Abstract: The present invention provides nucleic acids sequences, viral particles, viruses, vectors systems, host cells, kits, apparatus, and methods of evolution of a gene product of a gene of interest. The nucleic acid sequences of the invention have been developed primarily for use in evolution of biomolecules of interest. Using a split, non-competent viral vector, the gene of interest can be stably and recombinantly integrated into the viral vector via in-frame insertion of the open reading frame of the gene of interest with an aspect of the native but attenuated viral genome. This configuration of the viral genome, leveraging a split viral vector and an aspect of a viral factor that has been shown to robustly interact with the split viral vector, enables the serial passaging of the recombinant viral particle in an indel and recombination-averse manner.

Abstract: An electronic lock, such as a deadbolt, with a locking device movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lock includes a key fob including a RFID circuit indicative of a valid access code for the locking device. A circuit is provided that is configured to control movement of the locking device between the locked position and the unlocked position. The circuit includes a sensor, such as a contract sensor or a proximity sensor, which detects when a user is within range of a RFID device. When this happens, the sensor is configured to generate an electrical signal, which is used to activate the RFID device for a predetermined period of time. If the RFID device reads a valid access code, the device is unlocked.

Abstract: A water evacuation system includes a sill providing a dam that defines one or more drain ports, an accumulation chamber defined within the interior of the sill and in fluid communication with the dam via the one or more drain ports, and one or more discharge ports defined in a front face of the sill and in fluid communication with the accumulation chamber. An internal ramp is arranged within the accumulation chamber and includes an angled upper surface directed toward the one or more discharge ports to urge water to the discharge ports. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, a pump is in fluid communication with the sill and a float switch is secured to the sill to send a signal to operate the pump when water accumulating in the sill reaches a predetermined level for evacuation.

Abstract: The present invention relates an electro-active polymeric ionic liquid including imidazolium-based molecules, said imidazolium-based molecule comprising each at least: —one imidazolium moiety associated with a negatively-charged counter-ion, and —one reducible group selected from: Formula (IV), —an anthraquinone derivative of formula (IV): with R1 representing a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6-alkyl group, —a viologen group, and —a metallocene reducible group such as a cobaltocene group.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for a voice-centric virtual or soft keyboard (or keypad). Unlike other keyboards, embodiments of the present disclosure prioritize the voice keyboard, meanwhile providing users with a quick and uniform navigation to other keyboards (e.g., alphabet, punctuations, symbols, emoji's, etc.). In addition, in embodiments, common actions, such as delete and return are also easily accessible. In embodiments, the keyboard is also configurable to allow a user to organize buttons according to their desired use and layout. Embodiments of such a keyboard provide a voice-centric, seamless, and powerful interface experience for users.
