摘要:
An electronic backgammon game is disclosed. A memory stores m unique sets of dice rolls, each of the m sets of dice rolls includes n sequential rolls and defines a unique game to be played. A game select input is provided for enabling a player to select a desired one of the m sets of dice rolls and thereby to select a unique game to be played. A human actuatable dice roll switch controls the operation of the game. Each time the dice roll switch is reactivated, the next sequential roll in the selected set of dice rolls is displayed on a display board.

An automated system and method for conducting a usability test. The system conducts the usability test and records events that occur on the computer screen in sync with both the video and audio of the user and creates a complete chronicle of events that occur behind the scenes in the applications and the operating system. The system, depending upon the settings specified in the configuration, also captures other input streams and then saves the complete recording of the usability test, along with all the desired events and captures, in a file format. The system allows a remote viewer to observe, in real time, the recording of the usability test and to set markers at critical moments during the recording which are to be recorded. The system also allows the manager or administrator to configure the preferences, import and analyze the usability test and recording files, and prepare presentation videos of the usability test based upon the analyzed criteria.

Methods and systems for managing a distributed and dynamic review of a set of information are described. A set of information instances (e.g., case summaries) are distributed over a computer system network to reviewer nodes. A list of review items (e.g., problem types) against which the information instances are to be reviewed are also distributed over the computer system network to the reviewer nodes. An updated list of review items is distributed over the computer system network to the reviewer nodes each time a change to the list of review items is received from any of the reviewer nodes.

A ring positioning device has positioning elements radially adjustable on a support to fit different diameter cylinder bores. The positioning elements slide in channels in the support and are clamped to the support by knobs that have threaded shafts that slide in slots through the support and are threaded into the positioning elements to clamp them to the support. The positioning elements have protrusions or shoulders that engage the cylinder block deck and lower abutment surfaces that position piston rings in the cylinder bore. A second embodiment uses pivoted arms to adjust for different cylinder bore size with threaded rods on the arms to adjust for different depth ring placement.

The present invention relates to a synthetic plant-optimized nucleic acid molecule having a Norwalk virus capsid protein coding nucleotide sequence, and nucleic acid constructs, host cells, expression systems, and plants having the plant-optimized Norwalk virus nucleic acid molecule. The present invention also relates to a method of producing Norwalk virus capsid protein virus-like particles in a transgenic plant or transgenic plant seed transformed with a plant-optimized nucleic acid molecule encoding Norwalk virus capsid protein. The plant or a component thereof can be administered to a subject under conditions effective to immunize the subject against disease resulting from infection by a Norovirus, including Norwalk virus. An oral vaccine for immunization of a subject against Norwalk virus infection is also disclosed.
