Abstract: The invention provides DNA compositions that relate to transgenic insect resistant maize plants. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the maize DAS-59122-7 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the maize genome and the DNA sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are provided.

Abstract: A system for operating an autonomous agent with incomplete environmental information can include and/or interface an autonomous operating system and an autonomous agent. A method for operating an autonomous agent with incomplete environmental information includes any or all of: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of known objects in the ego vehicle's environment; determining a set of blind regions in the ego vehicle's environment; and inserting a set of virtual objects into the set of blind regions; selecting a set of virtual objects based on the set of blind regions; operating the autonomous agent based on the set of virtual objects; and/or any other suitable processes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a packaging article. In an embodiment, the packaging article includes (A) a container having (i) a top wall and a bottom wall and (ii) a plurality sidewalls extending between the top wall and bottom wall. The walls define a compartment. The packaging article includes (B) an upper sheet in the compartment, the upper sheet composed of 3-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM). The upper sheet extends between and contacts two opposing sidewalls of the container. The packaging article includes (C) a lower sheet in the compartment, the lower sheet composed of 3DRLM. The lower sheet extends between and contacts two opposing sidewalls of the container. The two sheets are in opposing relation to each other. The packaging article includes (D) a product disposed between the upper sheet and the lower sheet.

Abstract: This invention provides a system for modeling neurodegenerative and other diseases through somatic gene transfer. In addition, methods of multiple gene transfer, disease analysis and drug testing are provided for.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for switching a cable television receiver from a non-module tuning mode to a module tuning mode is disclosed. To switch from the non-module tuning mode to the module tuning mode, a cable tuning module is detected, module tuning data is acquired, and the cable television receiver is switched from the non-module tuning mode to the module tuning mode responsive to a measure of the acquired module tuning data.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions for benzylidene- and cinnamylidene-anabaseines and methods for using these compositions for treating conditions associated with defects or malfunctioning of nicotinic subtypes brain receptors. These compositions target the alpha7 receptor subtype with little or no activation of the alpha4beta2 or other receptor subtypes.

Abstract: A tapered tubular pole with base connection wherein the tubular multi-sided pole wall is connected to the anchor bolts of the concrete and steel base by a multiplicity of individual connector bodies arranged in side by side relation around the periphery of the tubular sidewall at the lower end thereof, each of the connector bodies having a structural flange bearing against the outside of the tubular sidewall and connected thereto by a structural weld, the connector body having anchor bolt-receiving holes, and a diaphragm extending transversely across the pole and within the tubular sidewall and at the level of the structural welds by which the connector bodies are connected to the sidewall, the diaphragm being affixed to the sidewall.
