Abstract: A simulation module is embedded in a popular video game which simulates the functioning and use of one or more new subsystems. The game is chosen to be one which would possibly implement one of these subsystems in the course of the game. One such new subsystem may be a mobile payment system in which a user can pay for items using his/her smartphone.  The simulation module may show a simulated mobile phone and allow the user to operate the simulated smartphone to buy items within the video game, using credits accumulated while playing the video game. The user's operation of the simulation module is monitored by a monitoring module and processed by an analysis module. This may alter the difficulty level of the game or activate or deactivate various simulations of subsystems.

Title: Methods and devices for detection of resistance to an enzyme inhibitor
Inventor: XINGXIANG LI
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 2015-04-13
Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to assay methods and kits for detecting resistance of any enzyme to its inhibitor due to functional alteration of the enzyme, comprising, conducting two or more reactions with two or more reagent mixes optionally containing substrates for the enzyme. The mixes are substantially similar, except that one contains no enzyme inhibitor whereas the others contain an enzyme inhibitor being tested for resistance. The ratio of the signal from the reaction with an inhibitor to that from a reaction without an inhibitor is used to indicate whether the enzyme is resistant to the enzyme inhibitor and also determine the susceptibility or resistance of the enzyme to various inhibitors and further identify enzyme variants. Embodiments further relate to assay methods comprising only two reactions- one conducted in a mix containing the inhibitor and the other without the inhibitor. Further included are devices for conducting such assays.

Abstract: Methods for providing human or humanized tissues and organs suitable for transplant are disclosed herein. Gene editing of a host animal provides a niche for complementation of the missing genetic information by donor stem cells. Editing of a host genome to knock out or disrupt genes responsible for the growth and/or differentiation of a target organ and injecting that animal at an embryo stage with donor stem cells to complement the missing genetic information for the growth and development of the organ. The result is a chimeric animal in which the complemented tissue (human/humanized organ) matches the genotype and phenotype of the donor. As disclosed herein, it is possible to do so by simultaneously editing multiple genes in a cell or embryo creating a "niche" for the complemented tissue. Multiple genes can be targeted for editing using targeted nucleases and homology directed repair (HDR) templates in vertebrate cells or embryos.
