Abstract: A package in which an onboard computing system and a plurality of sensor devices are embedded. The package includes a plurality of cameras that are positioned against sidewalls of the package in order to capture image data of the external environment. When the computing system determines the package has arrived at a predesignated set of coordinates corresponding to a target property for which an appraisal is to be performed, the cameras are activated and begin collecting image data. The image data is transmitted to a remote server which will store the image data for review by insurance personnel.

Abstract: A reference transistor forms part of a measurement circuit coupled to bias control circuitry that is configured to operate a primary transistor at a desired operating point by providing appropriate DC bias voltages to the control terminal of the primary transistor and one or more current terminals of the primary transistor based upon an output of the measurement circuit generated using the reference transistor. A dissipative circuit element is electrically coupled to the reference transistor and is configured to cause the reference transistor to exhibit negative gain at a drain terminal (or other output node) of the reference transistor with respect to alternating-current (AC) electrical signals which may be unintentionally coupled to the gate (or other input node) of the reference transistor.

Abstract: A cleaning solution for a turbine engine includes water; a first organic acidic component that comprises citric acid; a second organic acidic component that comprises glycolic acid; isopropylamine sulphonate; alcohol ethoxylate; triethanol amine; and sodium lauriminodipropionate. The cleaning solution has a pH value between about 2.5 and about 7.0.

Abstract: The invention relates to immunogenic peptides encoded by an open reading frame (ORF) encoded by at least part of the genome of a coronavirus in the opposite sense to positive sense RNA capable of translation. The invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding such peptide, the use of such peptides and polynucleotides for the treatment and prevention of viral infection, and complexes comprising the peptides of the invention.

Abstract: Described herein are compounds capable of modulating the level of activity of Serine/threonine protein kinase 3 (STK3) or serine/threonine protein kinase 4 (STK4), compositions, and methods of using these compounds and compositions.

Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials for generating oilseed (e.g., pennycress) plants that have oil with reduced levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and/or increased levels of oleic acid. For example, oilseed plants having reduced expression levels of one or more polypeptides involved in fatty acid biosynthesis (e.g., fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) and reduced oleate desaturation 1 (ROD1)), as well as methods and materials for making and using such oilseed plants are provided.

Abstract: Anti-microbial wound dressings, methods of making anti-microbial wound dressings and methods of treating wounds with an anti-microbial wound dressing are provided. The anti-microbial wound dressings can include a water-soluble film-forming polymeric carrier material and a water-soluble glass-encapsulated anti-microbial agent, which is embedded within the carrier and/or coated on a surface thereof. Additional active agents useful in wound care can also be embedded in and/or coated on a surface of the carrier and/or water-soluble glass.
