Abstract: Provided herein is a stimulation and measurement device. The stimulation and measurement device includes a microwell plate having a top side, a bottom side, and at least one well extending from the top side towards the bottom side; a first assembly removably positioned on the top side of the microwell plate; a second assembly removably positioned on the bottom side of the microwell plate; and a microcontroller. The first assembly includes a first printed circuit board having at least one pair of stimulating light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned thereon to align with one of the wells. The second assembly includes a second printed circuit board having at least one photodiode positioned thereon to align with one of the pairs of stimulating LEDs, and at least one excitation LED paired with each of the photodiodes. The microcontroller is configured to control the stimulating LED(s), the photodiode(s), and the excitation LED(s).

Abstract: Provided herein is an isolated fusion protein comprising a light-responsive domain and a heterologous peptide component. Exposure of the fusion protein to light induces a conformational change in the fusion protein that alters an activity of the fusion protein and the activity is a binding activity selected from an in vitro binding activity, an in vivo extracellular binding activity and an in vivo intracellular binding activity. Also provided are methods of using and identifying the fusion proteins.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a composite shell, a carbon fiber is infused with a resin using a first mold to create a carbon fiber shell. A molding material is then injection molded onto the carbon fiber shell using a second mold to generate a molded shell. The molded shell is then trimmed to create a trimmed shell. A clear coating can then be applied to the trimmed shell to create the composite shell.

Abstract: System and techniques for gateway assisted diagnostics and repair are described herein. A request for assistance may be received from a client device at a gateway device attached to a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN). The request for assistance may include an indication of an event experienced by the client device. The request for assistance may be forwarded to a management controller of the gateway device. Instructions may be transmitted to the client device via the LAN for resolving the event experienced by the client device.

Abstract: An embodiment of a semiconductor package apparatus may include technology to associate an asset to a fixture with a device positioned proximate to the fixture, and determine a location of the fixture based on a location of the device. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed. Non-limiting example applications may include shipping, logistics, warehouse asset tracking, retail, etc.

Abstract: Systems and methods for targeted electronic messaging within a brick and mortar store are disclosed. A shopper tracking system tracks the physical location and collects shopping behavior data of a shopper located within a brick and mortar store. The shopping behavior data is supplied to a real time bidding system. When a shopper moves within a predetermined distance from an electronic sign, the shopper tracking system signals the real time bidding system to conduct a contemporaneous auction and supply a message provided by a winning bidder, which is displayed on the electronic sign.

Abstract: An embodiment of a semiconductor package apparatus may include technology to determine if a user is proximate to a display, determine a characteristic of the user, display a message on the display based on the characteristic of the user, and complete a transaction with the user proximate to the display. Non-limiting examples of environments for some embodiments may include any place where informational messaging is directed at people and where it may be beneficial to adjust such messaging to complete a transaction with the user. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
