摘要:
The invention relates to a method for determining the level of Fel d1 expression in a cat, the method comprising: a) typing one or more polymorphic positions of the Fel d1 gene in a sample from the cat; and b) thereby determining the level of Fel d1 expression.

A gravity-fed, animal feeding apparatus is equipped with a funnel, a food chute, and at least one feeding pan. The food chute of the apparatus preferably includes a transport tube configured to extend through a conventional chain-link fence gap via a diamond-shaped fitting, and terminate at the feeding pan disposed on the floor within the fenced pen area. The apparatus is configured to direct dry pet food fed into the funnel disposed on the exterior of the fenced pen area to the feeding pan on the interior of the fence. Gravity causes the food in the funnel to fall into the food chute, passing through the fence, and outputting the food to the feeding pan. The feeding pan is equipped with drainage holes to ensure that the dry food does not get wet, and that water does not collect in the feeding pan.

A system and method for providing enhanced weight alert notification during automated patient management is presented. A plurality of weight measurements in an automated patient environment from a weight monitoring device for a patient during an observation period is remotely obtained. A raw baseline weight for the patient is determined based on a function of the weight measurements. Irregularities in the weight measurements are identified. The raw baseline weight is processed into a baseline weight by application of a correction coefficient to the irregularities. Weight remotely measured in the automated patient environment for the patient on a substantially regular basis is obtained. Changes in the weight are identified by periodic comparison to the baseline weight. An alert notification is generated in response to the change in weight.
摘要:
A method of transferring video data comprises obtaining a stream of video frames from an video capture device and identifying at least one characteristic in at least one frame of the stream of video frames. Lookup data is generated which associates the at least one characteristic with its at least one identified video frame. At least one video frame in the stream of video frames having a given characteristic is determined and notification or at least one of the determined video frames is transmitted to a client. A video transfer system, video processing device and method of image identification are also described.

The invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof: wherein W is Ar, —CR4R5Ar or a group (y) or (y1), wherein Ar is (x) or (z): R1 is C1-4alkyl, C1-3fluoroalkyl or —CH2CH2OH. R2 is C2-6alkyl, C3-6cycloalkyl or —(CH2)n4-C3-6cycloalkyl; and R3 is optionally substituted C3-8cycloalkyl, optionally substituted mono-unsaturated-C5-7cycloalkenyl, an optionally substituted heterocyclic group (aa), (bb) or (cc) (in which Y is O, S, SO2, or NR10), or a bicyclic group (ee): These compounds are PDE4 inhibitors.
摘要:
Material is incrementally deposited using material directed toward a deposition zone. The scan path of the directed material is controlled according to a path plan derived to reduce derivation from an ideal uniform temperature profile for the deposition during the deposition process. A path plan having angled scan passes that intersect (or overcross one another), for example in a mirrorbox path plan, is preferred.
摘要:
A system and method for maintaining provisioned configuration for an endpoint in a packet switched communications network are disclosed, the communications network utilizing a signalling protocol between the endpoint and at least one gatekeeper. The gatekeeper receives a request from the endpoint, determines the addresses of an assigned gatekeeper and at least one alternate gatekeeper, and transmits the addresses to the endpoint within the signalling protocol. The endpoint sends a message to its assigned gatekeeper, and if the assigned gatekeeper is responsive, the endpoint receives an indication confirming that the Gatekeeper is available. If the assigned gatekeeper is unresponsive, the endpoint registers with an alternate gatekeeper, but periodically sends a polling status request to its assigned gatekeeper, so that when the assigned gatekeeper becomes responsive, the endpoint may then register with its assigned gatekeeper.

A method for analyzing test data from nondestructive evaluation of an aircraft includes generating a model of the aircraft with an inspection point. The aircraft is mapped to the model of the aircraft. Then, measurement data is generated by nondestructive testing an area of the aircraft corresponding to the inspection point. The measurement data is stored with associated location data of the inspection point and measurement parameters for comparison. The model of the aircraft with the inspection point is displayed. The measurement test data is displayed for a selected inspection position.
