Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for full-length whole transcriptome analysis (WTA). Some embodiments comprise 5?-based, 3?-based, and internal-based gene expression profiling. Immune repertoire profiling methods are also provided in some embodiments.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a first network device from a second network device, a request to probe a network connected to the first network device. The request includes an identification of the second network device. The method also includes determining whether the second network device is authenticated to the network based on the identification. The method further includes in accordance with a determination that the second network device is authenticated to the network, causing a response to the received request to be transmitted to the second network device to enable a connection of the second network device to the network. In this way, the enrollee network device can be onboarded to the existing network in an easy and time-saving manner.

Abstract: The Bragg Bridge is the only pool bridge that permits the height of the bridge head to be raised or lowered and tilted upward or downward thereby providing more support positions than conventional bridges; helping the player to avoid miscues or inadvertent contact or fouling the cue ball when attempting an over the ball shot, reducing the shot difficulty.

Abstract: A configuration control transfer (“CCT”) system controls the transferring of control of configuration information of a device from a current configuration source to a target configuration source. A CCT server of the CCT system may send a request for the configuration information of the device where the configuration information of the device currently under control of the at least one first configuration source. The CCT server may also receive the requested configuration information, determine whether the second configuration source is able to support the configuration information of the first configuration source, and based at least on a determination that the second configuration source is able to support the configuration information, request that the device transfer control of the configuration information from the first configuration source to the second configuration source to unenroll the device with the first configuration source and enroll the device with the second configuration source.

Abstract: A food composition for managing non-food allergies in companion animals is disclosed, along with a method of managing non-food allergies.

Abstract: Systems and methods for drying or bonding materials are described. A material to be dried or bonded may be passed through a through air dryer (TAD) (or other dryer). Some of the air output by a TAD may be recirculated to be passed back through material. As the air is recirculated, it is heated and mixed to a desired temperature for drying or bonding. A separate hot air injection system may heat ambient air and/or air exhausted by the TAD and inject the heated air into the recirculated air.

A CCT server of the CCT system may send a request for the configuration information of the device where the configuration information of the device currently under control of the at least one first configuration source. The CCT server may also receive the requested configuration information, determine whether the second configuration source is able to support the configuration information of the first configuration source, and based at least on a determination that the second configuration source is able to support the configuration information, request that the device transfer control of the configuration information from the first configuration source to the second configuration source to unenroll the device with the first configuration source and enroll the device with the second configuration source.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure relates to a carton for dispensing compressed tissue sheets comprising a carton having an oversized carton opening and a compressed stack of tissues, such as facial tissues. The compressed carton can significantly reduce costs associated with shipping such low density products. The oversized carton opening permits the compressed stack of tissues to expand, releasing the compression of the tissue stack and allowing the tissues to be dispensed normally.

Abstract: A configuration control transfer (“CCT”) system controls the transferring of control of configuration information of a device from a current configuration source to a target configuration source. A CCT server of the CCT system may send to the device a message requesting the configuration information of the device. In response, a CCT client of the CCT system collects the configuration information of the device and sends the collected configuration information to the CCT server. If the second configuration source can support the configuration information of the current configuration source, the CCT server requests that the device transfer control of the configuration information from the current configuration source to the target configuration source. The CCT client then transfers control of the configuration information to the target configuration source as the new current configuration source and un-enrolls the device from the former current configuration source.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure relates to a carton for tissue products comprising a carton and an overwrapped compressed stack of tissues, such as facial tissues. The compressed carton can significantly reduce costs associated with shipping such low density products. The overwrapped compressed stack of tissues has a tear strip, which permits the compressed stack of tissues to expand, releasing the compression of the tissue stack and allowing the tissues to be dispensed normally.

Abstract: A flexible, scalable hardware input device for interacting with a variety of devices ranging from a phone, to a media playback device to a steering wheel or a tablet PC is provided. The input device includes a set of mechanical input controls, each mapping to one or more independent functions and a set of touch sensitive input control areas (e.g., capacitive), where each touch sensitive input control area receives touch input independently. In addition, one or more of the touch sensitive input control areas interchangeably overlay one or more of the mechanical input controls, whereby interaction with the touch sensitive input control areas is processed together to determine a corresponding function for controlling the application, service or computing device.

Abstract: Push to talk (PTT) devices that communicate packet-based voice communications are disclosed. An example PTT device receives voice packets via a packet-based communication network from another PTT device. Voice information in the received voice packets are used to reconstruct the voice communication. The receiving PTT device is able to identify an occurrence of at least one delayed, corrupted or lost voice packet, and then communicate a packet re-transmit request to the other PTT device requesting a replacement voice packet that has a portion of the voice communication that is identical to the voice communication portion of the delayed, corrupted or lost voice packet. The voice communication may then be repaired based on the received replacement voice packet. While the voice communication is being repaired, a comfort tone may be generated so that the listener of the PTT device understands that the voice communication is being repaired.

Abstract: A facility for congestion management and latency prediction is described. In various embodiments, the facility sums a series of fractional transmission delays wherein each fractional transmission delay is measured as a probability of a failed transmission attempt multiplied by the cost of the failed transmission attempt, and provides the sum.
