Abstract: A passenger ticket, lodging, or other physical space availability may be monitored by obtaining an itinerary record or other dataset associated with a previous space allocation (a previously-booked itinerary or similar purchase, e.g.). This may include, for example, identifying a group of travel segments that corresponds to a ticket or other allocation, “fingerprinting” the allocation, and determining a schedule to periodically monitor terms associated with the allocation. During an availability-monitoring period, an up-to-date version of the itinerary record may be obtained and “fingerprinted,” for example, such fingerprints being usable to determine whether substitutions (identifying more preferable lodging or travel spaces, e.g.) have changed significantly or have already been discovered and implemented, and to take appropriate action (implementing a substitution or updating the itinerary record, e.g.) if so.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of one or more proteins (e.g., globular proteins) having a low isoelectric point and/or a limited number (e.g., zero) of modifying groups in nucleic acid polymerization and/or amplification reactions such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to novel detergents for use in various procedures including, for example, nucleic acid amplification reactions such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods for preparing the modified detergents are also described.

Abstract: A medicine box including a casing with a mouth, and a box cover. One or more sides of the mouth are set with resilient snaps and one or more sides of the box cover have conjunction holes. One side of the box cover has a medicine hole, the medicine hole is blocked by the cover when in a sealed position. To remove medicine from the casing, the resilient snap is pressed to separate from the conjunction hole. The box cover can then freely slide up and down the mouth to expose the medicine hole and remove medicine from the medicine box. After taking out the medicine, the box cover may slide downward to buckle the resilient snap into the conjunction hole, firmly fixing the box cover on the mouth.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of culturing a mammalian cell in a liquid medium including poloxamer-188 at a concentration of 1.8 g/L or at a greater concentration than 1.8 g/L more or a liquid medium that includes a poloxamer-188 concentration that is selected based on one or more factors selected from the group of: pore size, pore type, gas flow rate, viable cell density in the medium, and markers related to cell stress.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media embodiments for reducing or eliminating display artifacts caused by on-the-fly changing of the display clock are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method includes, changing a rate of a display clock, and adapting a display data processing pipeline clocked by the display clock to prevent a substantial change in a pixel output rate from the display data processing pipeline based upon the changing.

Abstract: A folding golf cart, including a bottom frame, the pillar, the handle, the front wheel and the rear wheel, the rear-wheel carrier, the folding connecting rod, the support rod, the connecting rod and the sliding seat. The bottom end of the pillar is connected to the back-end part of the bottom frame. The bottom of the handle is designed with a connector whose one end is connected to the near-top part of the pillar and the other to one end of the folding connecting rod. The other end of the folding connecting rod is hinged to the back end of the bottom frame, the front ends of both the rear-wheel carriers are connected on both sides of the sliding seat and the two sides of the support rod are hinged to the pillar and the rear-wheel carrier.

Abstract: A crawling insect abatement matrix, system and method includes a cellular, nonwoven, wet laid or fibrous substrate with a shaped surface to which diatomaceous earth (diatomite, kieselgur, amorphous silica) particles are bound, either in situ or with a binder/coating applied to the substrate. A representative cellular substrate is polyurethane foam with a convoluted or otherwise shaped surface to which a coating that includes diatomaceous earth particles has been applied. The substrate is formed as a sheet, mat or pad that may be installed between a mattress and bedding structure or bedding textiles or below furniture articles, or in clothing compartments, or formed as a tape that may be applied to a surface of a mattress, a bedding structure, a headboard, bedding textiles, or to a clothing compartment.

Abstract: A dispensing device, having a hollow nipple-shaped stopper configured to act as a one-way valve, for use as a hair dyeing comb is provided. The nipple-shaped stopper has an aperture at its tip end. The aperture opens toward outside when the operator compresses the plastic bottle and closes when the operator releases the plastic bottle. When the aperture is in its closed position, the stopper prevents the liquid hair dye already in the conduit from flowing back to the plastic bag inside the bottle. The purpose of using the stopper here is to keep the air out of the dispensing system in order for the operator to pump the liquid dye efficiently. The stopper and a small aperture at the bottom of the plastic bottle are replacing the one-way valve currently used in many hair dye-dispensing devices. With interchangeable comb heads, the operator can choose the proper comb head for his hair type and different application purpose.

Abstract: A process is provided of delivering at least one active agent cargo molecule into an neuronal cell whereby a cargo molecule is placed within a synthetic vesicle such as a liposome and a biotinylated protein such as an antibody is bound to the synthetic vesicle to form a protein bound synthetic vesicle whereby the protein recognizes a receptor expressed on the surface of a neuronal cell, and exposing the protein bound synthetic vesicle to the cell until the cargo molecule is delivered into the neuronal cell. Numerous cargo molecules are delivered by the inventive synthetic vesicle including a calpain inhibitor and a caspase inhibitor. The protein illustratively targets a cellular receptor for a ligand such as glutamate, glycine, dopamine, nicotine, muscarine, acetylcholine, or serotonin, and the like.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a clock circuit and a virtual pixel clock circuit. The clock circuit provides a common clock signal. The virtual pixel clock circuit provides a plurality of pixel clock signals in response to the common clock signal. One of the virtual pixel clock signals is at a different clock speed than another of the plurality of virtual pixel clock signals.
