Abstract: A cage assembly can have at least one enclosure. Each enclosure can have a floor defining a floor area having a major dimension and a cover having a bottom surface. A spacing between the bottom surface of the cover and the floor can define a cage height. At least one sidewall can extend between the floor and the cover. A ratio of the cage height to the major dimension of the floor area of each enclosure of the at least one enclosure can be at least 0.70.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are computer-implemented methods of, and computer systems for, constructing dual cryptographic proofs for transactions where transaction data is stored in a cryptographically-linked data file and in an incremental hash tree, where a dual cryptographic proof includes linear cryptographic proof data from the cryptographically-linked transaction file and binary cryptographic proof data from the incremental hash tree. The transaction may include one or more key-value pairs.

Abstract: A threading accessory comprising a belt and two rotatable wheels configured to revolve the belt which has a circumferential groove formed in an outer face thereof and configured to receive and hold a portion of a thread therein. One or more press-wheels are used to engage a portion of the belt passing between the rotating wheels and elastically deform the belt portion to thereby at least partially wrap it about and latch the thread portion inside in the circumferential groove for propulsion by the belt.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for selective crop management in real time.

Abstract: Disclosed are a computer-hosted database system providing cryptographic verifiability and comprising an immutable key-value data store and cryptographic proof data (which may be stored in a Merkle Hash Tree). The logical structure of a data record is defined by a rich data model and comprises a first field and a second field. Disclosed is a method that comprises receiving an instruction requesting retrieval of first field data and returning the data stored in the first field and cryptographic proof data sufficient to prove data originality of the first field data without knowledge of the data in the second field. The rich data model may be a relational data model or a document data model.

Abstract: The invention disclosed herein concerns screening and early detection of a variety of disease conditions in seemingly healthy subjects, enabling early intervention and treatment.

Abstract: A cable connector including a connector shell including a support and an insert, wherein the insert includes a surface inclined to a cable-to-face direction of the insert so as to re-direct force applied on a face side of the insert sideways toward sides of the connector shell, and the support includes a surface inclined to the cable-to-face direction of the connector shell so as to react to the force, pushing back on the insert, thereby exerting a compression force on the insert. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to seedless pepper (SLP); and more specifically, it pertains to male sterile pepper plants having unique characteristics including the capability of growing edible seedless fruits, wherein the “seedless” trait is controlled by a genetic determinant independent of exogenous factors.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable with a connector for a rugged environment, including a connector assembly, a fiber optic cable entering a back side of the connector assembly, wherein the fiber optic entering the back side of the connector assembly is sealed to the back side of the connector, a transceiver housed in the connector assembly, wherein the fiber optic cable is attached to the transceiver, a power converter packaged in the connector assembly, wherein the power converter is electrically connected to the transceiver, and an electrical connection electrically connected on a first side to an electrical signal contact in the transceiver and on a second side to a face-side electric contact of the connector assembly. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, devices, circuits and computer executable code for impression measurement and evaluation. A mobile device is used to acquire a digital depiction of a real-world object and for the selection of one or more raters for providing feedback to the object depiction. A system server is used to select a depiction presentation scheme for the object depiction. One or more rater modules, are used for presenting the received object depiction and a rater feedback interface, in accordance with the presentation scheme, for rater feedback.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to new salts of Vortioxetine, including butyrate, iso-butyrate, benzoate and propionate, solid state forms of the Vortioxetine salts, processes for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical formulations/compositions thereof, and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: A system and method provides techniques and analysis tools for measuring how individuals perceive and respond to valences and more subtle “micro-valences” present in stimuli. The invention includes a process that uses human neuroimaging and behavioral techniques to measure valence in order to predict how individuals will perceive and react to any stimulus designed to engage individuals, e.g., end users or consumers, including, but not limited to, products, brands, logos, packaging, banner ads, and advertisements and their subcomponents or features, such as shape, color, pattern, and material properties.

Abstract: A toy for use in connection with the playing of a thumb-wrestling game comprises a thimble, adapted to be mounted upon a player's thumb, and a combat-ant figurine attached to the thimble. The figurine may be fixedly attached to the thimble or detachably attached to the thimble such that various different figurines may be interchangeably mounted upon a single thimble. Scoring indicia are also provided upon either the thimble or both the thimble and figurine, and still further, arithmetic operational indicia may also be provided, such scoring indicia and arith-metic operational indicia being utilized in connection with the scoring of points after the thumb-wrestling match.
