Abstract: A new and distinct raspberry variety named ‘N1237057’ is described herein. The variety resulted from selection among a population of seedlings derived from a controlled cross carried out in 2012 between NN09030 (seed parent) (not patented) and NN08021 (pollen parent) (not patented). The present variety was selected for its yield, fruit firmness, vigour and harvest season.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical preparation that inhibits recurrence of hematological malignancies and/or improves survival rates, in patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of hematological malignancies, which contains 2-amino-2-[4-(3-benzyloxyphenylthio)-2-chlorophenyl] ethyl-propane-1,3-diol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient.

Abstract: A method of controlling the discharge of waste water from a toilet includes the installation of a valve in the discharge outlet of the toilet, the valve including a valve body and a spring-loaded valve closure member that is movable relative to the valve body into an open position during flushing of the toilet against the action of its spring-loading and which is returned to the closed position by the action of its spring-loading on completion of the flushing operation.

Abstract: A belt sander is disclosed that may include a sanding assembly having a first roller and a second roller, the sanding assembly being configured to receive a sanding belt around the first roller and the second roller to define a sanding surface therebetweeen. The belt sander may include a motor operationally coupled to the sanding assembly and opposite the sanding surface, the motor being configured to rotate at least the first roller and thereby rotate the sanding belt around the first roller and the second roller, as well as a handgrip formed around at least a portion of the motor and substantially encasing the motor.

Abstract: Methods and systems for position management are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for providing position management may include a community of position management including members and a position management system. The position management system may be configured to create an organization chart with one or more employment positions associated with an organization, receive a request to change an employment position in the organization, notify one or more members in the community to approve the requested change, and generate an updated organization chart reflecting the requested change of the employment position.

Abstract: A pneumatic compressor capable of supplying compressed gas to a pneumatic tool. The compressor can be powered alternatively by either a battery or an AC power source. The compressor comprises a permanent magnet DC electric motor and circuitry for converting the AC power source to DC power. The compressor includes a receptacle for accommodating one or more of a plurality of batteries and includes circuitry for using batteries having different voltages. The AC power source may also be used to charge a battery connected to the compressor.

Abstract: Amperage control of a power tool motor is provided by pulse width modulation of current from a power supply. The pulse width modulation may be varied according to the determined motor current and measured power supply voltage. The power supply may include a battery such as lithium ion or nickel cadmium.
