Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions to enhance the efficiency and sensitivity of molecular inversion probe (MIP) reactions. Probes include elements that allow MIP ends to abut for ligation while avoiding the possibility of polymerase strand displacement errors. Elements facilitate multiplexed detections, including MIP reaction product detections employing next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques.

Abstract: Provided is an increased capacity firearm ammunition magazine with a metallic body. The body is dimensioned to compatibly replace a (OEM) polymer or polymer over metal single stack magazine. The body has walls with exterior dimensions compatibly matching those of the OEM magazine and that are thinner than those of the OEM magazine. The thinner walls allow an at least partially laterally offset arrangement of cartridges therein. A longitudinal exterior ridge extends along a forward wall of the body and is configured from the metallic body walls and sized to compensate for forward-to-aft dimensioning difference compared to that of the OEM magazine.

Abstract: A transformable shipping bag includes a front panel and a rear panel that each are formed with a substantially planar sheet of material bounded by an outer circumferential edge, a binding that binds a contiguous first portion of the outer circumferential edges of the front and rear panels to realize an inner volume, said binding resulting in an opening embodying a second portion of the outer circumferential edges, the opening allowing access to the inner volume and a handle configured to be stored within the inner volume while the transformable shipping bag is deployed as a shipping bag, and configured to be detachably attached to the binded front and rear panels of the transformable shipping bag, when the transformable shipping bag is to be deployed as a carry bag or backpack.

Abstract: Embodiments of a risk assessment and intervention platform architecture are disclosed, where the risk assessment and intervention platform can predict and reduce negative medical outcomes. Embodiments of the risk assessment and intervention platform may include components with controls or interface elements to receive instructions from clinicians to set parameters for interventions and then to enroll, track, and monitor patient activity through the medical treatment plans. Embodiments of a scoring engine are configured based on a specific medical treatment plan and intervention protocols to initiate intervention as needed.

Abstract: A system and method to provide a sentiment measurement system with automatic ad placement to collect surveys of voters is described. This enables a candidate to rapidly and easily measure voter sentiment at scale, quickly and cost-effectively while addressing technical limitations that normally prevent accurate use of traditional internet ad platforms for such purposes. Existing ad targeting is not designed for providing representative samples, thus the system can automatically target ads and regularly adjust based on incoming poll responses to ensure representative data is received. The system and method applies to other sentiment measurement, e.g. general opinion polling. Further, the system and method combines online micro-targeting with dynamic bias correction to produce appropriate sample groups.
