  • Patent number: 11842798
    Abstract: A method for linking a natural product and gene cluster is disclosed. In some embodiments, monomers of natural products are predicted from a gene sequence. In other embodiments, monomers of natural products are predicted from a chemical structure of a natural product. In another embodiment, monomers predicted from gene sequences are aligned with monomers predicted from chemical structures.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220395055
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a sole structure for a shoe having a bottom surface, comprising, inter alia, a forefoot sole portion, arranged towards a distal end along a longitudinal central axis of said sole structure; a rearfoot sole portion, arranged towards a proximal end along said longitudinal central axis of said sole structure; and an articulation portion, adapted to operably couple said forefoot sole portion and said rearfoot sole portion, so as to allow relative movement between said forefoot sole portion and said rearfoot sole portion matching the triplanar movement provided by the midtarsal joint in any one of the frontal, sagittal and transverse plane of the foot, during use.

  • Patent number: 9797251
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a conveyor in a mining system. The conveyor includes a sprocket, a chain, a hydraulic cylinder, one or more sensors, and a controller. In one implementation, the method includes sensing a characteristic associated with the conveyor, generating a signal based on the characteristic, determining a tension associated with the chain based on the signal, determining an amount of chain stretch based on the tension, and modifying a position of the hydraulic cylinder based on the amount of chain stretch.
