Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for producing a radium target for the production of radionuclides by means of accelerated protons, whereby at least one radium containing material out of an aqueous-organic solution or suspension of such a material is applied by means of a dispersing device on a surface in such a way that the dispersing device and the surface are moving relatively towards each other and that the solvent is removed substantially spontaneously. Further, the invention refers to a radium target that is created in such a way that it may exhibit an activity of up to 1.5 curie. The radium targets according to the present invention serve for the production of the radionuclide 225Ac, which may be used in nuclear medicine in the treatment of cancer, particularly in form of its daughter nuclide 213Bi.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing temporary e-mail addresses is described. All e-mail sent to a temporary e-mail address is initially forwarded to an actual e-mail address. In some examples, the temporary e-mail address is automatically deactivated in response to an event such that no e-mail sent to the temporary e-mail address is forwarded to the actual e-mail address. A notification e-mail is sent to the actual e-mail address, the notification e-mail indicating that the temporary e-mail address has been deactivated and including one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) configured to manage the deactivation of the temporary e-mail address.

Abstract: Techniques for global single instance indexing for backup data are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for indexing backup data. The method may comprise generating a content hash for an item being backed up. The item may be associated with a resource name and the content hash may be used as an identifier in backup and indexing. The method may further comprise saving an entry for the item in an index database. The entry may comprise a resource list which may comprise the resource name and a reference count associated with the resource name. Moreover, the method may comprise setting a value for the reference count.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a server. The server, in turn, comprises one or more master instances of an operating system (OS). The OS comprises a set of computer program files to operate a computer. The server also includes a version-managing program maintaining the one or more master operating systems. The computer system also includes a number of client computers each of which is configured to operate using one of the one or more master operating systems as read-only files.

Abstract: A waste decomposition apparatus has a container-shaped body, a waste inlet for introducing wastes into the body, an outlet for discharging residual ash out of the body after the wastes introduced into the body are decomposed, and magnetic functioning means for inducing magnetic fields in the wastes introduced into the body. The waste decomposition apparatus includes pressing means for pressing the wastes introduced into the body.

Abstract: Phenoxymethyl compounds that inhibit at least one phosphodiesterase 10 are described as are pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds an methods for treating various CNS disorders by administering such compounds to a patient in need thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of molecular biology and recombinant nucleic acid technology.

Disclosed herein are meganucleases which are variants of the I-CreI and LIG-34meganucleases. The invention also relates to methods of producing engineered maize plants using such meganucleases.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are described for organizing collagen into fibrillar networks, e.g, short and long-range organization. Collagen produced by the disclosed methods can be used for tissue engineering.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing trigger based dynamic changes to a packet flow in a communication network are described. The trigger based dynamic changes can include upgrading and downgrading quality of service (QoS), processing the packet flow, and providing services to the packet flow. These changes can be provided by inspecting packets at a gateway for trigger conditions and setting up a proxy instance for the packet flows. The proxy can coordinate QoS changes and management of packet flows. The triggers can be based on the destination of the packet, for example, the uniform resource locator (URL) and/or by the services (e.g., email, video, messaging) that the subscriber is accessing. The triggers can also be based on the identity of the user or agreements a provider might have with an operator of network equipment for users accessing the provider's website.

The server includes the partition.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for modulating a beacon light source in a light based positioning system. In some embodiments, the method includes selecting a modulation scheme for the light source, the modulation scheme periodically varying an output of the light source from a peak output level to a bottom output level, applying the modulation scheme to the light source, and adding a DC bias to the modulation scheme, the DC bias reducing the peak output level and increasing the bottom output level of the modulation scheme. In some embodiments, the peak output level is increased beyond an un-modulated output of the light source and an average output of the light source is substantially equal to the un-modulated output of the light source. In some embodiments, the peak output level includes an un-modulated output of the light source.
