The housing has a plurality of plug orientations each visually and haptically denoted by a marking in a grip region of the housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns hyperthermic devices for treating vascular involvements related to cancer therapies, such as surgery. In specific embodiments, the device is configured to provide therapeutic heating to destroy vessel-encasing tumors while still protecting the vessel itself. In particular embodiments, the devices utilize two opposing semi-cylindrical shells that encase the vessel in need of treatment of a tumor thereon. In other devices, a flexible substrate is guided under and around the vessel and tumor thereon.

Abstract: Provided are various embodiments relating to anti-IL31 antibodies binding to canine IL31. Such antibodies can be used in methods to treat IL31-induced conditions in companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a scheduling apparatus and method. The scheduling apparatus includes a network topology configuration unit and a scheduling unit. The network topology configuration unit configures a network topology that connects nodes to which rank values have been allocated based on a sink node. The scheduling unit schedules data transmission over an uplink and a downlink in a first region and a second region defined in each slot frame based on the rank values obtained based on the sink node. The first region and the second region have different time offsets within the slot frame.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for using a split screen mode. The method includes composing a plurality of surfaces into a final surface to display in a display unit of a user equipment. The display unit is operable to display a single screen mode and a split screen mode. The method also includes, responsive to identifying the split screen mode, splitting the display unit into a first screen and a second screen. The method also includes retrieving a set of parameters associated with the split screen mode. The method also includes displaying the final surface in both the first screen and the second screen according to the set of parameters.

Abstract: A housing assembly for a waterproof connector includes a housing, a sealing device, and a protective cover. The housing has a sealing chamber receiving a seal. The sealing device is movable to cover the seal in the sealing chamber. The protective cover covers the seal and the sealing device.

Abstract: In a first aspect, the invention concerns a method for detecting or quantifying DNA methylation at a locus. In one embodiment, a methylation-sensitive endonuclease is formulated together with a polymerase enzyme in an appropriate reaction mixture such that amplification of DNA occurs in a methylation specific manor. Quantitative DNA amplification at selected loci can be used to determine the level of methylation. Kits and reagents for performing such methods are also provided.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a new methodology aimed at preparing highly N-doped mesoporous carbon macroscopic composites, and their use as highly efficient heterogeneous metal-free catalysts in a number of industrially relevant catalytic transformations.

Abstract: A method is provided for creating a single interactive video file. The method includes receiving a selection of a plurality of 360-degree videos including a first 360-degree video and a second 360-degree video. The method also includes linking the first 360-degree video to the second 360-degree video to enable transitioning between the first 360-degree video and the second 360-degree video. The method also includes compiling the plurality of 360-degree videos into the single interactive file. The single interactive video file includes an index used to identify the second 360-degree video within the single interactive video file when the link is executed.

Abstract: Epigenetic methods for assessing pluripotentcy of a cell population, such as a stem cell culture are provided. For example, pluripotency can be assessed by determining DNA methylation status at the RAB25, NANOG, PTPN6, MGMT, GBP3 and/or LYST gene regions. Kits and reagents for testing cells are likewise provided.

Abstract: Methods, devices, apparatus, assemblies, and kits for performing a vascular anastomosis are disclosed. A device for a vascular anastomosis includes tissue engaging portions that can move between at least two configurations. In some embodiments, the tissue engaging portions move without the aid of moving parts, while in other embodiments the tissue engaging portions extend from one or more movable wings. The tissue engaging portions may be separated by a first distance when in a pre-deployment configuration and by a second distance when in a deployed configuration. A method includes engaging a plurality of tissue engaging members of a coupling device against first end tissue. After selectively engaging the tissue engaging members and first end tissue, the first end tissue is stretched by at least moving the tissue engaging members. The stretched first end tissue is coupled to the second end tissue by mating the coupling device to a mating anastomosis device.
