Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing separate views for items. A network page providing a summary view of at least a portion of a pool of items is encoded in a computing resource for rendering by a client computing device. A window superimposed over at least a portion of the summary view is rendered by the client computing device. The summary view is deemphasized relative to the window that is superimposed. The window provides a separate view for examination of one item from the pool of items, and the window facilitates a serial examination of the pool of items.

Abstract: An inhalation device comprising a housing, a sensor, a microcontroller, and an actuating device controlled by the microcontroller; the housing comprises a mouthpiece having an opening connected to a passage in said housing, wherein the other end of the passage provides an opening for a cartridge; said sensor being in communication with the microprocessor and configured to detect a parameter based on an action to the mouthpiece, and wherein a parameter being reached, the microcontroller engages the actuating device which engages the cartridge to deliver medication through the passage and out of the mouthpiece.

Abstract: A shredder system and methods for shredding recyclable material including a primary shredder that shreds recyclable material into a first larger shred size and a secondary shredder that shreds recyclable material into a second smaller shred size material. The secondary shredder includes a rotor and a knife that meshes with the rotor to cause all of the first larger shred size material to be further shredded to the second smaller shred size material. The secondary shredder may also include a diverter mechanism capable of diverting the first larger shred size material. Either the diverter mechanism or the knife can move relative to the rotor to create an opening that allows the first larger shred size material to avoid being further shredded into the second smaller shred size material. The shredder system may be disposed in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A stump cutter controller and operator presence system includes one or more capacitive sensors in each of the three control levers that control movement of the cutter wheel. A sensor circuit measures changes in the capacitance of the sensors. The controller automatically disengages a drive clutch and applies a brake to the cutter wheel when the controller senses that an operator has left the operating station—which is assumed when the operator has not touched any one of the three control levers of the operator station for a predetermined time. The controller logic is set to allow the clutch to remain engaged during a delay period, of predetermined duration, to permit the operator to move a hand off of one control lever to another control lever. Also, a grace period, of varying duration based on the speed of the cutter wheel, may be provided during which the clutch is reengaged if an operator returns to the controls.

Abstract: Treatment of cancer in a patient comprises administering to the patient an effective amount of an antibody and an effective amount of NK cells, wherein the antibody binds an antigen on the surface of the NK cells and the antibody binds to an Fc receptor on a cell of the cancer. Anticancer activity is via resultant killing action of the NK cell on the cancer cell now binding the antibody via R-ADCC.
