Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sending and receiving encrypted submessages. A method for sending and receiving encrypted submessages includes generating a first submessage comprising a first portion of content stored onto a first computer, generating a second submessage comprising a second portion of the content, encrypting the first submessage and the second submessage, transmitting the encrypted first submessage to a second computer via a first path, transmitting the encrypted second submessage to the second computer via a second path, wherein the first submessage and the second submessage are transmitted to the second computer in a batched manner, transmitting an encryption key to the second computer, wherein the encryption key is transmitted to the second computer in real time, wherein the encryption key indicates a decrypting algorithm to decrypt the encrypted first submessage, and wherein the second computer recreates the content by decrypting the encrypted first submessage.

Abstract: This invention provides a pickup truck rear side panel cover comprised of at least three attached pieces with the cover comprising one layer of material. The cover fits all, or substantially all, of the outside, optionally the top rail, and optionally the inside of the top rail of the driver side and/or passenger side rear side panel. The cover is foldable, temporary, not permanently affixed, easily removable, easily storable by folding it up to a volume of less than 3 cubic feet, and not for highway use, and it can be quickly and easily installed (and uninstalled) while the pickup truck is stationary. The cover shields a rear side panel of the pickup truck while loading and/or unloading the bed of the pickup truck and thereby it protects the rear side panel of the pickup truck from damage such as scratches and dents from falling debris while loading and/or unloading the bed of the pickup truck.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sending and receiving encrypted submessages. Messages could be partitioned into a plurality of submessages based on the content of a message, and such submessages could be individually encrypted and sent over a network. The partitioning could be based on various standards and/or heuristics. In the sending process, submessages could be designated to travel over different networks and networks of different types. Such submessages could then be received and reassembled in spite containing overlapping content with respect to each other, having to contend with copies of submessages, and having accompanying related content (e.g., advertisements) and non-related content (e.g., random bits). Moreover, the sending process could also be performed in real time or in a batched manner, depending on the implementation.

Abstract: A six degree of freedom servo driven robot having a seventh axis servo motor for rotating servo driven nut runners affixed to swing arms about a radius. The robot offering flexibility within high production manufacturing and automotive assembly processes by realizing translational movement of servo driven nut runners about seven degrees of translation for fastening component parts of a work product within a work envelope.

Abstract: A medical examination table includes a pass-through storage drawer which is accessible from either side of the examination table through opposite drawer openings. A drawer front is releasably connected adjacent either end of the drawer to change the access side of the examination table. A cover member is provided to cover the drawer openings on the non-access side of the examination table.

Abstract: A medical examination table has a step that is movable between a stowed position within the base of the table, to an extending position for use by persons mounting or dismounting the table. Slide members are coupled to the step inboard from the lateral sides of the step, so that the slide members are hidden from view even when the step is placed in the extended position. The step is suspended above a floor surface by the slide members and lower support members provided on a bottom side of the step, to facilitate movement of the step between the stowed and extended positions.

Abstract: A prognostic indicator for metastasis comprises an antibody directed against osteopontin.

Abstract: A multi-use landscape light fixture is provided. The landscape light fixture includes a main housing, a lens assembly, a light source mount assembly and a base. The main housing has an upper flanged opening and a lower flanged opening. The upper opening is used for mounting a lens or the like using the lens ring. The lower opening has a flange used for mounting the base. The base has an upper portion that is inserted into the bottom opening of the main housing and a lower flanged bulkhead that mates with the flange of the main housing. Once mated, the flanged bulkhead forms a watertight seal with the lower flange of the main housing. The base includes power and signal connectors and separate compartments for ballast circuitry and junctions. The landscape light fixture may be mounted above, below or at any level in between grade.

Abstract: A filtration based biological specimen collection and transfer device is provided. The filtration and transfer device comprises a tubular body with two axial ends, an annular flange disposed at one of the axial ends, and a biological specimen filter affixed to the outer surface of the annular flange. Preferably, the annular flange has disposed on its outer surface an annular ridge having a uniform height and forming a planar rim upon which the filter sits. Optionally, the annular flange comprises two mounting portions and the filter is bonded to each of those mounting portions. A method of collecting microscopic biological particles carried in a fluid is provided using the filtration and transfer device and a method of manufacturing the filtration and transfer device are also provided. A filtration based biological specimen collection and transfer system using the filtration and transfer device and a kit for use with filtration based biological specimen collection and transfer systems are also provided.

Abstract: A ductal access device is provided for accessing a breast duct and collecting biological material from within the duct. The access device may include an elongated member having an outer diameter sized for positioning within the breast duct and an internal lumen for infusing a fluid into the breast duct and collecting fluid from the breast duct and adapted to slideably receive a ductal introducer. The introducer may extend beyond the distal tip of the catheter and serve to penetrate the ductal orifice.

Abstract: Various types of static DC to DC converters are known. Some of these have output rectifiers including phase controlled SCRs. The present invention eliminates the need for controlled output SCRs by pulse width modulation of switching elements in a control circuit controlling the converter circuitry itself. This results in the elimination of some switching devices, higher reliability and higher-efficiency, A unijunction oscillator drives a one-shot multivibrator and a flip flop. The unijunction oscillator, one-shot multivibrator and flip flop feed two AND gates which are alternately enabled to allow pulses of current to flow from a DC source through opposite halves of a primary winding of a transformer. The output of the secondary winding is rectified and filtered to provide the converter output. Voltage regulation is accomplished by controlling the one-shot multivibrator. In one embodiment, paralleling of a number of converters is enabled by providing for frequency and pulse width synchronization.
