Abstract: This invention describes a functional change in shoe vamp design and use from a traditional lace, tongue vamp to a conjoined two-piece lateral and medial vamp and is comprised of a sole, upper textile materials fitted around the entire length, width of the; an expanded ankle collar, a vamp medial piece and vamp lateral piece wherein the vamp medial piece is opened and overlaps the vamp lateral pierce to rearwardly close the shoe. The separate lateral and medial vamp pieces are fitted and stitched together around the sole first at the sole rear and then intersecting at a pivoting stitch point on the front of the vamp.

Abstract: Disclosed are purified proteins, cell lysates, cell-free extracts, and protein extracts comprising 1-hexene monooxygenase (1-HMO) and methods of their use for delaying plant development.

Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to detect and map electromagnetic transmission and reception patterns for transmitting facilities such as cell towers and receiving facilities such as large buildings in urban areas. A variable elevation signal acquisition and data collection (VESAD) system is provided that includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a guidance subsystem, a data storage device, a global positioning system (GPS), an electromagnetic signal detector, a radio frequency receiver, at least one antenna and a signal processing subsystem are in operable communication. A ground control station is also included that is configured to exercise positive wireless control over the UAV via the at least one antenna and guidance subsystem. A communications link between the UAV and the remote control system configured to communicate data received from one of the signal processing subsystem in real time and the data storage device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the distribution of electronic media content for distribution to employees of a subscriber. The system includes an electronic display for displaying selected electronic media content that may be selected, modified and/or generated by the subscriber. The system allows for dramatically increased subscriber control of the media content presented as well as for increased security for any confidential media content to be presented on the customer display. The system further provides for individual control of multiple displays that may be located in differing geographic locations while at the same time providing for ease of information management.

Abstract: A root ball including soil disposed in and around root system and a layer of agricultural polymer around the soil and root system. The agricultural polymer creates a root ball having a semi-permeable, solid outer layer, which provides protection for the root system and eliminates the need for a container.
