Abstract: A computer system and computer implemented method to develop a relationship according to a multi-step process. The computer system may define a workflow having multiple stages, each stage having one or more game sessions to develop the relationship between participants. The games in successive stages of the workflow may be designed to encourage increased communication between the participants. A workflow may comprise at least three stages including a connect stage, a play stage, and a meet stage. An initial communication may include a written or asynchronous communication. Increased communication may include a voice, video, or real-time communication.

Abstract: A method of processing of solar cells includes determining that a back-contact solar cell is defective. The back-contact solar cell includes a first plurality of interconnect pads at a first edge thereof, and a second plurality of interconnect pads at a second, opposed thereof, the first and second pluralities of interconnect pads having opposite operational charges. The back-contact solar cell is then diced to define at least first and second back-contact solar cell sections. The first back-contact solar cell section has at least two interconnect pads, of the plurality of interconnect pads, at respective opposed edges thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to genetic manipulation of stem and primary cells and to reprogramming of somatic cells, more specifically, human cells. In particular, compositions and methods are disclosed for the generation and maintenance of such engineered cells.

Abstract: A baby blanket includes a generally rectangular base cloth panel with a front face and an opposite rear face and a front cloth panel defining five edges. The front cloth panel is attached to the base cloth panel along four of the five edges so as to define a pocket between the front and base cloth panels and to define an opening into the pocket between the fifth edge of the front cloth panel and the base cloth panel, the pocket configured to receive the baby therein such that the front cloth panel covers substantially the entire torso of the baby. A plurality of tie members are attached to the front cloth panel proximate the fifth edge of the front cloth panel, the plurality of tie members configured to releasably couple to corresponding tie members attached to the base cloth panel so as to maintain the opening in a closed position and inhibit entry into the pocket when the blanket is not in use.

Abstract: DNA sequences encoding human androgen receptor protein and polypeptides and proteins having substantially the same biological activity as human androgen receptor protein and the amino acid sequences of human androgen receptor protein and polypeptides and proteins having substantially the same biological activity as human androgen receptor protein are disclosed. Methods for the production and use of such compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: A multimedia conferencing system has a plurality of remote user terminals, each of which may be different from any other, and each of which may communicate to a central processing hub using different communications protocols. The central processing hub receives, processes, and sends video and audio data from and to the plurality of remote users, and comprises a media bus for handling video and audio data signals, a packet bus for handling data and control signals, a shelf controller card which issues control messages in keeping with incoming management signals, a bus controller card which provides clock and bus arbitration signals, at least one media processor card for processing video and audio signals, and video encoding means for receiving video data from the one or more media processor cards and delivering video data signals to the packet bus. Video and audio data signals may be received by or delivered from any of the at least one media processor card and the at least one physical interface card.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a skin care kit useful skin conditioning. The kit, which includes a skin care composition contained within a dispenser, is particularly useful for providing good moisturization and aesthetics to both cream and lotion users. More particularly, this invention relates to a skin care kit useful for regulating skin condition (especially human skin, more especially human facial skin), including lubricating the skin, increasing the smoothness and suppleness of the skin, preventing or relieving dryness of the skin, hydrating the skin, and/or protecting the skin regulating visible and/or tactile discontinuities in skin, e.g., visible and/or tactile discontinuities in skin texture, more especially discontinuities associated with skin aging.
