Abstract: Address range memory mirroring in a computer system, and related methods and computer-readable media. The computer system includes one or more memory mirror agents that are each configured to be programmed to mirror write data of a write request to a memory address mapped to the memory mirror agent. The memory mirror agent is configured to mirror write data to a redundant memory space in memory if the write memory address is within a programmed memory space to be mirrored by the memory mirror agent. The memory mirror agent can be programmed to perform memory mirroring based on specific address ranges to provide flexibility in controlling and changing the exact memory space of the memory system to be mirrored. If an error is detected in read data in response to a memory read request, the memory mirror agent can retrieve the stored redundant data to maintain data integrity.

Abstract: A structure for damping at a fluid manifold assembly for an engine is generally provided. The fluid manifold assembly includes a first walled conduit defining a first fluid passage therewithin. A flow of fluid defining a first frequency is permitted through the first fluid passage. A second walled conduit includes a pair of first portions each coupled to the first walled conduit. A second portion is coupled to the pair of first portions. A second fluid passage is defined through the first portion and the second portion in fluid communication with the first fluid passage. The flow of fluid is permitted through the second fluid passage at a second frequency approximately 180 degrees out of phase from the first frequency.

Abstract: A load distributing and absorbing system that lies below a superstructure material which is exposed to percussive forces. The load distributing and absorbing system is interposed between the superstructure material and a foundation. The system has a barrier layer that lies below the superstructure material and an underlayment infrastructure positioned below the barrier layer. Included in the underlayment infrastructure are hat-shaped absorbing members.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for identifying bio-molecules with desired properties (or which are most suitable for a round of directed evolution) from complex bio-molecule libraries or sets of such libraries. Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods for virtually screening proteins for beneficial properties. Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods for virtually screening enzymes for desired activity and/or selectivity for catalytic reactions involving particular substrates. Some embodiments combine screening and directed evolution to design and develop proteins and enzymes having desired properties. Systems and computer program products implementing the methods are also provided.

Abstract: An audio speaker cover with a central region and a peripheral region. The central region has a surface that faces an observer and a speaker cover body below the surface. The audio speaker cover body defines a plurality of apertures with lands between the apertures. The apertures have cylindrical walls that meet the surface orthogonally. Precisely engineered apertures permit minimal sound transmission loss and allow a high aperture density without sacrificing the ability of intervening lands in the audio speaker cover to protect an underlying speaker.

Abstract: A cartoner infeed bucket includes a bottom wall, a first end wall extending upward from the bottom wall and a second end wall extending upward from the bottom wall and spaced apart from the first end wall to define an item carrying space, the second end wall running substantially parallel to the first end wall. The second end wall is mounted for adjustable movement along the bottom wall so as to vary a spacing between the first end wall and the second end wall and/or the first end wall is mounted for pivotable movement relative to the bottom wall.

Abstract: A load distributing and absorbing system that lies below a barrier layer that is exposed to percussive and/or point-applied forces. The load distributing and absorbing system has one or more load distributing and absorbing tiles. At least some of the tiles have an underlayment infrastructure positioned below a barrier layer. The underlayment infrastructure includes one or more hat-shaped absorbing members. Each has a ceiling primarily for load distribution and a curvilinear wall primarily for load absorption extending from the ceiling. A transition feature is provided to smoothly graduate from one height and type of load distributing and absorbing tile to a load distributing and absorbing tile of another type and height. He system distributes and absorbs forces applied to the barrier layer over a broad area when applied either on a seam between adjacent tiles or within a tile.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for building a sequence activity model with reference to structural data, which model can be used to guide directed evolution of proteins having beneficial properties. Some embodiments use genetic algorithms and structural data to filter out uninformative data. Some embodiments use a support vector machine to train the sequence activity model. The filtering and training methods can generate a sequence activity model having higher predictive power than conventional modeling methods. Systems and computer program products implementing the methods are also provided.

Abstract: A magnetic pouch clamp assembly includes a first and second clamping arms and a magnet assembly. The first clamping arms have respective, opposed first and second clamping surfaces. The second clamp arm is slidably connected to the first clamping arm such that the first and second clamping arms are movable between open and closed positions, with the first and second clamping surfaces being engaged in the closed position. The magnet assembly includes a first magnet having a first polarity carried by the first clamping arm and a second magnet having a second polarity carried by the second clamping arm, the first and second polarities being oriented such that a closing attractive force therebetween holds the first and second clamping surfaces in the closed position. A third magnet can be used to hold the clamping surfaces in the open position or to enhance closing forces.
