Abstract: Methods for checking for the availability of a rental resource by providing a pre-computed availability data set for at least one rental resource including an availability data entry for each of a plurality of rental periods beginning on each of a plurality of start times and extending for each of a plurality of time units, receiving a rental resource availability request including at least a desired rental period which has a start time and an end time, querying the pre-computed availability data set for the desired rental period, determining, based on the querying, whether or not a rental resource is available for the rental period, and returning a positive response when a rental resource is available for the desired rental period.

Abstract: The present invention is related to new 2-oxo-cyclic compound the process for preparing them and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating the inflammatory disease comprising the pain or inflammation caused by rheumatic disease, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthopathies, gout, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and juvenile arthritis, and inflammatory syndrome for example, from myositis, gingivitis, synovitis, ankylosing spondylitis, burstitis, burns and scar, inflammatory Crohn's disease, Types I diabetes. therefore, it can be used as the therapeutics for treating and preventing inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: Method affecting the interior of human flesh, providing modulated power signal to at least one solenoid to create a modulated solenoid action delivered through a mechanical interface to the human flesh to create a modulated audio effect into the interior. Providing the modulated power signal may include receiving an audio signal to create the modulated power signal, which may include fetching a down-converted audio signal and the audio signal from a memory device and/or frequency-down-converting the audio signal to create the down-converted audio signal. Receiving the audio signal may further include solenoid amplifying the down-converted signal to create the modulated power signal. The modulated audio effect into the interior of the human flesh, the modulated power signal and the down-converted audio signal are products of this method. Apparatus implementing the solenoid amplifying, receiving the audio signal, frequency-down-converting the audio signal in a variety of configurations.

Abstract: The present invention is related to novel use of 2-oxo-heterocyclic compounds having anticancer activity and the process for preparing them and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.

Abstract: A wearable infrastructure is used with a music/multimedia player to acoustically provide at last one symbol sequence to at least one biologically active zone on the user wearing the wearable infrastructure. The invention includes the symbol coding sequence as a program system comprising program steps residing in a memory accessibly coupled to a computer within the music/multimedia player, directing the music/multimedia player to deliver the symbol sequence to at least one of the possibly multiple transponders. The program steps are often coded in an intermediate language interpreted by the computer.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner with a main body, an upper body and a lower body. The upper body, in which a motor and dust collector are installed, is joined to the lower body, which supports the upper body and also allows the rotation of the upper body. Coupling means joins the upper body to the lower body so as to allow the upper body to rotate on the lower body. One of the coupling means is fixed on the upper body's bottom center, and the other end is a shaft that is joined to the lower body's top center. A bearing member is installed between the upper body's bottom and the lower body's top surface so as to reduce frictional resistance between the two components. The bearing member includes grooves formed on the top surface of the lower body, and balls seated in the grooves that move freely therein, thereby preventing damage to a connecting hose connecting the cleaner's cleaning attachment with the main body.

Abstract: A remote controllable automatic moving vacuum cleaner comprises a body having a separate intake port to intake dust, a powered moving device enabling the body to be moved forward and backward, a powered direction changing device enabling the body to be moved leftward and rightward and a wired or wireless remote control to control the devices in order to freely move the body.

Abstract: An error correction method and apparatus for correcting multiple errors in received digital data word signals calculates syndromes S.sub.0, S.sub.1, S.sub.2 and S.sub.3 from a block of n received data words and a parity check matrix H. First coefficients .sigma..sub.1 and .sigma..sub.2 are calculated from the derived syndromes and a second coefficient K is calculated from the first coefficients .sigma..sub.1 and .sigma..sub.2. An error location value x.sub.1 is calculated from the second coefficient K, actual error location values X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are calculated from the value x.sub.1, and error values Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 are calculated from the actual error location values X.sub.1 and X.sub.2. The received data words are then corrected by applying the calculated error values Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2. The error location value x.sub.1 calculator is preferably constituted by logic gates which enable the apparatus to be smaller and faster than those using a conventional ROM table.

Abstract: An operation method and apparatus over Galois Field GF(2.sup.m) using a subfield GF(2.sup.m/2). The operation apparatus includes a conversion circuit for converting the elements represented by a basis of GF(2.sup.m) into the elements represented by a basis of GF(2.sup.m/2); an operation circuit for performing an operation over GF(2.sup.m/2) with respect to the elements represented by the basis of GF(2.sup.m/2); and a reversion circuit for reverting the operated elements represented by the basis of GF(2.sup.m/2) to the elements represented by the basis of GF(2.sup.m), thereby performing high speed operation and simplifying circuit construction.

Abstract: This invention presents improved epoxy-based die attach adhesives which are of low viscosity, high ionic purity, and stable toward thermal cycling. This improvement is obtained by including in the formulation carboxy terminated polymers which are the reaction products of polyether diols with cyclic dianhydrides.
