Combination gripping and shearing effector device, systems and methods for both shearing and gripping in tandem with a remotely actuated effector tool used in robotic and remote processing of materials, where the gripping and shearing operate in tandem with one another. In a preferred embodiment, the device can include a pair of gripping jaws, with a pair of separately movable, and integrated shearing jaws within the gripping jaws. Hydraulic actuators can control the gripping jaws to grip material, followed by the shearing jaws shearing the material. The effector devices can be remotely controlled, hydraulically opening and closing the gripper and shear jaws with a single hydraulic control circuit.

A recirculating, animal watering system has an upright reservoir with a tubular sidewall extending between upper and lower end caps. The sidewall has an open mouth nearer the upper end cap. Thus the reservoir below the mouth serves as a water supply pool. A water supply conduit extends vertically from a lower communication port submerged in the water supply pool and at least one fountain discharge outlet arranged in the reservoir above or at the level of the mouth. An air supply line is included and extends between a source of pressurized air and a submerged air injection site into the water supply conduit. Given the foregoing, a small steady stream of air lifts water from the water supply pool, up the water supply conduit by plug or slug flow and out through the at least one fountain discharge outlet to trickle or drizzle back into the water supply pool.

Systems and methods for managing resistance to insecticidal traits and chemicals are provided. In one aspect, systems and methods are provided that: 1) delay the development of resistance to transgenic insecticidal crops and/or chemical insecticides (preemptive strategies), and 2) rescue one or more pests' susceptibility to transgenic insecticidal crops and/or chemical insecticides once pest resistance has developed (responsive strategies).

Systems, methods, and software for providing collection and curation of real-time data and submission to a technical resource upon an indication of an issue in a computing device from an end user. The computing device is monitored and computer usage data and system diagnostic data collected from the device during use by an end user. Upon receiving an indication from the user of an occurrence of an issue, additional information regarding the issue is collected from the end user while additional system diagnostic data about the computing device at a time of occurrence of the issue is collected. The collected information and data are then curated by the computing device in regard to the issue and transmitted to a remote server for access by a technical resource.

Systems, methods, and software for providing a dedicated physical user input device to trigger collection and curation of real-time data and submission to a technical resource. Computer usage data and system diagnostic data from a computing device is monitored and collected during use by an end user. Upon detecting the press of a dedicated physical button connected to the computing device, additional information regarding the issue is collected from the end user while additional system diagnostic data about the computing device at a time of occurrence of the issue is collected. The collected information and data is then curated by the computing device in regard to the issue and transmitted to a remote server for access by a technical resource.

Extended reach sluicer systems, devices, and methods for breaking up and retrieving chemical, radioactive, hazardous materials and/or other waste from storage tanks, with mechanical arms and nozzles which utilize fluid jets to break up and liquefy in-tank material. The invention can work with tanks having additional issues, such as but not limited to high temperature or low temperature conditions. An upper assembly attachable to a tank can control the transverse rotation of a vertical mast and with a lower end pivotally attached to a boom having a nozzle assembly attached to an outer end. The boom can telescopically retract and extend to different length positions by cables and pulleys. Controls with take-up mechanisms can elevate up and down or transverse left and right the nozzle assembly.

The invention relates to the treatment of cancer, and particularly to the treatment of cancers of the central nervous system, such as glioblastoma multiforme. A dual therapeutic approach is provided, including the administration of a dendritic cell-based cancer vaccine and a regimen of chemotherapy. The two therapies may be administered concurrently with one another and/or with an initial vaccination preceding chemotherapy. In various embodiments, the dendritic cell-based cancer vaccine includes either primed or unprimed dendritic cells; for instance, the dendritic cells may be autologous tumor antigen-presented dendritic cells. The dual therapeutic approach of the instant invention beneficially influences the chemosensitivity of a mammal with cancer.

The invention relates to compositions, methods and kits for the treatment of cancer. ATP-dependent potassium channel agonists, salts thereof, or chemical analogs thereof, for example, minoxidil sulfate, have been found to possess anti-neoplastic properties. Administering minoxidil sulfate may prolong the life of a cancer patient; for example, a patient with a brain tumor.

Use of minoxidil sulfate as an anti-tumor drug

A door for use in a vehicle and including an interior panel portion having an outer boundary facing toward an interior portion of the vehicle and including an opening. An insert positioned within at least a portion of the opening.
