Abstract: A system combining programmable bacteria cells that produce one or more antigens and optionally one or more cytokines and CAR-T cells that recognize and respond to at least one of the antigens to elicit an immune response against tumors and treat hyperproliferative disorders.

Abstract: Assembly for connecting a branch line to a fire-sprinkler head, and for adjusting longitudinal and horizontal position of the sprinkler head. The assembly may include: a first-pipe section, a second-pipe section, and a third-pipe section. First-pipe section has telescoping lower and upper pipes configured to travel axially relative to each other upwardly and downwardly along a longitudinal axis. Second-pipe section has telescoping right, and left pipes configured to travel axially relative to each other along a horizontal axis. Third-pipe section is between first-pipe section and second-pipe section, and is curved. First-pipe section is configured to engage a sprinkler head and permit the sprinkler head to travel longitudinally upon telescopic adjustment of the lower and upper pipes. Second-pipe section attaches to the sprinkler-branch line, and permits the sprinkler head to travel horizontally upon telescopic adjustment of the right and left pipes with respect to each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for positioning a feed finger engageable with a saw blade includes: a first motion system configured to move the feed finger in a first degree of freedom; a second motion system configured to move the feed finger in a second degree of freedom different than the first degree of freedom; and a third motion system configured to move the feed finger in a third degree of freedom different than the first and second degrees of freedom. The third degree of freedom includes linear translational motion in a direction having a non-zero component normal to a plane of the saw blade.

Abstract: This present invention provides a method for increasing oil levels in corn kernel tissue by expression of an HOI001 GBSS allele. The present invention also provides isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a HOI001 GBSS polypeptide.

Abstract: Polynucleotides that encode proteins associated with oil content in plants are useful in constructs to make transgenic plants, e.g., maize or soybean, with desirable oil content phenotype and progeny of any generation derived from the fertile transgenic plants. Markers associated with oil content QTL are useful in breeding for plants with desired oil content.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of plant genetics and biochemistry. More specifically, the invention relates to genes associated with nucleotide triphosphate transport. The present invention provides and includes nucleic acid molecules, proteins, and antibodies associated with the genes involved in nucleotide triphosphate transport. The present invention also provides methods for utilizing such agents, for example, in gene isolation, gene analysis, and the production of transgenic plants. Moreover, the present invention includes transgenic plants modified to express proteins associated with nucleotide triphosphate transport.

Abstract: A method of synthesizing custom semiconductor circuits from an electronically editable datasheet of configurations and specifications for a functional component, by editing the parameters of the datasheet, checking for validity and consistency within said electronically editable datasheet, building a database of desired constraints and configurations, generating a plurality of files containing script, and directives for a targeted design automation software product, and synthesizing a manufacturable netlist to meet the configuration and specification desired by the enduser.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of segmenting a market for a grain by manipulating one or more phenotypic characteristics of the grain. The phenotypic characteristics include oil content, pigmentation potential, iodine value, and linoleic acid content.

Abstract: The invention herein pertains to improved methods and apparatus for electrically coupling components within a digital data system without the use of ribbon cables and other wires. The disclosed coupling device comprises a body member and at least one finger member. The body member physically and electrically couples with components mounted on a circuit board by mating with component pins extending on a solder side of the circuit board. The finger member is conjoined with the body member, and is a flexible, twistable, thin member containing electrically conductive vias coupled which couple the mounted components with an electrical connected located at the distal end of the finger member. The electrical connector at the distal end of the finger member can be a solder pad, a further member body, or other electrically coupling connector device. The finger member is designed to impact cooling air flow less than the disturbances created by conventional component coupling methods and apparatus, e.g.
