Abstract: A method for communicating between an internal server system and an external warehouse system for a plurality of articles, the method including receiving an Inventory Snapshot Entity from the external warehouse system, selecting the one or more unique article identifiers from the Inventory Snapshot Entity to be included in an Order Entity, dropping the Order Entity to the external warehouse system, receiving a Return Entity from the external warehouse system, and in response to receiving the Return Entity, updating one or more article databases to indicate receiving one or more articles corresponding to the one or more unique article identifiers.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for detecting and/or modulating TOX3 gene expression and/or biological activity. Such compositions and methods find utility in the detection and/or treatment of certain subsets of cancers, e.g. breast cancer. In particular, the inventive compositions and methods are drawn to production and use of anti-TOX3 antibodies and TOX3 nucleic acids for both detection and modulation of TOX3. The invention also provides for pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the modulation of TOX3 in a subject in need thereof. Further aspects of the invention relate to transgenic mice that either overexpress or inducibly express TOX3.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises determining which of a plurality of media sources has a higher quality than at least one other media source and selecting the media source having the higher quality.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods of inhibiting transplant rejection in a mammal, comprising administering one or more transplant rejection inhibiting compounds to the mammal, wherein at least one compound includes an antibody that immunoreacts with the extracellular domain of the SPEX polypeptide. The present invention also provides a method of decreasing an expression of the SPEX polypeptide on a lymphocyte that expresses the SPEX polypeptide. The present invention further provides a method of identifying antibodies that immunoreact with the extracellular domain of the SPEX polypeptide and inhibit transplant rejection.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel polypeptides and other factors identified as being expressed in spleen tissue and related to lymphocyte activity and the immune response. These compounds are referred to herein as SPEX compounds. Human and murine homologues of SPEX polypeptides and polynucleotides are provided including two murine alleles. The invention further provides polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides and complementary nucleic acid sequences thereof. Also provided are immunogens, expression vectors, and antibodies related to the SPEX polypeptides and polynucleotides. The present invention discloses the use of anti-SPEX antibodies in the regulation of lymphocyte activity and the regulation of the immune response.

Abstract: A self-propelled machine that is used to break apart large round bales of straw and disperse the shredded material on a prepared seed bed. The machine includes an engine for power, a round bale chopper to dismember the round bale, a centrifugal fan and a moveable blower chute at least 9 feet long. The blower chute can move 360 degrees in the horizontal plane and 60 degrees in the vertical plane and allows the operator to very precisely control the amount and placement of the shredded material. A second large round bale can be stored and transported on the machine and can easily be moved into position to be shredded. An operator control chair is located at the right rear of the machine and is capable of controlling every aspect of the machine from the single location.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the use of linguistic, especially phonological, knowledge to guide the speech recognition process. A speech signal containing an utterance is received and linguistic cues in the speech signal are detected. From these detected linguistic cues, a symbolic representation of the contents of the speech signal is generated. This symbolic representation comprises at least one word division, wherein each word division consists of an onset-rhyme pair and associated phonological elements. These phonological elements are univalent, may appear in all languages and are distinguishable from each other and directly interpretable in the speech signal. A lexicon of predetermined symbolic representations is provided for words in a particular language. A best match to the generated symbolic representation in found in the lexicon, thereby recognizing the spoken word.

Abstract: An information handling system is described having a power supply (16) having a switching circuit (24) that switches a plurality of energy sources (20) and (22) between series and parallel couplings. Associated with the switching circuit (24) is a voltage level detecting circuit (18) for monitoring the voltage level of the energy sources (20) and (22). A processor (12) for controlling the information handling system (10) responds to the voltage level detecting circuit (18) and in the event of a low voltage condition, the processor (12) activates the switching circuit (24) to switch the energy sources (20) and (22) from a series to a parallel coupling. Alternatively, processor (12) responds to other inputs or conditions for actuating switching circuit (24).

Abstract: A traffic controller system to be utilized as a primary or a back-up unit capable of operating both with an A.C. or a D.C. power supply. The apparatus utilizes a single timing capacitor and an array of timing resistors to generate all timing information for the operation of a traffic light.
