Abstract: The present disclosure describes a treatment composition comprising a nanoparticle composition comprising nanoparticles functionalized with surface amine groups and a crosslinking composition comprising genipin. The disclosure also describes a kit comprising the treatment composition, and instructions for using the kit to crosslink the nanoparticles to a tissue graft. The treatment composition and kit can be used to crosslink nanoparticles to a tissue graft, and the resulting tissue graft can be used to replace defective tissue in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: A system for retrieving messages of a supply process in a supply chain and methods for making and using the same. The system may bind a message received from a player of the supply chain with existing related messages, build a binding message set based on bound messages and retrieve the messages based on the binding message set. Messages issued by the player may follow frameworks generated between the player and other players of the supply chain. In accordance to a specific framework, a message between two players may have a common data element and may follow rules proscribed within the framework. Global standards or common data elements is not required, thereby permitting each participant in the supply chain to transmit messages in their preferred format.

Abstract: The present invention provides a series of injectable bionanocomposites that may be delivered via injection to various tissue repair sites including myocardial infarction, intervertebral disc reconstruction, reconstruction of skeletal muscle, and musculoskeletal applications, urinary incontinence, adipose tissue engineering, and orthopedic applications such as osteoporosis, and meniscus and articular cartilage repair.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed at implementing a video thumbnail that facilitates user viewing of video content alongside additional content such as an electronic program guide. The video thumbnail would display the video content that was currently playing when the user requests access to the electronic program guide. The video thumbnail would be situated in a pre-defined portion of the display such that the information within the electronic program guide is not obscured. Furthermore, additional information (e.g. metadata) associated with the video thumbnail can be provided that provides information to the user about what is currently being displayed in the video thumbnail. Lastly, the user is able to perform actions with the electronic program guide without losing the video thumbnail so that the user is able to view the video content while the electronic program guide is displayed.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes computer vision technologies to identify potentially malicious URLs and executable files in a computing device. In one embodiment, a Siamese convolutional neural network is trained to identify the relative similarity between image versions of two strings of text. After the training process, a list of strings that are likely to be utilized in malicious attacks are provided (e.g., legitimate URLs for popular websites). When a new string is received, it is converted to an image and then compared against the image of list of strings. The relative similarity is determined, and if the similarity rating falls below a predetermined threshold, an alert is generated indicating that the string is potentially malicious.

Abstract: Methods are provided for making asphalt mix composition from mixtures of binder, aggregate, and tailings derived from a solvent froth treatment performed to recover bitumen from mined oil sands. The tailings derived from the solvent froth treatment can be used to replace at least a portion of the small particles in the aggregate used for forming the asphalt mix composition.

Abstract: A slat for inter alia an endless conveyor the slat having a main body (10) part of the upper surface (14) of which is transparent. The slat has a cavity (12) formed underneath the transparent surface in which a removable cartridge carrying advertising can be located such that the advertising can be viewed through the transparent surface of the slat.

Abstract: Products and methods for controlling animal wastes are disclosed. The methods include making an inoculum containing a mixture of Bacillus species; mixing the inoculum with animal wastes and then incubating the mixture to result in an enriched culture; and then applying the enriched culture to the animal wastes. The inoculum for controlling wastes includes a mixture of Bacillus species in a liquid medium in which the mixture of Bacillus species were incubated.
