Abstract: An integrated circuit package may be fabricated by disposing an underfill material between an electronic substrate and an integrated circuit device through an opening in the electronic substrate. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit assembly may include an electronic substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the electronic substrate includes at least one opening extending from the first surface to the second surface. The integrated circuit assembly may further include an integrated circuit device, wherein the integrated circuit device is electrically attached to the electronic substrate with at least one interconnect, and an underfill material may be disposed between the first surface of the electronic substrate and the integrated circuit device, wherein a portion of the underfill material extends into the opening in the electronic substrate.

Abstract: Provided are non-naturally occurring nucleic acids comprising a sequence encoding an enzyme, regulatory protein, or other functional protein that provides for biosynthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids (e.g., mitragynine), as well as modified enzyme and protein sequences encoded by the nucleic acid sequences. Also provided are recombinant microorganisms, including novel strains, that comprise the nucleic acid sequences and/or express the enzyme or regulatory protein that provides for the biosynthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids (e.g., mitragynine). Methods of expressing the enzyme or regulatory protein are provided, as are methods of generating monoterpene indole alkaloid mitragynine-type compounds, as well as precursors, intermediates, and analogs thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to the therapeutic inhibition of LPA gene expression, and in particular to effective doses and dosage regimes for the therapeutic use of the SLN360 molecule, in the prophylaxis or treatment of conditions associated with elevated levels of Lp(a). Such conditions include stroke, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and aortic stenosis.

Abstract: Provided are non-naturally occurring polynucleotide sequences that encode for polypeptides useful in ergoline biosynthesis, as well as the non-naturally occurring polypeptide sequences. Also provided are recombinant host cell and methods for microbial biosynthesis of an ergoline, or a precursor or metabolite thereof, using the recombinant host cell.

Abstract: An improved trailer hitch is presented. The tractor trailer has a main trailer frame, the main trailer for hauling cargo. To help couple a trailer cab to the trailer frame a swivel box having a spring-loaded locking pin and a permanent hinge pin is coupled to a tongue that is used to couple the trailer cab and the trailer frame. The swivel box swivels or swings the tongue to a position to accommodate a misaligned trailer cab easing the coupling process.

Abstract: Machine vision technology can be used to predict a property of a product generated by a chemical process. The prediction can be based on an analytical characterization of the chemical process or the product generated by the chemical process with a detector that generates series data. The series data can be converted to an image and input to an artificial neural network (ANN) trained to predict the property of the product based on the image. A prediction of a property of the product can be received from the ANN and used to adjust the chemical process or to determine whether to reject the product.

Abstract: An insensitive munition initiation canister includes a first cylindrical body having an external surface, which includes a first set of threads arranged circumferentially around the first cylindrical body, and a second cylindrical body connected to the first cylindrical body including an external surface having a second set of threads arranged circumferentially around the second cylindrical body. The first cylindrical body includes a first internal region set to retain an explosive charge having a detonation capability sufficient to detonate an insensitive munition. The first cylindrical body is set to sit inside a munition fuze well. The threads of the first cylindrical body are set to engage the munition fuze well.

Abstract: Dandelion processes, compositions and products are provided. One process is a method of preparing dandelion that utilizes a species of a Taraxacum genus, the process including the steps of extracting and recovering a rubber and a carbohydrate from a dandelion root substantially simultaneously. The process employs a dandelion species that is selected from the group consisting of: Taraxacum officianale, Taraxacum kok-saghyz, a rubber-bearing species of the genus Taraxacum, and a combination of two or more thereof. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

Abstract: An apparatus for lifting a buried explosive device includes a T-shaped base including a flange member and a web member. The web member has one end fixed at a right angle to the midpoint of the flange member. A vertical upright member is fixed at one end to the midpoint of the flange member. A diagonal member is fixed at one end to the other end of the vertical upright member and fixed at another end to a second end of the web member that is distal the flange member. The vertical upright member is at least twice a length of the web member. The flange member, the web member, the vertical upright member and the diagonal member are L-channel members made of carbon fiber.
