Abstract: Embodiments of an amplifier and method of operating an amplifier are disclosed. In some embodiments, the amplifier includes an active device having an input terminal and an output terminal. A harmonic termination is coupled in shunt with respect to the input terminal or the output terminal, wherein the harmonic termination includes a capacitor-shunt inductor-capacitor or similar network. In this manner, the harmonic terminator shapes the waveform of the RF signal without introducing large amounts of capacitance at the fundamental/center operating frequency.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to determine one or more specific data points that may be found in or added to call metadata that will assist and/or enhance confidence score algorithms. A call request for an inbound VoIP telephony call may be received by a telephony server in a servicing telecommunications carrier network. The call request may be intended for a called party serviced by the servicing telecommunications carrier network. The servicing telecommunications carrier network telephony server may obtain a plurality of data points associated with the call request wherein at least one of the data points is an interconnect carrier, the interconnect carrier data point identifying which carrier handed the call to the servicing carrier. The servicing telecommunications carrier network telephony server may then send the plurality of data points to a confidence score generating process comprising an algorithm configured to determine a confidence score using the data points.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of increasing response to radiation therapy in subjects afflicted with cancer. In some embodiments, the method comprises reducing the ability of an immune suppressor cell (e.g., MDSC) to migrate to the microenvironment of the cancer. In some embodiments, the method further comprises suppressing the migration of the immune suppressor cell to a non-malignant cell and/or suppressing the malignant transformation of the non-malignant cells.

Abstract: Provided herein is an electronic message management platform that enables calculating a size of a sample of a message recipient list that delivers a confidence level greater than threshold for the entire message recipient list by applying a predicted bounce percent for the list to a sample size selection algorithm, selecting a total of recipients in the message recipient list that is consistent with the sample size, processing messages to each of the recipients in the sample, monitoring message life cycle events for the recipients in the sample set over a period of time, and based on the monitoring taking an action with the message recipient list selected from a list of recipient list actions consisting of processing remaining recipients in the message recipient list and halting processing of the message recipient list.

Abstract: Provided herein is an electronic message management platform that enables management and execution of electronic message campaigns while appropriately managing challenges presented by spam filters, black lists, and domain blocking technologies, and that includes elements for managing an electronic message campaign based on dynamic conditions, quality measures, engagement factors, and other measures, factors and conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fusion proteins comprising (a) a first stretch of consecutive amino acids, the sequence of which is the sequence of an anti-p185her2/neu polypeptide or an anti-EGFR polypeptide; (b) a second stretch of consecutive amino acids, the sequence of which is the sequence of a polypeptide capable of binding at least one polypeptide other than p185her2/neu or EGFR; and (c) a third stretch of consecutive amino acids, the sequence of which comprises the sequence of a biologically active portion of interferon-gamma (IFN?), wherein (b) is located at the carboxy-terminal end of (a), and (c) is located at the carboxy-terminal end of (b). The present invention provides methods and compositions treating or preventing cancer and for sensitizing cancer cells to radiation or a chemotherapeutic agent, which comprises administering i) an anti-p185her2/neu antibody, an anti-EGFR antibody or an erbB kinase inhibitor and interferon-gamma (IFN?); or ii) a fusion protein of the invention.

Abstract: A plant growing system is provided and includes a liquid supply/drain floor system including a first liquid holding tank and a second liquid holding tank adjacent and attached to the first liquid holding tank, a framed structure assembly attached to the first liquid holding tank and the second liquid holding tank, a lighting system attached to the framed structure assembly, and a cover that covers the framed structure. The first liquid holding tank and the second liquid holding tank also function as a floor of the plant growing system.

Abstract: An improved low cost and highly consistent inductive apparatus. In one embodiment, the low cost and highly consistent inductive apparatus addresses concerns with so called conductive anodic filament (CAF) that occurs within these laminate structures. These conditions include high humidity, high bias voltage (i.e. a large voltage differential), high-moisture content, surface and resin ionic impurities, glass to resin bond weakness and exposure to high assembly temperatures that can occur, for example, during lead free solder bonding application. In a variant, mixed mode coupling techniques are utilized in order to extend the underlying operating bandwidth of the substrate inductive device. Methods of manufacturing and using the aforementioned substrate inductive devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for treating sulfuric acid burn, wherein the composition may be used as a topical medication. The composition generally includes isopropyl alcohol or L-valine solution; at least one active therapeutic substance and/or a disinfectant for treating the burn; calcium hydroxide for neutralizing the acid; a humectant and/or a clinging agent for preventing the acid from spreading; an expectorant for signaling the body to clear any irritations caused by the acid; an acid indicator for visually signaling presence of the acid; and fumed silica as a thickening agent for slowing the reaction time of the acid. In a preferred embodiment, and without limitation, the therapeutic substances may include eugenol and thymol, and the disinfectants may include turmeric powder and hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, glycerin and sugar are used as clinging agents to reduce the chemical reaction between the sulfuric acid and surrounding tissue or materials exposed thereto.
