Abstract: A cooling element for cooling a body, comprising a heat conduction layer coterminous with a proximal side of the cooling element, a heat retardant layer coterminous with a distal side of the cooling element, and a heat sink volume disposed between the heat conduction and heat retardant layers, extending from a proximal boundary with the heat conduction layer to a distal boundary with the heat retardant layer. The heat sink volume comprises a porous material including a first substance; and the heat conduction layer comprises a porous material including a second substance. The first and second substances have thermal properties such that the first substance will solidify at a first temperature, the second substance being in the liquid state at the first temperature. The heat retardant layer has a lower mean thermal conductivity than the heat conduction layer.

Abstract: Macromolecule compositions and related methods that effect targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to effector targets in a desired cell, tissue and/or organ of interest while minimizing or avoiding undesirable delivery to other cells, tissues or organs are provided. Compositions and methods related to macromolecules, such as an ANDbody™, that include an effector target binding domain specific for an effector target, and an address binding domain specific for an address target are described.

Abstract: A technique to automatically identify controls of a software application is disclosed. Attributes of a software application are monitored. The attributes may include control type attributes. The controls are identified by determining a hierarchy of parent controls and children controls. A directed graph may be generated, based on the monitored control attributes, and used to identify the controls. The identified controls may be used for robotic process automation of the software application.

Abstract: An electronic pressure compensated hydraulic motor pump is controlled to provide variable output power based on a variable input signal. The variable output power feature allows the motor pump to be used with a power management system to better match the output power of the motor pump with the available power of an electrical system. The ability to provide variable output power provides beneficial power management for electrical systems that switch between different power modes, e.g., between a generator power mode and a battery power mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed, including a host interface circuit configured to control communication between a set of virtual functions (VFs) and a media management system (MMS). The host interface circuit can consolidate commands from the set of VFs, dynamically allocate write buffers (WBs) from a set of available WBs to the set of VFs using the commands, and manage WB access for the set of VFs and provide write data to the MMS using the allocated WBs. For each VF in the set of VFs, the host interface circuit can manage a submission queue (SQ) for a respective VF from the set of VFs, receive a command from the respective VF, including one or more submission queue entries (SQEs), and coordinate the one or more received SQEs with allocated WBs.

Abstract: A visual software development system in which a user can graphically build a design or software solution without having to write software code includes one or more adapters that interrogate interfaces of the software platform that a software system or systems is built in accordance with and generate descriptions that the user can then incorporate into the design. The software systems can be of disparate technology platforms, an adapter provided that suits each platform. The descriptions can be represented graphically for the user with icons in an integrated development environment (IDE), and the user can build the design by dragging or otherwise selecting descriptions to be used and connecting them together to graphically represent the flow of information or communication of events among the descriptions.
