Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds, and prodrugs thereof, composition and methods useful for preventing and treating thrombotic conditions in mammals. The compounds of the present invention, and prodrugs thereof, selectively inhibit certain proteases of the coagulation cascade.
Abstract:
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for maintaining an electrical network model describing an electrical network. A fault detection, fault isolation, and load restoration (FDIR) component, a voltage/var control (VVC) component, and/or other components may be provided with access to the electrical network model so that the components may have access to relatively up- to-date and/or accurate information describing the electrical network when executing functionality for the electrical network. For example, the FDIR component and the VVC component may be synchronized based upon the electrical network model so that the FDIR component may have notice of network changes by the VCC component, and/or the VCC component have may have notice of network changes by the FDIR component.
Abstract:
A method for real name subscription based on self-service terminal and self-service terminal thereof is provided in the present invention. The method includes: reading identity information of a user; reading biologic character data of the user; determining the identity information valid according to the identity information and the biologic character data; obtaining the number selected by the user and the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card data; sending the identity information, the number and the SIM card data to the Business Support System (BSS) so that BSS establishes an account for the user according to the identity information and binds the number and the SIM card data to the account. The self-service terminal includes: an electronic identity card reader; a biologic character reading module; a determination module; a first obtaining module; a second obtaining module and a first sending module. The method for real name subscription based on self-service terminal and self-service terminal thereof provided in the embodiment of the present invention can verify the user identity and provide the real name subscription service for the user according to the identity information and the biologic character data of the user.
Abstract:
An antenna is presented having a flared structure wherein charge is induced from one portion of the structure to another. The flared structure may be a V-shaped or other shaped element. The antenna includes at least one parasitic element to increase the gain of the antenna and extend the radiation pattern generated by the antenna in a given direction.
Abstract:
An access device (20) places a medical article within a body space of a patient. The device has a needle (22) that includes an elongated body (32), a side fenestration (56) on the elongated body, and a needle hub (34). The device further includes a dilator (24) disposed on and slideable along the elongated body of the needle and a medical article (26). The medical article is disposed on and slideable along the dilator. The dilator and the needle form one or more spaces (150) in communication with the side fenestration (56). At least portions of the dilator and the medical article are configured so as to allow visual determination of the presence of a bodily fluid within the space. The outer surface of the needle and the inner surface of the dilator can include a surfactant. Further, at least one of the needle and dilator can further comprise a vent in communication with the space that allows for the escape of air from the space and inhibits the escape of the bodily fluid from the space.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for determining whether a human immunodeficiency virus is likely to be have enhanced ability to enter a cell expressing CD4 and CXCR4 relative to a reference HIV. In certain aspects, the methods comprise detecting one or more amino acid in an envelope protein of the HIV associated with enhanced ability to enter CD4- and CXCR4-expressing cells and determining that the HIVs ability to enter such cells is enhanced relative to a reference HIV, e.g., an HIV that does not comprise such amino acid(s).

Abstract:
An apparatus for providing protection from blast and ballistic energy is provided. The apparatus includes a liquid storage mechanism containing a liquid and a rigid layer internal to the liquid storage mechanism. The apparatus also includes a pressure release mechanism configured to allow the liquid to exit the liquid storage mechanism when a pressure sufficient to open or activate the pressure release mechanism contacts the liquid storage mechanism and presses the liquid storage mechanism against the rigid layer.
Abstract:
A query pipeline is created (514) from a query request. The query pipeline includes multiple query operations including multiple query operators. A first query operator and a second query operator perform first and second query operations on a database (526) and on data outside the database (534). A result from the first query operation in the query pipeline is fed to the second query operation in the query pipeline.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, wherein the substituents are as defined herein, compositions containing such compounds and the uses of such compounds for the treatment of various diseases and conditions such as asthma.
