Abstract: A condition monitoring system for a pressure vessel includes at least one vibration monitoring probe coupled to at least one pressure vessel component. The system also includes at least one computing device that includes a memory device configured to store data associated with the at least one vibration monitoring probe. The computing device also includes at least one input channel configured to receive the data associated with the at least one vibration monitoring probe. The computing device further includes a processor coupled to the memory device and the at least one input channel. The processor is programmed to determine a deterioration of the material condition of the at least one pressure vessel component by comparing at least a portion of the data associated with the at least one vibration monitoring probe with predetermined vibration parameters.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards methods and systems for performance monitoring for mobile applications. In an embodiment, a method of monitoring performance of a mobile application is provided. A mobile application is operated on a wireless mobile device. A progress indicator being displayed on a display screen of the mobile device during operation of the mobile application on the wireless mobile device is automatically detected. Data indicative of a time duration of the progress indicator is obtained. The data indicative of the time duration is communicated to a centralized server.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of and systems for predicting performance of a mobile application. A first mobile application is installed on a first plurality of wireless mobile devices. Operational data resulting from operating the first mobile application on the first plurality of mobile devices is collected. A second mobile application is installed on a second plurality of mobile devices. Test data resulting from operating the second the mobile application on the second plurality of mobile devices is collected. The performance of the second mobile application is predicted using the operational data and the test data for combinations of mobile device configuration and wireless network connection type not represented by the second plurality of mobile devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of screening for binding partners, especially binding partners essential for the biological activity of erastin (e.g. VDACs such as VDAC3). The invention also provides reagents and methods for effective killing of cancer cells with erastin and related compounds or derivatives.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an archery target comprises the steps of providing a plurality of sheets of polyethylene foam, laminating the plurality of sheets of foam together by passing adjacent ones of the sheets past a heat source and then compressing the sheets together to form a polyethylene foam plank, and cutting a section out of the polyethylene foam plank.
