Abstract: A tappet having a contiguous body, an outer wall and transverse web. The outer wall defines a cylindrically-shaped outer surface and a recess. The recess is disposed within cylindrical surface of the body. An alignment member is press-fit between two staked ends of the recess, which engage opposite sides of the alignment member. The alignment member extends outwardly from the cylindrically-shaped surface. A roller is mounted to the contiguous body at the cam contacting end of the tappet.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided that is amphibious to include submersible operations. The vehicle has wings configured to generate a sufficient dive force to oppose buoyancy of the vehicle, when desired, which are disposed on opposing sides of a central hull. The vehicle is configured to enable easy transition from land operations to water operations, to include water surface travel as well as submerged travel.

Abstract: Methods (300), proxy servers (110, 410), systems, apparatus and computer program products for delivering time-based media to a client device in a communications network (150) are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a proxy server (110, 410) receives (300) a request for a media file using transfer protocol such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) from a wireless client device (120, 420). The proxy server (110, 410) obtains (312) headers for at least two media files using HTTP provided by one or more media servers (140, 170, 440, 442). The proxy server (110, 410) transmits (314) to the wireless client device (120, 420) using HTTP a header of a virtual media file derived from the headers of the at least two media files. The proxy server (110, 410) receives (316) from the wireless client device (120, 420) using HTTP a request for the virtual media file in response to the header of the virtual media file.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with combinations of a proteasome inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor with combined activity on class-I and class-IIb histone deacetylases, for inhibiting the growth of tumor cells, useful in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: A generic data over cable system configures different cable and/or non-cable network infrastructures to operate in a data over cable environment. In one embodiment, a Modular Cable Modem Termination System (M-CMTS) core is coupled to one or more physical gateways over a packet switched network. The physical gateways are connected to endpoints over either a cable or non-cable network infrastructure. An adaptation layer configures the physical gateways and the associated endpoints so that cable applications and cable subscriber services can operate over either the cable or non-cable network infrastructures.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with combinations of a proteasome inhibitor and a class-I specific histone deacetylase inhibitor for inhibiting the growth of tumor cells, useful in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of some of the macrocyclic quinazoline derivatives described in PCT publication WO2004/105765 as inhibitors of VEGFR3 mediated biological activities, especially those activities which are mediated by VEGFR3 ligands VEGF-C and/or VEGF-D.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the finding that some the macrocyclic quinazoline derivative 4,6-ethanediylidenepyrimido[4,5-b][6,1,12]benzoxadiazacyclo-pentadecine, 17-bromo-8,9,10,11,12,13,14,19-octahydro-20-methoxy-13-methyl-, described as compound 22 in PCT publication W02004/105765, is useful in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of a primary brain cancer or brain metastasis. It accordingly provides methods for treating, preventing, delaying or mitigating brain cancer, or for preventing or slowing proliferation of cells of brain origin.

Abstract: A rules system for creating rules to an expert system is provided, the rules system providing a user-friendly, guided process for creating such rules.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for administering a distribution channel for the promotion and sale of products and services. Content from vendors is maintained in a central repository and administered by the distribution channel manager. Tools are provided for members of the distribution channel to build their own customized web sites for providing consumers access to the content in the central repository as well as their own proprietary information. Sales leads are generated and tracked and routed to the consortium member agencies.

Abstract: A network test and measurement system including a data acquisition system that receives frames from a network under test. An analyzer executes software analyzing the output of the data acquisition system. A wireless interface for receiving commands that control the operation of the software.

Abstract: A method of determining dough strength and predicting loaf quality is herein described. The method involves propagating an ultrasound signal through a sample of dough and determining the transit time and amplitude of the ultrasound signal, and hence the ultrasonic velocity and attenuation. These data are then used to determine dough strength and predict product quality.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for dissolving a gas in a liquid, the apparatus comprising (a) a closed vessel containing a liquid at a predetermined level, (b) a contactor module at least partially immersed in the liquid having (1) a gas supply channel to the bore side of the fibers, (2) a liquid supply channel to the shell side of the fibers, and (3) an exit port for transport of a gas-containing liquid, and (c) the remaining space in the closed vessel being occupied by a pressurized gas. The liquid prepared in the apparatus of the present invention containing a dissolved gas, is used to prepare beverages, such as coffee, tea, soda, chocolate and the like, whether hot or cold.

Abstract: A rules system for creating rules to an expert system is provided, the rules system providing a user-friendly, guided process for creating such rules.

Abstract: A device that transports people or cargo or equipment that has an exterior surface that has a plurality of closely spaced apart dimple depressions on some or all its surfaces whereby they reduce the surface tension stickiness on said surfaces when said devise moves through water, air or on snow or ice.

Abstract: A three-dimensional surface shape is produced from input numerical data. The shape of an elastic surface is determined by the positions of a first matrix of memory rods. The position of each of the memory rods is determined by a flexible sheet which is contoured by a second matrix of control rods and is computer-controlled. After control rods transfer the contour data to the memory rods, the control rods are reset to receive new contour data. Both the memory rod and control rod are fitted with two pneumatically controlled locking mechanisms, one for the X-coordinate and one for the Y-coordinate. When both locks on a particular rod are released the rod is free to move to a new position determined by an elevator. Once all of the rods have been adjusted, they are locked in position and the surface has been configured.
