Abstract: A method and system for creating a composite security rating from security characterization data of a third party computer system. The security characterization data is derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system. Advantageously, the composite security score has a relatively high likelihood of corresponding to an internal audit score despite use of externally observable security characteristics. Also, the method and system may include use of multiple security characterizations all solely derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system.

Abstract: Methods for removing heavy metals from a phosphoric acid solution produced in a wet process for manufacturing phosphoric acid, comprising treating the wet-process phosphoric acid solution with a small amount of a solid adsorbing material and a complex reagent to form a heavy metal complex-contaminated solid adsorbing material, and removing the contaminated solid adsorbing material to yield a treated phosphoric acid solution having a low heavy metal content.

Abstract: Compounds, tautomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds are disclosed, wherein the compounds have the structure of Formula Ia, as defined in the specification. In an embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition can be in a liquid dosage form and can comprise a therapeutically effective amount of the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an adjuvant and a therapeutic agent. In another embodiment, a method of adjuvant treating a disorder or condition can comprising administering the pharmaceutical composition to a patient.

Abstract: An automated laboratory system includes a storage system including a frame and a platform slidably mounted to the frame such that the platform is slidable relative to the frame between a docked position and an undocked position, the platform being configured to carry an instrument. The system also includes a robotic device proximate the storage system and being configured to access the instrument carried by the platform. Another automated laboratory system includes a storage system including a table and a tabletop having a central axis and being rotatably positioned on the table such that the tabletop is rotatable about the central axis between a docked position and an undocked position, the tabletop being configured to carry an instrument. The system also includes a robotic device proximate the storage system and being configured to access the instrument carried by the tabletop.

Abstract: A polymer melt candle filter having a support which comprises a hollow cylindrical body defined by a first end, a second end, and a cylinder wall having a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion includes a screw thread on its outside surface and optionally a hex fitting on its inside surface for receiving a hex wrench. The second end portion includes a plurality of holes in the cylinder wall. The area of the openings of the holes on the outside surface of the cylinder wall may be larger than the area of the openings of the corresponding holes on the inside surface of the cylinder wall. The shape of the openings of the holes on the outside surface may be non-circular.

Abstract: Decoupling loop dependencies using first in, first out (FIFO) buffers or other types of buffers to enable pipelining of loops is disclosed. By using buffers along with tailored ordering of their writes and reads, loop dependencies can be decoupled. This allows the loop to be pipelined and can lead to improved performance.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and computer program product that enhances the efficiency and quality of matches between intellectual content generated by authors and published by peer-reviewed journals. Stable matches between works and stakeholders are modelled, in a nonbinding manner, via a stable-matching problem (Gale-Shapley) algorithm. Via bulletin-board systems acting upon deidentified data, the LONGITUDE function enables journal editors to proactively and reliably commit time and other resources to manuscripts that are most mature and otherwise meritorious. Via the SCRIMSHAW function, COMPASS assists authors in drafting and editing papers that are based on quality-control and journal author guidelines and hence more likely to be accepted by journals. Functions of COMPASS are divisible into two major domains: “matching” and “dispatching.” The “matching” is fulfilled by three subfunctions: LONGITUDE, DECK WEDDING, and FATHOM.
