Abstract:
The invention provides peptides that are chemically modified by covalent attachment of a water-soluble oligomer. A conjugate of the invention, when administered by any of a number of administration routes, exhibits characteristics that are different from the characteristics of the peptide not attached to the water-soluble oligomer.

Abstract:
Applications in a broadcast environment distribute events in real-time to a large number of receivers within specified geographic locations while efficiently sharing bandwidth resources with other applications using the same broadcast network. Applications need not be aware of the other applications sharing the resources, nor of the methods, protocols, and other mechanisms used to actually broadcast the data over the broadcast medium. Server-side applications that serve data, send notifications, or distribute events to specific locations within the network use a broadcast location manager. Client applications that receive such data, notifications, or events use a client location filter to obtain events that are relevant based on the location of the device. The broadcast location manager and client location filter work together to reliably and efficiently transmit data, notifications, and events to specific locations over the broadcast network for all applications involved.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a skin-removing method for root and tuber crops by using a skin-removing device which comprises a pedestal; a rotary drum rotatably fitted on the pedestal and having an inlet and a outlet; a helical screw feeder provided in the rotary drum and fixedly connected with the inner wall of the rotary drum; and a driving unit for driving the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder to rotate together, wherein the method includes feeding raw material of root and tuber crops into the rotary drum via the inlet, allowing the driving unit to drive the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder to rotate together. In the method according to the present invention, raw material of root and tuber crops is fed into the rotary drum via the inlet, and the driving unit drives the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder to rotate together. Under push action of the helical screw feeder, the raw material is continuously moved forward, and at the same time the raw material rotates along with the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder. During rotation, friction is generated not only among the raw material, but also between the raw material and the rotary drum wall and the helical screw feeder, so as to remove the skin of the raw material without damaging the flesh of root and tuber crops, such that the loss of raw material is low.
Abstract:
The invention provides a data duplication method for duplicating data from an original data storage device to a target data storage device, comprising steps of: receiving a duplication instruction that comprises a piece of identification information of the data to be duplicated and a piece of identification information of the target storage device; according to the duplication instruction, transmitting the data to be duplicated to the target storage device directly. With the method and device of the invention, it is possible to transfer data between two mobile storage devices, without a control device as a relay for the data transfer, so as to ensure data -sharing function of mobile storage devices while ensuring the mobility thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an object-based method and apparatus for management of real-time information. Said method includes the steps of obtaining an identification information of an object, said identification information including identity information of said object and the relevant information of an event of said object; receiving a real-time information, said real time information being associated with said event of said object; and labeling said real-time information according to said identification information. By means of the present invention, real-time information can be labeled according to object identification information, so not only the real-time information storage space is effectively saved, but the user's time for subsequently searching and editing the stored real-time information can also be saved.
Abstract:
A system, apparatus, and method for transmitting data in a broadcast mode to multiple devices operating in a network. The invention enables the efficient utilization of bandwidth while providing a desired level of quality of service for the applications executing on the devices that utilize the broadcasted data. The invention utilizes a set of bandwidth constraints in combination with a set of heuristics and rules for the allocation and re-allocation of bandwidth among multiple applications in a manner that minimizes the impact on the quality of service metrics of importance to the affected applications when contention exists for the network resources. The present invention implements processes to cause the quality of service provided to each application to degrade smoothly, with certain priorities and guarantees being maintained. The present invention also provides event segmentation and reassembly functions for applications, and includes reliability mechanisms to increase the ability to provide data to client devices that have not been actively receiving for significant periods of time.

Abstract:
A datacast system, and associated apparatus and method for automatically managing a data object or objects within a hierarchical carousel structure by enabling, among other functions, the dynamic allocation of bandwidth to each carousel within the structure. The dynamic bandwidth allocation enables a server platform to redistribute the bandwidth allocated to a carousel or set of data objects to adjust to desired changes in object transmission policies or priorities of a datacast application.
