Abstract: A method of generating labeled training images for a machine learning system includes providing a set of labeled images, each of the labeled images in the set of labeled images depicting an instance of a type of object and comprising a label identifying the type of object, providing an unlabeled image including an instance of the object, generating bounding box coordinates for one or more bounding boxes around the instance of the object in the unlabeled image using the labeled images in the set of labeled images as templates, consolidating the one or more bounding boxes into a consolidated bounding box around the instance of the object in the unlabeled image, and labeling the consolidated bounding box according to the type of object to generate a labeled output image including bounding box coordinates of the consolidated bounding box.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods and routes of administration of specific bacterial extracts obtainable by alkaline lysis of Gram positive or Gram negative bacterial species and delivery devices for treating and/or preventing asthma, asthma exacerbation, allergic asthma conditions and/or wheezing associated symptoms and/or associated with microbiota related to respiratory disorders in a subject in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of bacterial extract obtainable from Gram positive or Gram negative bacterial species wherein said bacterial extract is obtainable by alkaline lysis.

Abstract: An axle assembly having a differential assembly that may include a gear reduction unit, a differential nest, and a coupling. The differential nest may be at least partially received in an inner housing. The inner housing may be rotatable about an axis with respect to an outer housing when the coupling is in a first position. The inner housing may be rotatable about the axis with the outer housing when the coupling is in a second position.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in a patient with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) comprising administering NAC to a patient after a sample from the patient has been genotyped and determined to be any one of: a) homozygous or heterozygous for a thymine at the single nucleotide polymorphism rs3750920; b) homozygous or heterozygous for guanine at the single nucleotide polymorphism rs5743894; or c) homozygous or heterozygous for thymine at the single nucleotide polymorphism rs35705950.

Abstract: Deionisation and clarification process of the aqueous medium used in an electroerosion machine and product for this process, where the electroerosion machines are comprised of a purification circuit for this aqueous medium, which includes an ion exchange phase between some cationic and anionic resins with the aqueous dielectric medium, which has a conductivity of less than 40 ?S/cm, and to which a solution of oxalic acid and phosphoric acid in distilled/deionised water is added in the approximate proportion of oxalic acid between 0.18 and 0.035 moles and phosphoric acid between 1.28 and 2.5 moles per liter of solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for determining and predicting the efficacy of therapeutics for the treatment of an individual with asthma based on that individual's ?2-adrenergic receptor. The invention finds particular applicability to the treatment of an individual with asthma with an inhaled corticosteroid or a leukotriene receptor antagonist who is homozygous for arginine at position 16 of the ?2-adrenergic receptor.

Abstract: A board game including a playing board, with an outer perimeter track defined by a series of spaces coextensive with the outer perimeter of the game board. A central portion of the game board includes a series of contiguous spaces defining a pyramid configuration, with the uppermost part of the pyramid configuration defined as a goal space, with a gateway space within the perimeter spaces permitting entrance into the pyramid configuration of spaces. Players sequentially utilizing dice members are directed about the perimeter spaces to receive and use playing cards from a deck mounted within the central portion of the playing board. A player being first to deposit an appropriately designated playing card on the goal space is declared a winner or alternatively, depletion of the cards from the deck of cards designates a winner having a greatest number of a designated category of the cards of the deck of playing cards.

Abstract: Flexible joint with two sealing lines having curvilinear portions, wherein it comprises two closed elementary joints of different length, whose axes are arranged in the same plane, joined together by a shaping template which cooperates at least with the outer joint by excrescences arranged on the outer periphery of the template and defining between them recesses at least level with the curvilinear portions of the joint, each excrescence having a groove in which is received the outer joint, each of the joints having an inner spring with contiguous turns closed on itself and at least one metal casing in which is fitted the spring.The invention more particularly relates to the construction of non-circular joints.
