Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition that involves a nanopore disposed in a membrane preparation, wherein the nanopore has an outer membrane protein G (OmpG) having 8 to 22 ?-strands connected by a plurality of flexible loops on a first side of the membrane preparation and a plurality short turns on a second side of the membrane preparation, wherein a heterologous peptide is inserted within one or more of the flexible loops. Also disclosed herein is a method of detecting binding of a ligand to a target, the method involving: exposing a nanopore composition disclosed herein to a target; assessing a gating pattern of the nanopore; and detecting binding of the target to the heterologous peptide based on the gating pattern.

Abstract: A method for determining synthetic speech includes receiving audio data characterizing speech in audio data obtained by a user device. The method also includes generating, using a trained self-supervised model, a plurality of audio features vectors each representative of audio features of a portion of the audio data. The method also includes generating, using a shallow discriminator model, a score indicating a presence of synthetic speech in the audio data based on the corresponding audio features of each audio feature vector of the plurality of audio feature vectors. The method also includes determining whether the score satisfies a synthetic speech detection threshold. When the score satisfies the synthetic speech detection threshold, the method includes determining that the speech in the audio data obtained by the user device comprises synthetic speech.

Abstract: A protective sheath for a bronchoscope is provided, comprising a flexible and collapsible sleeve having a first open end and a second open end; wherein the first open end includes a first resilient member adapted to sealably connect to a bronchoscope control unit; and wherein the second open end includes a second resilient member adapted to sealably connect to an adapter device for receiving the bronchoscope. The sleeve is constructed from a nonpermeable, collapsible, and food grade plastic. A suction port is preferably attached to the sleeve adapted to fluidically remove air and fluids from the sleeve during the bronchoscopy procedure.

Abstract: A modular game dart comprised of a plurality of metal modules that mate together using male and female threads incorporated in the modules. The modules comprise one tip mounting section module, one shaft mounting section module, and a plurality of barrel modules, with the modules mating together end-to-end using corresponding internal and external male and female threads to form a dart.

Abstract: A decorative cover for a vehicle trim component includes a resilient skin including an edge for insertion into a groove of the vehicle trim component. At least one tab extends from the skin edge. At least one line of stitching is located on the resilient skin. The at least one line of stitching has at least one stitching end section extending beyond the skin edge and onto the at least one tab.
