Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is performed by a middleware computing platform and includes maintaining an active user pool that includes a plurality of servicing users. The method also includes exposing an on-demand service-request interface to a plurality of user-to-user service platforms. The method further includes receiving, via the on-demand service-request interface, a service request from a particular platform of the plurality of user-to-user service platforms. In addition, the method includes automatically selecting a servicing user from the active user pool based, at least in part, on real-time availability of the plurality of servicing users and information included in the service request. Furthermore, the method includes assigning the servicing user to the service request. The method also includes transmitting, to the servicing user, a uniform resource locator to the particular platform.

Abstract: A method is provided for treating patients suffering from elevated intraocular pressure or fluctuation in intraocular pressure, including for example glaucoma patients. The method comprises administering to the patient an inhibitor of orexin activity in an amount sufficient to reduce intraocular pressure or intraocular pressure fluctuation in one or both eyes of the patient.

Abstract: A method for treating symptoms associated with a dramatic reduction in reproductive hormone levels is provided, particularly in menopausal women and breast cancer survivors undergoing aromatase inhibitor therapy. The method comprises administered to a subject an inhibitor of orexin activity in an amount sufficient to reduce or decrease onset, progression, severity, frequency, duration or probability of one or more such symptoms. A method of detecting compounds having activity for relieving menopausal symptoms is also provided.

Abstract: A recyclable permeable building membrane comprising a base layer of recycled polyester material having a gram per square meter (gsm) weight ranging from about 120 gsm to about 200 gsm and a top layer of virgin polyester material bonded to said base layer having a gram per square meter weight ranging from about 20 gsm to about 80 gsm bonded to said base layer, said membrane being an air barrier and having a permeability of at least 65 perms.

Abstract: A system allows transmittal of digital medical images of patients being transferred from a sending medical institution to a receiving medical institution. The system uses institutional account passwords, physician specific passwords, and a patient specific digital imaging data code (PSDIDC). Digital medical imaging data is uploaded to the system website server by the sending medical physician through HIPAA compliant firewalls and VPN in standard digital formats including but not limited the DICOM format. The PSDIDC is generated by the website server after the data upload is complete and available only to the sending institution and physician. The PSDIDC is unique and is never used again. Using out-of-band communication, such as telephonic communication, the sending physician provides the PSDIDC to the receiving physician while both physicians may be logged on to the service website with their on site computers and passwords.

Abstract: An oscillator circuit (143) comprises a master phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit (202) that receives as input a first reference frequency signal (136) and generates a first clock signal (210) in response to an oscillator control signal (212). The oscillator circuit (143) includes a frequency sensitive slave circuit (206) having at least one frequency sensitive element (322) that is responsive to a tracking control signal (214) to generate a second clock signal (216). A tracking control circuit (204) is responsive to the oscillator control signal (212) for generating the tracking control signal (214). The tracking control signal (214) serves as a bias signal, and is connected to the frequency sensitive slave circuit (206) for achieving a fast power up sequence of the oscillator circuit (143).

Abstract: The disclosure is of a wheeled truck or transport vehicle, adapted for elevating and supporting the nose wheel of an airplane, of the small or private class, and transporting it about the landing field. The truck has a horizontal nose roller, adapted to be rammed under the nose wheel of the airplane landing gear, and to thereby elevate the nose wheel. The advancing truck has, just behind the nose roller, a horizontally pivoted gate, initially swung down to act as a platform, and behind that a turntable. These ride under the nose wheel, one after the other, as the nose roller is thrust under the nose wheel of the airplane and then on beyond. The gate already mentioned is initially positioned in an approximately horizontal position, just in back of the nose cylinder of the truck, and is pivoted at the bottom on the normally front edge of the turntable.
