Methods of treating a myotonic dystrophy associated disease or disorder caused by mis-splicing of GABRG2 in a subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a GABAA receptor antagonist or inverse agonist to the subject are disclosed. Methods of improving cognitive function or alertness in a subject having myotonic dystrophy comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a GABAA receptor antagonist or inverse agonist to the subject are disclosed.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for indoor localization. A self-driving vehicle may detect a first fiducial marker located at a first location within a building, wherein the first fiducial marker comprises first fiducial marker information associated with the first location. The self-driving vehicle may retrieve the first fiducial marker information from the first fiducial marker. The self-driving vehicle may generate localization information of the self-driving vehicle based on the first fiducial marker information. The self-driving vehicle may utilize the localization information to transition to a second location within the building, wherein the second location comprises a second fiducial marker.

Abstract: Facilitating conversations among people within physical spaces is described. An interaction tablet can be housed within a physical space and configured to receive profile information from mobile devices of customers. The profile information can indicate conversational topics that customers are interested in within the physical space. Similarities between conversational topics of customers can be determined and those customers can be recommended to engage in a conversation regarding that conversational topic. One customer can also be provided information regarding what another customer prefers to purchase from the physical space and, therefore, use the purchase to facilitate a conversation to create a more engaging environment within the physical space.

Abstract: Facilitating connections between a customer and an employee of a business is described. Once the customer is within a proximity of a business, the customer can choose to interact with an employee of the business. The customer can select a product or section of the business and post a request or question. In response, an employee with expertise in the subject matter of the request or the question, can chose to respond to the customer. Thus, the customer can get help prior to entering the store. In addition, the customer can request the employee to facilitate the purchase of a product via the system described herein and leave the product in a pick-up area. After the interaction is complete, the customer can reopen the conversation at a later time with the same employee. As such, the system enables better customer engagement, a better buying experience, and a better post-purchase experience.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a differential strobe input squelch circuit includes a squelch sub-circuit that is configured to perform operations including receiving a true strobe signal, a complement strobe signal, and a strobe difference signal that is representative of a difference between the true strobe signal and the complement strobe signal; determining, based on the true strobe signal and the complement strobe signal, whether the strobe difference signal is defined or undefined; and outputting a modified strobe difference signal that is equal to the strobe difference signal when the squelch sub-circuit determines that the strobe difference signal is defined and that is instead equal to a constant strobe-level voltage when the squelch sub-circuit determines that the strobe difference signal is undefined.

Abstract: A substrate dry cleaning apparatus, a substrate dry cleaning system, and a method of cleaning a substrate are disclosed. The substrate dry cleaning system includes a substrate support and a reactive species generator. The reactive species generator includes a first conduit defining a first flow channel that extends to an outlet of the first conduit, the outlet of the first conduit facing the substrate support, a first electrode, a second electrode facing the first electrode, the first flow channel disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, a first inert wall disposed between the first electrode and the first flow channel, and a second inert wall disposed between the second electrode and the first flow channel.

Abstract: A foldable diving platform for attachment to a wakeboard tower. The platform includes a base section affixable to tubing of the wakeboard tower and a folding section hinged to the based section. The folding section may be rotated about the hinge to enable storage atop the base section or full deployment collinear and coplanar with the base section.

Abstract: Embodiments of a feedback system can have sensors for sensing movement and other characteristics of user devices, analyze the sensor data for a user device to determine a current behavior of a user, and determine a characteristic of a presentation that can vary as a function of that behavior. For example, where the presentation is a website, if an analyzing program determines from the sensor data that a user is in a relatively inactive state, the website might be presented with full interactivity, whereas if the analyzing program determines from the sensor data that a user is busy with an activity, the website might be presented in a more abbreviated form.
