Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for alleviating congestion of data traffic in a wireless network in a cell site. The methods determine congestion levels for respective data connections from mobile computing devices to a network through a cell tower in a cell site. The method further determines a congestion level associated with the cell site based on a weighted aggregate of varying congestion levels associated with the respective data connections in the cell site. The disclosed technology includes flow policies associated with congestion levels. The flow policies determine weights used for determining the weighted aggregate and maximum network bandwidth enforced for the respective data connections. The disclosed technology identifies data connections that consume abnormally high amount of network bandwidth and throttles with bias against data traffic associated with these data connections with heavy traffic.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described herein for managing item storage using rotating platforms. In some examples, an item can be loaded on to a material conveyance device. The item then can be unloaded from the material conveyance device to a rotating platform. The rotating platform can include a sloped surface. Sensor data that identifies the item can be received. A robotic manipulator can be used to manipulate the item based at least in part on the sensor data.

Abstract: A compound of Formula 1 wherein, X represents an alkyl, alkylene, alkenyl, alkenylene, alkynyl or alkynylene group, optionally having at least one substituent selected from the group of —OR1 and —NR1R2, or Y represents —OTBS, —OR1, —NR1R2; Z represents —OR3 or ?O; and R1, R2 and R3 each independently stand for H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl, optionally in the form of enantiomers racemic mixtures, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, for use as a medicament, in particular for use in anti-viral cancer treatment in mammals and for use in treatment of benign or neoplastic genital Human Papilloma Virus associated diseases and for use in treatment of non-genital warts.

Abstract: This invention describes the production of a polymeric film, specifically a mix of two different lattices, in order to obtain a barrier layer in food packaging that reduces bacterial cell growth. Said reduction in bacterial growth is a result of choosing not only a surface with chemical properties to prevent bacterial growth, but also, and especially, controlling the nanostructure of the surface in order to prevent bacterial adhesion and so prevent bacterial film formation. This is done by using a mixture of two lattices and thermally annealing the surface as needed to such surface topography that bacterial growth is decreased. This invention addresses the need for an increased shelf-life of groceries in order to reduce spoilage losses, and thus waste. In addition, this invention supports the need to monitor the spoilage of packaged food so that less food is unnecessarily disposed of and on the other hand, so that spoiled food is not consumed by humans.

Abstract: A system to select and reposition inventory items on one or more shelving units is disclosed. The system can include a robotic positioning system (RPS) to move inventory items on a shelf to the front of the shelf, or off the shelf, to facilitate selection, delivery, and restocking of the inventory item. The RPS can include a movement system to enable it to position itself behind a particular inventory item on a shelf. The RPS can also include a positioner to enable the RPS to move the inventory item backward and forward on the shelf. The RPS can be mounted on a free-standing frame to enable movement in two axes and repositioning of inventory items in a third axis. The RPS can also be centrally mounted in a shelving unit and can move vertically and rotate about a single axis to reposition inventory items radially.

Abstract: An apparatus for holding a buoyant object in a liquid bath so as to defrost or otherwise process the object with a liquid. The apparatus has a base, one or more surface engaging devices and one or more independently movable elongated flexible arms. The base fits inside a container holding the liquid. The surface engaging devices removably secure the base to a bottom wall of the container. The elongated flexible arms extend upward and outward from the base to hold the object in the liquid bath. In use, the engaging devices secure the base to the bottom wall of the container and the flexible arms are flexibly manipulated to hold the object below the surface of the liquid and away from the bottom wall and sidewalls of the container so as to at least substantially encircle the object with the liquid to more quickly and evenly process the object.

Abstract: Techniques are described for applying data usage policies through data tagging. A metadata tag may be applied to data to indicate a type of the data. In some cases, the tag may be applied to the data when the data is decrypted, and the tag may propagate with the data as the data is passed between processes. A software module may include control logic that is configured to apply data usage policies based on the type tag of data. When the software module attempts an action on the data, such as storing or communicating the data, the control logic may access policy information. Based on the policy information, the control logic may allow the action, prevent the action, or allow the action to proceed on a modified version of the data.
