Abstract: The present invention is a multifunctional cell phone case configured for providing protection to a cell phone while also providing charging for a battery of the cell phone. The case includes a plurality of solar cells integrated onto an exterior of the rear surface thereof for absorbing sunlight and converting same into electrical energy to charge phone. The case has a dust cover flap on the bottom wall thereof that has a charging port such as a micro-USB port which plugs into the charging connector of the phone, transferring electric power generated from the solar energy to the phone for charging. This invention offers a sustainable and eco-friendly way to charge the cell phone, making it a practical and innovative solution for modern-day smartphone users.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for accurate identification of Parkinson's disease are disclosed. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to the determination of Parkinson's disease in ante-mortem tissue samples.

Abstract: A set of building components includes at least connector components and elongate members. A connector component includes a main body and one or more receptacles. In some embodiments, a connector component may also include male studs and/or female receiving areas configured to couple the connector to other components or conventional building blocks which include the corresponding feature. The elongate members can be secured within the receptacles of the connectors and, in some embodiments, may include slots along a lateral surface to facilitate this connection and provide an additional coupling for further building components. Moreover, in some embodiments, a set of building components may also include sliders configured to be movably coupled around the elongate members. The sliders may also include male studs and/or female receiving areas in some embodiments.

Abstract: A toy vehicle configured to move across a support surface is disclosed. In some embodiments, the toy vehicle may include a body having a top portion and a bottom portion; a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted to the body and configured to rotatably support the body on the support surface in a plurality of positions including an upright position, and an inverted position, wherein less than all of the plurality of wheels rotatably support the body on the support surface when the body is in the inverted position; and a stabilizing mechanism mounted to the body, the stabilizing mechanism being configured, when the body is in the inverted position, to move a portion of the body away from the support surface such that one or more of the plurality of wheels may be driven to return the body in the upright position.

Abstract: A reconfigurable toy which may be used to selectively simulate a robotic humanoid figure and a rock configuration. The toy has head, arm and leg members which are rotatably coupled to a torso member. Each member has a surface simulating part of a robotic humanoid figure and a rock simulating surface. The toy may be folded into a compact configuration by rotating the members until they are positioned so that only the rock simulating surfaces of the members are visible and a rock configuration is simulated such as a boulder resting on a supporting surface. The toy may then be unfolded or reconfigured to simulate a robotic humanoid figure supported on two leg members.
