  • System and method for control and monitoring of multiple devices and inter-device connections
    Patent number: 8909779
    Abstract: A system and method for control and monitoring of devices and inter-device connections located within an environment using a control client is provided. A user creates commands via the control client to a server that maintains a representation of the environment and the devices within the environment. The server utilizes a set of policies associated with the devices to control the devices in a default manner. The user can modify or use exceptions from the policies to achieve specific tasks other than the default tasks associated with the policy. The server may further monitor and report the current states of the devices in the environment and historical changes of the devices to monitor the environment and provide reporting for such tasks such as environment monitoring.

  • ENGINE OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING AN ENGINE OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140352652
    Abstract: An engine oil supply system for a motor vehicle and a method of controlling an engine oil supply system of a motor vehicle is disclosed in which, particularly during an engine overrun period or an engine shut-down, kinetic energy from the slowing engine is used to drive an oil pump so as to store oil in an oil accumulator for later use by one or more engine components without the engine using fuel. The stored oil allows a downsized oil pump to be used thereby saving fuel by providing a supply of oil in addition to or as an alternative to the oil supplied from the oil pump.

  • Oligomers
    Publication number: 20140057964
    Abstract: Molecules are provided for inducing or facilitating exon skipping in forming spliced mRNA products from pre-mRNA molecules in cells. The molecules may be provided directly as oligonucleotides or expression products of vectors that are administered to a subject. High rates of skipping can be achieved. High rates of skipping reduce the severity of a disease like Duchene Muscular Dystrophy so that the disease is more like Becker Muscular Dystrophy. This is a severe reduction in symptom severity and mortality.

  • FLUID HEATING APPARATUS AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20140003967
    Abstract: An apparatus for heating a fluid such as engine oil includes an auxiliary pump, a conduit connected to the auxiliary pump and provides fluid communication from the auxiliary pump and an aperture in the conduit. In use the auxiliary pump contains the fluid. A first portion of the fluid is pumped into the conduit by the auxiliary pump and a second portion of the fluid remains in the auxiliary pump. The aperture restricts the flow of the first portion of the fluid in the conduit. The second portion of the fluid is heated due to friction between the second portion of the fluid and the pump. There is also described a method of heating a fluid.
