Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for contingency vehicular signaling. A first DC power source may be connected with one or more indicators. The first DC power source may be connected with a second DC power source, and/or a third DC power source, via a semiconductor. The first DC power source may be configured to receive a second DC current flow from the second DC power source, and/or a third DC current flow from the third DC power source. The semiconductor may be configured to block a first DC current flow from the first DC power source to the second DC power source, and/or the third DC power source. The first DC power source may be configured to provide the one or more indicators with the first DC current flow via the at least one electrical switch regardless of a magnitude of the second DC current flow, and/or the third DC current flow.

Abstract: A milk frother comprises a housing, a motor, a power supply, two rods, and two aerating members. The motor is located within the housing, with the motor comprising a rotatable shaft. The power supply is located within the housing, with the power supply configured to supply electrical power to the motor to effect rotation of the shaft. The two rods extend through the housing, with each of the rods comprising first and second ends. Each of the rods are operably coupled to the shaft proximate to the first ends, and rotation of the shaft effects rotation of the rods. Each of the aerating members is connected to one of the two rods proximate to the second ends. Rotation of the rods effects rotation of the aerating members to produce froth when the aerating members are placed within the milk.

Abstract: Provided herein are novel thermostable phycobiliproteins. These proteins may be stabilized by the introduction of disulfide bonds which stabilize the protein. Modified cells expressing these thermostable phycobiliproteins and methods of making them are also provided.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for creating stable, targeted mutations in Spirulina (Athrospiria) and Spirulina having stable, targeted mutations.

Abstract: A cleaning implement includes an implement body that receives a bar of solid hygiene product in a cavity extending through the implement body. The hygiene product is selectively movable downward to protrude through an opening among bristles or in a sponge. The implement allows for replacement of the solid hygiene product within the implement. The product may be advanced within the implement by means of a threaded rod or a helical cylinder and an abutment member. A resilient sleeve seals against water ingress while also retaining the product as it is consumed or dissolves.

Abstract: The present invention recognizes that there exists a long felt and unfulfilled need for a photobioreactor for treatment of wastewater (Passive Aerobic Treatment Unit (PATU). As a non-limiting introduction to the breadth of the present invention, the present invention includes several general and useful aspects, including but not limited to: a) a device or system for the passive treatment of a preferably liquid wastewater stream using autotrophic, phototrophic, and heterotrophic microorganisms growing in a photobioreactor; and b) a method of treating wastewater using the devices of the present invention.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for creating stable, targeted mutations in Spirulina (Arthrospira) and Spirulina having stable, targeted mutations.

Abstract: A drone disabling device includes a plurality of streamer launch tubes having at least one streamer device positioned therein. A barrel housing is configured to hold the plurality of launch tubes within streamer launch barrels. An ignition system is configured to ignite propellant within the launch tubes and launch the streamer devices from the barrel housing such that one or more propellers of a hostile drone will become entangled and disabled. A parachute connected to the streamer device is deployed as the drone descends to protect people and property on the ground and to preserve the drone for intelligence gathering after landing.

Abstract: Exemplary implementations may: receive, by a sales support microservice in communication with a trained model running on a server, a plurality of attributes; and feed the plurality of attributes to the trained model.

Abstract: An absorbent pad for attachment to a handle assembly of a floor brush, broom or mop comprises a floor-engaging surface of an absorbent material, there being provided channels extending from the leading edge of the pad toward the rear edge but terminating in the bulk of the absorbent pad. The implement is useful for collecting liquid spills while avoiding a snowplow effect on the liquid.

Abstract: Directed to methods and systems for automated fee generation through the use of machine learning for telecommunications projects. Exemplary implementations may: receive, by a sales support microservice in communication with a trained model running on a server, a plurality of attributes; and feed the plurality of attributes to the trained model. The trained model can retrieve historical data regarding fee prices, identify similar historical projects based on final fee prices and historical attributes of the respective projects, and refine a correlation between historical attributes and fee prices, which can be used in the generation of a fee price to provision a telecommunications project as a result of those attributes.
