Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining a distribution system's hosting capacity for distributed power generation. Hosting capacity may be assessed on a feeder-by-feeder basis. Performing a hosting capacity assessment may include randomly selecting spot load points in a feeder as candidates for installation of distributed power generation sources. The hosting capacity assessment may be repeated a number of times to ensure optimal results and to correct for any violations of system performance parameters caused by an addition of distributed power generation at a given spot load point.

Abstract: This application describes an apparatus and a method for the treatment of a damaged lung, heart, or other organ or tissue using cells contained in the apparatus and a liquid interface that allows communication with the circulation of the damaged organ or tissue. The apparatus can be used to treat the organ inside or outside the body. The apparatus is designed to sit outside the body but a similar apparatus is envisioned that is implantable. The apparatus contains a porous material or matrix that the cells are grown on, and the volume of the apparatus provides that it can contain a therapeutically useful number of cells in the range 0.5×10e6 to 200×10e6.

Abstract: A description is given of a whitish whole flour and a process for producing said flour, whereby said process involves: (a) supplying a quantity of conditioned wheat grain; (b) fractionating the wheat grain to obtain endosperm, bran, and germ; (c) separating and distributing the endosperm, bran, and germ to allow them to be treated; (d) milling the endosperm that is obtained in step (c) in order to homogenize the particle size to approximately 150-180 microns; (e) treating the germ in order to reduce the reactivity of the lipids contained therein; (f) treating the bran obtained in step (c) by: (f-i) separating the stream of bran coming from step (c) in order to produce a fine bran and a coarse bran, and (f-ii) milling the coarse bran from step (f-i) in order to obtain a pulverized bran with a particle diameter of approximately 180 microns; (g) mixing the endosperm from step (d), the germ from step (e), the fine bran from step (f-i), and the pulverized bran from step (f-ii) in a measurable and controlled manner

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure can provide a system that includes a knowledge model configured to represent a knowledge society entity with a specific context, a semantic engine, and a plurality of processors. The processors are configured to implement software instructions that instruct the semantic engine to operate a contextual knowledge society network according to the knowledge model. The knowledge model is configured to semantically represent elements and links of the elements under the specific context.

Abstract: A strait jacket is disclosed, which is adapted to fit wearers of more than one clothing size. The strait jacket has a jacket torso body comprising at least two panels, each panel terminating at a lower edge located adjacent to but below the wearer's underarms. Sleeves extend from the torso body to distal ends, and each sleeve has a length greater than the length of the wearer's arms. The distal end of each sleeve includes a fastening device to permit the sleeve to be fastened to the opposite sleeve and to a belt by suitable fasteners at a position behind the wearer's back. An annular jacket collar is located above the jacket torso body, and a strap extends downwardly from the collar. In one embodiment of the invention, the strap extends under the wearer's crotch. A belt strap is adapted to be secured about the wearer's mid rib cage and is further adapted to be attached to the chest strap at a posterior position; and, if desired, at an anterior position.

Abstract: Allows for the use of any type of mobile telephone as an activating equipment for payment devices using any mobile telephone network employing any technology in any country connected to the system. Includes a group of payment and operations processing centres (1) in different countries, which are interconnected through international addressing processors (2) to carry out transactions and payments among users-payers and beneficiaries associated to the system in either the same or different countries. The centres (1) have a specific structure in order to allow for different types of purchases, consultations, modifications and the authentication of payment devices. The invention allows for all of the different messages exchanged to use voice messaging. In addition the invention allows for the use of a mobile telephone of a beneficiary/merchant as a POS (22) to carry out transactions.
