Abstract: Provided are a device for a digital assay of targets according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure and a method using the same. The digital assay method of targets according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes acquiring an image for a plurality of microdroplets, predicting at least one region based on the image for the plurality of microdroplets using an artificial neural network-based prediction model configured to segment at least one region among positive microdroplets, negative microdroplets, and atypical microdroplets, with the image for the plurality of microdroplets as an input, determining a number for the plurality of microdroplets based on the at least one region, and providing quantitative data of targets based on the number for the plurality of microdroplets.

Abstract: A compactly packageable sofa includes a seat back, a seat cushion, two arm panels and a zippered flap. In the assembled state of the sofa, the seat cushion and the seat back are held between the arm panels, and the zippered flap is attached to both the seat back and the seat cushion. The seat back does not contact the seat cushion in the assembled state of the sofa. In the compact state of the sofa, the seat back, the seat cushion and the arm panels are not attached to one another. Instead, the arm panels fit inside a compartment under the seat cushion. The flap is not attached to both the seat back and the seat cushion in the compact state of the sofa. In the compact state, the sofa is contained in a packing box whose width is only slightly greater than the depth of the seat cushion.

Abstract: The present application provides: a method for crystallization of an aromatic amino acid, enabling sustainable cycle of ammonia; and aromatic amino acid crystals produced by the method.

Abstract: For each product category offered by an on-line retailer, the most popular or biggest selling products are identified. The on-line retailer competes with a bricks-and-mortar store in the sale of the identified products. A dedicated area is provided within the store. In this area, the store provides, for each identified product, both: 1) a physical purchasable unit of the product, and 2) descriptive information about the product. The descriptive information includes: 1) an identification of the product, 2) an identification of the on-line retailer, 3) a price at which the product is offered on-line by the on-line retailer, and 4) a price at which the product is offered at the store. The customer can use the descriptive information to confirm the prices, and can then purchase a physical unit of the product, and can immediately take the unit from the store without having to wait for, and pay for, shipment.

Abstract: A novel bed frame is assembled by sliding the ends of hollow metal bars into narrow slots cut into other hollow metal bars. A first bar has an L-shaped first slot. A second bar has a U-shaped second slot and L-shaped third slot, both spanning two adjacent sides of the second bar. An end of the first bar is inserted into the U-shaped second slot, whose width is less than twice the thickness of the metal from which the first bar is made. A portion of the L-shaped first slot aligns with a portion of the L-shaped third slot when the first bar slides into the U-shaped second slot. The top of the third bar is inserted into the aligned first and third slots. The first bar is a longitudinal bar, and the second bar is a lateral bar of the bed frame. The third bar is a support leg.

Abstract: A flat pack table comprises a first straight bar, a second straight bar, a first U-shaped bar, a second U-shaped bar, and a rectangular table top. The flat pack table is arrangeable into a compact state in which the first U-shaped bar and second U-shaped bar are nested around the table top and the straight bars. The straight bars, the U-shaped bars, and the table top have an identical width. In the compact state, the table is insertable into a packing box having an inner width no greater than the width of the table components. The flat pack table takes up a packing area within the box that is over ninety percent of the total packing area of the box. After removing the table from the box, the table is assemblable into an end table. Compact packing of the table provides for optimal storing, shipping, and transporting of the table.

Abstract: A bed frame includes legs, bars and wooden slats. Each leg has first and second sides that meet each other at an edge. A first slot is disposed on the first side adjacent to the edge, and a second slot is disposed on the second side adjacent to the edge. Each bar has two wedge inserts. A first wedge on a lateral bar fits into the first slot, and a second wedge on a longitudinal bar fits into the second slot. The lateral bar is perpendicular to the leg while the first wedge is lodged in the first slot, and the longitudinal bar is perpendicular to the leg while the second wedge is lodged in the second slot. The first slot and the second slot are disposed between the lateral bar and the longitudinal bar while the first and second wedge inserts are lodged in the first and second slots.

Abstract: A bed frame assembly has hinged brackets that can be used to attach a headboard to a bed frame. Each hinged bracket has two metal plates that each have metal tongues that are rolled into curved sections. A hinge is formed by sliding a pin through staggered curved sections on opposite metal plates. The metal plates pivotally rotate about the axis of the hinge such that the hinged bracket consumed less volume in a packing box when folded flat. Screws are inserted through slots in each metal plate to secure the hinged bracket to the bed frame. Tongues on a headboard are slid into slots in the metal plates of the hinged brackets in order to attach the headboard to the bed frame.

A first wedge on a lateral bar fits into the first slot, and a second wedge on a longitudinal bar fits into the second slot. The lateral bar is perpendicular to the leg while the first wedge is lodged in the first slot, and the longitudinal bar is perpendicular to the leg while the second wedge is lodged in the second slot. The first slot and the second slot are disposed between the lateral bar and the longitudinal bar while the first and second wedge inserts are lodged in the first and second slots.
