Abstract: The present invention relates to a vaccine for protecting a pig against diseases associated with corona virus infection including porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and/or porcine deltacorona virus (PDCoV). The vaccine commonly includes inactivated/killed PEDV (e.g., chemically inactivated PED virus), and/or recombinant PEDV antigen, and/or an adjuvant inactivated/killed PDCoV (e.g., chemically inactivated PDCoV virus), and/or recombinant PDCoV antigen and an adjuvant. Methods for protecting pigs against diseases associated with PEDV and/or PDCoV and methods of producing the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and/or porcine deltacorona virus vaccine are also provided.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide for an improved ear-worn device for attaching the ear-worn device to an ear of a user using a hooking body. The hooking body may be secured to the user's ear. In some embodiments, a device body may be coupled to the hooking body via a hinge. The device body may be moved (relative to the hooking body) using the hinge to cause the ear-worn device to transition from a closed configuration to an open configuration, and vice versa.

Abstract: A cervical dilation reading apparatus and method of use to accurately and precisely determine cervical dilation measurements during labor and delivery. The apparatus includes a measuring device having a length with a first end and a second end, a fixed attachment configured to couple with a first finger and fixedly engage the first end of the measuring device, and a slidable attachment configured to couple with a second finger and slidably engage the measuring device along the length between the first and second ends.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide for an improved attachment apparatus for attaching the attachment apparatus to an ear of a user using a hook body. The hooking body may be secured to the user's ear, such as in response to receiving a deforming force from the user that causes the hooking body to deform in conformity with at least a portion of the root of the user's ear. In some embodiments, the hooking body may be coupled to the attachment body via the bridging member of the attachment body. Accordingly, the hooking body may be configured to secured the attachment apparatus to the user's ear. In some embodiments, a sealing body may be coupled to the plate member of the attachment body, and the cover body may form at least a partial acoustic seal around the user's ear while the hooking body is secured to the attachment apparatus to the ear.
