Abstract: A fuel pump, for an internal combustion engine, has a housing accommodating a pump and a motor. The motor is arranged to drive the pump so as to pump fuel through the housing. The motor has a wound stator having a plurality of inwardly directed teeth about which a stator winding is wound, and a radially outer surface in contact with an inner surface of the housing. One or more pathways are formed between the inner surface of the housing and the outer surface of the stator, for the flow of fuel there through. Each pathway is formed by an axially extending recess formed in the outer surface of the stator and aligned with a selected tooth of the stator.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator with a stator core and a rotor. The rotor includes n magnets polarized along the radial direction of the rotor. The magnets have the same polarization and each forms two magnetic circuits passing through corresponding portions of the stator core, whereby the rotor forms 2n magnetic poles.

Abstract: A service framework wherein a markup language based software development kit that maps an object model of a service SDK to a set of markup language schemas. On the basis of the markup language schemas the service may convert any service data object into a markup language string, and vice versa. All data exchange requests and responses are in the format of markup language strings such that web services perform data exchange with the service through standard internet technologies, for example JavaScript and SOAP. The UI of the service is abstracted to a markup language structure. The definition of interaction points of web services are also standardized, such that other services may customize the service user interface through a simple markup language string, passed via custom code. In this way, deployment and enlightening of web based services in the service may be controlled from the server or web service side.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds or hypochlorous acid probes which can be used as reagents for measuring, detecting and/or screening, directly or indirectly, hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite. Provided also herein are methods that can be used to measure, directly or indirectly, the amount of hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite in chemical samples and biological samples such as cells and tissues in living organisms. Specifically, the methods include the steps of contacting the hypochlorous acid probes disclosed herein with the samples to form one or more fluorescent compounds, and measuring fluorescence properties of the fluorescent compounds. Provided also herein are high-throughput screening fluorescent methods for detecting or screening hypochlorous acid or compounds that can increase or decrease, directly or indirectly, the level of hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite in chemical and biological samples.

Abstract: A binary function database system is provided in which binary functions are extracted from compiled and linked program files and stored in a database as robust abstractions which can be matched with others using one or more function matching heuristics. Such abstraction allows for minor variations in function implementation while still enabling matching with an identical stored function in the database, or with a stored function with a given level of confidence. Metadata associated with each function is also typically generated and stored in the database. In an illustrative example, a structured query language database is utilized that runs on a central database server, and that tracks function names, the program file from which the function is extracted, comments and other associated information as metadata during an analyst's live analysis session to enable known function information that is stored in the database to be applied to binary functions of interest that are disassembled from the program file.

Abstract: A method for enhancing proliferation of bone marrow cells or spleen cells with an alcohol-insoluble extract of a Dioscorea plant tuber obtained by stepwise treatment of an aqueous extract of Dioscorea plant tuber with aqueous-alcohol solvents.

Abstract: An application module enables users of a business application to incorporate a third party payment link into documents (e.g., invoices) that are created in an off-line environment. The third party payment link enables a receiver of an electronic copy of the document to navigate the link to a third party vendor's payment web site, where the receiver makes payment arrangements. In one embodiment, upon navigation of the link, transaction detail is automatically exported from the document into the third party vendor's on-line payment process. Transaction details can be downloaded from the third party payment service and, in one embodiment, are automatically accounted for within an accounting application.
