Abstract: A system for generating and synchronously executing a multiplayer scenario, in one of a virtual, mixed and augmented reality environment and having a visual programming module allowing generation and management of at least one of an asset of a scenario and a visual acyclic relation action graph defined by a plurality of nodes and a network module configured to connect a plurality of clients over a network for synchronized execution of the nodes of the acyclic relation action graph. The network module operates using a network protocol including an identity component including a unique asset identifier and an asset container for each asset of the scenario and being replicable on the plurality of clients; and a node component defining a unique node identifier and a node container for each node of the visual acyclic relation action graph and being replicable on the plurality of clients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to coupled enzyme assays. In particular, the present invention provides a coupled fluorescent assay for detection of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltransferase activity and S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase enzyme activity.

Abstract: The method and apparatus are for making a knot with first and second rope-shaped end portions of flexible material wrapped around an article. The method comprises steps of (a) guiding the end portions along a predetermined path; (b) (i) nipping the first end portion at a first point of the predetermined path, (ii) nipping the second end portion at a second point of the predetermined path, and (iii) nipping the second end portion at a third point of the predetermined path; (c) cutting the second end portion between the second and third points to obtain a free end thereof; (d) moving the end portions to obtain a loop; (e) releasing the first end portion from the guiding of step (a) to obtain a free end thereof; and (f) inserting the free ends into the loop to form and tighten the knot.
