Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and platforms using Receptor Compartmentalized Partnered Replication (CPR), in which the partner gene is a receptor, signal transduction pathway, or metabolic pathway that leads to the production of an effector molecule for the receptor or signal transduction pathway. The signal transduction pathway or receptor is coupled to the production of a thermostable polymerase. Emulsification of libraries of organisms with primers that can amplify the partner gene led to the selective amplification of those partner genes that were best able to produce the thermostable polymerase during thermal cycling of the emulsion.

Abstract: A golf club head is disclosed having a main body comprising a face portion, a top portion, a bottom portion opposite the top portion, a toe portion and a heel portion opposite the toe portion. The golf club head includes one or more slideably adjustable weights within one or more weight tracks and/or one or more interchangeable weights within one or more weight ports, the weights provided so as to adjust a center of gravity (CG) of the golf club head.

Abstract: A golf club head having two adjoining flush surfaces and method of manufacturing same is disclosed. In one embodiment, a golf club head includes a main body comprising an opening and a recessed flange formed along at least a portion of a peripheral edge defining the opening; at least one compressible shim disposed on a surface of the flange, the at least one compressible shim being compressible to at least 50% of its original uncompressed thickness; and a cover plate shaped and sized to fit within the opening, wherein a first portion of a mating surface of the cover plate is affixed to the surface of the flange and a second portion of the mating surface is disposed on top of the at least one compressible shim, wherein the compressible shim is in a compressed state such that an outer surface of the cover plate is flush with an adjacent surface of the main body.

Abstract: Described are embodiments of golf club heads having an internal cavity and features that cause the golf club head to have an improved acoustic performance when striking a golf ball. Some embodiments include one or more weight tracks and/or weight ports formed in the sole for receiving adjustable weights. The golf club heads can include one or more internal ribs, thickened wall regions, and/or posts positioned within the cavity that increase the rigidity of the club head and improve the acoustic performance of the club head when striking a ball.

Abstract: An animal alert device comprising a sound emitting device, the sound emitting device having an internal geometry configured to emit sound while a vehicle is in motion, an attachment portion having a first portion, a second portion, and a transition portion, wherein the attachment portion is configured to engage a window of the vehicle when in a first position, and an extension portion operably connecting the sound emitting device and the attachment portion, wherein the animal alert device is movable from the first position to a second position from a position within the vehicle is provided. Furthermore, an associated method is also provided.
