Abstract: A patient examination system including a frame assembly, one or more motion-controlling assemblies connected to the frame assembly for moving one or more selected movable portions of the frame assembly, and a patient support assembly. The patient support assembly includes a seat subassembly including a seat cushion, a back subassembly, a footrest subassembly including a footrest cushion, and a cover element covering a top side of the seat cushion and an external side of the footrest cushion. The cover element has an exposed surface for engagement with the patient. The seat subassembly includes the seat cushion and is secured to the upper element of the frame assembly. The frame assembly is configured to support the seat subassembly relative to the floor in a lowered position thereof, in a raised position thereof, in intermediate seat positions therebetween, and in Trendelenburg positions.

Abstract: A convertible sofa bed system positionable on a floor. The convertible sofa bed system includes a back support assembly having a frame, and a back cushion assembly connected with the back support assembly and movable between a raised condition and a lowered condition thereof. The system also includes one or more body modules secured to the frame. The body module includes an at least partially planar top surface positionable at a predetermined elevation above the floor. The body module is formed to cooperate with the back cushion assembly in the raised condition to define a seating configuration, and to cooperate with the back cushion assembly in the lowered condition to define a sleeping configuration.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a novel D-xylose isomerase (XI) gene that is suitable for metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for an improved consumption of D-xylose.

Abstract: A patient examination system for locating a patient above a floor. The patient examination system includes a frame assembly, one or more motion-controlling assemblies connected to the frame assembly for moving one or more selected movable portions of the frame assembly, and a patient support assembly that is supported by the frame assembly. The patient support assembly includes a seat subassembly, a back subassembly, a footrest subassembly, and a cover element covering a seat cushion and a footrest cushion in the footrest subassembly. The cover element has an exposed surface formed for engagement with the patient. The seat subassembly supports the seat cushion and is secured to the upper element of the frame assembly. The frame assembly is configured to support the seat subassembly relative to the floor in a lowered position thereof, in a raised position thereof, in intermediate seat positions therebetween, and in Trendelenburg positions.

Abstract: In some examples, a network controller includes a flow repository and a consistency verification engine. The flow repository may store a dataflow configuration previously specified by an application. The consistency verification engine may access the dataflow configuration from the flow repository, retrieve flow table entries from a flow table of a network device, identify an inconsistency between the dataflow configuration previously specified by the application and the flow table entries of the network device, and respond to the identified inconsistency.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media with executable instructions stored thereon are provided for applying server profile templates. A method includes providing a user interface (UI) to define a template. The template includes a template identifier, a common configuration, and a list of server profiles which share the common configuration. The method further includes using the UI to create a number of server profiles. The template is applied to server profiles such that changes to the common configuration are replicated across all associated server profiles, including associated server profiles with different physical connections.

Abstract: Migration of profiles between virtual connect domains is described. In an example, a plurality of validations are performed on a profile from a first virtual connect domain virtualizing devices using a first configuration. The profile is updated based on a second virtual connect domain virtualizing devices using a second configuration. The profile is moved for use by a device in the second virtual connect domain.

Abstract: A cement-based composition which comprises a mixture of a hyrdratable, cement-based composition and a compound comprising a metallic cationic species, the compound being in particulate form, the particles of the particulate compound having a lipid coating.

Abstract: The present paper proposes the production process of an inorganic medium, particulate, regeneratable, and able to remove contaminants by catalytic oxidation or reduction, as well as heavy metals removal by absorption from superficial, subterranean or dirty waters. The specific material is constituted by a composite of porous inorganic particles, on which surface it occurs the deposition of gamma dioxide manganese or epsilon manganese, the product showing a great selectivity and a high capacity, and may be produced into different granulometries, porosities and densities, and may also be produced specifically to meet different requirements of separators projects.
