Comments and comment location data may be communicated to other clients, allowing for collaborative communication via a thin client application.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and systems dynamic trust federation. In one aspect, a computer implemented method may include a security token that enables sign-on into a group applications based on applicable trust criteria. In one aspect, when a user interacts with one application in the group, the trust is elevated through the application internal authentication application program interface (API). The trust may be included in the security token to make available to other applications in the group. Applications can be in multiple groups with variable level of authentication based on location and other transactions variables.

Abstract: A measuring device for measuring a signal with a first component signal and at least one second component signal comprises a high-frequency processing device, which is embodied to mix the signal in order to form an intermediate-frequency signal and to digitize the latter in order to form a digital composite signal. The measuring device further comprises a digital mixer, which is embodied to generate a first digital composite test signal and a second digital composite test signal subject to a displacement of the frequency of the digital composite signal. Moreover, the measuring device comprises a digital filter, which is embodied to filter the first digital composite test signal in order to form a first digital test signal and to filter the second digital composite test signal in order to form a second digital test signal.

Abstract: A universal broadband broadcasting service is provided. A spectrum-sharing database stores attributes associated with a shared spectrum, a policy controller controls access to the shared spectrum by broadcast service entities, and a gateway receives IP multicast traffic from the broadcast service entities and communicates the IP multicast traffic to a broadcast single frequency network.

Abstract: A method for improving the data rate of data for M/H receivers and for improving the quality of channel estimation in an ATSC-M/H transport data stream marks the transport data packets determined for the transmission of data for M/H receivers in N (e.g., 38) consecutively transmitted transport data packets in an ATSC-M/H-slot of the uncoded ATSC-M/H transport data stream originally determined for the transmission of data for stationary receivers. Coded data for M/H receivers are inserted in the marked transport data packets and introduce training sequences in segments of data fields of the coded ATSC-M/H transport data stream containing marked transport data packets.

Likewise, a method can include providing contact information on a disposable cover adapted to cover a beverage container. The contact information is not necessarily provided by the manufacturer of the beverage or beverage container. The method can also include receiving contact from a user of the disposable cover. The method can further include coordinating the delivery of a service to the user of the disposable cover responsive to the contact received from the user.

The boost mechanism is in communication with an air source and the internal combustion engine. The fluid supply mechanism includes a first accumulator in communication with a pressurized fluid supply from the internal combustion engine and the boost mechanism. The accumulator receives pressurized fluid from the internal combustion engine during engine operation and provides the pressurized fluid to the boost mechanism during an engine off condition.

Abstract: Methods for treating or preventing neointima stenosis are disclosed. The methods generally involve the use of a TGF? inhibitor, a SMAD2 inhibitor, an FGF Receptor agonist, a Let-7 agonist, or a combination thereof, to inhibit endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (Endo-MT) of vascular endothelial cells into smooth muscle cells (SMC) at sites of endothelial damage. The disclosed methods can therefore be used to prevent or inhibit neointimal stenosis or restenosis, e.g., after angioplasty, vascular graft, or stent. Also disclosed are methods for increasing the patency of biodegradable, synthetic vascular grafts using a composition that inhibits Endo-MT. A cell-free tissue engineered vascular graft (TEVG) produced by this method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Mapping data packets of a first data stream into data fields of a second data stream at several transmitters is provided by generating a first data stream with first data packets containing data associated with stationary receivers and second data packets containing data associated with mobile receivers in a head-end, where second data packets at the start of a group of consecutively transmitted second data packets contain placeholders into which signaling information is filled. A first data stream is transmitted from the head-end to each transmitter. Each transmitter extracts signaling information from the second data packets indicating in which data slot and in which data sub-frame of a received data frame the second data packet is transferred. Each transmitter inserts synchronization data in a specific data packet in each data slot containing second data packets. The first and second data packets are mapped consecutively into the second data stream.

Abstract: Compositions and method for stimulating and controlling arteriogenesis and lymphatic vasculature by preventing and/or reducing the cellular interaction between RAF1 and AKT have been developed. The compositions include molecules that increase the bioavailability of non-phosphorylated RAF1, for example, the RAF1 Ser259 to Ala259 mutant in (RAF1 S259A), and AKT1 inhibitory molecules. Defects, disorders or diseases of insufficient blood or lymphatic vasculature are treated by administering to a patient in need thereof, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a molecule specifically blocking RAF1-AKT crosstalk in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient in an amount effective to enhance the growth of blood or lymphatic vasculature in the patient.
