Abstract: The instant disclosure provides a process for preparing a lubricant or fuel additive mixture where an oil of lubricating viscosity or fuel are blended with additives that are mixed via an acoustic mixer. The additives and oil of lubricating viscosity or fuel can mixed together or any component of the lubricant or fuel additive mixture can be mixed separately prior to mixing to form the final lubricant. The process provides for continuous mixing to form lubricant and/or fuel additive mixture final products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for automating processes, and in particular to a system for optimizing the distribution of work items among available processing resources within such a system. The system includes an active queue controller, executed on an application server that manages the creation and deletion of virtual machines on available resources while querying a data store for work items and instructions for executing that automated processes.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a method for cancer treatment by in vivo priming and activation of natural killer cells for achieving tumor cell lysis. The method includes introducing into a patient a priming tumor cell preparation (PTCP) derived from a first tumor cell line, which is irradiated to inactivate the first tumor cells or a membrane preparation thereof, the first tumor cells having known priming ligands on the membrane surface thereof. The patient's rest NK cells are contacted by the PTCP in vivo, resulting in primed NK cells, which are characterized by upregulation of CD69, shedding of CD16, or a combination of CD69+ and CD16?. These primed NK cells then contact second tumor cells, the cancer, and are configured to lyse and kill the second tumor cells.

Abstract: A measurement device for measuring a vertical distance between a first point and a second point includes: an elongate body extending from a first end to a second end that is distal from the first end; a leveling mechanism located at the second end of the elongate body, the leveling mechanism configured to orient the measurement device at two or more pre-determined angles relative to a vertical orientation of the measurement device; and two or more scales displaying units of measurement along a length of the elongate body. Units of measurement of each of the two or more scales correspond to a vertical distance between the first point and the second point.
