Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for managing network connections. A computing device accesses a request to provision a network connection associated with a first device. The request includes a plurality of connection parameters defining desired specifications for a network connection from the first device to a second device. The connection parameters are validated against information from a database and other predetermined rules. A network connection path is generated to connect the first device with the second device. The network connection path is generated by selecting network elements for the network connection that satisfy the connection parameters. Configuration information for the network elements of the network connection path is aggregated for a configuration system. The configuration information is used to provision the network connection.

Abstract: A tie rod for spanning a duct interior to join duct walls bounding the duct interior, that can be simply and inexpensively fabricated from sheet metal or other suitable material, including automatically, securely fastenable quickly and easily to the duct walls, often by one person, and which can be configured to be nestable for efficient storage and shipping, of elongate construction for spanning a duct interior, with a transverse attachment flange or flanges that can be pre-bent or bent onsite at the installation location via special bending features to snug to a duct wall, and include holes for threadedly receiving fasteners, having a shape and size to reduce fastening torque, with a two attachment flange configuration that resiliently self retains the fastener against loosening from vibration and other forces.
Abstract: The invention described here provides ready-to-use (RTU) pharmaceutical compositions in single unit dose packaging, such compositions including ascorbic acid compound(s), such as sodium ascorbate, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients (e.g., a carrier and optionally other agents, such as a tonicity agent, a chelator, or both). The compositions provided by the invention are stable when stored at 20° C. to 25° C.±2° C. for at least about 3 months. Compositions provided by the invention comprise an osmolality of between about 270 mOsm/kg to about 340 mOsm/kg and do not require dilution or further manipulation prior to use. In certain aspects, the invention comprises methods of using such compositions in the treatment of diseases, conditions, or symptoms related to vitamin C deficiency, such as, in specific embodiments, scurvy.
Abstract: The invention provides an oral solid formulation comprising (a) a controlled release component comprising a core comprising levodopa, wherein the core is coated with a muco-adhesive coating and the muco-adhesive coating is externally coated with an enteric coating; and (b) an immediate release component comprising levodopa. The invention further provides a method for making and using the oral solid formulation.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a display apparatus that may reduce the effect of deterioration in element of a display panel. Provided is a signal processing apparatus including a signal processing unit configured to acquire, in changing a video signal from a low luminance display signal to a high luminance display signal by luminance enhancement, an accumulated load increase amount obtained by measuring and accumulating amounts of increase in load on a display panel caused by luminance enhancement, and adaptively control, in reference to the accumulated load increase amount acquired, a first gain for improving luminance of the video signal, according to a degree of effect of deterioration in element of the display panel. The present technology is applicable to self-luminous display apparatuses, for example.
