Abstract:
A health care system capable of altering the schedule appropriately depending on the physical condition of a user, a biological information terminal, a schedule managing method, and a schedule managing program. Physical condition information is detected or an action is instructed based on first schedule information, and based on the detection results of physical condition information or the result of an action instruction, information of schedule to be executed is altered from the first information to second schedule information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for accessing a server of a computer system. The method includes the steps of providing a startup CONFIG file or database table for use during initialization of the server and a predetermined user identifier within the startup CONFIG file or database table. The method further includes the steps of a user requesting access to the server, the user providing the predetermined user identifier and the server logging the user into the server under the predetermined user identifier without requiring a password.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the use of ADNF polypeptides in the treatment of neurotoxicity induced by chemical agents or by disease processes. The ADNF polypeptides include ADNF I and ADNF III (also referred to as ADNP) polypeptides, analogs, subsequences such as NAP and SAL, and D-amino acid versions (either wholly D-amino acid peptides or mixed D- and L-amino acid peptides), and combinations thereof which contain their respective active core sites.
Abstract:
A method for receiving periodic transmissions of a segmented communication is disclosed. The segmented communication is received and each segment of the segmented communication is examined to determine if the segment is valid. Valid segments are stored, while invalid segments are discarded. Next, it is computed when the invalid segments will be retransmitted. A subsequent transmission of the communication is received and a retransmission of a previously identified invalid segment is extracted, the retransmitted segment being located based on the computation. The retransmitted segment is examined to determine if it is valid.
Abstract:
A method of suppressing or curbing appetite and treating or preventing obesity comprising administering to a human or other mammal in need of such treatment an effective amount of plant material derived or derivable from plants of the genera Stapelia and Orbea.
Abstract:
The invention applies the economies of scale to data processing and provides automated methods of collecting, categorizing, indexing, storing and retrieving large amounts of data from a wide variety of sources. The invention discloses the use of location and industry templates to categorize documents and other data objects. Location and industry data for each document is translated into a set of assignment numerals that are used to create a header number. Each document or data object is indexed and stored in a data warehouse in accordance with the header number. Subsequently, documents and data objects are retrieved from the data warehouse using the index of header numbers and the location and industry templates.
Abstract:
A wireless hybrid time division multiple access/code division multiple access (TDMA/CDMA) user equipment (UE) includes a signaling receiver and a data detection device in communication with the signaling receiver. The signaling receiver is configured to receive and recover signaled information of code and timeslot assignments of the UE to support an RF communication. The data detection device is configured to recover from the signaling information an identifier of a plurality of assigned timeslots and an indication of a first and last code of a set of consecutive codes. The last code is identified by an identifier associated with the last code, and the same set of consecutive codes are assigned to each of the plurality of assigned timeslots.
Abstract:
A pair of airfoil blades having a longitudinal axis coincident with one another. Each blade is bent at the center on the plane of the chord. Each blade has an airfoil tip blade placed at the outer most trailing edge. The blades are affixed by their root ends to opposite ends of a torsion shaft. The blade chords are offset from one another, which defines a blade pitch angle. The torsion shaft is journaled perpendicular through a driveshaft, whereas the rotation of the blades can transfer through the torsion shaft to the driveshaft and cause the driveshaft to turn, eliminating the need for a hub. The blades are adapted to pivot along with the torsion shaft. The blades lie in substantially the same plane, and are adapted for rotation in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the driveshaft. Each blade has an airfoil shaped fluid gate valve disposed on the leading edge.
Abstract:
A ball ratchet mechanism suitable for use with an electrical disconnect employs a track and drive surface that engage the ball so as to capture it without significant shear force being applied to ridges of the track. In this way, the shape of the track can be optimized for smooth ratcheting action without the risk of high torques shearing track ridges.
Abstract:
A wireless digital communication system includes a base station in communication with a plurality of user equipment mobile terminals (UEs). The system prioritizes the forwarding of blocks of downlink data to designated ones of the UEs. The system employs adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C) to achieve improved radio resource utilization and provides optimum data rates for user services. Blocks of downlink (DL) data are received by the base station which requests downlink (DL) channel quality measurements only from those mobile terminals (UEs) with pending downlink transmissions. The UEs respond to the request by measuring and reporting DL channel quality to the base station, which then allocates resources such that the UEs will make best use of radio resources. The base station notifies the UEs of the physical channel allocation indicating the modulation/coding rate and allocated slots followed by transmission of blocks of downlink data which are transmitted to the UEs.
