Abstract: A user identity management platform is provided that manages user identity for an enterprise, such as a retail enterprise. In particular, a specific identity graph structure is provided that allows for flexible management and selection of user account information depending on the context in which that user account information is to be used. Confidence scores may be maintained for nodes and edges and probabilistic techniques associated with account activity may be used to improve confidence of association among nodes within a cluster representing a unique user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel SMAC mimetic peptidomimetics useful for the treatment of proliferative diseases including cancer in mammals The novel SMAC mimetics are prepared by incorporating (2S,5R)-5-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid, a novel unnatural amino acid that imparts exclusively trans amide bond geometry favourable for target protein binding. Here, the novel SMAC mimetic molecule(s) not only show its efficacy in varied cancer types but also demonstrate in vitro and in vivo efficacy against therapy resistant cancer as a single agent. The novel SMAC mimetics disclosed in the present invention binds to BIR-2 and BIR-3 domains of the XIAP and exhibit high anti-proliferative activity against variety of mammalian cancer cell lines that include but not limited to chemotherapy and TRAIL resistant cell lines.

Abstract: An adjustable refrigeration rack system may include a pair of parallel shafts arranged on a rear interior cabinet side of a refrigerator, a plurality of pairs of attachment mechanisms, each attachment mechanisms having one attachment mechanism arranged on one rail, and another arranged at equal height on the other rail, the attachment mechanisms configured to hold a shelf and selectively engage the respective shafts, and a drive mechanism configured to drive the shafts vertically, wherein movement of the shafts causes movement of the shelf arranged on the attachment mechanisms selectively engaged with the shafts, but not movement of a shelf arranged on the attachment mechanisms unattached to the shafts.

Abstract: A pedestal assembly for a laundry appliance configured to operably connect to a water supply and drain of the laundry appliance arranged above the pedestal, the pedestal may include a cabinet defining a cavity configured to receive items to be laundered; and a shoe holder having at least one shaft configured to maintain at least one shoe thereon, wherein the shoe holder is configured to rotate within the cavity during a pedestal wash cycle and the shoe holder is configured to maintain a fixed position within the cavity for storage when the pedestal is not operating in a wash cycle.

Abstract: A refrigerator shelf system includes a refrigerator having a liner wall and a shelf. The liner wall defines a recess and has pairs of opposing protrusions extending into the recess. The shelf has locks extending therefrom. The locks are configured to engage the pairs of opposing protrusions when the shelf is transitioned to a horizontal position to secure the horizontal position of the shelf and facilitate the shelf supporting at least one item. The locks are configured to disengage the pairs of opposing protrusions when the shelf is transitioned to a vertical position to facilitate adjusting a height of the shelf.

Abstract: A driver circuit, comprising: an input for receiving an input power; an input capacitor (C2) for buffering the input power; a switched mode power converter for supplying a driving current from the buffered input power; a current limiter coupled to the switched mode power converter, wherein the current is configured to control the switched mode power converter to limit the driving current at a driving load limit, wherein the current limiter comprises a controllable switch (Q3) configured to control the switched mode power converter; and a control element (301) configured to sense a variation of the input power, the control element coupled to the controllable switch and adjusting the controllable switch based on the variation of the input power, such that the current limiter is configured to adjust the driving load limit based on the variation of the input power, wherein said control element comprises: a current sensing element (R1) in series in the line between the input capacitor (C2) and the input.

Abstract: Control circuits (1) for controlling non-self-exciting converters (100) are provided with network circuits (11-16) for deriving control signals destined for the converters (100) for starting the converters (100) after zero-crossings of first signals that enter the converters (100). These control signals are derived from the first signals. The network circuits (11-16) may comprise serial connections of resistor circuits (14, 15) and main capacitors (13) and may comprise break-over-circuitry (11) for controlling switching elements (105) of the converters (100) via the control signals. The control circuits (1) may further comprise first regulator circuits (17-29) for, in dependence of the first signals, delaying the control signals to control an amount of power transferred, and may further comprise second regulator circuits (30, 31) for, in dependence of one or more load parameter signals, delaying the control signal to control an amount of power transferred.
