Abstract: Described are systems and methods for providing a publisher-subscriber architecture for audio and/or video conferencing. Embodiments of the present disclosure can utilize one edge computing resources associated with each client device participating in the audio and/or video conference. One or more client devices can publish streams to the associated edge computing resources. The streams can then be pushed via a data network to the edge computing resources associated with the subscribing client devices. The subscribing client devices can access and fetch the streams from the edge computing resources, which can be presented on the client devices as part of a conferencing session experience.

Abstract: A two-part flame-retardant, a flame-retardant oriented strand (OSB) and method for forming a flame-retardant OSB is provided. The two-part flame-retardant composition includes an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble flame-retardant and a flame-retardant powder that is incorporated into an oriented strand board without substantially affecting the mechanical properties of the oriented strand board. The method includes applying the aqueous solution containing a water-soluble flame-retardant to an oriented strand board furnish and applying a flame-retardant powder to the wetted furnish, without requiring an additional drying step.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to the use of microvesicle biomarkers such as nucleic acids, including nucleic acid signatures, and/or proteins for assessing a kidney transplant rejection in a patient. The invention further relates to assessing, and/or to monitoring kidney transplant rejection in patients who have received a renal transplant.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for treating glioblastoma in a subject in need thereof using gene signatures in exosomal RNA derived from the subject. The gene signatures comprise: at least one of FAM229B, ZNF35, CTD-2647L4.4, CABP5, CYP20A1, CEP126, DTX2P1-UPK3BP1-PMS2P11, RP11-507K12.1, KRBA2, CALD1, LRFN1, RP2, SLC2A13, CDKL3, SLC8A3, ANTXR2, TIGD5, AC074289.1 RP11-932O9.7; at least one of tRNA-Lys-CTT-2-2, tRNA-Pro-AGG-2-7, LAMTOR2, RAD51AP1, DENND2A, A1BG, THSD1, CSF1, RP11-332M2.1, ZNF717, ZNF860, ORC6, Clorf50, PSPH, HIST1H4C, CYP2U1, THAP8, TMEM192, NAA20; or at least one of CREBBP, CXCR2 and S100A9. The treatment methods comprise measuring the expression level of at least one of the aforementioned genes in exosomal RNA from a subject and administering to the subject a glioblastoma treatment based on the expression level(s).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for detecting and treating bladder cancer in a subject using the gene expression level measurements from exosomes derived from the subject.

Abstract: A golf club that is used to practice a golf swing. Specifically, the golf club includes a handle and a head coupled to the handle. The head is formed from a first portion and a second portion that are coupled together. The first portion may be formed of a rigid material and the second portion may be formed of a resilient material. The second portion may comprise bristles or some other soft, pliable, compressible material that will not damage a surface upon contact during swinging the golf club. The golf club head preferably has the same shape as a traditional golf club head of the same type. However, the second portion forms the sole of the head, thereby eliminating the potential for damage to a floor surface during swinging of the golf club.

Abstract: A method and system for sharing a user interface of a first device with a second device and enabling a user of the second device to interact with the user interface via gestures received by the second device. The first device (e.g., a smartphone) can host an application and generate a graphical user interface, which it transmits to the second device (e.g., a tablet computer) for display by the second device. The second device can receive input from a user, such as a touch input via a touchscreen of the second device, and transmit a representation of the input to the first device for providing input to the application hosted by the first device.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of biomarker analysis, particularly determining gene expression signatures from biological samples, including plasma samples.
