Abstract: A cable tether for managing an electric vehicle charging cable is described. The cable tether comprises a housing that houses a spring clamp and a compression pad. The housing including an opening for the electric vehicle charging cable to pass through. The spring clamp includes two openings that allow a shaft member attached to an arm of the electric vehicle charging station to pass through, where a first segment of the spring clamp includes a first opening of the two openings and a portion that extends into the first opening, and where the portion that extends into the first opening slots into a cutout portion of the shaft member as the shaft member is passed through the two openings to latch the spring clamp onto the shaft member. The compression pad that is attached to the housing of the cable tether for gripping the electric vehicle charging cable.

Abstract: Automated spatial feature engineering techniques may include (1) automatically deriving new features (e.g., spatial lags) based on spatial relationships between or among observations, (2) using parameter optimization techniques to optimize parameters of the spatial feature engineering process (e.g., parameters relating to the size of spatial neighborhoods and/or to the orders of spatial lags), (3) automatically deriving new spatial features representing geometric properties and/or spatial statistics associated with individual spatial observations, (4) determining the feature importance of location features, and/or (5) automatically partitioning spatial datasets such that spatial leakage is reduced, which generally leads to the development of more accurate spatial models. Such techniques may involve joint treatment of distinct location coordinate features as a single location feature for purposes of determining feature importance.

Abstract: The invention described herein provides gene therapy vectors, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, that co-express two or more GOIs. The vectors of the invention can be broadly used to treat a number of genetic disorders such as trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders.

Abstract: The invention described herein provides gene therapy vectors, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, that co-express a functional protein (such as a miniaturized human micro-dystrophin gene product) and one or more additional coding sequences for an RNAi sequence (siRNA, shRNA, miRNA), an antisense sequence, a guide sequence for a gene editing enzyme (such as an sgRNA for CRISPR/Cas9, or a crRNA for CRISPR/Casl2a), and/or a micro RNA, and methods of using the vectors to treat subjects suffering from a muscular dystrophy such as DMD/BMD.

Abstract: A method for protecting moderator access using a communication device. The method includes: displaying an interface for editing a conference call profile, the conference call profile including conference call scheduling information including one or more addressees for communicating with a conference call server, wherein the conference call scheduling information further includes a moderator access code and a participant access code; generating an indicator for the conference call profile for excluding sending of the moderator access code to invited participants; and storing the conference call profile including the indicator in a memory of the communication device. A communication device can be configured to perform the method.

Abstract: A method for identifying a conference call from a communication device, wherein the communication device includes a memory for storing a calendar event record. The method includes: parsing at least some of the calendar event record, wherein the parsing includes an automatic discovery feature; determining, based on the parsing, whether the calendar event record includes conference call scheduling information in relation to a scheduled conference call session; generating, based on the parsing, one or more identifiers for at least some of the conference call scheduling information; and storing in the memory the one or more identifiers. A host communication device and a non-host participant communication device can also be configured for performing the method.

Abstract: A method and a communication device are provided for creating a conference call profile from a communication device, wherein the communication device includes a memory for storing an event record. The method includes: identifying from the event record one or more addresses for communicating with a conference call server; generating a conference call profile having one or more address fields and populating the address fields with the addresses; and storing the generated conference call profile in the memory. A communication device can be configured to perform the method.

Abstract: A method for join selection of a conference call from a communication device, wherein the communication device includes a memory for storing an event record. The method includes: identifying from the event record one or more addresses for contacting a conference call server for establishing a scheduled conference call session; automatically selecting, based on specified criteria, one of the addresses as a default address associated with a default join option for establishing the scheduled conference call session; generating an identifier for associating the selected default address with the default join option; and storing the identifier in the memory.
