Abstract: The smart lamp combines an energy-efficient LED light with a flexible mounting arm for smartphones or tablets, a Bluetooth speaker, and a smartphone or tablet charger. The smart lamp uses less desk space by bundling three electronic devices into one convenient lamp. The user positions their cellular devices onto the mount at the end of the adjustable arm, thus keeping the phone within reach. Moreover, this modern device enables users to set ideal lighting, based on preference, while the universal phone charging ports allow for simultaneously charging up to (2) two phones. The disclosed invention ensures a fully operational, multi-purpose lamp that bundles up various electronic devices into one highly-functional product as a means to use less desk space and ensure a more versatile home accessory.

Abstract: A post clamp is disclosed as it may include one or more buffer components. In an example, each buffer component has a first shape on a post side and a second shape on a strap side. The post side is substantially flat and the strap side is substantially arc shaped. In an example, the post clamp also includes a fastener configured to strap the at least one buffer component against a post to secure the at least one buffer component to the post. In an example, the strap side of each of the buffer components has ridges forming a valley between the ridges. The fastener is configured to sit within the valley between the ridges so that the ridges maintain the fastener each of the buffer components and keep the fastener from slipping partially or fully off of the buffer components.

Abstract: A control center receives, from the first bank, a first request with a first set of requirements for placement of reciprocal deposits. A second request with a second set of requirements is received from a second bank. The control center determines whether the first set of requirements matches the second set of requirements, which include maturity and interest rate. In response to a match, the control center performs an exchange of on-balance sheet deposits meeting the first set of requirements from the first bank to off-balance sheet deposits to the second bank. The first bank receives reciprocal deposits meeting the second set of requirements as new on-balance sheet deposits.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for facilitating the exchange of reciprocal deposits are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a system for facilitating the exchange of reciprocal deposits. The system includes a first bank for participating in an exchange of reciprocal deposits and a control center for implementing an exchange of reciprocal deposits between the first bank and a second bank for receiving deposits. The control center receives requests for placement of reciprocal deposits, determines requirements of depositing and receiving banks, and facilitates exchange of reciprocal deposits in accordance with the requirements.

Abstract: Syringe having a plunger, a barrel and a restrictor mechanism between the shaft of the plunger and the barrel and including a first part engaged with the barrel for limiting movement of the first part with respect to the barrel in a first direction, and a second part. The restrictor mechanism and/or plunger shaft carries a formation for limiting movement of the restrictor mechanism with respect to the plunger in the first direction. The restrictor mechanism as a further member which restricts movement of the restrictor mechanism with respect to the barrel or plunger shaft in a second direction. A latch member prevents he further member from restricting movement of the restrictor mechanism with respect to the barrel or plunger shaft in the second direction until a predetermined point in an operation cycle of the syringe.

Abstract: A disposable syringe (2) is disclosed. Withdrawal of a plunger handle (18) in the direction of arrow B to fill the syringe causes a moveable safety bobbin (20) to lock, and shaft (16) slides in the direction of arrow B relative to safety bobbin (20) and washer (22). Subsequent depression of plunger handle (18) in the direction of arrow A causes safety bobbin (20) to move along barrel (4), from which position it can not be withdrawn. This therefore prevents subsequent withdrawal of piston (14) and therefore prevents re-use of the syringe.

Abstract: The present invention is predicated on the discovery of certain interactions between cellular growth factors and opposing actions that control differentiation and migration or invasion of cytotrophoblasts into the uterine endometrium during pregnancy. IGF-II and latent transforming growth factor beta (TGF?), the inactive precursor of TGF?, compete for binding to the CIM6P receptor. IGF-II prevents latent TGF? binding to the CIM6P receptor. The invention therefore offers a method of regulating and directing cytotrophoblast differentiation and function based on the interaction between IGF-II, latent TGF? and the CIM6P receptor. There is disclosed a method of regulating cytotrophoblast and stem cell differentiation and migration characterized by adjusting levels of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) available for binding to the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate (CIM6P) receptor. The discovery may be applied to embryonic or adult stem cells to control their differentiation and migratory behaviour.

Abstract: A catheter or similar device, particularly a female transient urinary catheter (1), comprises a rigid polypropylene tube having a saw tooth formation (4) providing a flexible region which separates a handle portion (2) from an insertion portion (3). In the insertion portion are formed apertures (6, 9) in the distal tip of the catheter and in the side of the catheter (1) towards the distal end. The tip aperture (6) has a rolled over edge (7) and the side apertures (9) are formed in recesses (8) in the external profile of the catheter. A scaling portion (10) comprises a sinusoidal undulation in the catheter wall which effects an improved seal between the catheter and the wall of the urethra.
