Abstract: A sporting venue includes a sporting course having a first topography over which an athlete traverses and a fall protection system. The fall protection system includes an overhead support structure having one or more cables or trusses extending over the sporting course and configured to support the weight of the athlete, a trolley slidably engaged with the overhead support structure and configured to travel with the athlete while traversing the sporting course, a self-retracting fall arrestor comprising a lanyard operably coupled to a braking system configured to prevent or slow a fall of the athlete, and a lanyard extending from the self-retracting fall arrestor and configured to couple to a harness of the athlete.

Abstract: An in-ground trampoline system configured to provide a ground level jumping surface which consists of a trampoline, a pit, and a segmented retaining wall configured to support the walls of the pit.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel methods for screening for compounds useful in treating telomerase positive cancers. In exemplary embodiments, screening methods are based on the implementation or manipulation of therapeutic agents that up-regulate activity or expression of MKRN polypeptides or polynucleotides encoding the same, respectively. The methods are useful in identifying agents that can serve as cancer therapeutic agents.

Abstract: Compositions are disclosed comprising complexes of polynucleotide molecules which are covalently coupled to ligand moieties that are specifically bound to ligand-binding molecules, where the ligand binding molecules have multiple ligand-binding sites that specifically bind to the ligand moieties. Each polynucleotide molecule in these complexes is covalently coupled to at least one ligand moiety which is specifically bound to a ligand-binding site on a ligand-binding molecule. Most or all of the ligand-binding molecules in the complexes are linked to multiple polynucleotide molecules by specific binding to multiple ligand moieties; and most or all of the polynucleotide molecules in the compositions are included in these complexes. Also disclosed are methods for preparing compositions of the invention and for using them to introduce polynucleotides into cells, including for expressing genes for gene therapy.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle adapted to be recessed into a work surface, having a concealed compartment containing electrical ports for connection to a remote power supply and communications devices and an exposed compartment for connecting electrical cables to the ports. The ports are mounted on a partition plate isolating the exposed compartment from the concealed compartment, which is disposed at an oblique angle relative to the work surface to facilitate the connection and detachment of electrical cables and reduce clutter in the work space. The receptacle housing is preferably formed from components which are longitudinally linear, and are thus able to be extruded from aluminum and formed to interlock so that the housing can be assembled without welding. In the preferred embodiment the front portion is engaged to the rear portion along a slip-fit interlock and the partition plate is engaged between the front and rear portions in snap-fit relation.

Abstract: A cantilevered shelf system includes a shelf bracket having an upper jaw, a lower jaw extending beyond the upper jaw and a back plate adjoining the upper jaw and the lower jaw, and a shelf having a top face with an engaging surface which contacts the upper jaw as the shelf is mounted into the bracket. The shelf has a bottom face with a rear cam edge and a longitudinal groove forwardly of the cam edge for insertion of a projection on the lower jaw. The distance between the cam edge and the engaging surface is slightly greater than the distance between the upper jaw and the lower jaw, so that the cam edge splays the jaws apart as the shelf is being mounted and the shelf snaps into a mounted position in which the projection is seated in the groove. When the shelf is fully mounted the cam edge resists upward displacement of the shelf and the projection prevents forward displacement of the shelf.
