Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for inactivating one or more enzymes in a biological sample.

Abstract: Provided is a food composition which include a myceliated high-protein food product and methods to make such compositions, which are mixtures of myceliated high-protein food products and other edible materials. A food composition includes dairy alternative products, ready to mix beverages and beverage bases; extruded and extruded/puffed products; sheeted baked goods; meat analogs and extenders; baked goods and baking mixes; granola; and soups/soup bases. Food compositions also include texturized plant protein which can be used for making meat-structured plant protein meat analog or meat extender products. The food compositions have reduced undesirable flavors and reduced undesirable aromas due to use of myceliated high-protein food products as compared to use of similar high-protein material that is not myceliated.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to stemmed and stemless humeral anchors, and implanting tools for use in shoulder arthroplasty procedures. For example, the humeral anchor can include a distal shaft portion, a proximal portion, and a metaphyseal portion connecting the distal shaft portion and the proximal portion. The distal shaft portion can include multiple apertures configured to receive a screw or one or more plugs. The proximal portion can include a stem face configured to be removably attached to an implanting tool or to couple to an anatomic insert or a reverse insert.

Abstract: This application relates to a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a housing including (i) a lower case, and (ii) an upper case pivotally coupled to the lower case with a hinge assembly. The housing includes a processor capable of providing instructions, an operational component in communication with the processor, where the processor is capable of executing a function, and a magnetic detection system included within the hinge assembly. The magnetic detection system includes a magnetic element capable of generating a magnetic field, and a magnetic sensor capable of determining an angle between the lower case and the upper case based on the magnetic field, where when the processor determines that the angle between the lower case and the upper case satisfies a predetermined threshold angle, the processor provides the instructions to the operational component to execute the function.

Abstract: A stemless implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a body having a proximal portion, distal portion, and an outer surface. A cylindrical extrusion is substantially perpendicular to and adjacent the proximal portion. At least a portion of the outer surface is configured to contact bone, the outer bone contacting surface comprising a concave taper. The stemless implant can be sized and shaped for insertion into a metaphysis of a humerus bone without penetrating a diaphysis of the humerus bone. The implant optionally comprises a medial fin, a lateral fin, an anterior fin, and a posterior fin. The medial fin and lateral fin may be thicker than the anterior fin. The fins may taper from the proximal portion to the distal portion.

Abstract: An implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a stem and optionally a head component or a cup component. The stem is sized and shaped to fit into an intramedullary canal of the humerus. The proximal portion of the stem has a concave taper and the distal portion of the stem has a taper. The distal taper includes an anterior-posterior taper and a medial-lateral taper. The shape of the stem loads the metaphysis of the humerus with a greater load than the load applied to the diaphysis of the humerus.

Abstract: Memory packages, memory modules, and circuit boards are described. In an embodiment, single channel memory packages are mounted on opposite sides of a circuit board designed with a first side also designed to accept dual channel memory packages. Alternatively, dual channel memory packages may be mounted on a first side of a circuit board that is also designed to accept single channel packages on opposite sides.

Abstract: TSHR agonists that are substantially desialylated are described for treating metabolic syndrome and obesity and for inducing lipolysis. The TSHR polypeptide agonists are useful for treatment of hallmarks of metabolic syndrome: obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and liver steatosis, without producing a hyperthyroid state in treated individuals.

Abstract: A soluble receptor to IL-20 having two polypeptide subunits, IL-20RA (formerly called ZcytoR7) and IL-20RB (formerly called DIRS1). The two subunits are preferably linked together. In one embodiment one subunit is fused to the constant region of the light chain of an immunoglobulin, and the other subunit is fused to the constant region of the heavy chain of the immunoglobulin. The light chain and the heavy chain are connected via a disulfide bond.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for reordering Reordering bus transactions to increase increases bus utilization in a computer system in which where a split-transaction bus is bridged to a single-envelope bus. In one embodiment, both masters and slaves are ordered, simplifying implementation. In; in another embodiment, the system is more loosely coupled with only masters being are ordered. Greater bus utilization is thereby achieved. To avoid deadlock, transactions begun on the split-transaction bus are monitored. When a combination of transactions would, result in deadlock if a predetermined further transaction were to begin, result in deadlock, this condition is detected. In the more tightly coupled system, the predetermined further transaction, if it is refused if requested, is refused, thereby avoiding deadlock. In the more loosely-coupled system, the flexibility afforded by unordered slaves is taken advantage of to, in the typical case, reorder the transactions and avoid deadlock without killing any transaction.
