  • Publication number: 20240117388
    Abstract: Enzymes and recombinant host cells for the biosynthesis of clinically important prenylated polyketides of the cannabinoid family are provided. Using readily available starting materials, heterologous enzymes (e.g., bacterial CoA-transferases and CoA-ligases) are used to direct cannabinoid biosynthesis in host cells such as recombinant yeast cells.

  • Publication number: 20240103714
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays, on the display, a first visual indicator that corresponds to a virtual touch. The device receives a first input from an adaptive input device. In response to receiving the first input from the adaptive input device, the device displays a first menu on the display. The first menu includes a virtual touches selection icon. In response to detecting selection of the virtual touches selection icon, a menu of virtual multitouch contacts is displayed.

  • Patent number: 11237709
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods that enable low-vision users to interact with touch-sensitive secondary displays. An example method includes, while operating a touch-sensitive secondary display in an accessibility mode: displaying, on the primary display, a first user interface for an application, and displaying, on the touch-sensitive secondary display, a second user interface that includes: (i) application-specific affordances, and (ii) a system-level affordance, where each application-specific affordance and the system-level affordance are displayed with a first display size. The method includes detecting an input at the application-specific affordance.

  • Patent number: 10649636
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods that enable low-vision users to interact with touch-sensitive secondary displays. An example method includes: displaying, on a primary display, a first user interface for an application and displaying, on a touch-sensitive secondary display, a second user interface that includes a plurality of application-specific affordances that control functions of the application. Each respective affordance is displayed with a first display size. The method also includes: detecting, via the secondary display, an input that contacts at least one application-specific affordance. In response to detecting the input and while it remains in contact with the secondary display, the method includes: (i) continuing to display the first user interface on the primary display and (ii) displaying, on the primary display, a zoomed-in representation of the at least one application-specific affordance.

  • Publication number: 20150144644
    Abstract: Various methods are described for manufacturing a plastic drum that includes injection-molding upper and lower drum body portions having sidewalls that terminate at an open end. The open end of each drum body portion includes a drum body welding platform. The platform is characterized by a thickening of the drum body portion sidewall. The methods also include aligning the upper drum body portion with respect to the lower drum body portion such that the upper drum body welding platform is aligned with the lower drum body welding platform at an interface, and joining the upper drum body portion to the lower drum body portion at the interface to form the plastic drum. Also described are plastic drums made by the noted methods.

  • Patent number: 8352873
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a method includes receiving a request to initiate recording of media content of an event. The method also includes controlling capturing of the media content by a capture machine in response to the received request. The method includes opening a chat session among one or more persons that are listeners or viewers of the event being captured, wherein the opening is in response to the request to initiate recording of the media content. The chat session comprises one or more entries that include a chat input from the one or more persons and a timecode of the chat input. The method includes receiving a request to stop recording of the media content of the event. The method also includes combining at least a subset of the one or more entries of the chat session with the media content using the time code of the one or more entries.
