Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing hydrogen for a fuel cell by (a) reacting a fuel comprising a hydrocarbon and/or an oxygenate with steam, under steam reforming conditions in a reforming reactor to produce a product stream comprising hydrogen, (b) feeding at least part of the hydrogen produced in step a) to a fuel cell, to produce electric power and a waste stream comprising hydrogen, (c) reacting at least part of the waste stream from step b) with an oxygen-containing gas in a combustion reactor, and (d) using the heat energy produced in step c) to supply energy to the steam reforming reaction in step a) in which the combustion reactor is positioned within the reforming reactor to facilitate heat transfer between the stages.

Abstract: Process for the conversion of carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen containing feedstocks to oxygen-containing hydrocarbon compounds in the presence of a particulate catalyst, by reacting carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen in the presence of a particulate catalyst in a conversion reactor to form oxygen-containing hydrocarbon compounds. A saturated monocarboxylic acid having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and/or an ester of a saturated monocarboxylic acid having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms with a monohydric aliphatic paraffinic alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms is added to the conversion reactor.

Abstract: A keyboard for one-handed data input is disclosed. The keyboard includes a primary keypad including a first set of keys. The primary keypad is defined by a first side and an opposed second side. The keyboard also includes an auxiliary keypad including a second set of keys, as well as an input selection pad with a multiple position switch. The switch is used to selectively map the keyboard to various input value sets. The auxiliary keypad is attached to the first side, while the input selection pad is attached to the second side. There is also a rest pad centrally mounted to the primary keypad.

Abstract: An immunogenic reagent which produces an immune response which is protective against Bacillus anthracis, said reagent comprising one or more polypeptides which together represent up to three domains of the full length Protective Antigen (PA) of B. anthracis or variants of these, and at least one of said domains comprises domain 1 or domain 4 of PA or a variant thereof. The polypeptides of the immunogenic reagent as well as full length PA are produced by expression from E. coli. High yields of polypeptide are obtained using this method. Cells, vectors and nucleic acids used in the method are also described and claimed.

Abstract: An electronic game-based learning system capable of providing a game-based learning environment(s) to at least one user is described. The system having at least one host system capable of selectively providing video and output portions of a game-based learning environment(s) and at least one client system capable of selectively providing input portions to the host system such that the client system provides the user within an interactive game-based learning environment(s).

Abstract: Spore coat-associated proteins from members of Bacillus genera, and in particular spore-coat associated protein N (CotN), have utilisation as adjuvants in vaccine formulations. The vaccine formulations most likely contain a virulence factor of bacterial origin, which in the case of Bacillus genera is the protective antigen.

Abstract: A prevention-based network auditing system includes a central compliance server generating network policies and configuring audits of the data communications network. The compliance server presents a graphical user interface (GUI) to describe the specific data gathering parameters, policies to be analyzed, and the schedule of analysis. One or more audit servers strategically deployed around the network employ heterogeneous data-gathering tools to gather information about the network in response to the configured audits, and transmit the gathered information to the compliance server. An audit repository stores the gathered information for use by the compliance server for security and regulatory policy assessment, network vulnerability analysis, report generation, and security improvement recommendations.

Abstract: A prevention-based network auditing system includes an audit repository storing network information gathered by a plurality of heterogeneous information sources. A semantic normalization module identifies semantic equivalencies in the gathered information, and generates a map listing for each fact gathered by an information source, an equivalent fact or set of facts gathered by each of the other information sources. A network policy is then uniformly applied to the information that is identified as being semantically equivalent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of propylene from a feedstock comprising propanol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the co-production of ethylene and propylene from an ethanol feedstock and a propanol feedstock.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of mono-olefin(s) from a feedstock comprising of at least one monohydric aliphatic paraffinic alcohol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for the conversion of carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen containing feedstocks to oxygen containing hydrocarbon compounds in the presence of a particulate catalyst.

Abstract: This invention relates to polycyclic carboxamide compounds of the formula I: with cytotoxicity, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, particularly in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cellular proliferative disorders such as cancer.

Abstract: A prevention-based network auditing system includes a central compliance server storing both natural language policy documents and machine-processable policy rules in an audit repository. The compliance server provides a client-side user interface allowing a user to easily generate a machine-auditable policy by selecting/generating a natural language policy source document, and linking the applicable machine-processable policy rules to the applicable portions of the source document. The selected machine-processable policy rules are then applied to information gathered about the network during a scheduled network audit session for efficiently and systematically determining whether policy violations and/or vulnerabilities exist.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of ethylene from a feedstock comprising ethanol.

Abstract: This invention relates to polycyclic carboxamide compounds of the formula (I) with cytotoxicity, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, particularly I the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cellular proliferative disorders such a cancer.

Abstract: Each package in a plurality of packages includes a plurality of absorbent articles and at least one premium located within an interior space. Each package further includes at least one opening means to transition the package from a closed condition to an open condition and create an opening to access the interior space. The premium in each package is not directly attached to the absorbent articles or the package and the premium is consistently positioned and is immediately accessible through the opening when the package is first transitioned from the closed condition to the open condition.
