Abstract: A method is for determining the effect of a selected treatment administered to a patient. The method includes acquiring VOC-emission-data of pre-treatment-target-cells-cultures and producing a pre-treatment-target cells-VOC-profile from the VOC-emission of the pre-treatment-target-cells-cultures. An MCD-target-cells-VOC-profile can be produced by inducing MCD on non-treated target-cells-cultures thereby producing post-MCD-target-cells-cultures and acquiring VOC-emission-data of the post-MCD-target-cells-cultures. The selected treatment is applied to target-cells-cultures and VOC-emission-data of post-treatment-target-cells-cultures is acquired.

Abstract: A method of forming a conduit having at least one strip-shaped fabric substrate dividing the conduit into channels. The method contains obtaining an extrusion die configured to form the wall of the conduit and a slot configured for receipt of a strip-shaped fabric substrate and introducing a strip-shaped fabric substrate into the slot. The strip-shaped textile is air permeable and contains enlarged regions at the first and second longitudinal edges. Molten polymer is introduced at a first point in the extrusion die and at the first point the slot and the area configured to form the wall of the conduit are not in communication. The slot is exposed to the molten polymer at a point between the first point and the die exit forming the first polymeric layer of the conduit such that the first longitudinal and second longitudinal edges of the strip-shaped fabric substrate embed into the molten polymer.

Abstract: An electromagnetic shielded sleeve containing a multilayer composite material formed in such a way as to define at least one longitudinal channel configured to enclose and carry a cable. The multilayer composite material contains a first textile, an electromagnetic shielding material, and a second textile, where the electromagnetic shielding material is located between the first textile and the second textile.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for making a conduit divided into channels by one or more strip-shaped substrates. The channels may be used for cables, such as fiber optic cables, coaxial cables, electrical cables, electrical wiring, and the like. Each divided conduit provides channels that allow e.g., cables to be pulled through without snagging or excessive heat build-up due to friction. In addition, the divided conduits do not allow contact or alternation losses between adjacent cables in other channels of the conduit.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a conduit having at least one strip-shaped substrate dividing the conduit into channels. The apparatus contains an extrusion die having an exit and defining a flow direction for polymeric material forming the conduit. The extrusion die contains a first point for the introduction into the extrusion die of polymeric material forming a first polymeric layer of the conduit, a second point for the introduction into the extrusion die of polymeric material forming a second polymeric layer of the conduit, and a slot within the extrusion die having a thickness, a width, a first edge, and a second edge. The slot is configured for receipt of a strip-shaped substrate and extends in the flow direction along the extrusion die. The thickness of the slot varies along the width of the slot and the thickness of the slot is greatest at the first edge and second edge of the slot.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system to enable dynamic replication of Web servers across a wide area in response to access patterns by Web clients as well as in response to customer requests. The method for dynamically replicating one or more parent nodes on a network in response to a user request by a policy manager. The policy manager transmits the user request to an event module. The event module transmits the user request to a data consistency module, wherein the data consistency module maintains integrity of the data on the parent node. The event system communicates with a resource management module to ensure proper utilization of network resources, and transmits the routing request to a request routing module for appropriately balancing the network load. The request routing module is capable of providing optimal routing based on the network resources.

Abstract: Provided herein are flexible, low friction innerduct structures configured to contain at least one cable within a conduit. The innerduct structures, or conduit inserts, include one or more strip-shaped panels of flexible material that are joined to define at least one channel through which a cable can extend. The innerduct structures preferably are formed from a woven textile fabric having warp yarns that are monofilaments and fill yarns that are an alternating pattern of monofilament yarns and multifilament yarns. Such construction increases the flexibility of the fabric, as compared to previous innerduct fabrics, resulting in a reduction of the pulling force required to draw the cable through the innerduct and into position.
