  • Patent number: 11971238
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for detecting and displaying a number of rounds in a firearm magazine comprising a maximum number of N rounds. The magazine may comprise a follower, magnets on the follower, and <N magnetic switches arranged along a path of the magnets when the follower moves along a length of the magazine, the switches configured to activate based on a magnetic field exceeding a threshold, and a first antenna arranged on an inside of the magazine and parallel to a firing direction of the firearm, and configured to wirelessly transmit a round count indication to a second antenna on the firearm, the round count indication based on the round count data, the second antenna affixed to an inside of a magazine well of the firearm and mostly overlapping with the first antenna.

  • Publication number: 20220160774
    Abstract: Non-coding RNA, such as miRNA, expression data derived from a cell population is used to infer the propensity of that cell population for a cellular functional effect for a pre-determined purpose, which effect is temporally, procedurally or interventionally separated from the cell population from which the expression data is derived. Thereby, the cellular functional effect of a cell population can be predicted in order to improve decisions and selections to be made relating to the use of cells, e.g. from cells deriving from different donors or batches, for use in bioprocess application or cell therapeutics, in order to enhance productivity, efficiency and/or efficacy.

  • Publication number: 20080102463
    Abstract: A nucleotide acid sequence is provided encoding a protein having NAALAdase like activity. NALADase activity has been found to be decreased in schizophrenic brain tissue. Its encoded protein can be used to screen for glutamate peptidase modulators.

  • Publication number: 20080104168
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for displaying high resolution content generated by a securely hosted application program for the exploration and production of geologic resources on a thin client system in a client/server computer network. A user interface is presented for accessing the application program which is hosted on a server. After the application program is selected, a least utilized node in the client/server computer network is determined for executing the selected application program via the thin client system. Images generated by the executed application program are packaged into a remote access application server display protocol and displayed as high resolution images on the thin client system. The high resolution images may be displayed on multiple displays associated with the thin client system.

  • Publication number: 20070117146
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated polynucleotides encoding a receptor gene called GPR50 having at least one polymorphic sites. It furthermore provides a method for analyzing polymorphic sites in the receptor gene. Certain of these polynucleotides having a polymorphic site (allelic variants) are found to be more prevelant in a population of patients with clinical Bipolar Depression compared to a control population. A method for the genetic testing of Bipolar Depression is a further embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, polynucleotides encompassing these polymorphic sites, the invariant distal or proximal to the polymorphic site localized polynucleotides as well as the polynucleotides encoding CPR50 are part of the invention. The present invention also provides a recombinant cell line expressing these novel receptors at appropriate levels such that novel compounds active at these receptors may be identified for therapeutic use.

  • Patent number: 4092551
    Abstract: An improved speed up circuit, especially useful with high speed, push pull circuits, is disclosed. This uses only A.C. power to discharge the interelectrode and depletion capacitances of an output transistor thereby eliminating uncontrolled shunt current from the output to ground through the output transistor thereby allowing the output to reach the desired level in a shorter period of time. These desirable results are accomplished by capacitively coupling a resistor-transistor speed up circuit to the base of the output transistor to actively pull the base of the output transistor to ground and discharge the inherent interelectrode and depletion capacitances of the output transistor.
