Abstract: Systems and methods for crediting a profile for a musical work through authentication of a credit is provided. The system comprises a processor in communication with a database. The processor receives a selection of a credit for a musical work to be attributed to an invited profile from an authorized administrator for the musical work, or a request for a credit from an administrator of a profile. The processor updates the database to include the credit as a pending credit, and generates an electronic credit invitation or a credit request including the pending credit. The credit invitation or credit request is transmitted to the invited profile administrator or the musical work administrator, respectively. The processor determines whether the invited profile administrator or the musical work administrator authorizes the pending credit and updates a status of the pending credit in the database based on the determination.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing a crypto-currency balance ledger stored on a device with data from the associated public crypto-currency block chain. The method comprises receiving from the public block chain data related to incoming transactions as limited to unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), receiving from the public block chain data related to outgoing transactions that are conducted within a predetermined time frame as determined by a user, and determining whether the data received matches a current balance ledger as stored on the device; and if a match is not indicated updating the current balance ledger to generate an updated balance ledger.

Abstract: Systems, methods and machines related to conducting a crypto-currency transaction. A method comprises creating a full block chain representing a plurality of past crypto-currency transactions, forwarding the full block chain to a first processing component for use in executing a new crypto-currency transaction, the first processing component forwarding an original local block chain to a second processing component, the second processing component executing the transaction and generating an updated local block chain with details related to the transaction, and forwarding the updated local block chain to the first processing component.

Abstract: Generating a dynamic secure token. The present invention showcases the local generation of a dynamic secure token that may have several predefined restrictions and/or attributes which can be easily verified by the recipient processing server, system, or device. In addition, the present invention can provide a secure token for any type of sensitive information that a user may desire to store on a device and securely verify/validate with another party, server, system, or device without disclosing the original sensitive information during the transmission of the secure token.

Abstract: A corrosion sensor includes an insulating substrate, a thin film of a first metallic material formed on the substrate; and an array of areas what includes a second metallic material provided at the surface of the thin film. A method for manufacturing such a sensor is also disclosed. An exemplary embodiment is disclosed in which the thin film is patterned to define a number of tracks, the resistance of which can be monitored in order to determine the degree to which the thin film has corroded.

Abstract: A motor car (10) has windows (28, 49) which can have a first H1 fully closed position and a lower H2 position in which water tightness is still provided but opening of a frameless window assembly/door assembly can be achieved more quickly from the point in time in which the door handle 44, 46) is operated. The Hi position may be selected as the vehicle accelerates above a given speed and the H2 position may be selected when the vehicle door is closed, and the window may also have a short-drop H3 lower re-spool H4 position or in the case of a rear window a three quarter lowered H5 position.

Abstract: A window assembly (118) comprises: a window regulator (144) for driving a main window (124) up and down, a connection system (196) with a latch (198), a division bar (122), and quarter-light window (206) which may be driven down by the regulator (144) to a controlled index position at which the latch (198) disengages such that the quarter-light may be left in a slightly lowered index position while the main window may be further lowered, the latch reengaging once the main window is raised again, the raising and lowering of the quarter-light window (120) enabling the quarter-light to securely engage with a seal (246) positioned between its top edge (204) and an A-pillar (106) of the vehicle (100) and also allowing a door to which the assembly to be opened and closed without interference between the quarter-light and the seal (246).

Abstract: A gearbox assembly for a gyratory crusher and/or cone crusher, which includes a drive shaft having a rotational movement, and a drive shaft gear attached to a distal end of the drive shaft. The drive shaft gear imparts a rotational movement of the drive shaft to a first gearing assembly, the first gearing assembly imparting a second rotational movement to a second gearing assembly, the second gearing assembly imparting a third rotational movement of the second gearing assembly to drive a ring gear, and wherein the ring gear is attached to and rotates an eccentric assembly of the gyratory crusher and/or cone crusher. The cone crusher is preferably configured to crush rock, stone, ore or minerals. A method of making or retrofitting a crushing device such as, for example, a cone crusher or other gyratory crusher, is also provided.

Abstract: Cell suicide (apoptosis) is associated with pathogenesis, for example, it is the major cause for the loss of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. Caspase-3 is critically involved in the pathway of apoptosis. Superantibody (SAT)-trans-membrane technology has been used to produce antibodies against the caspase enzyme in an effort to inhibit apoptosis in living cells. The advantage of using trans-membrane antibodies as apoptosis inhibitors is their specific target recognition in the cell and their lower toxicity compared to conventional apoptosis inhibitors. It is shown that a MTS-transport-peptide modified monoclonal anti-caspase-3 antibody reduces actinomycin D-induced apoptosis and cleavage of spectrin in living cells. These results indicate that antibodies conjugated to a membrane transporter peptide have a therapeutic potential to inhibit apoptosis in a variety of diseases.
