Abstract: A bit cell is disclosed, comprising a non-non-volatile memory element and a transistor arrangement configured to provide a write signal switching a state of the memory element. A first terminal of the memory element is connected to a bit line (BL), a second terminal of the memory element is connected to a first common source/drain terminal of the transistor arrangement, and a second common source/drain terminal of the transistor arrangement is connected to a source line (SL). The transistor arrangement comprises a stacked complementary transistor pair, wherein a gate of an upper transistor is connected to a first word line (WLN) and wherein a gate of a lower transistor is connected to a second word line (WLP). A memory device comprising an array of such bit cells, as well as a method for controlling a bit cell, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cloud-based commissioning system enables remote commissioning of smart devices located at a site network. The system includes a cloud-based commissioning application that receives a commissioning request from a user using a device remote from the site network, and generates a cloud-based commissioning request. An agent is installed on a central server of the network site. The agent receives the cloud-based commissioning request from the cloud-based commissioning application, converts the cloud-based commissioning request to a protocol-specific commissioning request, and sends the protocol-specific commissioning request to a device layer of the network site. The device layer includes at least one smart device.

Abstract: An embodiment may have two rotary discs including a second disc (a cap) and a first disc; and a rotary ‘cam’ (having ports) placed in the central hole of the first disc. A cap is half the diameter of the first disc. Both face each other and maintain contour complementarity during both of two modes of operation The cap seals the cavity underneath, and without jeopardizing the sealing, permits entry and exit of the radial ridges and furrows of the first disc into it. The ridges sweep the floor (under surface) of the cap and divide the cavity into variable volume compartments that suck and expel fluid simultaneously through the ‘cam’. The machine is designed to work as rotary pump, compressor, turbine or internal combustion engine.

Abstract: An embodiment may have two rotary discs including a second disc (a cap) and a first disc; and a rotary ‘cam’ (having ports) placed in the central hole of the first disc. A cap is half the diameter of the first disc. Both face each other and maintain contour complementarity (wall height of the second disc+radial depth of the first disc is constant at contact); either, when both discs rotate on their axes, placed the second disc's radius apart, or when the second disc rotates and revolves on the face of stationary first disc. The cap seals the cavity underneath during the two motions, and without jeopardizing the sealing, permits entry and exit of the radial ridges and furrows of the first disc into it. The ridges sweep the floor (under surface) of the cap and divide the cavity into variable volume compartments that suck and expel fluid simultaneously through the ‘cam’. The machine is designed to work as rotary pump, compressor, turbine or internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The invention provides novel paclitaxel derivatives obtained by effecting modifications at C2′, C3′ and/or C7 positions of paclitaxel, said derivatives being useful in inhibiting the growth of cancer of lung, breast, ovary, cervix or leukemia, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such derivatives.
