Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for a standalone and multi-game miniature golf structure. A sensor assembly located at an end of a putting surface of a putting structure includes a panel and a sensor. The panel is positioned adjacent to and below the end of the putting surface. The panel defines an upper surface along which a golf ball is to travel after dropping from the end of the putting surface. The upper surface includes a rear edge and a front edge. The sensor is positioned adjacent the panel to detect at which of a plurality of lateral positions the golf ball travels along the upper surface.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a shaft and a first annular knob fixed to the shaft and a second annular knob releasably engaged with the shaft. Each of the first and second annular knobs includes a front face, a face, and a central passage that receives the shaft. The central passage has first, second, and third sections. The width of each first section is greater than the width of the third section, and the width of the second section is greater than the width of the first section. The second section defines an annular slot between the first and third sections.

Abstract: A method may determine that first content in a first tab of a browser is associated with a first entity of an entity type and determine that second content in a second tab of the browser is associated with a second entity of the entity type. Responsive to determining that the first tab is associated with the first entity of the entity type and that the second tab is associated with the second entity of the entity type, a method may generate information used to provide a user interface for displaying first information for the first entity and second information for the second entity.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of improving the inhibitory profile of Streptococcus salivarius comprising formulating the S. salivarius in a composition comprising an effective amount of a supplemental saccharide. Also described herein are compositions comprising Streptococcus salivarius and supplemental saccharide, methods of inhibiting microorganisms using such compositions, therapeutic formulations comprising such compositions, and methods of treating or preventing diseases using such compositions and therapeutic formulations.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for a standalone and multi-game miniature golf structure. A structure includes a digital display screen positioned to align vertically with a rear end of a putting surface and sensor(s) positioned below the digital display screen. The sensor(s) are configured to detect lateral positions at which balls cross the rear end. The structure includes processor(s), that for each shot of a plurality of miniature golf games, are configured to send command signals to the digital display screen to display putting target(s); identify, via the sensor(s), a lateral position at which a golf ball crosses the rear end of the putting surface; determine whether the lateral position of the golf ball aligns vertically with any of the putting target(s); and generate a score for the shot based on the lateral position of the golf ball relative to the putting target(s).

Abstract: One general aspect of the present disclosure includes an article having a first zone, the first including a first region of a knitted base layer and a knitted second layer, where the second layer is disposed primarily on one side of the base layer. The article may further include a second zone that may include a second region of the base layer, where the second region of the base layer and the first region of the base layer have a common yarn, and where the second region of the base layer and the second layer have a common yarn. The first zone may have a first degree of elasticity such that it has a first elongation when subjected to a tensile load, and the second zone may have a second degree of elasticity such that it has a second elongation when subjected to the tensile load.

Abstract: A method for treating and/or preventing VacA+ H. pylori infection and a disorder associated with VacA+ H. pylori infection is provided. The method comprises the administration of TRPML agonists such as ML-SA1, SF-22, SF-51, MK6-83 and their derivatives.

Abstract: A miniature golf hole with a spinning wheel is disclosed. An example miniature golf hole includes a spinning wheel that defines cavities arranged circumferentially about the spinning wheel. A cavity surface of each of the cavities defines one or more cavity openings through which the golf ball is capable of traveling upon entering the respective cavity. The one or more cavity openings of each of the cavities are positioned at a radial distance along the spinning wheel that is different to that of the one or more cavity openings of the other of the cavities. A transfer panel is stationary and positioned below the spinning wheel. The transfer panel includes concentric rings each of which aligns vertically with the one or more cavity openings of a respective one of the cavities to receive the golf ball from the respective cavity.

Abstract: A gypsum product has a first polymeric additive and a second polymeric additive distributed therein, wherein the first polymeric additive is a synthetic polymer and the second polymeric additive is starch. It has been found that the combination of starch and a synthetic polymer may result in one or more of the following advantages in the manufacture and performance of gypsum products: —increased strength; —greater ease of manufacturing due to the increased fluidity of stucco slurries containing both additives; and —increased resistance to hygroscopic expansion.

Abstract: A plasterboard comprises a gypsum matrix having particles of agglomerated fibres embedded therein in an amount of at least 1 wt % relative to the gypsum, the gypsum matrix further comprising a polymeric additive, the polymeric additive being present in an amount of at least 1 wt % relative to the gypsum.
