Abstract: Described herein are wireless smart devices having integrated force, position, acceleration, and rotational sensing for science education (e.g., Newton's laws of motion, kinematics, etc.). An integrated wireless device includes an accelerometer to generate acceleration data based on detecting a current rate of acceleration of the integrated wireless device, a shaft encoder to detect angular positional changes of a shaft or axle of the integrated wireless device over time, and at least one processing unit coupled to the accelerometer. The at least one processing unit is configured to decode angular position data of the shaft encoder into positional data and to synchronize acceleration data received from the accelerometer with the positional data. In one example, a force load cell is coupled to the at least one processing unit. The force load cell measures applied force or impact force.

Abstract: Described herein are propulsive force devices for providing propulsive force to integrated wireless devices for science education (e.g., Newton's laws of motion, kinematics, etc.). A propulsive force device includes a motor to drive a rotating member to generate a propulsive force and a motor driver coupled to the motor. The motor driver controls operation of the motor and at least one processing unit is coupled to the motor driver. The at least one processing unit is configured to receive a control signal from an integrated wireless device to adjust at least one parameter of the propulsive force device. When the propulsive force device is mounted to an integrated wireless device, operation of the propulsive force device may be configured to alter, adjust, or otherwise change dynamic properties of the integrated wireless device during science education experiments.

Abstract: A filter for separating contaminants from fluids. The filter includes stages of differing materials arranged one after another wherein the first stage blocks and captures contaminants of a selected size and passes everything smaller than this selected size. The next stage captures contaminants of a selected size which is smaller than those blocked by the first stage. The subsequent stages capture smaller and smaller contaminants. The layers comprise various materials including stranded meshes, fibrous tissues, metallic screens and ceramic discs and tubes. Some of the ceramic discs and tubes include a downstream coating to capture further contaminants such as water droplets.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for blind hash compression, such as serving, from a computer server system and to a plurality of different computing devices remote from the computer server system, web code and code for reporting status of the computing devices; receiving from one or more of the computing devices, first data that indicates a parameter of the one or more computing devices, the first data in a compressed format; receiving from one or more others of the computing devices, second data that indicates the parameter of the one or more others of the computing devices, the second data in an uncompressed format; and compressing the second data and comparing the compressed second data to the first data to correlate the first data to the second data. The code for reporting status of the computing devices can include code for allowing the computing devices to determine whether to send the first or second data.

Abstract: Described herein are small peptide domains and consensus sequences that bind small target molecules of industrial importance, e.g., metals such as nickel, ? carotene, and isoflavones such as genistein. Also described are fusion proteins containing such binding domains fused to proteins or to peptide domains like GST or CBD that bind other ligands and can be used to immobilize the target binding domain on a support. One class of fusion proteins that is useful in industrial settings are fusions that contain concatemers of target binding domains, which increases the binding equivalents per molecule.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method involves identifying an initial element for serving by a web server system to a client device and recoding the element by creating a plurality of different elements that each represent a portion of the initial element. The different elements are then served in place of the initial element. A response is received form the client device and has portions that correspond to the different elements, and a combined response is created by combining the received portions in a manner that corresponds to a manner in which the initial element was recoded to create the plurality of different elements.

Abstract: A multistage composite fluid separator capable of isolating a first liquid from a composite fluid having at least a first and second liquid, in which the first and second liquids have differing specific gravities or for separating solid contaminates from at least one liquid. An outer housing encloses a plurality of separation chambers. An inlet port delivers the composite fluid through an elongated spillway into the sump of the chambers. Positioned between the inlet and the outlet of each chamber is a plurality of stacked baffles, composed of individual separation flow plates, placed in an inclined relationship. The plurality of baffles creates a flow path in which the composite fluid is forced to flow over each of the individual separation flow plates as the fluid travels upward in the separation chamber toward the outlet port shearing the liquid causing coalescence and coagulation of liquids due to their density and/or viscosity.
