Abstract: A collapsible cargo organizer is provided, comprising: a rotatable panel; a supporting base comprising a floor plate; wherein the rotatable panel is rotatable from a horizontal position to a vertical position and vice-versa; wherein, when the rotatable panel is in the vertical position, the rotatable panel provides a vertical panel to laterally support at least one article placeable in an article containing space of the collapsible cargo organizer which overlies the floor plate of the supporting base; and wherein the floor plate of the supporting base overlied by the article containing space when the rotatable panel is in the vertical position is covered by the rotatable panel when the rotatable panel is in the horizontal position.

Abstract: This disclosure provides, in one aspect, dosing strategies for soluble ?-glucan immunotherapy to optimize acute immunopharmacodynamic responses for the immunotherapy and/or subject. It also provides a method for analyzing a sample from a subject for a biomarker to identify the appropriate dosing strategy for soluble ?-glucan immunotherapy. Generally, the method includes obtaining a biological sample from a subject, analyzing the sample for a biomarker anti-?-glucan antibody level or immunopharmacodynamic response level, classifying the subject into a subgroup based on the biomarker anti-?-glucan antibody level or immunopharmacodynamic response level and identifying the appropriate dosing strategy based on the subgroup classification.

Abstract: The concentrated and dilute saline water distribution systems of Electro Dialysis Reversal EDR or Capacitive Electro Dialysis Reversal CEDR are modified by feeding and retrieving the saline water to and from multiple spacers in an electrodialysis stack such that (1) the saline water enters and leaves the spacers in the plane of the thin spacers rather than traditionally perpendicular to them and (2) the saline waters are independently fed and retrieved to and from the spacers through long and small cross-sectional area tubes such that the electrical resistance to ion flow is very high relative to the electrical resistance to ion flow through the electrodialysis stack containing the cation and anion exchange membranes and dilute and concentrated saline water spacers.

Abstract: This Capacitive Electro Dialysis Reversal (CEDR) invention desalinates and concentrates saline water. The CEDR unit employs two identical parallel oppositely oriented modified Electro Dialysis Reversal EDR constructions that have shared dilute and concentrated saline water channels. The four electrodes of the two identical oppositely oriented parallel EDR like constructions are replaced with four supercapacitor electrodes. Each EDR like construction consists of a stack of ion exchange membranes and spacers plus the supercapacitor electrodes but one cation exchange membrane is trimmed from each of the two stacks of EDR like ion exchange membranes. During a cycle of operation, the supercapacitor electrodes discharge and then charge causing ions to be pulled out of the shared dilute saline water channels and placed in the shared concentrated saline water channels except at the ends where the ions flow in and out of the supercapacitor electrodes.

Abstract: This invention obtains fresh water and only solid waste from input saline water. This result is commonly known as desalination having zero liquid discharge (ZLD). The current common means of ZLD desalination is to use any common desalination process such as distillation, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, etc. followed by brine recovery and crystallization which are both based on evaporation of water processes. This invention provides an alternative to the commonly used brine recovery and crystallization processes to produce only solid waste.

Abstract: An object database system is provided. The system may include a plurality of objects. Each object may include a historical attribute-change information system. At least one parameter of the historical attribute-change information system may be determined relative to a transaction-history-identification level. The transaction-history-identification level may be based at least in part on a plurality of database transaction that occurred within the object database system. The transaction-history-identification level may correspond to a date/time value. Each object in the plurality of objects may be stored in a universal file format. The object database system may also include a cache memory and a disk memory. The object database system may be configured to utilize the cache memory in a targeted method. The targeted method may include explicit memory management of the disk memory.

Abstract: A computing system comprises one or more cores. Each core comprises a processor. In some implementations, each processor is coupled to a communication network among the cores. In some implementations, a switch in each core includes switching circuitry to forward data received over data paths from other cores to the processor and to switches of other cores, and to forward data received from the processor to switches of other cores.

Abstract: An active vehicle roll control system is disclosed in which a roll bar (22) has two halves (22a, 22b) which can be rotated relative to each other by a control unit (26) in order to actively control vehicle roll. The control unit (26) receives signals from lateral accelerometers (29, 30). In order to determine accurately when the vehicle is experiencing zero lateral acceleration, the control unit (26) averages the signal from each accelerometer (29, 30) continuously and uses the average signal as an indication of the straight ahead position. The averaging algorithm defines a window of low lateral accelerations to be used, and a gain to be applied to the acceleration signals, each of which is speed dependent so that the averaging process is not affected by abnormal vehicle movements.
