Abstract: A modular system and method for improving the receiving, processing, storing, and transloading of bulk materials such as organic waste. A system includes at least a receiving module to receive material, a storage module, a discharge module, and a control system. A liquid capture system captures and retains liquid from the organic material. Systems can be adapted with additional modules, such as processing modules and transfer modules, depending on the site and materials to be handled. The storage module has a levelling component for levelling out the organic material stored therein, including a levelling conveyor in a top region, and a removal component for discharging the organic material. A control system interfaces with the modular components and local operators, and provides remote reporting and monitoring.

Abstract: This present disclosure relates to antibodies which bind to soluble forms of MICA and/or MICB protein, compositions comprising the antibodies, and use of the antibodies for diagnostics and in treatment of diseases characterized by elevated level of a MIC protein.

Abstract: This present disclosure relates to binding agents, particularly antibodies, which bind to MICA and/or MICB; compositions comprising the binding agents; and use of the binding agents for diagnostics and in treatments of diseases characterized by elevated MICA and/MICB proteins.

Abstract: MICA and MICB are expressed on the surface of stressed, virus infected and cancer cells; they bind to their common receptor NKG2D on immune effector cells such as natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells to signal immune responses, including cytotoxicity, towards cells expressing surface MICA or MICB. To evade this immune-surveillance, virus infected cells and cancer cells shed the extracellular domain of their MICA and MICB as soluble forms (sMICA and sMICB) which act as decoys by binding and down-regulating expression of NKG2D on the immune effector cells. Antibodies are provided that specifically bind the soluble forms of both MICA and MICB to inhibit their adverse effects, but do not bind cell- or membrane-bound MICA and MICB to preserve their beneficial immune effects.

Abstract: A camera event logger device coupled to a motion picture camera, including: a data port configured to receive control signals to manage the logger device including a particular receive frequency; a radio-frequency receiver configured to receive time signal of the particular receive frequency to enable fine adjustment of a timecode; a timecode manager including a plurality of timecode readers and at least one timecode generator, a first timecode reader of the plurality of timecode readers configured to receive the time signal from the radio-frequency receiver and make the time signal available to the at least one timecode generator, wherein the at least one timecode generator is configured to generate the timecode by conditioning the time signal, the timecode manager configured to receive camera timecode from the motion picture camera, and to send back adjusted camera timecode adjusted in accordance with the conditioned timecode; a processor configured to receive camera status information from the motion pictu

Abstract: In one aspect, a mobile browser may be used to facilitate tethering of a client computing device to a mobile device. A first data connection may be opened between a client computing device seeking internet access and a browser application executing in the mobile browser. A second data connection may be opened between the browser application executing in the browser and an internet server. The browser application may automatically relay internet-destined data received from the client device to the internet server and may further automatically relay internet-originated data received from the internet server to the client device. In another aspect, a gateway identifier identifying a gateway for accessing the internet via a wireless LAN data connection may be modified or deleted to cause the mobile device to use a cellular data network data connection, rather than the wireless LAN data connection, for relaying internet-destined data from the client computing device.
