Abstract: Hybrid buildings, hybrid building systems and methods of constructing hybrid buildings are disclosed. First and second building sections forming part of such buildings are also disclosed. One such hybrid residential building (1600) comprises a first building section (1610) and a second building section (1620). The first building section is an on-site construction at a final location for the building and comprises a lower storey (1611) defining an internal volume (1613) that provides a lower living space (1615) within the building, and an upper storey (1617) defining an internal volume (1619) that provides an upper living space (1621) within the building. The second building section defines an internal volume (1623) and is transportable to the final location in a substantially assembled form. The first and second building sections are connected at the final location to form the building.

Abstract: A dual SIM dual active (DSDA) mobile station can perform a service acquisition procedure for a first subscription, while simultaneously performing a registration procedure for a second subscription. In one aspect of the disclosure, the RX (receive) of the victim during acquisition is delayed and yields to the TX (transmit) of the aggressor that is performing registration. In accordance with another aspect of the disclosure, decode failures on good cells due to RX blanking on the victim subscription during acquisition can be reduced or avoided.

Abstract: The inventors have discovered some striking, and not previously predicted structural similarities and differences between the structure of Novamyl and the reported structures of CGTases, and based on this they have constructed variants of maltogenic alpha-amylase having CGTase activity and variants of CGTase having maltogenic alpha-amylase activity. Further, on the basis of sequence homology between Novamyl® and CGTases, the inventors have constructed hybrid enzymes with one or more improvements to specific properties of the parent enzymes, using recombinant DNA methodology.

Abstract: A system for reducing the costs associated with providing medical care associated with the provision of specialized medical equipment and service is provided. In such a system a common management organization; a group of physicians; and a medical manufacturing, supply, and/or equipment company partner together to provide discounted medical supplies to a hospital or outpatient facility, thereby reducing costs across the healthcare system and creating additional resources within the current medical regulatory framework.

Abstract: A light that can be worn on the head of a user. Although designed originally to be a surgical headlight for use in equine dentistry, it may be used for any purpose in which a light mounted on the user's head is desirable, e.g., lighting a tunnel in a mine. In the preferred embodiment, a headband retains a halogen lamp on the user's head. The lamp is cooled by a combination of a fan similar to that used to cool personal computers, and fins that act as a heat sink to conduct heat away from the light to the surrounding air, where it is carried away by convection. The lamp and the fan can be turned on and off by a switch on the headband. They can be powered by a battery pack. The switch has a cylindrical button that slides back and forth between the on and off position.

Abstract: ‘Jungle Gem’, a Schefflera heptaphylla cultivar. ‘Jungle Gem’ is a moderately vigorous, erect, evergreen shrub with glossy green alternate, deeply toothed, ovate terminal leaves. Each leaf is palmately compound (digitate) with 5-7 leaflets. Each leaflet is deeply toothed with 5-9 teeth. The petiole is long and is sheathed at the stem. The stem is rounded, green at first, and aging to brown.

Abstract: A pump motor control apparatus is adapted to control a pump motor of a forklift truck by using a driving transistor connected between a battery and the pump motor. The pump motor control apparatus includes a current detection circuit for detecting a current flowing through the pump motor to generate a current detection signal representing the current. A controller is employed to determine the load condition based on the current detection signal to thereby generate a control signal for use in the control of the driving transistor. The control signal is a pulse width modulation signal whose on-duty ratio is controlled depending on the load condition so as to decrease the torque and speed of the pump motor during the unloaded condition but to increase the torque and speed of the pump motor during the loaded condition.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Cuphea named ‘CUPP1751’ that is characterized by prolifically self-branching dense and compact mounding plant habit, bi-colored bright vermillion-red and lemon-yellow tubular flowers which are borne in great profusion. In combination, these characteristics set ‘CUPP1751’ apart from all other existing varieties of Cuphea known to the inventor.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Cuphea named ‘CUPP1752’ that is characterized by prolifically self-branching dense and compact plant habit, dark green leaves with contrasting pale grey-green venation, and multicolored white, blushed-orange, scarlet and violet tubular flowers which are borne in profusion, is disclosed.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Camellia plant named ‘CAM130’ is disclosed, characterized by a distinctive compact, habit. Foliage is dark green and plants have been observed to have good disease resistance. The new cultivar is a Camellia, suitable for ornamental garden purposes.
