Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and apparatus for providing continuous power and utilities to a fixture in a manufacturing process. In one embodiment of the invention, a system with robot, such as a robotic arm, and a workstation can be deployed in a manufacturing process. A fixture associated with the manufacturing process can include a mount operable for receiving power from the robot or robot arm, and another mount operable for receiving power from the workstation. An associated control device, such as a programmable logic circuit, can selectively provide power via either mount depending on whether the fixture is mounted to the robot or robotic arm, or to the workstation.

Abstract: A photoconductor containing a supporting substrate; an undercoat layer comprised of a mixture of an aminosilane and a halogenated polymer; a photogenerating layer; and at least one charge transport layer.

Abstract: The present invention is a high capacity, non-drum magazine. The high capacity magazine comprises a broad general storage area capable of holding four staggered stacks of ammunition, a unified follower on a spring system biasing the follower and associated ammunition, a central partition a barrier separating two dual staggered round stacks and around which the follower will pass, and a transition area between the feed end of the magazine and the storage area. The spring may be a composite spring system, made of two springs joined in series, or a single, variable constant, spring.

Abstract: A photoconductor containing an optional supporting substrate; a photogenerating layer comprised of a chelating agent and a titanyl phthalocyanine; and at least one charge transport layer comprised of at least one charge transport component, and wherein a silanol is present in at least one of said photogenerating layer and charge transport layer.

Abstract: The subject invention concerns materials and methods for gene therapy. One aspect of the invention pertains to vectors which can be used to effect genetic therapy in animals or humans having genetic disorders where expression of high levels of a protein of interest are required to treat or correct the disorder. The subject invention also pertains to methods for treating animals or humans in need of gene therapy to treat or correct a genetic disorder. The materials and methods of the invention can be used to provide therapeutically effective levels of a protein that is non-functional, or that is absent or deficient in the animal or human to be treated. In one embodiment, the materials and methods can be used to treat alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Abstract: A photoconductor containing an optional supporting substrate, a silanol containing photogenerating layer, and at least one charge transport layer.

Abstract: The present application provides for a method of diagnosing TLBW via measurement of expression of various TLBW-related genes. The present application also provides kits for the diagnosis of TLBW in a subject. The present application also provides a method for determining the basis for appropriate therapy for a subject suffering from TLBW.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain pharmaceutical compositions of a 5-HT2A serotonin receptor modulator and methods for preparing pharmaceutical composition related thereto. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful in the treatment of platelet aggregation, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, angina, stroke, atrial fibrillation, reducing the risk of blood clot formation, asthma or symptoms thereof, agitation or a symptom, behavioral disorders, drug induced psychosis, excitative psychosis, Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, manic disorder, organic or NOS psychosis, psychotic disorder, psychosis, acute schizophrenia, chronic schizophrenia, NOS schizophrenia and related disorders, sleep disorders, diabetic-related disorders, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and the like.

Abstract: A method for controlling a headphone having a microphone for receiving noise and user signals, the received noise being used to reduce noise at an output of the headphone, includes detecting a signal by the microphone; if the signal has a predefined characteristic, the signal is mapped to a control command; and the headphone is operated according to the command.

Abstract: A photoconductor that includes a supporting substrate, a first photogenerating layer, a second photogenerating layer and at least one charge transport layer. The first photogenerating layer contains, for example, a phthalocyanine pigment, and the second photogenerating layer contains a different phthalocyanine pigment than the first photogenerating layer phthalocyanine.

Abstract: A patient management system and method are provided. The patient management system may include portable computers for the clinicians making house calls, a centralized database for storing patient medical records, and an office system for communicating with the portable computer to provide the clinician with patient medical information by accessing the database and receive patient visit medical information from the physician. The operating system may also update the database with the patient visit information House calls may be made to single family/person residences, congregate care facilities or communities, and others.

Abstract: A patient management system and method are provided. The method of patient management may include receiving appointment data regarding an appointment for a patient with a selected clinician at a predetermined time, inserting an appointment entry on an electronic calendar of the selected clinician, attaching patient data to the appointment entry on the electronic calendar, providing a first electronic link on the appointment entry to medical records of the patient, providing a second electronic link on the appointment entry to a map showing an address of the patient, partially pre-filling a patient visit form using the attached patient data, receiving patient visit data electronically entered by the selected clinician on the patient visit form during the appointment, and storing the patient visit data into a patient database.

Abstract: A universal remote control includes a display that is partitioned into a button touch-screen portion and a message area. The button touch-screen portion includes pre-determined or etched areas defining a plurality of buttons and a given number of pre-determined labels for each button. The message area includes individual pixels (i.e. a dot matrix) that allow the display of messages, labels or the like such as text. Activation of a touch-screen button having a message or label associated therewith causes the message or label to be displayed in the message area of the display. The remote control is customizable by the user. The user can configure a label for a particular button to suit the user's preference(s). This is especially useful for “learning remotes” where the function “learned” (stored) with respect to a particular button or key may bear no relationship to the label printed or available for that button. Now the user can create a custom label that is displayed in a message area of the remote.

Abstract: A covering system that includes a first membrane, a first flotation member coupled to the first membrane. The first flotation member includes a first float and a first float compartment membrane, and the first float compartment membrane is coupled to the first membrane. The covering system also includes a first plurality of gas-relief passageways positioned either within the first float compartment membrane, or within the first membrane and adjacent to the first flotation member. And at least one of the gas-relief passageways within the first plurality is structured so that gas flows unobstructed through it when the system is used. Gas-relief openings formed between overlapping membranes may also be utilized as avenues through which gas may escape to atmosphere from beneath the covers and covering systems. Venting methods are also disclosed.
