Abstract: Aged skeletal stem cells are targeted for reactivation by administration of a combination of a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and an inhibitor of CSF1, which combination of factors may be topically administered to a targeted skeletal site. In some embodiments the topical administration comprises placement of an implant, e.g. a matrix, gel, scaffold, etc. for localized delivery of the factor at the targeted skeletal site.

Abstract: A system for reporting digital data representing objects or events comprising: a capture device in communication with an immutable storage system; computer instructions adapted to: capture a digital asset identification; retrieve digital asset registration from the immutable storage system according to the digital asset identification wherein the digital asset registration includes metadata taken from the group consisting of a location information, a temporal information, an individual information, an object information, an asset type, a creation information, a description, and any combination thereof, displaying a graphical representation of the location, the temporal information includes a date and time the digital asset registration was recorded on the storage system, wherein the creation information includes a validation type, individual information, and a storage type, and, calculate a digital asset rating level according to the validation type, individual information, and storage type, and associate the

Abstract: A cleaning assembly for elongated articles includes a housing. A channel extends from a top to a bottom of the housing. A plurality of holes is positioned in the housing and extends annularly around an inner perimeter of the housing. Each hole extends to an interior space of the housing. A pipe, which is coupled to and extends from an outer perimeter of the housing, is in fluidic communication with the interior space. A hose connector that is coupled to the pipe distal from the housing is configured to couple the pipe to a hose. A reservoir is coupled to the pipe proximate to the housing. A tube extends between the reservoir and the pipe so that a cleaning agent in the reservoir is positioned to enter the pipe. Water from the hose and the cleaning agent exit the holes under pressure to clean an article positioned in the channel.

Abstract: A JMX plugin agent that interfaces between an MBean server and a JMX plugin directory. The JMX plugin agent simplifies development and modification of MBeans by automating registration and unregistration of MBeans with the MBean server and enabling organization of multiple versions of an MBean within a common JMX plugin directory. A generic JMX plugin agent scans a JMX bean plugin directory looking for MBeans to create and register with the MBeanServer. Preferably, each MBean has its own subdirectory that indicates the MBean version and includes a plugin.xml file that describes any necessary configuration parameters. The JMX plugin agent makes it easier to deploy JMX beans to multiple WAS instances and even provides for plugin dependency and version control.

Abstract: Apparatus are provided which include a specimen vessel holding at least one biological sample. A histological agent is in the specimen vessel so as to come into contact with the tissue sample. A microwave susceptor is provided in, near, or integral to the specimen vessel.

Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for transferring data from transactional data sources to partitioned databases are provided. One or more messages from a transactional data source are read. Each message includes one or more records to be inserted into a database comprising a plurality of partitions. One of the partitions of the database in which the one or more records of each message are to be inserted is then identified. A transaction is initiated to insert the one or more records of each message into the one partition and to delete the one or more messages from the transactional data source. The transaction is committed only when insertion of the one or more records of each message into the one partition and deletion of the one or more messages from the transactional data source succeed.

Abstract: Method, computer program product, and system for transferring data from positional data sources to partitioned databases are provided. A record is read from a positional data source. The record is to be written to one of a plurality of partitions of a database. A position of the record in the positional data source is obtained. A transaction is initiated to write the record to the one partition and to store the position of the record in the database. The transaction is committed after the record is successfully written to the one partition and the position of the record is successfully stored in the database.

Abstract: A system for accessing a secure area. In response to reading a plurality of security device orientations, the plurality of security device orientations are recorded. The plurality of recorded security device orientations are compared with stored security device orientation data. In response to determining that a match occurs between the plurality of recorded security device orientations and the stored security device orientation data, access is granted to the secure area.

Abstract: Method, computer program product, and system for transferring data to database partitions are provided. A transaction is initiated to insert one or more records into a partition of a database. At least one of the one or more records is then saved in binary form to a dump table in the database as a part of the transaction in response to the insertion of the at least one record into the partition having failed as a result of the at least one record not satisfying a predetermined condition. In response to the saving of the at least one record in binary form to the dump table having failed, the transaction is rolled back.
