Abstract: A push-pass technique system in accordance with the present invention for training soccer players having a curved track, raised on each end by graduating ramps, upon which moves a rolling base plate secured by four wheels on each side to the track. A foot pedal is attached to the rolling base plate. The foot pedal glides back and forth upon the horizontal plane and moves length-wise across the plane to a pre-determined length following the curvature of the ramp. The foot pedal will guide the player's foot into the proper horizontal position while training the player to execute the proper push-pass soccer technique and gain muscle memory.

Abstract: Cargo presence detection devices, systems, and methods are described herein. One cargo presence detection system includes one or more sensors positioned in an interior space of a container, and arranged to collect background image data about at least a portion of the interior space of the container and updated image data about the portion of the interior space of the container and a detection component that receives the image data from the one or more sensors and identifies if one or more cargo items are present in the interior space of the container based on analysis of the background and updated image data.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for diagnosing, monitoring, or treating cancers. Genes encoding transmembrane proteins that are over-expressed in colon, lung, breast, prostate, liver, stomach, esophagus, or kidney cancer tissues are identified. These transmembrane genes can be used as biological markers for the detection or diagnosis of cancers. These genes can also serve as targets for cancer therapeutics. In addition, these genes can also be used for screening for anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract: A computer hardware system for editing a video signal includes, a first signal bus employing a first bus interface, and a second signal bus employing a second bus interface and adapted to carry at least one video signal. The system desirably further includes a general purpose computer connected to the first bus and operating according to a first operating system; and a video graphics computer connected to the first signal bus and the second signal bus. The video graphics computer operates according to a second operating system. The video graphics computer is adapted for editing the video signal transmitted along the second signal bus according to commands from the general purpose computer.
