Abstract: A multichannel virtual puppetry device for creating a single virtual character performance one character feature at a time by building up layers of puppeteered animation. The device has a 2D input square particularly mapped for each feature channel. Dimensions of expression for a selected expression for a selected feature for each channel are driven by XY coordinates of the input.

Abstract: Interference cancellation circuitry is provided for reconstructing a wirelessly transmitted modulated signal in a receiver using output of a decoder for calculating per-bit probabilities corresponding to bit-by-bit estimates of a coded message from which one bit hard decisions and multi-bit soft decision can be derived. A soft modulator reconstructs the transmitted modulated signal by calculating a weighted superposition depending upon the hard decisions and at least one combined value computed by combining two or more of the multi-bit soft decisions corresponding to different bits of the coded message. A soft modulation method using combined value(s) in a weighted superposition of hard decisions and computer program code for calculating the combined values and regenerated modulated signal are also provided. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel 5?-substituted nucleoside compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of using the compounds to treat cancer, more particularly for the treatment of cancer, in particular glioblastomas, melanoma, sarcomas, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, bladder cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, leukemias including acute myeloid leukemia, and lymphomas.

Abstract: A method includes displaying information associated with a first application on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device. A gesture is detected on the touch-sensitive display, which gesture indicates a request to display information associated with a second application. At least part of the information associated with the second application is displayed without opening the second application.

Abstract: Many indoor location services do not require precise knowledge of the position of a mobile device, but simply whether a mobile device is within a particular zone of an indoor area. Existing signals in an indoor space may provide enough information to distinguish between different zones of an indoor area, allowing a server to provide indoor location services without requiring the installation of new signal sources in the indoor area.

Abstract: Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one compounds, formulations containing those compounds, and their use as tankyrase 1 and 2 inhibitors Formula (I).

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of Formula II: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates inter alia to expression vector production as well as application to the production of host cells for protein repertoire expression and high-throughput screening. The invention also relates to primers useful for PCR amplification of nucleotide sequences encoding human antibody variable domains.

Abstract: A technique to generically manage extensible correlation data is provided for correlating a series of events. The technique employs a global unique identifier (GUID) for identifying an event and uses the GUID as a key to associate one or more extensible correlators of correlation data. A transport correlator may be configured to transport the GUID for associating with a GUID of a second event such that a small and fixed amount of data is passed by the communications layer providing the transport, minimally impacting communications. An arbitrary amount of data may be logged and keyed with the GUID, providing optimization and flexibility.

Abstract: A wallpaper handling device comprising a wallpaper support member having a first face for supporting a sheet of wallpaper and first and second sides extending therefrom; first and second clamps connected to the first and second sides respectively, each clamp comprising at least one clamping plate, the clamping plates of the two clamps extending inwardly towards each other over the first face, each clamp being adapted to be displaced between an open position in which the clamping plate is remote from the first face and a closed position in which the clamping plate abuts the first face so clamping a sheet of wallpaper between the first face and clamping plate.

Abstract: Novel forms of [R—(R*,R*)]-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-?,?-dihydroxy-5-(1-methylethyl)-3-phenyl-4-[(phenylamino)carbonyl]-1H-pyrrole-1-heptanoic acid hemi calcium salt designated Form XX, Form XXI, Form XXII, Form XXIII, Form XXIV, Form XXV, Form XXVI, Form XXVII, Form XXVIII, Form XXIX, and Form XXX, characterized by their X-ray powder diffraction, solid-state NMR, and/or Raman spectroscopy are described, as well as methods for the preparation and pharmaceutical composition of the same, which are useful as agents for treating hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, osteoporosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: A knife 10 comprises a blade 12 and an integral hollow tang 17 configured to accommodate items therein. At least one rib 25, 26 projects outwardly from at least part of the hollow tang 17 and extends axially at least part way along the tang 17. One or more separately formed handle components 30 is mounted on the tang 17 and connected to the at least one rib 25, 26.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include methods for semi-automatic quantity takeoff from computer aided design (CAD) drawings. For each drawing object a corresponding takeoff object is created. A takeoff object may include the dimension of geometry (e.g., numerical, lineal, area) to quantify, the object parameter to be quantified for all instances of the object, and the takeoff calculations to be performed. After a takeoff object is defined, the corresponding instances are automatically identified and quantified. The cost of each instance is then calculated and added to the project cost. Using automated methods, instead of manual techniques, reduces errors and increases the accuracy of the generated cost estimate. Advantageously, the takeoff objects may be saved in the system database and reused for different projects, thereby ensuring consistency between projects.
