Abstract: An intake management system provides a number of tools and features to memorial event providers. The intake system is configured to provide appropriate and necessary intake forms to an event planner via configured devices, and may also pre-populate fields of the forms based upon information from an automatically generated intake dossier, from friends and family of the memorialized person, and from custom configured rules. During an event planning interview, the system provides tools and features that provide flexibility to planners in order to increase the accuracy of event details and improve customer experience. This system may be combined with custody tracking of remains during event preparation, which may be implemented within a custody tracked environment in order to track remains, reduce mistakes, and drive event management based upon transit between areas of the tracked environment.

Abstract: Kinematic mounts disclosed in this application are made from three main components: a housing, a footing, and a tightening mechanism. The tightening mechanism includes three parts: a top portion, a bottom portion, and a locking interface mechanism. When the top portion, which includes a hollow tip with interior threading, is screwed down onto the bottom portion, which includes a threaded tip, the locking interface component is pressed against at least one interior surface of the housing that causes the housing to be pressed against the footing. This action holds the housing in place relative to the footing while simultaneously preventing unwanted movement of the housing during tightening.

Abstract: A method and cell line for producing phytocannabinoids and phytocannabinoid analogues in yeast. The method applies, and the cell line includes, a yeast cell transformed with a polyketide synthase CDS and a cytosolic prenyltransferase CDS.

Abstract: Kinematic mounts are used frequently to hold objects such as mirrors, lenses, and other optical equipment. To adjust kinematic mounts, adjustment mechanisms are often required. Adjustment mechanisms can be used to make fine adjustments in applications where precision is required (e.g., laser system prototyping). Kinematic mounts that include never-before implemented form factors and structural elements require new adjustment solutions. This application describes systems that include both novel kinematic mounts as well as new adjustment mechanisms developed to reorient the new kinematic mounts. Adjustment mechanisms described in this application include a main body, a control frame, and control screws to adjust the orientation of the control frame. The control frame is coupled with a kinematic mount's housing, which rotates about a center of curvature of a bottom surface of the housing.

The second type of analysis object may include a JSON representation of a set of operations that are applied during analysis such as a set of programming instructions. The visualization system may traverse and analyze the JSON representation to determine, for a given analysis object, one or more parent dependencies. The visualization system can then generate a graph of the datasets and analysis objects.
