Abstract: Heat exchanger for heat exchange or heat recovery in systems such as refrigeration or heat pump systems, in particular a condenser or evaporator in such systems The heat exchanger is shaped of a multi-port aluminium extrusion (8) by bending and forming parallel loops. Each of the ends of the extrusion (8) are finally bent such that they are facing each other and are connected at an offset of one port or hole (9) and thereby creating a single helical loop unit with inlet and outlet ports (15 respectively 16).

Abstract: Flexibility with respect to access and enjoyment of time shifted content in a content distribution network is provided, especially with regard to content not present on a DVR. A DVR accesses a network storage device over a network for particular portions of content not available on the DVR and the network storage device provides those missing portions. The user may then rewind and playback not only already locally stored content but also that content provided by the storage device. Content can he provided through faster-than-real-time transmissions such that the content is made available to the DVR prior to it being needed for rewind functionality or playback.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention facilitate the solicitation of user input while allowing for dynamic changes to that input while concurrently ranking the same. Ranking occurs in real-time and allows for a user to alter their contribution or vote until the close of a contribution period allowing real-time influences to be taken into account. Contributions may be provided in response to or as a part of a template driven nomination process. Solicitations of input may occur in the context of a pre-defined slate of options for voting, nominating certain options for a subsequent or concurrent voting process, or choosing/suggest more than one option such as the best of a slate of options or the individual ranking of a slate of options. Embodiments of the present invention capture all user nominations or suggestions while simultaneously providing the real-time ranking and dynamic re-ranking of those nominations or suggestions.

Abstract: Methods of treating solid organ injuries using compounds that enhance Wnt signalling are described.

Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, a receiver panel is provided that includes multiple thermally conductive nanostructures. The thermally conductive nanostructures may be provided on a substrate that supports the multiple thermally conductive nanostructures. In one embodiment, the thermally conductive nanostructures may be substantially orthogonal with respect to the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: An electricity generation system is presented. The electricity generation system includes a solar preheater for preheating compressed discharge air, a combustor to receive the heated compressed air from the solar preheater, burn a fuel using the heated compressed air to generate hot burned gas, a first turbine to receive the hot burned gas from the combustor, expand the hot burned gas to generate exhaust gas, a heat recovery steam generator to receive the exhaust gas from the first turbine, generate vapor by heating a condensed fluid using the exhaust gas, a solar evaporator/superheater to receive a heated working fluid from the heat recovery steam generator, generate solar vapor by heating the heated working fluid, and a second turbine to drive a second generator using vapor and the solar vapor.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating subjects with disorders characterized by aberrant vascular endothelial cell growth are provided. The compositions comprise agents that are combinations of a Wnt pathway stimulator component and a Tie2 pathway repressor component. Particularly useful Wnt pathway stimulators include, but are not limited to, Wnt7b-like molecules. Particularly useful Tie2 pathway repressor components include, but are not limited to, Ang2-like molecules. The methods allow for modulation of vascular endothelial cells, vascular endothelial cell vessels, capillary bed development, and angiogenesis.

Abstract: A lamp module for projectors, in particular for digital cinema and video projectors, has a reflector system which has at least two reflectors and in which a lamp is accommodated. The reflector system is electrically connected to the lamp and bears the lamp such that the reflector system and the lamp can be inserted into the projector as a preassembled unit and considerably simplifies assembly.

Abstract: A system and method for time-shifted viewing of broadcast television programs is disclosed. Simultaneous recording and playback are provided by using buffer storage as the source and destination of compressed or uncompressed digital video/audio programs. Full VCR-like control is provided for all playback within the buffer storage. Playback and control of recorded programs may be initiated by the user at any time after initiation of the broadcast program with simultaneous continuous recording of the ongoing live broadcast. Larger archival storage and removable is also provided for storing and building a library of programs. Viewer playback control data may be stored as part of the program or used as edit points prior to archival. Numerous options are provided for features such as continuous automatic recording in a circular buffer fashion, program archival editing, Internet interfaces, multiple-channel recording and more.

Abstract: An injection unit has an injector arrangement connected to a pressure reservoir by a pressure line arrangement The injector arrangement has at least one servo injection valve and a control valve for the release of fuel from a control chamber into a fuel return line leading to the fuel tank The Valve may be operated by a piezoelectric actuator to cause a displacement of a nozzle body in the direction of an injection passage opening for initiating an injection process by pressure reduction in the control chamber. The fuel return line has a controllable valve, which restricts the fuel flow in the fuel return line in the actuated state. It is, thus, possible to reduce the effects of a change of length of the piezoelectric actuator, which exceeds the so-called tolerance gap in the servo injection valve, which are detrimental to the operation of the injection unit.

Abstract: A base for a discharge lamp has a stainless steel material which discolors in the visible region above a predetermined temperature, it being possible to perceive such a discoloration preferably above approximately 230° C. with an increasingly strong yellow tarnishing color.
