International Classification:

H04N 21/478
H04N 21/234

Abstract:

A content generation device (CGD), includes an opaque writing capture device (WCD), and an image capture device (ICD) and a mirror/antireflective pane with 45 degree beamsplitters. The ICD captures image content of a user performing drawing and/or writing on an opaque WCD, when the user is located external to the CGD and in front of the opaque WCD, and the capturing of the image content occurs from within the CGD and behind the opaque WCD. The opaque WCD concurrently captures user generated content corresponding to the drawing and/or writing. The CGD synchronously merges the image content and the user generated content to generate merged content and presents the merged content from within the CGD so that the presented merged content is viewable by the user through the opaque WCD. The CGD communicates the merged content to a multicast network operator for publication via one or more networks.

- Atlanta GA, US

Justin Williams - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

C12N 7/00
A01N 57/16
C12N 15/113

Abstract:

A combined packing and assembly method that efficiently packs ribonucleic acid (RNA) into virus like particles (VLPs) has been developed. The VLPs can spontaneously assemble and load RNA in vivo, efficiently packaging specifically designed RNAs at high densities and with high purity. In some embodiments the RNA is capable of interference activity, or is a precursor of a RNA capable of causing interference activity. Compositions and methods for the efficient expression, production and purification of VLP-RNAs are provided. VLP-RNAs can be used for the storage of RNA for long periods, and provide the ability to deliver RNA in stable form that is readily taken up by cells.

International Classification:

Abstract:

A broad and extensive new category of targets for ribonucleic acids (RNAs) with interference activity (iRNAs), exclusive of the traditional messenger RNA (mRNA) targets have been discovered. iRNAs can be used to manipulate biological processes that do not explicitly involve mRNA and can be directed at non-coding RNAs, such as ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and transfer RNAs (tRNAs). iRNA sequences targeted at ribosomal rRNAs and tRNAs have been designed and tested. iRNA that targets a non-coding RNA is called non-coding interfering RNA (nciRNA). nciRNAs cause degradation of non-coding RNAs in vivo, and are highly active in biological assays. nciRNAs can be used as programmed toxins for specific targeting of eukaryotic pathogens and for protection of plants and structures from insects and weeds.
