Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a data driver and a demultiplexer circuit. The display panel includes first, second, third and fourth data lines, and first, second, third and fourth sub-pixels respectively coupled to the first, second, third and fourth data lines. The data driver includes a first output channel and a second output channel. The demultiplexer circuit selectively couples at least one of the first data line and the third data line to the first output channel in response to first and second switching signals, and selectively couples at least one of the second data line and the fourth data line to the second output channel in response to third and fourth switching signals different from the first and second switching signals.

Abstract: A method performed by a viewing device includes receiving a request for an operation to be performed by the viewing device. The request includes trigger criteria for performing the operation. The viewing device receives content from a content provider including content related metadata. A detection is made of a condition that the trigger criteria for the operation to be performed has been met. As a result, the viewing device performs the requested operation. The detection made be accomplished by the viewing device or by a service provider.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates in some aspects to methods and compositions for in situ analysis involving catalytic de-crosslinking of biological samples.

Abstract: Heat energy storage systems described herein can be used for long-term storage of large amounts of thermal energy. In some cases, such systems receive electrical energy from renewable energy sources such as solar or wind. Using novel techniques, the heat energy storage systems covert the electrical energy to thermal energy that is stored in hot materials such as molten silicon or any other material that can store large amounts of heat. The heat energy storage systems incorporate extremely good thermal insulation of the thermal energy storage tank that contains the hot materials. The systems are also configured to release thermal energy in an efficient manner to one or more electricity-producing steam turbines and/or to one or more industrial heating systems of manufacturing plants, using novel heat exchanger systems and techniques described herein. The energy storage systems described herein have higher overall real-world efficiencies than energy storage systems currently available.

Abstract: Disclosed is an operating method of an electronic device, including receiving a first user model from another electronic device of a user registered in the electronic device, through a communication circuit of the electronic device, refining a user model of the electronic device based on the first user model, and identifying the user based on a first voice input of the user by using the refined user model, wherein the user model is trained by the electronic device based on a second user model of at least one another user other than the user before the user is registered, and wherein the first user model is trained by the another electronic device based on a second voice input of the user obtained by the another electronic device of the user.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for preparing biological samples for spatial proteomic analysis, methods of determining a location of a protein analyte in a biological sample, and methods of determining a location of a protein analyte and a nucleic acid analyte in a biological sample.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, reagents, methods, kits and systems for improving un-fixing or decrosslinking of fixed biological particles, fixed membrane-bound particles, fixed cells, nuclei and/or the biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, RNA) of fixed cells or nuclei. Processing of nucleic acids and barcoding nucleic acids are disclosed. Methods for increasing amounts and quality of un-fixed biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, RNA) from fixed cells or nuclei are disclosed. Polymers like polyethylene glycol (PEG) increase the amount and quality of ribonucleic acid (RNA) obtained from un-fixed cells or nuclei. Disclosed are methods for using un-fixed cells/nuclei and biomolecules from un-fixed cells/nuclei in various assays. Polymers like PEG increase the efficiency of nucleic acid polymerase reactions (e.g., DNA polymerase, reverse transcriptase) in presence of un-fixing agents. In some examples, PEG increases reverse transcriptase activity, in the presence of proteases, when PEG is included in the reaction.

Abstract: A flexible covering for wires, cables, and the like includes a flexible sleeve in a partially rolled natural state and capable of being unrolled, and at least one pliable rod or insert running through an entire length of the flexible sleeve capable of firmly holding the flexible sleeve in a bent shape while allowing the flexible sleeve to remain wrapped around a bundle of wires.

Abstract: A coordinated greeting card and envelope are provided. The greeting card includes a theme and the envelope contains a window that cooperates with and supplements the theme. A message and/or artwork is provided on panels of the greeting card to define the theme. The envelope may also include indicia cooperating with the window and the theme (e.g., message or artwork) of the greeting card. The envelope may also include indicia to show areas to include a recipient or sender's address. A user may see a portion of the theme of the greeting card through the window of the envelope. The envelope may also have a message to guide the user to orient the greeting card placed in the envelope such that the message or artwork on the greeting card is displayed upright in the window on the envelope. The window may also include a thin and transparent plastic film to protect the contents of the envelope.
