Abstract: Compound B is shown to promote angiogenesis, specifically, budding of capillaries. The combination of Compound B and with human growth factor, such as bFGF, shows synergistic angiogenetic effects.

Abstract: A method to provide and implement a collision avoidance system for a vehicle. The method includes receiving a buffer zone boundary input defining a buffer zone at an on-board processor in the vehicle from a controlling supervisor, calculating a positively invariant set based on vehicle states and dynamic characteristics, the positively invariant set operable to define a protection zone enclosed within the buffer zone and centered about the vehicle, determining an object is traversing the buffer zone boundary; and implementing an emergency maneuver procedure after a collision avoidance maneuver fails, wherein the object does not enter the protection zone.

Abstract: A method for controlling the maneuvering of an autonomous vehicle in a network having a plurality of autonomous vehicles is provided. The method comprises monitoring the state of the autonomous vehicle. The method also comprises periodically receiving data on the states of a subset of the plurality of autonomous vehicles and periodically determining at least one command to a control loop for the autonomous vehicle based on the monitored state and the data from the subset of the plurality of autonomous vehicles.
