Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cryptocurrency card for engaging in cryptocurrency transactions. In one example, a user has a user device and a card. The user device can generate a graphical user interface that includes transaction data associated with an account of the user with a service provider. The graphical user interface can include an option for linking one or more digital wallets to the card. In response to detecting a user selection of the option, the user device can interact with a computer system associated with the service provider to link a digital wallet to the card. Based on the link, the computer system can then use the digital wallet to execute cryptocurrency transactions initiated using the card. The computer system can also update the transaction data to describe the cryptocurrency transactions.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a graphical user interface and card system for engaging in cryptocurrency transactions. In one example, a system can provide a graphical user interface to a user. The graphical user interface can include transaction data and an option for linking a digital wallet to an account of the user. The system can detect a selection of the option and responsively link the digital wallet to the account. The system can also link a card to the digital wallet. Thereafter, the system can receive a request associated with the user using the card to engage in a cryptocurrency transaction. Based on the link between the card and the digital wallet, the system can determine that the digital wallet is to be used to execute the cryptocurrency transaction. The system can then use the digital wallet to execute the cryptocurrency transaction and update transaction data accordingly.

Abstract: Some examples described herein involve an interactive game system and virtual world for educating users about cryptocurrency. In one example, a system can generate a three-dimensional (3D) virtual world for a video game. The 3D virtual world can include game objects and a virtual avatar representing a user, where the virtual avatar is movable within the 3D virtual world to interact with the game objects. The system can detect an interaction between the virtual avatar and one of the game objects within the 3D virtual world and, in response to detecting the interaction, select a learning module. The system can select the learning module from among a group of learning modules based on the game object. The learning module can be configured to provide an educational tutorial to teach the user about cryptocurrency. The system can then execute the learning module to provide the educational tutorial to the user.

Abstract: The present invention generally provides methods and compositions for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, depression, anxiety, and memory deficits. The invention relates to recombinant microorganisms, particularly gut-colonizing probiotics, modified to produce L-DOPA as well as microcapsules and lyophilized formulations comprising the same.

Abstract: Adhesive formulations for forming a fluorinated poly(imide-phthalonitrile) thermoset polymer are provided. Such an adhesive formulation may comprise a fluorinated imide-phthalonitrile oligomer having Formula IV wherein R1 is an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group and does not comprise an ether group; R2 is an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group and does not comprise an ether group; at least one of R1 and R2 comprises a fluorine substituent; and n has a value of from 1 to 30.

Abstract: Phthalonitrile adhesive formulations are provided. Such an adhesive formulation may comprise an etherimide-phthalonitrile oligomer having formula wherein R1 is an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group or an unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl group; R2 is an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group and n has a value of from 1 to 30. Also provided are methods of making and using the adhesive formulations.

Abstract: A tubular-shaped and modular air handling unit (AHU) for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is disclosed. In some embodiments, a modular AHU is disclosed that may include a coil module, a fan module, and an electrical module; each of which may be tubular shaped for easily coupling one to another and easily coupling to tubular-shaped (or round or circular) ductwork. Further, in the tubular-shaped and modular AHU, each module may be independent and stand alone, thereby allowing for relatively easy upgrading, replacement, and/or servicing.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems directed to urine-based detection of urologic conditions. A method for identifying or monitoring a urologic condition of a subject may comprise processing a cell-free biological sample obtained or derived from the subject to generate a dataset indicative of a presence, absence, or relative assessment of the urologic condition; using a trained algorithm to process the dataset to determine a quantitative measure indicative of the presence, absence, or relative assessment of the urologic condition; based at least in part on the quantitative measure, identifying or providing an indication of the urologic condition with (i) a sensitivity of at least about 90%, (ii) a specificity of at least about 90%, (iii) a positive predictive value of at least about 90%, or (iv) a negative predictive value of at least about 90%; and electronically outputting a report that provides an indication of the urologic condition.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for treating a tissue site are described. In some embodiments, the system may include a dressing, a negative-pressure source, and a communication device. The communication device may be coupled to the negative-pressure source and configured to transmit operational data of the negative pressure source to a remote location for monitoring usage of the system.

Abstract: In one instance a support unit for supporting a portion of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is provided that includes a base rail frame that on two sides has at least a first pocket and second pocket for receiving the ends of a compressor beam. The compressor beam has angled faces on both ends that interface with angled faces in the pockets. In this way, when assembled and loaded, the compressor beam will fit in the pockets and remain in place. Others systems and methods are presented.

Abstract: A process for treating a flue gas desulfurization discharge stream containing dissolved sulfates is presented. Soluble barium compounds, such as barium chloride or barium carbonate are added to the stream in lieu of the traditional two-step lime/carbon dioxide process. The barium compounds cause the sulfate to precipitate as insoluble barium sulfate. The barium sulfate solids settle out of the discharge stream and can be filtered from the process water. The use of soluble barium compounds eliminates the need for subsequent pH adjustment, results in lowering calcium and magnesium concentrations in the discharge stream, and decreases scaling potential in downstream equipment.
