Abstract: A computer system is provided for calculating an environmental impact for a separately accountable business unit. The system accesses accounts data indicative of internal costs for the separately accountable business unit and supplier costs comprising costs paid to suppliers for goods or services used in the economic activities of the separately accountable business unit. The internal costs and supplier costs of the accounts data are processed to determine the environmental impact for the separately accountable business unit, wherein the environmental impact comprises the impact on the environment as a consequence of the economic activities of the separately accountable business unit.

The described targeted binding agents are useful in the treatment of diseases associated with the activity and/or overproduction of KDR and as diagnostics.

Abstract: The invention is an Intelligent Conveyor Adjustment System (ICAS). The ICAS gives the user a way to adjust guide rails and other devices used in a conveyor system with actuators that can receive instructions based on a specific communications interface, such an interface may consist of but is not limited to serial wired network, an 802.11 compatible network, a power line network, and as described in the examples a wireless network, in a fashion to position rails or other devices on a conveyor system or in machines associated with a conveyor system. The actuators can be but are not limited to varying types, linear, rotary, push/pull covered cable, flexible strips, lever, pivoting, scissor, or other dual actuating mechanisms. The ACMs are used to control the actuators which control the relative position and shape of guide rails on the sides of the conveyor as well as position of various other conveyor entities such as, but not limited to, timing screws, labelers, marking machines, barcode readers, and fillers.

Abstract: A method and system for calculating an environmental score are described and generally related to calculating a score for a separately accountable business unit, where the score is indicative of external costs for the business unit. A computer system for calculating a score for a separately accountable business unit, the score being indicative of a level of unaccounted for external environmental cost of economic activities of the separately accountable business unit, the system includes accessing means for accessing accounts data indicative of recognized costs for the separately accountable business unit, accounts processing means for processing the accounts data by adding external environmental costs to the recognized costs and for calculating the score for the separately accountable business unit using the processed accounts data.

Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems and methods for treatment of tissue within a lumen of a body. For example, the devices described herein may be used to treat the urethra or gastrointestinal tract, including a sphincter. These devices may provide an expandable element at the distal end of an elongate body and may also include a plurality of electrodes (e.g., needle electrodes) configured to extend from the device and into the tissue to deliver energy to multiple, circumferentially arranged treatment sites. Sufficient energy may be delivered from the device to create a desired tissue effect.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling internet traffic controls internet traffic directed to a non-existing domain in a centralized manner. Instead of a non-existing domain response, the user may receive alternative responses such as a landing page including useful information and resourceful suggestions under the control of a global controller. The centralized control over the user's request may be implemented by redirecting a DNS query to the global controller or an optimal search guide server at an individual internet service provider level. Redirection of the DNS query may involve a record modification of a domain name resolution response indicating the non-existing domain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit of a5b1 function, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them as the active ingredient, to their use as medicaments and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the treatment in warm blooded animals such as humans of diseases that have a significant angiogenesis or vascular component such as for treatment of solid tumours. The present invention also relates to compounds that inhibit a5b1, and also that exhibit appropriate selectivity profile(s) against other integrins.
