Abstract: Affinity constructs and affinity molecules to direct insecticidal toxins to insect specific structures of target insects are presented herein. The affinity constructs comprise of at least one affinity molecule that is capable of recognizing, or capable of binding to, or binding to, or being directed to, or being designed to bind to an insect-specific structure in and/or on a target insect, and at least one other affinity molecule capable of binding to, or binding to, or being directed to, or being designed to bind to an insecticidal protein (toxin) wherein the at least two affinity molecules are operably coupled. Presented herein are also methods of making and using these affinity constructs and affinity molecules.

Abstract: A polymer coating including therapeutic agent particles for use with an extended wear infusion catheter is disclosed. Such a coating mitigates inflammation at the catheter site and provides introduction of the therapeutic agent at the infusion site for an extended time of at least 7-10 days to provide for continuous insertion of the catheter into a patient.

Abstract: Some embodiments product identifying systems comprising: a scanner control circuit; an imaging system; a display; and a memory storing a product identifier module executed by the control circuit to: detect, through a series of images, a machine-readable identifier pattern; control the display to render the series of images on the display; activate a scan timer having a scan duration; render, on the display, a scan timer graphic overlaid on a subset of the series of images and corresponding to a changing remaining time of the scan duration as the remaining time expires; confirm that the identifier pattern was maintained within a threshold distance of the center of the field of view over at least a threshold read duration of the scan duration; extract identifying information; and obtain a product identifier corresponding to the identifying information and add the product identifier to a virtual shopping cart.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for holding an electronic apparatus comprises a body and a mounting means, the said body comprises a supporting structure adapted for receiving the electronic apparatus, the said mounting means adapted for being moved between a first and second positions of the said body is mounted to the said body, a first face of the said mounting means is protruded from a face of the said supporting structure when the said mounting means is at the first position of the body, the said mounting means is adapted to be received inside the said body when the said mounting means is at the second position of the said body, the said supporting structure comprises a supporting face mounting to a lower face of the said supporting structure, the said supporting face is adapted for supporting the electronic apparatus.

Abstract: A system and method for providing healthcare claims assistance whereby a given healthcare service consumer's healthcare services data relating to a given healthcare service item is obtained and is translated into a description of the services in language, and/or a format, that a typical healthcare service consumer can understand. The healthcare service consumer's healthcare services data is also used to present the healthcare service consumer with a payment calculation display and an explanation of how the healthcare service consumer's portion of the claim amount was calculated. The healthcare services consumer is then provided advice on who to contact and/or how to proceed to resolve any perceived errors and/or obtain more detailed information.
