Abstract: A remote pulse TDR liquid level measurement system and method may include inserting a probe into a body of water. The probe has a probe/air interface, and the body of water includes an air/water interface. A narrow pulse is remotely transmitted to the probe via a coaxial cable. A first impedance mismatch is received from the probe/air interface in a form of a positive reflected pulse, and a second impedance mismatch is received from the air/water interface in a form of a negative reflected pulse. A time between the positive reflected pulse and the negative reflected pulse is calculated, and the time is converted to a distance, the distance being indicative of the water level.

Abstract: A bracing panel for constructing a truss frame having spaced trusses includes first and second engagement members having outer faces extending parallel to each other. A plurality of spacing members are attached to the first and second engagement members. The plurality of spacing members are configured and dimensioned to maintain the outer faces of the first and second engagement members parallel and spaced by a distance equal to a predetermined truss spacing. A bracing member extends between the first and second engagement members and laterally with respect to the spacing members for providing lateral support to the spacing members.

Abstract: Methodologies and technologies for potentiating antibody-based cancer treatments by increasing complement-mediated cell cytotoxicity are disclosed. Further provided are methodologies and technologies for overcoming ineffective treatments correlated with and/or caused by sub-lytic levels of complement-activating monoclonal antibodies (“mAb”) against cancer antigens or cancer antigens with low tumor cell density. While detectable levels of passively administered or vaccine-induced mAb against some antigens are able to delay or prevent tumor growth, low levels of mAb induce sublytic levels of complement activation and accelerate tumor growth. This complement-mediated accelerated tumor growth initiated by low mAb levels results in activation of the PI3K/AKT survival pathway. Methodologies and technologies relating to administration of PI3K inhibitors to overcome low dose mAb-initiated, complement-mediated PI3K activation and accelerated tumor growth are disclosed.

Abstract: Processes for the preparation of the compound of formula (II) and intermediate compounds for use in the processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal synchronization circuit comprising at least one synchronizer (2.1-2.2) comprising a number N of series connected clock delay elements (3.1-3.3), N being equal to or greater than unity and a clock signal generator (1) arranged for generating a modulated clock signal adapted to clock the clock delay element (3.1-3.3) or elements of the at least one synchronizer (2.1-2.2). The clock generator (1) is arranged to receive a clock signal (5) and at least one operating value (6) and to generate the modulated clock signal (1 out) from the clock signal (5) modified based on the operating value (6).

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a credit account are disclosed.

Abstract: A device includes a clamp and a sensor. The sensor can be permanently attached to the clamp and tissue by the force exerted by the clamp. The clamp includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member. The first jaw member has a jaw face and the second jaw member has a complementary face. The second jaw member is held in alignment with the first jaw member by a joint. The joint has an elastic member configured to exert a compressive force between the jaw face and the complementary face. The joint is configured to allow movement of the jaw face relative to the complementary face in directions corresponding to pitch, roll, yaw, and heave. The compressive force is distributed over a surface of the jaw face. The sensor is coupled to the jaw face or held in place by the compressive force of the jaw face. The sensor is configured to generate a sensor signal corresponding to a physiological parameter of tissue proximate the jaw face.
