Abstract: The present invention describes a base module (100) and a tray insert (200, 300, 400) of a multipurpose tray (100) for an automated processing system, such as an analytical, pre-analytical or post-analytical processing system, as well as to a multipurpose tray comprising such base module and such tray insert, wherein the tray insert can be particularly used for holding a plurality of reagent or sample tubes to be processed in the automated processing system. The present invention further relates to a method of simplified loading/unloading of such a multipurpose tray into/from the automated processing system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds and compositions useful in the treatment of GLS1 mediated diseases, such as cancer, having the structure of Formula I: Methods of inhibition GLS1 activity in a human or animal subject are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for facilitating creating of music in real time by multiple users, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the method comprises receiving first music segment selections from a first user device, receiving second music segment selections from a second user device, transmitting the first music segment selections to the second user device, and transmitting the second music segment selections to the first user device. Further, each of the first user device and the second user device is configured for retrieving the first music segments, retrieving the second music segments, determining a universal time, synchronizing the second music segments with the first music segments to a common musical beat based on the universal time, mixing the second music segments with the first music segments based on the synchronizing, and generating a mixed music comprising the first music segments and the second music segments based on the mixing.

Abstract: Tubular bait fish retrieval apparatuses comprise a generally cylindrically-shaped or prism-shaped body comprising an opening on a first end thereof configured to allow passage of a bait fish therethrough, and a generally closed second end having at least one aperture configured to fill the body with water when disposed within the water and for draining the water from the body when removed from the water. Methods of using the same are further provided.

Abstract: A deionized-water cooling system for electrical equipment is provided. The system includes a cooling loop in which water comes into contact with the electrical equipment and a deionization bypass connected to the cooling loop. The deionization bypass includes a first filter component configured to remove dissolved oxygen, a second filter component configured to filter solid particles, a deionization cartridge configured to deionize water, and a plurality of valves configured to control a water flow within the deionization bypass.

Abstract: A file synchronization service generates a listing of files stored on a local data volume by executing a plurality of threads corresponding to directories of the data volume. Files to synchronize with a remote data storage service are identified based on comparison of the listed files with cached data indicative of files stored by the remote data storage service. A plurality of file synchronization requests are sent to the remote data storage service, where the plurality of files are sent in an order that is determined at least partly based on a scaling characteristic of the remote data storage service.

Abstract: A femtocell is integrated into a core network so as to securely and efficiently deliver one or more mobile services to an end user on an existing mobile device over a broadband connection. This integration can be into a basic Internet Protocol (IP)-based network, or an IMS-based network. In an illustrated embodiment, a femtocell is integrated to a SIP- or IMS-based network using a “convergence” server. The convergence server preferably is a SIP-based fixed mobile convergence (FMC) application server that provides an all-IP approach to core network integration for femtocells.
