Abstract: A Fano resonator device can be used to sequence DNA or other macromolecules. The device includes customized molecular components, informed by computation analysis. Techniques for preparing and using the device also are disclosed. The device can be incorporated in a system that further includes a sample processing component and a flow chamber.

Abstract: A modular cooler assembly that includes: a cooler base, where the cooler base defines an insulated housing; a lid, where the lid covers the cooler base; and a carrying case. The insulated housing defines a receptacle with a closed bottom, closed sides and an open top, wherein the lid defines a planar body sized to cover the open top of the insulated housing to form an enclosure. The lid is hingedly attached to the insulated housing, adapted to hinge between an enclosure position and a flipped position. The lid may further include a pull out drawer, a pair of flip drawer locks and a drawer handle.

Abstract: This invention can be embodied in smart clothing for recognizing full-body human motion based on the pressure levels of a flowable substance within two different sets of flexible tubes or channels which are integrated into clothing (or a wearable accessory) and which span the same body joint. This technology can be used to create a wearable, mobile, reasonably-priced, and relatively-unobtrusive full-body motion-capture system which can be used in diverse environments. Compared to camera-based motion capture systems, this invention can be mobile and does not suffer from optical occlusion.

Abstract: Walkable photovoltaic floor, constituted of pieces of laminated glass composed of at least two layers of glass (1 and 2), joined together by an encapsulant (6), by an intermediate layer of photovoltaic material (3), and by a peripheral sealed frame (4).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a messaging system, including an electronic mail messaging application having a reply and delete function, and a data storage having an inbox associated with the electronic mail messaging application, the inbox having at least one email stored therein. The reply and delete function composes a reply message to the at least one email and deletes the at least one email from the inbox automatically when the reply message is sent.

Abstract: A shock absorbing leash extension and a leash assembly having the same. The leash extension includes an elastic portion having a first end and a second end, a first loop disposed at the first end of the elastic portion and being connectable to a first hook on a leash, and a second hook disposed at the second end of the elastic portion and being connectable to a second loop on a collar.

Abstract: Network signalling apparatus and methods use at least an SCCP protocol layer of Signalling System number 7 (SS7) and other protocol layers. The SCCP protocol layer supports connectionless and connection-oriented protocol services, and network management procedures are carried out on a per protocol service basis, that is, network management procedures at SCCP are independently treated for connectionless and for connection-oriented protocol services.
