Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for the assembly of a bioluminescent complex from two or more non-luminescent (e.g., substantially non-luminescent) peptide and/or polypeptide units. In particular, bioluminescent activity is conferred upon a non-luminescent polypeptide via structural complementation with another, complementary non-luminescent peptide.

Abstract: An inflator inflates inflatable webs. The inflator includes a web supply holding device that holds a supply of an inflatable web, a first gas moving device having a first inlet for receiving gas and a first outlet for expelling gas, a second gas moving device having a second inlet for receiving gas and a second outlet for expelling gas, and a nozzle. The first outlet is coupled to the second inlet such that gas expelled from the first outlet is received by the second inlet. The nozzle is coupled to the second outlet and inserts gas expelled from the second outlet into the inflatable web to inflate the inflatable web. Parameters of the first and second gas moving devices are selected based on a type of the inflatable web.

Abstract: Systems and methods for online gaming are provided. The systems and methods may include receiving a request, validating a bet and allocating a stake, initiating game logic to define the game's progress and outcomes, loading an initial game grid and randomly positioning symbols within the grid, identifying clusters of symbols and merging them into enhanced symbols, applying modifiers, to the identified enhanced symbols to increase their payout value, communicating the result of the game round to the client, displaying the final arrangement of symbols and any resulting enhanced symbols or clusters to the player, determining when an enhanced symbol forms or grows and notifying the server that the client is ready for the next cascade, clearing the grid of non-contributing symbols and cascading in new symbols to form additional clusters and enhanced symbols, awarding final pays when no new enhanced symbols form or grow, and completing the game round.

Abstract: Enzyme-loaded polymeric nanoparticles for the treatment of disorders such as neurological or non-neurological conditions are described. Using hydrophobic ion pairing, enzymes are loaded into polymeric nanoparticles while retaining enzymatic activity. Surfactants coating the nanoparticle can direct nanoparticles for cellular uptake or for aggregation in the extracellular matrix. Preparing a hydrophobic ion pairing complex for nanoparticle formation.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that automatically classify, segment, and parse content data using artificial intelligence and natural language processing technology, and generate graphical user interfaces that allow end users to dynamically filter content data for display. The systems processes volumes of content data to identify interrogative data, content sources that generated the interrogative data, and subject identifiers relating to the content data. The system generates graphical user interfaces that allow end users to effectively filter the data by choosing between layouts that display one or more of the various categories of data, including the interrogative data, content source identifiers, and/or subject identifiers.

Abstract: A vacuum airlift system for treating an aqueous effluent includes an upflow liquid portion, where the upflow liquid portion is configured to retain a fluid, and a fluid inlet, the fluid inlet being fluidly coupled with the upflow liquid portion, where the fluid inlet is positioned at about a bottom of the upflow liquid portion. The vacuum airlift system can also include a downflow liquid portion, where the downflow liquid portion is fluidly coupled with the upflow liquid portion, and a fluid outlet, the fluid outlet being fluidly coupled with the downflow liquid portion, where the fluid outlet is positioned at about a bottom of the downflow liquid portion. The vacuum airlift system can also include a plurality of aerators fed by one or more fluidic oscillators; the plurality of aerators being coupled to the upflow liquid column.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatus for remote reprogramming of an automotive controller and determining and reporting vehicle carbon emissions using a local device, a client device, a technician device and a system server. The local device is connected to the automotive controller and is wirelessly connected to the client device. The client device is connected to the technician device through a system server. Programming configurations, including firmware, settings, and parameter updates, are selected from a technician device, sent to the system server, and uploaded to local device using J2534 communication protocol. The client device receives the fuel consumption data from the local device and sends the data to the system server. The system server determines the carbon emissions based on the fuel consumption and reports the emissions to a third-party to certify carbon offset.
