Abstract: A system or method for determining a satellite observation for a virtual reference station can include: determining a virtual reference station location, receiving a set of satellite observations at a reference station located at a reference station location, determining a first GNSS correction for the virtual reference station location and a second GNSS correction for the reference station location, and determining the satellite observation for the virtual reference station by combining the set of satellite observations, the first GNSS correction, and the second GNSS correction.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a peripheral nerve injury in a subject. The methods include administering to the subject at or near the site of the peripheral nerve injury an effective amount of a composition comprising an agent that promotes remyelination of the peripheral nerve. Also provided are methods of determining whether a peripheral nerve injury has a capacity for recovery. The methods include selecting a subject with a peripheral nerve injury, administering to the subject a first dose of a composition comprising and agent that promote remyelination and detecting after the first dose one or more characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery, the presence of one or more characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery indicating a peripheral nerve injury has a capacity for recovery and the absence of characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery indicating a peripheral nerve injury without a capacity for recovery.

Abstract: A checkout system includes a checkout station having a housing, a customer interface and a customer unloading station. A point-of-sale system has a microprocessor and memory operatively associated with one another to identify products being purchased, payments tendered therefor and to store transaction information locally at the checkout station or remotely from the checkout station. The microprocessor has programming configured to allow an item to be scanned by a product identification scanner, and an attendant command module.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of treating a subject with an acute traumatic injury are disclosed. The methods include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a potassium channel blocker. The potassium channel blocker can include 4-aminopyridine, a derivative thereof, or a combination thereof. The pharmaceutical composition can be administered with an additional therapeutic agent such as an anticonvulsant. The methods can be used for treating acute traumatic injury to an excitable tissue. The methods can restore at least a portion of lost motor function or sensory function, enhance repair and regeneration of stem or progenitor cells such as to promote neural cell generation, enhance cell survival, reduce scarring, decreases sox9 expression, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan expression, and other markers of tissue damage, decreases lesion size, decreases oxidative damage, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of treating a subject with cancer are described. The methods include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound with the dual characteristics or restoring function of the c-Cbl ubiquitin ligase in cancer cells and in also worsening sublethal lysosomal dysfunction, preferably in combination with an agent capable of making cancer cells more oxidized. The pharmaceutical composition can be administered with an additional therapeutic agent or agents such as an agent that represents an accepted standard of care for the treatment of a particular type being treated. The methods can be used for treating a wide variety of different kinds of cancers, such as brain tumors, breast cancers, melanomas, breast cancers and lymphomas.

Abstract: A marine outboard engine for a watercraft has a stern bracket for mounting the marine outboard engine to the watercraft, a swivel bracket pivotally connected to the stern bracket about a generally horizontal tilt/trim axis, and a drive unit pivotally connected to the swivel bracket about a steering axis. The steering axis is generally perpendicular to the tilt/trim axis. A hydraulic actuator is operatively connected to the stern bracket and the swivel bracket for pivoting the swivel bracket and the drive unit relative to the stern bracket about the tilt/trim axis. A pump is mounted to the swivel bracket. The pump is pivotable about the tilt/trim axis together with the swivel bracket. The pump is fluidly connected to the hydraulic actuator to supply hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator.
