Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind and inhibit TREM-1 signaling, wherein the antibodies do not bind to one or more Fc?Rs and do not induce the myeloid cells to produce inflammatory cytokines. Also provided are uses of such antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for enabling any sandboxed user-defined function code to securely access the Internet via a cloud data platform. A remote procedure call is received by a cloud data platform from a user-defined function (UDF) executing within a sandbox process. The UDF includes code related to at least one operation to be performed. The cloud data platform provides an overlay network to establish a secure egress path for UDF external access. The cloud data platform enables the UDF executing in the sandbox process to initiate a network call.

Abstract: Various welding systems including a welding torch assembly are provided. The welding torch assemblies may include a welding torch adapted to be utilized in a welding operation to establish a welding arc between the welding torch and a workpiece. The welding torch assemblies may also include a temperature sensing system integral with the welding torch and adapted to sense a temperature of the workpiece.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for delivering both PMP communications, for example standard cellular communications via a base station, and also delivering P2P communications, for example, communications between two mobile stations, using the same spectral resources for both types of communication.

Abstract: Embodiments of a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding torch with an improved air cooled handle are provided. The welding torch may include a body, a cable assembly, and a torch head, with a handle placed over the body and the cable assembly. The handle may feature a curved end designed to fit near the torch head without contacting the torch head, providing a closer gripping point to allow greater control of the torch. In addition, the handle may be spaced from the body and the cable assembly to form an air space within the handle through which air may flow to cool the handle.

Abstract: A wireless communication access path exists between an ingress station and an egress station. A logical communication tunnel is established between the ingress and egress stations directly or through any number of intermediate relay stations to handle session flows of PDUs. As PDUs arrive, the ingress station may determine and add information bearing on an identified QoS associated with the PDU to the PDUs before they are delivered to the downstream egress station(s) or intermediate relay station(s). The information may be used by the downstream stations to schedule the PDUs for further delivery. The information may also be used by the egress station to schedule the PDUs for delivery.

Abstract: A connector for connecting together a welding torch power cable including a threaded connector, a coolant line and a shielding gas line to a welding power and/or coolant source including a connector receptacle includes an electrically conductive tubular body having a front end and a back end. The tubular body front end is adapted to receive and connect to the power cable threaded connector. The tubular body back end is adapted to connect to the connector receptacle. The tubular body also includes a passageway therein to communicate shielding gas or coolant between the source and the torch. A hose connector is attached at an end of the passageway. A casing including a longitudinally extending tubular side wall terminates in front and back ends. A twist cap is releasably connectable to the back end of the casing. A cable cover adapter is releasably connectable to the front end of the casing.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing efficient communications between two mobile stations served by the same base station or relay station are provided. A base station maintains information identifying which mobile stations it is serving. When a connection is set up between two mobile stations, if they are both being served by the same base station, the base station forwards traffic directly between the two mobile stations without forwarding it on to higher level network entities.

Abstract: Security in wireless communication networks that employ relay stations to facilitate communications between base stations and mobile stations is enhanced. In one embodiment, resource information provided to one or more relay stations from a base station or another relay station is encrypted prior to being delivered to the one or more relay stations. Only authorized relay stations are allocated an appropriate key necessary to decrypt the resource information. As such, only appropriate relay stations are able to access and use the resource information to effect communications directly or indirectly between the base stations and the mobile stations. In certain embodiments, the resource information is delivered between the various base and relay stations using either unicast or multicast delivery techniques.
