  • Patent number: 11234420
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a PD-1 gene-modified humanized animal model. The method utilizes the CRIPSR/Cas9 technique to replace partial fragments of a mouse PD-1 gene with fragments of a human PD-1 gene using homologous recombination by constructing a targeting vector, thereby preparing a gene-modified humanized mouse. This mouse can normally express a PD-1 protein containing the functional domain of the human PD-1 protein, and can be used as an animal model for mechanism research regarding PD-1, PD-L1 and other signals, for screening regulators, and for toxicological research. The method has an important and high application value in studies on functions of the PD-1 gene and in the development of new drugs.

  • Patent number: 11234423
    Abstract: A double brake structure includes a line reel rotatably provided, at least one set of centrifugal pin, a centrifugal brake ring movably provided in the centrifugal brake ring, a centrifugal assembly for making the centrifugal pin be close to an inner wall of the centrifugal brake ring and making the centrifugal pin rotate in the centrifugal brake ring when the line reel is rotating, and for automatically adjusting the kinetic friction force between the centrifugal pin and the inner wall of the centrifugal brake ring according to the speed of the line reel when the centrifugal pin contacts with the inner wall of the centrifugal brake ring, and a magnetic brake mechanism for adjusting the speed of the line reel. The present disclosure is easy to use with stable brake performance, and can achieve the function of automatic compensatory braking.

  • Patent number: 11234424
    Abstract: Line cutters that may be incorporated into other items, such as garments or paddles. A garment that incorporates a line-cutting trim component allows a wearer to easily cut line or cord while fishing or engaging in other activities. The trim component includes a housing with an opening, and a line cutter partially extending into the opening. The trim component can be secured to the garment using a rivet, or sewn onto the garment. In another example, a paddle may incorporate a line cutter as part of a spring clip used to secure together the tubes of a multi-piece paddle.

  • Patent number: 11234427
    Abstract: In some implementations, a server may receive sensor data from a plurality of detectors, including receiving first sensor data from a first detector and second sensor data from a second detector. The server may use the sensor data to retrain a detector-based machine learning algorithm to create an updated detector-based machine learning algorithm. The server may send the updated detector-based machine learning algorithm to the first detector and the second detector. For example, the updated machine learning algorithm may be trained to identify at least one pest that the machine learning algorithm is incapable of identifying.

  • Patent number: 11234428
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may receive a notification from a pest detector. In response, the computing device may initiate execution of a software application and display a user interface. The user interface may enable playback of the notification, such as displaying a photograph of a pest or playing back audio of noise made by the pest. The user interface may display a floor plan of a building along with a location of the pest detector and additional locations of additional pest detectors located in the building superimposed on the floor plan. The user interface may enable selecting a particular building of multiple buildings, a particular floor of multiple floors, or a particular room of multiple rooms. The user interface may display where pests have been detected superimposed on the floor plan.

  • Patent number: 11234429
    Abstract: In some implementations, a pest detector may receive sensor data from a sensor. The pest detector may determine, using a machine learning algorithm, that the sensor data indicates a presence of a first type of pest. The pest detector may send a notification message, including at least a portion of the sensor data, to a computing device and visually indicate that the first type of pest was detected using an indicator. The pest detector may receive an update to the machine learning algorithm from a server and install the update to create an updated machine learning algorithm. The pest detector may receive second sensor data and determine, using the updated machine learning algorithm, that the second sensor data indicates the presence of a second type of pest that is not recognized by the machine learning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11234433
    Abstract: A tree stand is disclosed for use in supporting an occupant in an elevated position in a tree. The tree stand includes: a ladder assembly; a support structure secured to the ladder assembly; a jaw assembly; a strap assembly; and an anchor that is securable to the tree. The jaw assembly includes first and second jaws, and is pivotally secured to the support structure such that the jaws are inwardly movable to close the jaw assembly. The strap assembly includes a first strap that extends from the support structure into contact with the first jaw, and a second strap that extends from the support structure into contact with the second jaw. The strap assembly is connectable to the anchor such that the straps are arranged in overlapping, crosswise relation behind the tree, whereby a tensioning force applied to the strap assembly forces the jaws inwardly towards the tree.

  • Patent number: 11234435
    Abstract: A composition that can solvate biofilms and disrupt bacterial cell walls acts to both kill the bacteria by cell lysis and remove the biofilm. This solvent-containing composition is effective against a broad spectrum of microbes and can be used on a variety of surfaces, both living and inanimate. The polarity of the solvent component of the composition is lower than that of pure water so that the composition exhibits increased efficacy in solvating the macromolecular matrix of a biofilm and in penetrating bacterial cell walls.
