Abstract: Compounds that include silicon-containing groups, and optionally urethane groups, urea groups, or combinations thereof (i.e., polyurethanes, polyureas, or polyurethane-ureas), as well as materials and methods for making such compounds.

Abstract: Piperidine derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof useful in methods of treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly in man.

Abstract: Polyol polyesters useful as nondigestible fat substitutes are prepared by improved heterogeneous interesterification processes between fatty acid esters of easily removable alcohol and polyol characterized by having one or more improvements such as using low levels of soap emulsifying agent, catalyst, and/or excess fatty acid ester; reducing the size of the polyol by mechanical means; removing extraneous particulate material during the reaction; using low temperature and/or high pressure and compensating by increasing the mass transfer area; and/or using backmixing in the initial stage(s) and plug-flow conditions in the final stage(s).

Abstract: Compensation for patient rotation between planning and treatment in a radiation therapy machine is provided by angled translation of a table surface on which the patient is supported without actual patient rotation.

Abstract: A system stores pedigrees that include details of how and when each of multiple blocks of encryption key material were distributed between two endpoints using quantum cryptographic techniques. The system receives an indication of a possible quantum cryptographic security violation and accesses the stored pedigrees to identify one or more of the multiple blocks of encryption key material that may have been compromised.

Abstract: Piperidine derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof useful in methods of treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly man.

Abstract: A multichannel, surface parallel, zonal transducer system includes a membrane and a compound transducer mounted on the membrane, the compound transducer including a plurality of transducer elements extending generally parallel to the membrane, interconnected in a closed network and individually addressable.

Abstract: Methods and systems for digitally generating sound from phase and amplitude information of a narrow bandwidth signal, such as a narrow bandwidth locator signal. Phase-derivative information is determined from the phase information. The bandwidth of the phase-derivative information is spread out, or stretched, over a wider bandwidth, so that the frequency variations will be more perceptible to users. The result is combined with an audio band carrier frequency, the result of which controls an oscillator. The oscillator output is combined with the amplitude information to generate an analog audio signal that is modulated with the amplitude information and the phase-derivative information. The amplitude information wider bandwidth phase-derivative information are used to modulate an audio carrier in both frequency and amplitude.

Abstract: Cyclohexane and cyclohexene derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof useful in methods of treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly man.

Abstract: A termite monitoring and baiting station (10) has a housing (20), with a removable cover (30), defining a cavity (24) to receive one or more pieces of termite attractant material (50), eg., mountain ash. The termite attractant material (50) may partially extend outwardly through holes (26,28) in the side wall (21) of the container (20) and has grooves (53) to increase the effective surface area and to provide tracks for the termites. When termite activity is noted, a termite toxicant bait (60) is placed in the cavity (24), to enable the termites to carry the bait material (62) back to their colonies.

Abstract: Aminopiperidine derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof useful in methods of treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly in man.

Abstract: Compensation for patient rotation between planning and treatment in a radiation therapy machine is provided by angled translation of a table surface on which the patient is supported without actual patient rotation.

Abstract: Jumper cable bag with wordage on it so that it can double as a sign to request a jump start.

Abstract: Aminopiperidine derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof useful in methods of treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly in man.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, repeatedly send different criteria to a customer's supplier, where the different criteria move the supplier from a baseline supplier-management process toward an ideal supplier-management process. A customer sends a baseline template to a supplier, receives a report from the supplier, calculates a score based on a difference between the report and an ideal supplier-management process, selects criteria from the ideal supplier-management process based on the score, and sends the criteria to the supplier. Using the criteria in a supplier-management process moves the supplier from a baseline supplier-management process towards the ideal supplier-management process. In various embodiments, a supplier-management process is any type of development, manufacture, design, test, assembly, and/or creation process for any type of materials, components, goods, and/or services.

Abstract: For use in conjunction with an existing wireless transmitter/receiver, a transmitter provided by the invention preferably uses some or all of the same codes as the existing remote transmitter to perform a desired function such as door or trunk unlocking, windows, light activation, and so forth. One embodiment of the invention includes a passive entry system so that only an authorized operator can use the device. In a preferred embodiment, a user carries a wallet-sized card or other device, such that upon activation of the keypad associated with the inventive transmitter, a signal is first sent to the user for verification. If the card or other device carried by the user properly transponds an appropriate authorization signal, the inventive transmitter broadcasts the codes appropriate to the function being requested. Alternatively, biometric information such a fingerprint or voiceprint may be used.
