Abstract: The invention is directed to a seed coating composition comprising one or more active ingredients, to a method and use for improving the bio-efficacy of an active ingredient in a seed coating, and to a coated seed. The seed coating composition of the invention further comprises a wax and/or polymeric carbohydrate and wherein said seed coating composition has an amount of polymeric binder excluding wax and polymeric carbohydrate of 10% or less by total weight of the wax and polymeric carbohydrate together.

Abstract: A magnetic lock system for an enclosure includes a receiver disposed within the enclosure and a locking mechanism coupled to an interior surface of the enclosure. The locking mechanism includes a mounting plate coupled to the interior surface of the enclosure, a latch rotatable around a pivot axis and configured to engage the receiver in a locked orientation, a tension device coupled to the latch and configured to exert a force on the latch to maintain it in the locked orientation. and a magnet coupled to the latch. The magnet is configured to interact with a magnetic key to overcome the force of the tension device and transition the latch to an unlocked position. The mounting plate and the latch are pivotably connected to each other via a pin associated with the pivot axis.

Abstract: An NFT game platform operates by: generating display data associated with a customized collection display that contains the plurality of game NFT; sending the display data associated with a customized collection display to the client device for display via a graphical user interface associated with the client device; receiving a selection of one the plurality of game NFTs for play of the associated game, wherein the one of the plurality of game NFTs includes a playable instance of the associated game; facilitating play of the associated game via the client device when ownership of the game NFT is authenticated; and updating the game NET associated with the associated game based on the play of the associated game by the user.

Abstract: A medical tracking system includes a percutaneous needle, a localization element and a navigation system is disclosed. The percutaneous needle has an elongate shaft extending between a proximal end portion, which is attached to a handle, and distal end portion that terminates at a distal tip. An inner surface of the elongate shaft defines a working channel that extends from a port at the proximal end portion to the distal tip. The localization element is incorporated into the elongate shaft distal from the handle and proximate the distal end portion. The navigation system is configured for tracking the localization element and to provide a real-time display of a position and orientation of the distal tip relative to an anatomy of a patient.
