Abstract: Coating systems for a cooled turbine blade tip, such as a metal turbine blade tip, are provided. The coating system includes an abrasive layer overlying the surface of the turbine blade tip. One or more buffer layers may additionally be disposed between an outer surface of the blade tip and the abrasive layer.

Abstract: A system and method of selecting genes for a gene panel, includes retrieving gene-disease associations of genes associated with diseases at a given level in the disease hierarchy from a disease association database. The disease association database stores disease information, gene information, phenotype information, associations between diseases in the disease hierarchy, gene-disease associations and strength parameters related to the gene-disease associations. For each gene associated with the diseases at the given level, the strength parameters are weighted and combined to determine a rank score for the each gene. The genes are ranked based on the rank scores to provide ranked gene information. The ranked gene information is linked with diseases at the higher levels of the disease hierarchy based on hierarchical relationships. The ranked gene information for gene-disease associations can be used to select genes for a gene panel design.

Abstract: A Universal Serial Bus connector includes a first contact module, a second contact module, a shielding shell enclosing the contact modules, and a grounding member. The contact modules each have a number of contacts and an insulator retaining the contacts. Each contact has a fastening portion assembled in the insulator, a contacting portion extending from the fastening portion, and a tail portion extending from the fastening portion opposite to the contacting portion. The contacts include grounding contacts. The shielding shell provides a front mating face. The grounding member connects with the grounding contacts and extends in different plane compared to the grounding contacts. The grounding member defines a front contact tab and the grounding contact defines a front edge end. The front contact tab is closer to the front mating face of the shielding shell than the front edge ends of the grounding contacts.
