Abstract: The present invention relates to female germline stem cells and their progenitors, methods of isolation thereof, and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: Multi-layer paper structures and processes of producing the same are described. An easel includes a backer layer associated with a first web roll, the backer layer comprising a planar portion and a support structure and a display layer associated with a second web roll different from the first web roll, the display layer comprising a front face and a back face, the back face coupled to the backer layer. The front face includes information associated with a recipient of the easel or an organization.

Abstract: A system includes a tubular string that is adapted to be deployed downhole in a well and an activation ball. The activation ball is adapted to be deployed in the tubular string to lodge in a seat of the string. The ball includes a spherical body, which is formed from a metallic material that has a specific gravity less than about 2.0.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide for end-of-life (EOL) checking for NAND flash devices. An exemplary implementation of a computing environment comprises at least one NAND data storage device operative to store one or more data elements. In the illustrative implementation, the EOL data processing and storage management paradigm allows for the storage of data according using a selected EOL enforcement algorithm that can utilize current and/or historical correction levels. The NAND data storage EOL checking module can be operable to cooperate with one or more NAND data store components to execute one or more selected EOL operations to protect stored data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to female germline stem cells and their progenitors, methods of isolation thereof, and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide for constraint checking for constraints imposed on NAND flash devices. An exemplary implementation of a computing environment comprises at least one NAND data storage device. In the illustrative implementation, the data processing and storage management paradigm allows for the storage of data according using a selected constraint enforcement algorithm. A NAND data storage constraint checking module can be operable to enforce one or more selected device constraints with one or more co-operating components to the NAND data store.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide for switching from a low-power mode of a device such as, for example, a SAS or SATA receiver, to an active mode. The device enters the low-power mode by shutting down i) logic devices of a physical layer of the device and ii) a decoding circuit of the device. Activity at an input of a receiver of the device is detected while in low-power mode, and the device switches, in response to the detected activity, from the low-power mode to the active mode by powering up i) the logic devices of the physical layer and ii) the decoding circuit when activity is detected, thereby responding to the detected activity as if it is a predetermined command.
