Abstract: Disclosed herein is a compound composition for a vehicle interior material using a natural fiber, which has use for enhancing physical properties, such as shock resistance, tensile strength, flexural strength, elongation, flexural modulus of elasticity, and heat deflection temperature, while realizing a reduction in weight of a vehicle. The compound composition is composed of a base resin obtained by mixing a high-fluidity polypropylene resin and a high-impact polypropylene resin, the base resin being a thermoplastic resin, a reinforcing filler that is a lightweight, eco-friendly, and low-density natural fiber, an impact modifier that is ethylene-propylene-octene rubber, an inorganic filler that functions as a nuclear agent, and a maleic-anhydride compatibilizer.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with one or more nucleic acid sequence encoding insecticidal protein(s) and one or more silencing element(s). In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The molecular and breeding stacks find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Abstract: Disclosed is a caliper cover and associated bracket. The bracket includes a surface configuration that guides the bracket along the caliper and/or that applies an elastic force against the caliper for more stable assembly. The bracket also includes an engagement structure with an engagement tab that couples the bracket to the caliper, and an opening for allowing a bolt or other fastener to fasten the caliper cover to the bracket and caliper.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering addressable or targeted advertising to subscribers during programming that the subscribers have recorded identifies the timing and characterization of programs to be recorded and the probable subscriber of those programs. Using the subscriber profiles of those subscribers, either already developed or generated on-the-fly based on program selection, and ad characterizations/profiles, the system generates a schedule of advertisements to be inserted into the avails (advertising opportunities) of the programming as it is recorded. The schedule generated can depend on correlations or matching between the ad profiles and the subscribers' profile, scheduling requirements (i.e., contracts and sales with advertisers) and timing. This system allows for targeted advertising to be delivered to subscribers during recorded programming and thus provides for additional opportunities for advertisers to reach subscribers in a highly addressable fashion.

Abstract: An aircraft galley cart bay door includes a door main structure having an inwardly facing peripheral inner edge with an inner surface, and a surface seal on the inner surface of the inwardly facing peripheral inner edge of the inner wall. A substantial majority of the main structure of the door is formed from a high strength molded carbon fiber composite material. The door main structure may optionally define a recess, and insulation material can be disposed in the recess defined by the main structure of the door.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a water-solvated glass/amorphous solid that is an ionic conductor-an electronic insulator, and a dielectric as well as electrochemical devices and processes that use this material, such as batteries, including rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, electrolysis cells, and electronic devices. The electrochemical devices and products use a combination of ionic and electronic conduction as well as internal electric dipoles.

Abstract: A method and system for assisting clinical staff in providing optimal care in real-time and assisting in compliance with clinical standards and guidelines. The system performs the steps of receiving items of patient data, comparing the received patient data with a set of best practice rules to determine if at least one item of patient data has not been received. The patient data can include patient information, diagnosis, decision, or an action to be taken. The system generates a first notification if an item of patient data has not been received. The first notification is generated based on the comparison of the received patient data with the set of best practice rules. The system displays the first notification, which includes a selectable portion for entering data corresponding to the at least one item of patient data that has not been received.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for remotely monitoring the health of a patient in a real-time, continuous manner, remotely deliver therapeutic medications to the patient, and facilitating communication between the patient and a remotely located patient care provider.

Abstract: Method and plant for the stabilization and inertization of slag which is intended to obtain an inert and matured product based on slag deriving from steel production processes in steelworks or ferrous mineral treatment processes in blast furnaces.

Abstract: Five novel plant transcription terminators MYB2, KTI1, PIP1, EF1A2, and MTH1 are isolated from soybean and their functions in the regulation of RNA transcription and processing in plants are described.

Abstract: A cabinet is provided with a housing including a rear wall, a first side wall, a second side wall opposite to the first side wall, a bottom, a top frame member, and a front frame member, and two sliding doors, each disposed on the top frame member, the front frame member, and one of the first and second side walls. The housing is shaped as a truncated trapezoid in its side elevation.

Abstract: A substrate holder having a fixing surface for holding a substrate, a system having such a substrate holder, a use of such a substrate holder, a method for bonding two substrates and a product, particularly a substrate stack, produced using such a method and also a use of such a substrate holder for such a method.

Abstract: A device and method for at least partial loosening of a connecting layer of a temporarily bonded substrate stack. The device has at least one ring, whereby the substrate stack can be placed within the at least one ring, the at least one ring having a plurality of nozzles. The nozzles are arranged distributed at least over a portion of the periphery of the at least one ring, the nozzles directed onto the connecting layer. The device sprays solvent from the nozzles onto an edge area of the connecting layer.

Abstract: A structural arrangement is provided in the form of a bracket for fastening a profile handle, wherein the bracket is constructed and arranged to be fastened by a fastening screw on a top edge of a front wall of a door or a drawer and contains a passing hole able to receive the fastening screw and a pair of side recesses. The pair of side recesses configures a rail for fitting and sliding a pair of tines existing in an inner region of a base of the profile handle, and the bracket includes other features such as having three of four edges of the bracket comprises removable tabs, a rectangular shape, and a configuration wherein the passing hole is positioned in an internal end of the bracket, the internal end being opposite to the edge of the bracket has one of the removable tabs.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, advertisement identifiers are stored in a queue in memory in the set top box or elsewhere corresponding to individual subscribers of a television service delivery network. The advertisements are retrieved and displayed in the order dictated by the queue as advertisement avails are detected in the particular channel information stream being watched by that subscriber. Accordingly, the subscriber sees the advertisements regardless of what channel or television program is being watched and sees them in the order dictated by the queue. The invention also is applicable to other information streams including Internet advertising, audio/radio advertising and advertising in electronic program guides.
