Abstract: A method of generating a suppression signal using an adaptive filter, using an ear canal microphone signal from an earphone and an audio content signal and combining the suppression signal with others signals to generate a mixed signal that is sent to a speaker.

Abstract: Compositions that selectively bind to coronaviruses, including but not limited to SARS-COV-2 and methods of use thereof are provided. The disclosed antibodies and antigen-binding fragments were developed against SARS-CoV-2. The antibodies bind to the spike protein of coronaviruses. The disclosed antibodies are useful for diagnosing, detecting, preventing, and treating coronavirus infections.

Abstract: A system and method for the secure verification of a commercial transaction or of identity in real time and on the fly at a remote location, allowing for, among other things, verification of electronic purchases and payments, for physical entry into a venue for an event, and of the identity of person, regardless of whether or not there is a cost to the goods or services or physical entry being so verified, and without the need for hardcopy tickets or receipts or the use of barcode scanning hardware.

Abstract: The application identifies novel fragments of alpha-synuclein in patients with Lewy Body Disease (LBD) and transgenic animal models thereof. These diseases are characterized by aggregations of alpha-synuclein. The fragments have a truncated C-terminus relative to full-length alpha-synuclein. Some fragments are characterized by a molecular weight of about 12 kDa as determined by SDS gel electrophoresis in tricine buffer and a truncation of at least ten contiguous amino acids from the C-terminus of natural alpha-synuclein. The site of cleavage preferably occurs after residue 117 and before residue 126 of natural alpha-synuclein. The identification of these novel fragments of alpha-synuclein has a number of application in for example, drug discovery, diagnostics, therapeutics, and transgenic animals.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed include: a support apparatus configured to detachably receive a chip; movable pins extendible from a first position to a second position, where, in the first position, the movable pins do not contact a chip positioned on the support apparatus, and in the second position, the movable pins contact electrical terminals of a heating element within a chip positioned on the support apparatus; a radiation source configured to direct radiation to be incident on a chip positioned on the support apparatus; a detector; and an electronic processor, the electronic processor being configured to detect molecules in a sample positioned within the chip, and to determine a temperature of the chip by measuring an electrical resistance between two of the multiple pins connected to the electrical terminals.

Abstract: A bottle opener has a holding body that holds the top of the container. The holding body has a support that contacts the container and a gripping member opposite the support. The gripping member moves relative to the support between a released position, in which the gripping member permits the container to be released from the device, and an engaged position, in which the gripping member causes the container to be held between the gripping member and the support. The bottle opener also has an extracting element, such as a corkscrew, operably connected to the holding body which extracts the stopper from the container. The bottle opener has an integrated cutter positioned on at least one of the support and the gripping member, the cutter being adapted to cut the wrapper.
