Abstract: A management system can recommend and manage publishing content with publishers of business information. A representative can provide unique identifying information for a business that can be used to determine a category of similar businesses. Based on the identified category, a list of publishers can be identified to the representative as related to the business category. The representative can select one or more of the publishers to publish content about the business. Based on the representative selection, the system can request a set of content from the representative. After receiving the content from the representative, the system can translate the content to formats acceptable to each of the publishers. The content can then be provided to the publishers to publish. The published content can then be monitored for problems, and corrected if problems are discovered.

Abstract: An entity management dashboard is implemented according to systems and methods disclosed herein. An example method may include displaying a first entity of a computer network in an entity management dashboard. The example method may also include linking the first entity to a second entity of the computer network when the first entity is graphically connected to the second entity to deliver content against a context.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for games that may be adjusted to provide bonuses to players playing together, such as when one player has referred the other to the system. Game win amounts may be adjusted to account for bonuses that may be provided to Refer-A-Friend (RAF) players.

Abstract: A passive cooling unit for integrated electronics in form of flat-plate heat-pipe device having a shallow cavity base member, a cover plate, and a lanced-offset fin member and associated porous metal wick material sandwiched therebetween, the fin member being braced to the base member and cover plate to provide structural support and also being coated with the wick material. The resultant flat-plate heat-pipe device, when formed of a lightweight metal such as aluminum or titanium, results in a passive cooling device that is lightweight, structurally strong, and of low cost manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention provides a two-phase thermosyphon (100) that includes a sealed housing (105). The housing (105) includes a first outer surface, a second outer surface opposite the first outer surface, a first inner surface, and a second inner surface. The housing (105) is preferably formed of a first housing piece and a second housing piece that are attached in such a way as to form a sealed housing. A porous structural material (101) is disposed within the housing (105). A plurality of slots (103) are disposed within the porous structural material (101). The slots (103) preferably run substantially perpendicular to the general direction of vapor flow through the porous structural material (101) and provide increased heat dissipation in the two-phase thermosyphon (100).

Abstract: The present invention provides a two-phase thermosyphon (100) and a method for forming the two-phase thermosyphon (100). The two-phase thermosyphon (100) includes a hermetically sealed housing (101) including a first outer surface (107), a second outer surface (109) opposite the first outer surface (107), a first inner surface (111), and a second inner surface (113). The two-phase thermosyphon (100) also includes a finned area (114) thermally coupled to the hermetically sealed housing (101), the finned area (114) including a plurality of fins (115) disposed on a part of the first outer surface (107). The two-phase thermosyphon (100) also includes a plurality of air feed through slots (105) disposed in the housing (101). The air feed through slots (105) underlie the fins(115) and provide increased heat dissipation by increasing the air flow about the fins (115). The present invention is particularly useful in applications that require a two-phase thermosyphon utilized in a generally horizontal orientation.

Abstract: An electronic device (10) having a thermal control capability is disclosed. The electronic device includes a substrate (16), a signal conductive region (26) disposed on at least a portion of the substrate, the signal conductive region configured to provide a signal path, and a first semiconductor die (12) having an active surface (18) and a back surface (20). The back surface is configured with a plurality of bubbler cavities positioned to receive a cooling fluid (24). In addition, the first semiconductor die includes a first plurality of solder bumps (30) disposed on the active surface, the first plurality of solder bumps contiguous with, and electrically coupling the active surface to the signal conductive region. Further, an electrically reactive metal region (402) in communication with the signal conductive region is sized to provide a location for real-time iterative tuning of the electronic device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the solubilization and/or stabilization of polypeptides, especially proteins, using cyclodextrin selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl, hydroxyethyl, glucosyl, maltosyl and maltotriosyl derivatives of .beta.- and .gamma.-cyclodextrin. Solubilized and/or stabilized compositions comprising a polypeptide, especially a protein, and the selected cyclodextrin are also described.

Abstract: Compositions are described that are suitable for formulating cytokines, preferably tumor necrosis factor, that maintain their biological activities over a wide range of temperatures by, among other aspects, decreasing them sensitivity to agitation, and preventing oligomer and particulate matter formation.

Abstract: Shipping fever, and other stress-related diseases in livestock, are treated by administration of a microencapsulated composition comprising IL-2 conjugated with a polyoxyethylene polymer, and mixed with a release-modulating amount of humen serum albumin. The microcapsules are administered parenterally, and release an effective amount of conjugated IL-2 continuously over a period of 14-30 days. These microcapsules are also effective in the treatment of cancer in mammals.
