Abstract: Apparatus 2 for supporting a musical keyboard 112 between two microphone stands 100, 106 comprising a body member 4 having a first end portion 6 and a second end portion 8. A first clamping arrangement 10 is provided at the first end portion 6 and configured to releasably clamp a microphone stand 100. A second clamping arrangement 12 is provided at the second end portion 8 and configured to releasably clamp a microphone stand 106. The body member 4 is arranged with respect to the first clamping arrangement 10 and the second clamping arrangement 12 such that, when the first clamping arrangement 10 is clamped to a first microphone stand 100 and the second clamping arrangement 12 is clamped to a second microphone stand 106 which is spaced from the first microphone stand 100, the body member 4 is arranged to support a musical keyboard for use of the keyboard.

Abstract: Methods and systems for producing feedstock powders, suitable for use in laser-based additive manufacturing, use laser ablation to vaporize a source material, which may be in bulk solid or solid coarse grain form. The source material is vaporized by a laser (or other focused energy source) in a vaporization chamber that is temperature controlled to provide a vertical thermal gradient. The vertical thermal gradient may be controlled to, in turn, control the nucleation, coagulation, and agglomeration of the vaporized molecules, enabling formation of microparticles that may then be used as feedstock powders in laser-based additive manufacturing. The produced feedstock powder particles may be of uniform composition, of uniform shape (e.g., substantially spherical), and of uniform phase or homogeneously mixed phases.

Abstract: Described herein are particles comprising a first compartment, a second compartment, and a compound of Formula (I), as well as compositions and methods of making and using the same. The particles may comprise a cell capable of expressing a therapeutic agent useful for the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition described herein.

Abstract: Described herein are RPE cells engineered to secrete a FVII protein, as well as compositions, pharmaceutical preparations, and implantable devices comprising the engineered RPE cells, and methods of making and using the same for treating a patient with hemophilia or FVII deficiency.

Abstract: Described herein are RPE cells engineered to secrete a GLA protein, as well as compositions, pharmaceutical preparations, and implantable devices comprising the engineered RPE cells, and methods of making and using the same for treating Fabry disease.

Abstract: Described herein are implantable devices comprising means for mitigating the foreign body response (FBR) and at least one cell-containing compartment which comprises a plurality of cells (e.g., live cells) encapsulated in a polymer composition comprising a cell-binding substance (CBS), as well as compositions and methods of making and using the same. The cells are capable of expressing a therapeutic agent useful for the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition described herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to new compounds that reduce c-Myc expression and useful for cancer treatment, particularly hematological cancers such as aggressive B- and T-cell lymphomas. The new compounds may be combined with adjunct c-Myc inhibor agents such as a PI3K inhibitor, CK-1 inhibitor, Akt-inhibitor, proteasome inhibitor and/or mTor inhibitor. The c-Myc reducing agent may be provided as a lead-in treatment to reduce or initiate reduction of c-Myc prior to administration of the adjunct cancer therapeutic agent. Treatment with a c-Myc reducing agent modulates the disease state of the c-Myc overexpressing cancer making it less malignant and more susceptible to adjunctive cancer therapies.

Abstract: Organizing a synchronous communication session can include determining, using a processor of a data processing system, a context responsive to detecting a trigger event. The context specifies a foreground application executing within the data processing system. Candidate participants can be determined from the context. A user interface is displayed separate from the foreground application. The user interface lists the candidate participants. Further, responsive to a user input received within the user interface, an invite to the candidate participants is sent. The invite specifies access information for the synchronous communication session.
