Abstract: A professional video converter is a video signal processing device built for audio-video applications to convert from one video format to another. It includes a heavy-duty enclosure, an electronic circuit to convert/distribute/scale/buffer/amplify video and/or audio and an internal power supply unit. The power supply comes from a mains-level electrical input connector. An additional electrical output connector may be added to power extra equipment. The unit can be installed and suspended safely, thanks to a built-in rigging thread and attachment points on its enclosure. The unit may be placed securely on any surface using the rubber pad, and magnets allow clean stacking of multiple devices. The connectors are also protected by the specific shape of the enclosure of the converter.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present technique may in a method for generating a report related to the transferability of an application to a cloud computing environment. The method may include receiving data related to characteristics of the application. The method may include comparing, via a processor, the data received to predetermined dimensions related to the transferability of an application to a cloud computing environment to determine a comparison value indicating how close the data is to each dimension. The method may include generating, via the processor, a report based on the comparison.

Abstract: A spanning truss for hanging a load has an elongated beam frame including two sides, each having an elongated top chord and an elongated bottom chord connected by a plurality of diagonal web members, and wherein the two sides are connected between respective top chords by a plurality of straight web members and a plurality of X-shaped braces connected between respective top chords and bottom chords.

Abstract: A strapping system is used to strap loads to the deck of trailers and/or trucks. The system includes a pair of rollers supported by a frame above the deck which extend in a longitudinal direction of the deck. Strapping is rolled onto the rollers. Anchors at the free ends of the strapping can be secured along opposing sides of the deck. A tightener in the form of a crank and ratchet mechanism is coupled to the rollers for tensioning the strapping spanning between the rollers and the free ends anchored to the sides of the deck. The load, for example large round bales, is retained beneath the strapping under tension. The tightener permits common tensioning of all strapping of each roller in a single, time saving operation to ensure loads readily secured before transport.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid sequence comprising a first DNA sequence comprising a cis-acting replication element (CARE) from an Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV), and a second DNA sequence operably linked to said CARE, wherein amplification of said isolated nucleic acid sequence occurs when said isolated nucleic acid sequence is integrated in the genome of a cell and said cell is contacted with a CARE-dependent replication unducer (CARE-DRI). It also relates to amplification methods using a CARE-dependent replication inducer (CARE-DRI) and packaging cell-lines wherein replication of the integrated rep and cap genes is inducible by a CARE-DRI.
