Abstract: A seating system includes a base extending from a lower end to an upper end, a lower body support coupled to the base proximate the upper end of the base, a mount extending from a lower end to an upper end, and an upper body support rotatably mounted to the mount proximate the upper end of the mount. The upper body support is shaped to receive an upper body of the user and has at least three profiles. The upper body support is rotatable between a plurality of positions, each position in the plurality of positions corresponding to one of the at least three profiles of the upper body support.

Abstract: A system and method provide an enhanced listening experience for a user of a radio receiver or other device that receives broadcast or streamed content having a plurality of program channels. The method and system buffer designated channels at the receiver and, when switching among channels, play back the buffered designated channels during reception from a selected point therein depending on the channel or other criteria. When switching to a different channel during reception, a user is able to hear content in a buffered program channel with music from the start of a song, for example, whereas content in a channel with news, talk radio, or live sports is played back from live reception, even though the content segments are transmitted at different start times relative to their selected times for playback following a channel change. User controls allow navigation among buffered designated channels during reception.

Abstract: A method for generating a subject avatar using a mobile phone scan is provided. The method includes receiving, from a mobile device, multiple images of a first subject, extracting multiple image features from the images of the first subject based on a set of learnable weights, inferring a three-dimensional model of the first subject from the image features and an existing three-dimensional model of a second subject, animating the three-dimensional model of the first subject based on an immersive reality application running on a headset used by a viewer, and providing, to a display on the headset, an image of the three-dimensional model of the first subject. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method, are also provided.

Abstract: The present description provides improved methods for generating thymic epithelial progenitor (TEP) cells from pluripotent stem (PS) cells in vitro. Also provided are isolated invitro cell populations, compositions, and systems comprising TEP cells produced in vitro. Compositions and systems of cell populations of thymic epithelial cells and subpopulations thereof, as well as cells formed during different stages of differentiation of PS cells into thymic epithelial cells and subpopulations thereof are provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for a crank handle of a landing gear. The crank handle comprising an assembly with a rotating arm, a mounting end, a handle arm, and a handle grip. The handle grip mounted to the handle arm. The handle grip rotatable about the handle arm at a handle end of the crank handle assembly.

Abstract: A frame for a beehive includes: a pair of opposite frame sidewalls extending across a width dimension of the frame, the frame having a length dimension extending between the opposite frame sidewalls; and a plurality of fixed first sections and a plurality of movable second sections laterally stacked between the frame sidewalls and configured for supporting a honeycomb. The first and second sections are oriented parallel with the frame sidewalls and alternately arranged along the length of the frame. Further, the second sections are laterally slidable relative to the first sections between an open position for release of honey from the honeycomb and a closed position for storage of honey.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are provided to alert a user of content delivered on multiple channels to events of interest occurring on channels other than the channel being listened to or viewed. Playback of content in which an event of interest or key event has occurred is time-shifted or delayed at the content transmission source or at the user device. Metadata that identifies events of interest in the content is transmitted to the user device. The user device generates alerts to the user based on the metadata in sufficient lead time to enable the user to not only tune to a channel on which an event of interest is occurring, but to do so sufficiently in advance of an event of interest so as to hear and/or see relevant portions of the content leading up to and/or following such an event.

Abstract: An artificial honeycomb for use in a beehive and which enables honey to be removed froth the honey-comb without removing the honeycomb from the hive; the honeycomb comprising cells and being formed of at least two parts which are moveable relative to each other between a cell formed position where the cells comprise side walls and an end wall to enable bees to fill the cell with honey, and a cell open position where at least some of the said walls have moved apart, whereby honey in the cells can be removed from the honeycomb by movement of the at least two parts to the cell open position.

Abstract: Methods for generating thymic epithelial progenitor (TEP) cells from pluripotent stem (PS) cells in vitro are provided. Compositions and systems of cell populations of TEP cells as well as cells formed during different stages of differentiation of PS cells into TEP cells are also disclosed. The methods, isolated in vitro cell populations, compositions, and systems disclosed provide functional TEP cells that mature into thymic epithelial cells in vivo.
