Abstract: A cylindrical reactor for a flow battery includes a solid anode body with through-holes through which hollow membrane tubes extend. The hollow membrane tubes surround cathodic wires. A first electrolyte is pumped in from a first electrolyte tank between the cathodic wires and the hollow membrane tubes, while a second electrolyte is pumped in from a second electrolyte tank between the hollow membrane tubes and the surrounding portion of the solid anode body. Redox half reactions between the first electrolyte and the second electrolyte are thereby able to happen across the hollow membrane tubes.

Abstract: Methods of making orally available softgels includes pre-wetting a probiotic with an edible oil to produce a wetted supplement, wherein the edible oil is present in a range of 25% to 75% by weight of a total weight of the probiotic and edible oil, heating the wetted supplement to a temperature in a range of 35° C. to 40° C., blending the wetted supplement and a molten chocolate component together to produce a liquid fill material, encapsulating the liquid fill material in a softgel coating to produce an orally available softgel, and cooling the orally available softgel to have a softgel capsule shell comprising 5% to 15% by weight water. The fill material is a solid at room temperature in the cooled orally available softgel.

Abstract: A disclosed example method involves, when a device is operating in a stationary mode and before a need of the device to communicate data, determining whether a stored timing advance is valid. When the stored timing advance is not valid, a valid timing advance is determined before the need of the device to communicate the data.

Abstract: A charging health monitoring device for monitoring a health of a charging component for an electric vehicle includes a testing sensor held by a charging terminal and including a testing probe interfacing with a mating charging terminal. The charging health monitoring device includes a control circuit for controlling a charging operation and a testing operation. The control circuit measures a terminal voltage of the charging terminal and a sensor voltage of the testing sensor to determine resistance of the charging terminal and provide a test signal. The control circuit includes an electrically isolated switch receiving the test signal and generating a control signal based on the test signal for controlling a charging operation of the charging component. The control circuit performs the testing operation simultaneously with the charging operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting resistance on an exercise apparatus include a first resistance apparatus having an adjusting bracket, magnetic members mounted on an inner surface of the adjusting bracket, a stepper motor having an adjusting shaft and operable to traverse a portion of the length of the adjusting shaft. At a first position, the magnetic members are disposed above a flywheel, and in a second position, the magnetic members are disposed on opposite sides of the flywheel, providing resistance thereto. A load cell couples the adjusting bracket to the frame and generates a signal corresponding to the movement of the adjusting bracket. A computing system calculates resistance, rpms, power from load cell signal, stepper motor position, shaft rotational position and other sensor inputs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds with high chemical stability and methods for inhibiting the pathological activity of NETs in a subject. In particular, the invention relates to compounds with high chemical stability, uses thereof and methods for inhibiting or ameliorating NET mediated ailments (such as, for example, sepsis, systemic immune response syndrome (SIRS) and ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI)). More particularly, the invention relates to methods and uses of a polyanionic sulfated cellobioside modified with a small uncharged glycosidically linked substituent at its reducing terminus, wherein the presence of the substituent results in a molecule with high chemical stability without affecting the ability of the molecule to be effective in the therapy of NET mediated ailments. For example, the present invention relates to methods and uses of ?-O-methyl cellobioside sulfate (mCBS) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., mCBS.

Abstract: In an access device associated with a first network cell, a method for enabling user equipment (UE) to obtain a service unavailable through the first network cell includes receiving a request for the UE to access the service, and identifying, in a message to the UE, a plurality of second network cells providing the service.

Abstract: A disclosed example method involves, when a device is operating in a stationary mode and before a need of the device to communicate data, determining whether a stored timing advance is valid. When the stored timing advance is not valid, a valid timing advance is determined before the need of the device to communicate the data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems of metadata management for reviewing data from microscopy experimental sessions. Image data from an experimental session is stored in an archive at one or more filepath locations, either locally or on a network. Metadata associated with the image data is stored in a database with a reference to the filepath where the raw image is stored, such that the metadata is associated in the database with the image data. A user can perform post-experimental filtering, sorting, and searching of the underlying image data using the metadata, which allows the image data to be analyzed without duplication of the image data and without manual review of each individual image. The filtered data is presented in an interactive timeline format.

Abstract: The present invention provides highly permeable and porous polybenzimidazole membranes. methods of making them, and their application as a high-performance membrane support for gas separation composite membranes. The polybenzimidazole membranes are bonded to a fabric substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for selectively managing different temporal and/or spatial resolution images and metadata collected during a transmission electron microscope (TEM) session.
