Abstract: The present disclosure relates to removing residual air in a packaged product. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to a residual air reduction device and to methods of using such device to reduce the amount of residual air in a packaged product. Such a device is employed during the manufacturing process to release air trapped in a product matrix and/or in a head space of the package as the package contacts the device. In some embodiments, the device and methods of the disclosure are useful in reducing residual air in a pouch package by at least 5% in comparison to a pouch package manufactured without use of the device and/or methods described herein.

Abstract: Techniques for enhancing a throttle management system are disclosed. A throttle management system can be configured to scale down a number of permits available for connections to a data source. The throttle configuration parameters can be viewed by an administrator and modified during the runtime operation of the computer system effecting the throttle.

Abstract: The present invention refers to phenanthrene derivatives for use as medicaments, mainly in the prevention and/or treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1, Huntington's Disease Like 2, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 8, Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3, Fragile-X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome, Frontotemporal Degeneration/Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 31. In a preferred embodiment, phenanthrene derivatives of the invention are also used as antimyotonic agents. Therefore, this invention may be included either in the whole pharmaceutical or medical field.

Abstract: An apparatus and system are disclosed for real-time monitoring and control of field assets. A monitoring device may be coupled to a field asset to determine the occurrence of one or more error conditions. Error conditions may be detected either as they occur or by testing the field asset at timed intervals. Upon detection of one or more error conditions, the monitoring device may initiate one or more corrective sequences to resolve the error condition. Alternatively, the monitoring device may notify a network operations center of the detected error condition. Users may access the network operations center via an Internet-enabled remote device. From the Internet-enabled remote device, the user may view status information concerning one or more field assets. The user may also use the Internet-enabled remote device to instruct the network operations center to issue commands to be executed by the monitoring device such that the error conditions on the field asset may be corrected.

Abstract: An apparatus and system are disclosed for the real-time monitoring and control of field assets. In particular, a monitoring device is disclosed that may be coupled to a field asset. The monitoring device may be designed as a stand-alone unit or it may be designed to leverage one or more technologies included in the field asset to determine the occurrence of one or more error conditions. The error conditions may be detected either as they occur or by testing the field asset at timed intervals. Upon detection of one or more error conditions, the monitoring device may initiate one or more corrective sequences to resolve the error condition. Alternatively, the monitoring device may notify a network operations center, via a wireless network, of the detected error condition. Users may access the network operations center via the Internet using a Internet-enabled remote device. From the Internet-enabled remote device, the user may view status information concerning one or more field assets.

Abstract: An apparatus and system are disclosed for the real-time monitoring and control of field assets. The monitoring device, operable to couple to a field asset, may be designed to leverage one or more technologies included in the field asset or as a stand-alone unit and is preferably operable to detect one or more error conditions thereon. The error conditions may be detected either as they occur or during testing intervals. Once an error condition is detected, the monitoring device may initiate one or more corrective sequences to resolve the error condition or, alternatively, the monitoring device may notify a network operations center via a wireless network. Accessing a network operations center from an Internet-enabled remote device, a user may view status information for one or more field assets, issue commands to correct error conditions as well as perform other functions.
