Abstract: Compounds and compositions, useful as antioxidants and in particular to selenium containing compounds of formula (I): wherein n is 1, 2, or 3; m is 2, 3, 4, or 5; and each R] is independently-(optionally substituted C1-C3 alkylene)p-OH, where p is 0 or 1, or a salt thereof. These seleno-compounds may be used in the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with increased levels of oxidants produced by myeloperoxidase (MPA), such as for instance, atherosclerosis and diabetes.

Abstract: An approach is provided for presenting an activation indicator to a user. A connection with a mobile device is detected. Retrieval is caused, at least in part, of a unique hardware identifier associated with the mobile device. It is determined that the mobile device is eligible for a service based on the unique hardware identifier. Presentation is caused, at least in part, of a visual indicator of the eligibility for the service based on the determination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and compositions useful as antioxidants and in particular to selenium containing compounds of formula (I): wherein n is 1, 2, or 3; m is 2, 3, 4, or 5; and each R] is independently —(optionally substituted C1-C3 alkylene) p-OH, where p is 0 or 1, or a salt thereof. The invention also relates to the use of these seleno-compounds in the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with increased levels of oxidants produced by myeloperoxidase (MPO), such as for instance, atherosclerosis.

Abstract: A method including receiving a user selection of a first media content, determining a second media content based on characteristics of the first media content in relation to characteristics of the second media content, and determining a third media content based on the characteristics of the second media content in relation to characteristics of the third media content. The method further includes causing, at least in part, display of a first icon representing the second media content and a second icon representing the third media content.

Abstract: Apparatus having at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon which when executed controls the at least one processor: to cause a content identifier associated with content to be displayed; to cause a first indicator and a second indicator to be displayed in association with the content identifier; to cause the first indicator to indicate whether or not the some or all of the content is stored in a first memory; to cause the second indicator to indicate whether or not some or all of the content is stored in a second memory; and to be responsive, when the first indicator indicates that none of the content is stored in the first memory and the second indicator indicates that some or all of the content is stored in the second memory, to selection of the first indicator to cause the content associated with the first content identifier to be copied from the second memory into the first memory.

Abstract: There are described a system, apparatus and/or method according to which collected history data from monitorable and/or manageable entities within a server estate or data centre is used to tailor a model to the past behaviour and/or loading upon individual ones or parts of ones of the entities. The tailored model can then be used to predict a future value for one or more metrics included in the history data for an entity or part of an entity under consideration. The predicted value can then be used to determine whether some form of corrective action is required in respect of the entity, entity part or some other entity or entity part. Alternatively or in addition, predicted values for more than one entity or entity part can be aggregated to determine whether some form of corrective action is required in respect of the entity, entity part or some other entity or entity part. A corrective action can be applied on an automated or on a manual basis.

Abstract: An approach is provided for suggesting data for transfer from an electronic data storage medium to another electronic data storage medium. An external device receives an input for specifying an amount of data to transfer from a first storage medium to a second storage medium. An external device also determines an available storage space in the second storage medium. Then, the external device generates, based on the input and the available storage space, a list of data to suggest for transfer from the first storage space to the second storage medium.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a controller, wherein the controller is arranged to display a status bar, display an indicator head on the status bar, receive input indicating a position corresponding to the indicator head, and to determine if a media file is currently being played and if so pause the playback and if not to activate the playback in response to the received input.

Abstract: A method for treating a substrate having a layer or coating of material thereon (such as for example a metal conductor coated with an insulating ‘enamel’) comprises the steps of directing a pulsed beam of laser radiation at the substrate to cause an interaction or adjacent the interface between the layer or coating and the substrate, leading to local separation of the layer or coating. The removal is effected by creating an interaction effect at the interface between the substrate and the layer or coating to create an effect similar to a shockwave which causes local separation of the layer or coating at the interface.

Abstract: Apparatus for processing an input signal comprises a first switching means and a second switching means, the first switching means comprises a first photoconductive switch and the second switching means comprises a second photoconductive switch, wherein the first switching means is switchable between an open state and a closed state in which it is adapted to pass the input signal to an output of the first switching means, the apparatus further comprises storage means connected to the output of the first switching means and to an output of the second switching means and adapted to store an output signal comprising the difference between a signal at the output of the first switching means when in its closed state and a signal at an output of the second switching means.

Abstract: A set of injection mold sections are supported and secured to parallel spaced platens of an injection molding press by quick-change locking couplers including a plurality of projecting knobs or studs on each mold section. The studs are received within corresponding cylinders each having a tapered seat which engages a mating surface on the stud. Each cylinder also supports circumferentially spaced balls movable between locked positions engaging enlarged head portions of the studs and retracted released positions in response to axial movement of a spring biased piston within a housing. The pistons are moved to released positions in response to pressurized air supplied simultaneously to the housings. The locking couplers may be recessed within an adapter plate disposed between a mold section and the supporting platen, and the adapter plate has a pattern of threaded holes for mounting a conventional mold section.

Abstract: Measuring apparatus for providing information on the relative location of a target site which is radiating a target signal that includes a predetermined pulse signal, comprises receiver means for providing a pair of temporally spaced output pulses in response to a single received said predetermined pulse signal and cross-correlation means coupled to said receiver means for cross-correlating said pair of output pulses or signals derived therefrom.

Abstract: A ballnut assembly is provided in which a locknut (20), which is normally unloaded becomes loaded in the event of failure of a primary load path. This loading causes relative motion between locking nut (24) and the threads of a shaft (8) such that on clearance there between is eliminated. This causes frictional forces to initiate a lock-up of the locknut.
