Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for adaptively associating a percentile value to each of a plurality of subcarriers at which a cable modem communicates data, the percentiles value used to respectively determine an aggregated RxMER value for each subcarrier. The aggregated RxMER values for the subcarriers may be used to determine and assign one or more bitloading profiles to the cable modem.

Abstract: Systems and methods for aggregating samples of Proactive Network Maintenance (PNM) data representing state information of a communications network. Each sample may be associated with one of a plurality of different frequency ranges, where the samples are aggregated over a temporal range and aggregated over a frequency range. The data aggregated in this manner may then be used to configure the network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain substituted bicyclic compounds that are agonists of RXR and which are therefore useful in the treatment of certain disorders that can be prevented or treated by activation of this receptor. In addition the invention relates to the compounds, methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and the uses of these compounds in the treatment of certain disorders.

Abstract: Recommendation control techniques using incremental matrix factorization and clustering are described. User latent factors and item latent factors are computed from data that denotes ratings associated with the users regarding respective ones of the plurality of items of digital content. Data is obtained that describes interaction of a particular one of the users with at least one respective item of the digital content. A plurality of clusters is formed using the user latent factors. The recommendations are generated using the user latent factors and the item latent factors for each of the plurality of clusters. Further, at least one of recommendations is located based on comparison of a user identifier of a subsequent user with the plurality of clusters. Interaction of the subsequent user with the digital content is controlled based on the located at least one of the recommendations.

Abstract: Systems and methods which implement synchronization across hierarchical targets by ordering elements in a hierarchical target in order of hierarchical depth and propagating a first set of element changes based upon the hierarchical order of elements and a second set of element changes based upon a non-hierarchical order of elements priority are shown. A child attribute data model is utilized with respect to hierarchical data structures for which synchronization is provided in which hierarchy relationships are represented as an attribute of the child according to embodiments.

Abstract: The present invention provides relates to a process to produce egg yolk antibodies binding to small molecule organochlorine pesticides, by periodic immunization of the poultry birds with a desired hapten-protein conjugate in the breast muscle. Antibodies are harvested from egg yolk after five weeks interval.

Abstract: Oil and gas industry employs a large quantity of hardware in its operations. They require periodic repair, maintenance and modification. Many of these hardware are located beyond direct human access and in inhospitable environment. The traditional solution methods are handicapped, in most cases, by inevitable guesses as to the nature of problems; solutions tend to be less efficient and cost effective due to lack of direct, real time control. The present invention, consisting of a combined system and process, alleviates those problems by extending a remote operator's visual contact and operations control to work area. It combines the principles of oil field operations, coiled tubing, robotics and video technologies. A working tool, 22, is conveyed to work area at the end of a coiled tubing, 20. The working tool, 22, is operated remotely from command center, 12, by operator. Working tool, 22, contains cameras, grinder, wire brush, welder, mounted on teleoperators and servomechanism to control them.
