Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating body, a plurality of terminals integrated in the insulating body, a strengthening structure and a shell mounted around the insulating body. The insulating body has a base portion and a tongue portion extending forward from a front face of the base portion. A top face of the tongue portion is concaved downward to form a receiving groove passing through a front end of the tongue portion. The strengthening structure has a base plate and two holding arms which oppositely extend from two opposite side edges of a rear of the base plate. A front edge of the base plate is bent downward to form a protecting eave. The base plate is molded in the receiving groove of the tongue portion and the holding arms are embedded in the base portion. The front end of the tongue portion is wrapped by the protecting eave.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention, a biodegradable/biodegradable polymer film may be used as a scaffold for tissue engineering scaffolds for engineering organized organs, such as vascular grafts, for example. In one embodiment, an ultraviolet (UV) resin made from a diacrylated biodegradable oligomer is molded into a flexible scaffold having cavities and/or channels. Channel/cavity size may be on the order of micrometers and/or nanometers, and thus the walls may have high aspect ratios. Smooth muscle cells may be deposited in the channels and because of the high aspect ratios, the cells may align along the channels/cavities as confluence is reached.

Abstract: A system and method for non-invasively generating a report of cardiac electrical activities of a subject includes determining, using cardiac electrical activation information, equivalent current densities (ECDs). The ECDs are assembled into time-course ECD information and a spectrum of the time-course ECD information is analyzed to determine peaks for spectral characteristics of atrial fibrillation (AF). The spectral characteristics of AF are correlated with potential electrical sources of the AF and a report is generated indicating the potential electrical sources of the AF spatially registered with the medical imaging data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing an image of the electrical properties of an object using magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) are provided. The electrical properties are determined based on estimated gradient values of the electrical properties of the object. For instance, electrical property maps are reconstructed using a spatial integration on gradient values that are estimated from the magnitude and relative phase values derived from measurements of multiple transmit and receive B1 fields. Specific absorption rate (“SAR”) maps can also be produced based on the estimated electrical properties.

The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods of treatment (i.e., cancer and neurodegenerative disease) by administration of the modulating compounds, assay methods for finding modulators of Sirt2, and kits for practicing the assay method.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a system, method and computer program products for information retrieval from multiple documents by proximity searching for search queries. A method includes generating an index for the multiple documents, wherein the index includes words in snippets in the documents. An input search query is processed against the index by searching query terms over the snippets to introduce term proximity information implicitly in the information retrieval. Results of multiple sentence level search operations are combined as output.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to technology prediction. A technical dictionary of technical terms is constructed based on a collection of documents. The technical terms are partitioned into equivalence classes. A table is generated that correlates technical terms across equivalence classes based on temporal co-occurrence of the technical terms across the equivalence classes. For a given technical term the table is accessed to determine a first set of technical terms that correlate to the given technical term. The table is accessed again to determine a second set of technical terms that correlate to the first set of technical terms. It is predicted that the second set of technical terms will correlate to the given technical term in the future.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for use in treating HSV-related conditions and diseases.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for use with an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, comprising optimizing a filter expression to select a subset of data and evaluating the filter expression on the data after the extracting, before the loading, but not during the transforming of the ETL process. The method and system optimizes the filtering using a pipelined evaluation for single predicate filtering and an adaptive optimization for multiple predicate filtering. The adaptive optimization includes an initial phase and a dynamic phase.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed of processing a set-level query across one or more attributes, the query being grouped by one or more attributes, whereby groups that satisfy the set-level query may be aggregated over one or more attributes. The methods use bitwise arithmetic to efficiently traverse bitmap and bit-slice vectors and indexes of a data relation to determine groups that solve the set-level query.

Abstract: The invention discloses a DCS/WCDMA dual frequency multiplexer. On one hand, the multiplexer utilizes distributed parameter type capacitors in place of conventionally used capacitors. On the other hand, within the multiplexer, a direct circuit and a RF circuit are isolated from each other physically. All components including capacitors co-exist together physically. Similarly, the invention further discloses a dual frequency multiplexer with large application range. It also utilizes the distributed parameter type capacitors like the DCS/WCDMA dual frequency multiplexer. Because the invention has redesigned the entire construction of the multiplexer, it results good effects such as small size, less differential loss, large power capacity, as well as high isolation degree between circuits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a positioning server in a radio access network for collecting radio fingerprint positioning data records from different nodes. The data records comprise geographical positions and radio network communication parameters and are stored and grouped in clusters in the positioning server. A geometrical shape representing a geographical area based on the network communication parameters in the collected positioning data records in the cluster is computed. When a notification about changed network configuration parameters for a radio cell is received, known positioning servers simply erase all positioning data records related to that radio cell. This results in the unavailability of still valid positioning data. The present invention overcomes this problem by selectively erase positioning data records in the positioning server only when the configuration parameters have changed beyond a predefined value range.

Abstract: A method for computing a quantitative metric indicative of pain experienced by a subject using an electrophysiological signal detection system is provided. Electrophysiological data are acquired from a subject with the electrophysiological signal detection system. Modulations in the acquired electrophysiological data that are associated with pain experienced by the subject during the acquisition of the electrophysiological data are identified. A quantitative metric indicative of the pain experienced by the subject is computed by processing the identified modulations in the acquired electrophysiological data.
