Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing non-beef livestock subjects to maximize their individual potential performance and value of a product from the nonbeef livestock subjects, and to maximize profits obtained in marketing the non-beef livestock subjects. The methods and systems draw to an inference of a trait of a non-beef livestock subject by determining the nucleotide occurrence of at least one non-beef livestock SNP that is determined to be associated with the trait. The inference is used in methods to establish economic value of non-beef livestock subject, improve profits related to selling beef from non-beef livestock subject; manage non-beef livestock subjects, sort non-beef livestock subjects; improve the genetics of non-beef livestock population by selecting and breeding non-beef livestock subjects, clone non-beef livestock subject with a specific trait, track meat or another commercial product of a non-beef livestock subject; and diagnose a health condition of a non-beef livestock subject.

Abstract: This invention relates to mutant DNA polymerases having an enhanced template discrimination activity compared with the corresponding unmodified DNA polymerase counterparts, wherein the amino acid sequence of the mutant DNA polymerase includes at least one substitution at residue positions structurally and functionally homologous or orthologous positions 783 or 784 of an unmodified Taq DNA polymerase.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method, system, and program for providing access to spatial data. A request for data is received. Enterprise and third party data are integrated.

Abstract: Customer-used objects, such as tabletops, dinnerware, and retail racks, are impregnated with an accelerometer, a processor, and a Bluetooth chip. Taping or knocking such an entity by alerts a worker of a requested service. The accelerometer captures vibration data associated with the tapping or knocking and sends that data to the processor. The processor recognizes the gesture's vibrations. Finally, a recognized gesture will command the Bluetooth chip to send an alert to the server. The invention prevents a customer from second-guessing possible orders or purchases and allows an employee to become more efficient, thus saving time money.

Abstract: Methods are provided for accurately learning part-to-part variability of an intake or exhaust oxygen sensor. A correction factor is learned based on a sensor reading in dry air conditions, the dry air reading learned by applying a higher reference voltage to the sensor. An ethanol transfer function is then adjusted based on the learned correction factor so as to improve the accuracy of combusted fuel ethanol content estimation.
