Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed transmit a composite channel to a receiver. The composite channel may be a static channel that contains different original channels of content in different locations on a displayed page, or may be a dynamic channel that is processed by the receiver to display a multiple different video streams on a single display device.

Abstract: Methods, kits, and compositions for evaluating the quality of nucleic acids within a biological sample for analysis in a molecular assay are provided. A kit is provided for evaluating a biological sample containing potentially degraded DNA, comprising a control reagent and a target amplification reagent, wherein the control amplification reagent comprises one or more pairs of amplification oligonucleotides capable of amplifying a medium chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (MCAD) nucleic acid molecule or a complement thereof, and wherein the target amplification reagent comprises one or more pairs of amplification oligonucleotides capable of amplifying a non-MCAD target gene of interest or a complement thereof. Frequently, one or more of the amplification oligonucleotides is/are labeled.

Abstract: A controller doorbell circuit includes a first terminal of a button wired to a first terminal of a transformer, a second terminal of the transformer wired to an input transformer terminal of a controller wired to a battery power source and coupled in signal communication to a mobile device, a transformer terminal of a signaling device wired to an output transformer terminal of the controller, and a second terminal of the button and an alarm terminal of the signaling device wired to an alarm terminal of the controller. The controller opens disabling the controller doorbell circuit disabling the signaling device from sounding an alarm when the button is pressed, in response to a first signal from the mobile device. The controller closes enabling the controller doorbell circuit enabling the signaling device to sound the alarm when the button is pressed, in response to a second signal from the mobile device.

Abstract: A system for remotely identifying, tracking, and monitoring transported goods includes a sensing and communications device (14) embedded in a shipping container (2). The sensing and communications device (14) includes onboard sensors (58,60,62) and wirelessly communicates with external sensors (24,26) to receive environmental and structural condition data. The device (14) communicates the data via either an RF interface (52,54) or a cellular telephone system interface (48,50) to a remote monitoring station (68). The remote monitoring station (68) analyzes the data, presents the data to a user, and enables the user to program the device (14).

Abstract: A foldable container comprises a box including a floor and sidewalls attached to one another to present a chamber. The box further includes foldable panels that shift from a retracted position within the chamber to an upright extended position. The extended panels serve to expand the chamber for containing a liquid or solid bulk material. The extended panels are interconnected by joints that resist tampering and that are tamper-evident. The container further includes a retaining assembly for securely holding the material in the chamber and a lid for covering the chamber. The lid cooperates with the panels to resist tampering and to be tamper-evident. The container also includes stanchions for selectively stacking at least two containers when the containers are storing the bulk material.
