Abstract: The present disclosure provides a mechanism allowing a PDCP transmitting entity to move a transmitting window even after a packet loss over an Xn interface. According to an embodiment, a timer is provided in the PDCP transmitting entity and is started when it is determined that a packet loss may occur. The transmitting window can be moved when the timer expires, regardless of whether a PDCP PDU corresponding to a lower limit of the transmitting window has been acknowledged to be successfully transmitted or not. According to a further embodiment, a PDCP receiving entity maintains a receiving window and a t-Reordering timer is used to assist the PDCP transmitting entity to move the transmitting window. In this way, even if a packet loss occurs over the Xn interface, the transmitting window can be moved to continue transmitting subsequent PDCP PDUs.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods to improve safety and efficiency in an operating room comprise providing a suture package that holds new suture needles and needle receptacles for storing used needles. The devices can be safely worn for the surgeon to self-dispense new suture needles in the near surgical field and to secure the used needles into a needle trap or a needle retainer located on his extremity, on his operative instruments or on the surgical drapes. The device may provide automated and/or simplified needle counting both during use and after removal from the surgical field. The device may be configured for ergonomic and efficient use so as to minimize the actions and motions of the surgeon to dispense and secure the needle.

Abstract: A touch pad outputs a detection signal indicating a coordinate corresponding to a contact state where a finger is in contact with the coordinate detecting unit, and a detection signal indicating a coordinate corresponding to a proximity state where the finger is in proximity to, without contact with, the coordinate detecting unit. An operation input device detects, based on the detection signals, a contact region in which the finger is in contact with the coordinate detecting unit, and a proximity region in which the finger is in proximity to, without contact with, the coordinate detecting unit. Then, the operation input device determines a pointed coordinate based on the contact region detected and the proximity region detected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for preparing amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate. An aluminum salt and a phosphate solution are co-mixed at a constant ratio in the presence of a buffer. Preferably, an excess of the phosphate solution is used to act as a buffer. Due to the presence of a buffer, the pH is maintained constant during reaction (after initial rapid equilibration) without active adjustment. The methods are particularly applicable for the large scale manufacturing of aluminum phosphate adjuvant. Aluminum phosphate is used as an adjuvant in vaccine formulations, particularly those including a protein or saccharide antigen.
