Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for robotic learning and execution of skills. A robotic apparatus can include a memory, a processor, sensors, and one or more movable components (e.g., a manipulating element and/or a transport element). The processor can be operatively coupled to the memory, the movable elements, and the sensors, and configured to obtain information of an environment, including one or more objects located within the environment. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to learn skills through demonstration, exploration, user inputs, etc. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to execute skills and/or arbitrate between different behaviors and/or actions. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to execute skills and/or behaviors using cached trajectories or plans. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to execute skills requiring navigation and manipulation behaviors.

Abstract: A system for controlling the transfer of a signal sequence in a first clock domain to a plurality of other clock domains. The system comprising: detecting circuitry for detecting receipt of the signals from the clock domains and setting an update signal when all of the signals received from the clock domains have a common state; and gating circuitry for receiving the update signal and operable, when the update signal is set, to allow a next signal in the sequence to be received at the input of the first circuitry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination of a NK3 receptor antagonist with a 5HT2A receptor antagonist and/or a D2 receptor antagonist, and the use of the combination in treating schizophrenia and associated conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of gaboxadol, or a combination of gaboxadol and one or more anti-inflammatory compounds, for the treatment of an inflammatory disease. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising gaboxadol and one or more anti-inflammatory compounds. The present invention further relates to a method of treating a disease wherein one or more inflammatory markers are increased, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that enhances GABAA-ergic neurotransmission.

Abstract: The compound of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, especially the mesylate salt, is of use in a method for the treatment and/or prevention of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Abstract: A traveling wave heat engine can be used both as a heat engine and a heat pump. When it operates as an engine, thermal energy is converted into acoustical traveling waves from an acoustical wave source, which if desired, can be further converted into more conventional forms of electrical and mechanical power. When it operates as a heat pump, acoustical traveling waves supply the motivating force to pump heat. An object such as a flame holding screen, heat exchanger, or regenerator creates a stationary temperature gradient in the compressible working fluid of the engine. As acoustical traveling waves pass through this temperature gradient, they cause the fluid there to move through the gradient and back and so be heated or cooled in conjunction with the compression and expansion phases of the wave.
