Abstract: Aspects of a geogrid system and method for improving substrate interactions within a geotechnical environment is disclosed. In one aspect a geotechnical environment is configured with a horizontal multilayer mechanically stabilizing geogrid. In said aspect the geogrid is extruded with a polymeric material and a compressible cellular layer, wherein the geogrid comprises a heightened aspect ratio with a patterned structure of engineered discontinuities and a plurality of strong axes. The combination of elements provides for a system and method of stabilizing soils and aggregate, by resisting lateral movement from the strong axes, and trapping particles in the patterned structure of engineered discontinuities.

Abstract: The technology relates to a memory insertion machine for inserting memory modules into memory sockets on a circuit board. The memory insertion machine may include one or more insertion rods moveably mounted to one or more vertical guides, one or more profilometers, and an insertion controller. The insertion controller may be configured to apply an insertion force to a memory module in a memory socket, by controlling the movement of the one or more insertion rods on the one or more vertical guides. The insertion controller may be further configured to determine, based on information received from the one or more profilometers, a measured distance between a top of the memory module and a top of the memory socket.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and methods for delivering agents to a solid tissue.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for the generation of monoclonal antibodies. In particular the invention relates to a novel method for the generation of monoclonal antibodies from non-human somatic transgenic animals. Uses of antibodies generated using the method of the invention are also described.

Abstract: One feature of the present invention provides a content management system that can handle a wide variety requests by using different types of items with differing attributes. The content management maintains a set of tables to manage the items. A first table is used to index or catalog each of the items and its type. A second table is used to store the attributes of each type of item. The attributes specify information about the item's type and may also include a partial SQL statement. When needed, the content management system may then use these tables to determine an item's type, retrieve the attributes for that type, obtain a partial SQL statement from the attributes, and dynamically build a SQL statement to process a wide variety of requests or commands.

Abstract: The present invention provides a way to efficiently validate and process requests, such as deletion requests, that affect items having associated objects in a content management system. When the request is received, a timestamp for the item is retrieved. A timestamp for any objects affected by the request are then retrieved and checked against the timestamp for the item. The request is then completed on the item and objects based on the respective timestamps for the item and the objects.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for passing parameters of data structures where an API and corresponding stored procedures are at different version/release levels. A received data structure is parsed for a version identifier of a caller. The parsed version identifier is compared to a stored procedure version identifier and a determination is made with regards to a data structure compatibility or a data structure incompatibility. If a data structure compatibility is determined, all received data structure elements are parsed. If, however, a data structure incompatibility is determined, only data structure elements known to both the caller and the stored procedures are parsed.

Abstract: A table insert blade positioner for insertion into a work table of a scroll saw having a scroll saw blade with a cutting edge and a non-cutting edge including a plate having a blade slot to permit a scroll saw blade to travel therethrough said plate insertable into the work table of the scroll saw, the plate having an upper surface and a lower surface; and a blade support structure attached to the lower surface of the plate for limiting the longitudinal motion of the scroll saw blade, wherein the blade support structure is positioned to make contact with the non-cutting edge of the scroll saw blade when sufficient pressure is exerted on the scroll saw blade in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: Signatures fresh from the printing press are fed in a shingled stream toward and then dropped one by one into a hopper which may feed a gathering chain. The signatures are "broken" (unstuck) by first stacking them edgewise on horizontal support, shingling them in a constant stream by an unusual form of suction feed, bending the shingled stream and thereafter cascading the stream into the hopper.
