Abstract: The present invention relates to a molecular tracking device to follow distribution, acquisition, and retention of antigens in cells, such as in the lymphatic system of a subject. Molecular conjugates including an antigen conjugated to a nuclease-resistant tag are tracked using single-cell mRNA sequencing. The molecular tracking devices allow new approaches to investigate dynamic tissue dissemination of antigens and identify new mechanisms of antigen acquisition and retention at cellular resolution in vivo.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing interactive electronic commerce functionality via graphical overlays on live streaming video. An indication is received that an item is featured or discussed in a live video stream. The live video stream is sent to a client. Data encoding a selectable graphical overlay is sent to the client in response to the indication. The selectable graphical overlay is configured to be rendered by the client relative to the live video stream. A selection of the selectable graphical overlay is configured to perform an interactive function relative to the item.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a live video stream with an interactive shopping interface. A live video stream and item information are obtained from another computing device. The item information indicates one or more items being featured in the live video stream. A user interface is rendered upon a display. The user interface includes the live video stream and a timeline interface indicating the items being featured during various segments in the live video stream.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for implementing a networked environment that enables interaction between content requestors and content creators. The networked environment may be an online content exchange marketplace that content requestors may access to submit requests for content and receive bid proposals from content creators that identify proposed content to be generated. A content requestor may accept a bid proposal from a particular content creator and may receive the content from the content creator via the online content exchange marketplace. The content requestor may then submit a request to publish the content. Publishing the content may include making the content accessible to users via a content sharing platform.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a live video stream with an interactive shopping interface. A live video stream is obtained from a media server. Item information is obtained from the media server. The item information indicates one or more items being featured in the live video stream. A user interface is rendered upon a display. The user interface includes the live video stream and the item information indicating the items being featured in the live video stream.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of broadcaster tools configured to manage and control interactive shopping interfaces presented in connection with a live video stream. A broadcaster user interface is generated that includes the live video stream. The broadcaster user interface can be modified to include statistics related to the users consuming the live video stream. The broadcaster user interface can also be modified to include components that when selection cause an action to be performed with respect to the live video stream and/or interactive shopping interfaces rendered on client devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of broadcaster tools configured to manage interactive shopping interfaces presented in connection with a live video stream. A sequence of items scheduled to be featured within a live video stream is obtained. A user interface that facilitates editing the sequence of items is rendered. An edit to the sequence of items is received via the user interface. Item information transmitted to clients consuming the live video stream is modified based at least in part on the edit.

Abstract: A bracelet or other type of body jewelry, such as a necklace, an anklet, a belly chain, or earrings, secures the canopy of the umbrella, parasol, or personal sunshade in place and closed when not in use. A method of closure eliminates the need for snaps, straps, Velcro, buttons, etc. on the umbrella's canopy. The user slides the bracelet, or other type of body jewelry, onto the canopy to keep the canopy closed, and slides the jewelry off of the canopy and puts it on their wrist, or other body part, when they want to open and use the umbrella, parasol, or personal sunshade.

Abstract: The bracelet, or other type of body jewelry such as previously described, such as necklace, anklet, belly chain, earring, etc. keeps the canopy of the umbrella/parasol/personal sunshade in place and closed when not in use. This method of closure eliminates the need for snaps, straps, Velcro, buttons, etc. on the canopy. The user simply slides the bracelet (or other type of body jewelry) on to keep the canopy closed and slides it off and puts it on their wrist (or other body part) when they want to open and use the umbrella/parasol/personal sunshade.

Abstract: The present invention describes an enhanced method for detection and discrimination of unique single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using up to 4 forced nucleotide mismatches near the 3 prime end of an allele-specific primer(s) in a PCR reaction. This method also incorporates a fluorescently labeled primer(s) for detection by capillary electrophoresis. Allele specific primers may also be tailed at the 5 prime end to enable accurate discrimination between different amplicons.

Abstract: Digital content distribution systems and methods are provided for distributing for digital data files, such as digital audio and video data files. In accordance with one implementation, a token-based authentication system is provided that does not require knowledge of the individual user requesting the download of digital content data or real-time access to user account information. Instead, the token-based authentication system embeds the authentication information, or token, in the download request information itself. In this way, the download or content server authenticates the download request using the token contained in the download request information and therefore does not require any additional information to carry out this authentication, such as access to user account information.
