Abstract: Digital assay system, including methods, apparatus, and compositions, for assay of one or more targets in a set of partitions containing a generic reporter of target amplification.

Abstract: Activity feeds let users know about what is happening, and stay connected, with their friends and games. Users are able to discover new and exciting stories, games and friends. The information presented for a particular user is the most relevant information for that user. Relevancy is used to determine the priority of how items/feed stories are presented for a user. Feed stories are shown for a particular user's friends. The most popular trending stories are shown to all users based on relevancy rules. Most popular trending stories are determined based on the ones that have the most comments and likes. The activity feeds relating to a particular type are able to be condensed and presented to the users. Custom actions for the particular type of condensed activity feeds are identical. Condensed activity feeds are displayed using a predefined format “condensed title.

Abstract: Digital assay system, includes methods, apparatus, and compositions, for distinguishing and measuring different types of templates according to the different lengths of corresponding amplicons, which may be amplified by the same pair of primers. The system may include a length-sensitive reporter generating luminescence that varies according to amplicon length. The system may, for example, be utilized to identify, distinguish, and/or quantify wild-type and mutant/variant templates, processed and unprocessed template, a target template and a primer dimer, or the like.

Abstract: An information processing device according to one embodiment includes a receiving unit, a frame generation unit, an acquisition unit, an embedding unit and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives a request for a full size frame from a user terminal. The frame generation unit generates the full size frame having a size of a region occupied by a plurality of objects to be displayed on a plurality of pages arranged in a specified direction. The acquisition unit acquires, from an object storage unit, all initial display objects to be embedded in an initial display page. The embedding unit embeds the initial display objects in the full size frame. The transmitting unit transmits the full size frame in which the initial display objects are embedded to the user terminal.

Abstract: A method of treating putrescible cakes to reduce the E. Coli and odor present in the cake and prevent further odor generation comprising the step of maintaining the cake under substantially anoxic condition in the presence of ammonium and/or nitrate moieties at pH 7.5 to pH 10.5 for a period of more than 1 day, the cake having a solids content of between 20% to 75% by weight.
