Abstract: Button functionalities for user interfaces, e.g., for use with a portable multifunction device, are disclosed. Exemplary button functionalities are described for an electronic device with a display, a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, and/or a button. Different device features may be accessed, depending on whether the rotatable and depressible input mechanism or the button is activated, and further depending on whether the activation represents a single press, a double press, or an extended press on the rotatable and depressible input mechanism or the button.

Abstract: Described here is a method for reducing or preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation in a human subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the human subject a first composition comprising (a) an antigen-binding polypeptide that binds Pf-family bacteriophage, or (b) a vaccine against Pf-family bacteriophage. Also described is an antigen-binding polypeptide that binds specifically to a CoaB protein of Pf-family bacteriophage or fragment thereof.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an apparatus and method for curing plant matter. The apparatus and method provides for efficiently and effectively curing plant matter, creating a simple and cost-effective solution to address the need for individuals and small entities to cure plant matter. Plant material is placed within a cylindrical housing with a false bottom, a lid is placed on the cylindrical housing and fresh air is cycled into the cylindrical housing, via a pump, to remove the stale air trapped inside and replace it with fresh air. The periodic cycling of fresh air into the chamber provides for a more refined and higher quality product.

Abstract: Described is a system for discriminating between individual accounts and organization accounts in a social media network. The system processes data from a social media network comprising a set of user accounts. A directed mention network, a bi-directed mention network, and a set of computer-observable network metrics are generated. A classification model is trained using the set of computer-observable network metrics and a set of ground-truth user accounts. The trained classification model is used to classify each user account in the set of user accounts as an individual account or an organization account, resulting in a set of classified user accounts.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for securing and lubricating a bushing. The device comprises: a first member having a first body portion, a first engaging portion extending outwardly from the first body portion, and at least one channel drilled through a lateral outer surface of the first engaging portion and extending along a complete length of the body portion; and a second member having a second body portion and a second engaging portion disposed internally and along a longitudinal axis of the second body portion. The first engaging portion mounts a bushing covering at least a portion of an opening of the channel on the lateral outer surface and engages with the second engaging portion, thereby sandwiching the bushing between the first member and the second member. Pressurizing a lubricant through the channel transmits the lubricant to an inner surface of the bushing through the opening of the channel on the first engaging portion.

Abstract: A reusable dense packaging system used to transport large size display substrates, is provided made up of three main components; a pallet frame, a cover, and restraining means. The restraining means securely hold the glass sheets within the cover and on the pallet frame. Restraining means includes one or more retaining bars moving towards and away from the front of the glass sheets and a mechanical system. The mechanical system may include the use of a pressing panel, a belt apparatus, a scissor-like mechanism, positioning devices, or a retaining bar pulling system, each capable of moving towards and away from the front of the glass sheets. Each embodiment allows for packaging from 1 to N glass sheets with flexibility and stability and with manual or automatic operation.

Abstract: A method of analyzing cellular samples that include a chemically crosslinked analyte is provided. The analysis typically involves the use of mass spectrometry.
