Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for processing biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acid molecules, proteins) from a sample. A method for processing biomolecules may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule) and barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex or derivatives thereof. Such a method can comprise performing a nucleic acid reaction, e.g., extension, denaturation, and amplification. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing probes to (i) target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., RNA molecule) and (ii) a reporter oligonucleotide of a feature binding group, and barcoding the probe-associated molecules. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an attraction system that includes a walkway, a carrier disposed at a first side of the walkway, and a barrier disposed at a second side of the walkway opposite the first side. The carrier is configured to translate relative to the walkway, and the barrier is removably coupled to the carrier. Translation of the carrier relative to the walkway transitions the barrier between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration.

Abstract: A system, and corresponding methods are disclosed for automated rule based content mining, analysis, and implementation of consequences to input data.

Abstract: Expanded slag, especially blast-furnace slag of Thomas melts is made by passing the slag along a trough in which water is fed into a layer of the molten slag. The slag is then permitted to cascade downwardly along an inclined surface which is wetted with water and finally is dispersed by a rotating disintegration drum and curtain of finely divided water. The expanded slag has a lower density, a more complete expansion characteristic and a greater uniformity than conventionally produced expanded slags.
