Abstract: A computer design verification system comprising a parsing module configured to receive output messages from a computer design testing tool and to compose from the output messages formatted objects comprising a set of fields having field descriptors and test values; a signoff module holding a plurality of signoff objects, each comprising a plurality of fields having a field descriptor, at least some fields populated with a signoff expression, each signoff object associated with a severity level indicative of the severity of a condition represented by the signoff object. The signoff module is configured compare at least one test value in the formatted objects received from the parsing module with at least one signoff expression in the signoff objects to determine if a signoff object matches the formatted object, and in the case of a match, associating the severity level of the signoff object with the formatted object.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions relating to gene therapy for treating epilepsy, such as a temporal lobe epilepsy, in a subject in need thereof by targeting Grik2 mRNA. In particular, the present disclosure provides inhibitory RNA constructs capable of inhibiting expression of GluK2 protein and inhibiting epileptiform discharges in hyperexcitable neuronal circuit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements in the field of tools, such as utility knives. The tool features a battery powered illumination element that allows the user to illuminate the working surface and working edge. This enhances working with a tool or utility knife in conditions where there is inadequate light. The user can press a button on the handle to activate or deactivate the light without deploying the blade, and the batteries that power the light may be replaced or recharged as needed.

Abstract: A collar fastening system that includes a collar fastening tool, and a collar loading assembly coupled to the collar fastening tool. The collar loading assembly includes a loading arm that rotates into multiple positions and a holding member coupled to the loading arm. The loading arm positions the holding member between a loading position and an unloading position. The holding member includes an arcuate side wall and a vacuum opening defined in the arcuate side wall. The holding member receives a collar when at the loading position, and selectively holds the collar against the arcuate side wall with a retaining force provided by a vacuum applied via the vacuum opening. The loading arm provides the collar to the collar fastening tool when at the unloading position.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a refreshable braille display accessory for a game controller that includes a housing sized to be received by a handheld game controller, a braille display including a plurality of pins arranged in a plurality of braille cells, each of the plurality of braille cells to provide tactile feedback representative of individual braille characters, and a control circuit enclosed within the housing to control refreshable activation of at least a portion of the plurality of pins based at least in part on a translation of game text or game audio.

Abstract: An apparatus (102) for processing a metal ribbon (116) comprising a main portion (118) and a sacrificial portion (120) adjoining the main portion (118) of the metal ribbon (116), is disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a braille chording accessory for a game controller that includes a housing sized to be removably received by a handheld game controller, a plurality of paddles arranged as a braille cell on the housing, and a control circuit to translate a touch force applied to at least a portion of the plurality of paddles into individual braille characters.

Abstract: A game controller with haptic Braille chording capability. While a conventional game controller are geared to sighted players, the disclosed controller configurations include various adaptations that provide alternative input and outputs to facilitate game play by sight-impaired or blind users, as well as other users knowledgeable of Braille. A number of paddles may be arranged on a game controller housing so that a player may engage selected ones of the paddles to enable encoding braille characters using the paddles. This input may be used to control a game, enter text into a chat session or take any other action desired. The converse may also occur, where a combination of the paddles may provide haptic feedback detectable by a user holding a game controller so that the paddles encode braille output (or other data), allowing a user to receive output simply by contact with the paddles.

Abstract: In one aspect, a vacuum alignment tool for holding and aligning a first fastener with a second fastener is provided. The vacuum alignment tool includes a main body including an end wall having an aperture disposed therein configured to receive at least a portion of the first fastener. The vacuum alignment tool also includes a vacuum receiving portion coupled to the main body. The vacuum receiving portion including a vacuum bore disposed therein, wherein a vacuum channel extends within the main body and within the vacuum receiving portion between the aperture and the vacuum bore.

Abstract: A tray is formed of a base in a horizontal plane with a periphery in a rectangular configuration. The tray has four side walls extending upwardly from the periphery of the base. The tray has divider panels dividing the tray into chambers. An outwardly extending plank has a sinusoidal exterior with indents for removably receiving and supporting upper extents of golf clubs. A stand has three pivoting legs below and a pivot assembly above with a horizontal dovetail slot. A dovetail projection depending downwardly from the base of the tray is slidably received in the dovetail slot.
