Abstract: The invention discloses an automated material inventory and delivery system for underground mines using a shaft and hoist transporting material from the surface to working areas. The system includes means for automatically and paperless processing orders for supplies from a plurality of locations within the mine. The system communicates to client through a plurality of terminals located throughout the mine and tracks material received, stored and distributed using electronic inventory tracking means. Loading and unloading of material into and out of the cage is automatic and includes automatic guided vehicle means to gather the ordered material and deliver to the cage. The system includes means whereby consumable supplies are autonomously delivered to a working area to ensure sufficient material is on hand to meet production targets. Ore may be transported to the surface using the cage and ore containers, optimizing the use of the hoist and increasing mine production.

Abstract: The invention provides a newly discovered oxadiazole class of antibiotics. The oxadiazoles impair cell-wall biosynthesis and exhibit activities against the Gram-positive bacteria such as the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant and linezolid-resistant S. aureus. For example, 5-(1H-indol-5-yl)-3-(4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (antibiotic 75b) was efficacious in a mouse model of MRSA infection, exhibiting a long half-life, a high volume of distribution, and low clearance. Antibiotic 75b antibiotic is bactericidal and is orally bioavailable. This class of antibiotics can be used as a therapeutic agent against infections by Gram-positive bacteria such as MRSA.

Abstract: A platform comprises a system employing an integration layer between the operating system and Direct x or Metal, visual recognition & machine learning techniques and a transactional ad server creating an encrypted json token for Quest registrations. The selected game can be on any one of different or many platforms. The result can have a leveling effect for differently skilled gamers. In a video game, the machine learning trains the system to read one or more game screens of a video game in near real time, and analyzes the screens for game results. A routine permits integration into a program of a video game, without input from a player of the video game.

Abstract: We disclose herein that the BlaR1 protein of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), an antibiotic sensor/signal transducer, is phosphorylated on exposure to ?-lactam antibiotics. This event is critical for the onset of the biochemical events that unleash induction of antibiotic resistance. The BlaR1 phosphorylation and the antibiotic-resistance phenotype are abrogated in the presence of inhibitors described herein that restore susceptibility of the organism to ?-lactam antibiotics. The invention thus provides compounds and methods for abrogating antibiotic resistance to ?-lactam antibiotics and for treating infections causes by antibiotics prone to developing resistance.

Abstract: A wear pad for use on a slide of an endless track conveyor belt comprising an elongated body having a flat top surface for slidably supporting a conveyor belt during travel of the belt over the top surface between leading and trailing edges of the top surface, and a plurality of grooves having V-shaped cross-sections in said top surface extending between the leading and trailing edges of the body for discharging liquid falling onto the top surface, whereby drag between the wear pad and the belt is reduced.
