Abstract: A processing device has a plurality of interfaces and a plurality of processors. During different phases of execution of a computer program, different processors are associated with different interfaces, such that the connectivity between processors and interfaces for the sending of egress data and the receiving of ingress data may change during execution of that computer program. The change in this connectivity is directed by the compiled code running on the processors. The compiled code selects which buses associated with which interfaces, given processors are to connect to for receipt of ingress data. Furthermore, the compiled code causes control messages to be sent to circuitry associated with the interfaces, so as to control which buses associated with which processors, given interfaces are to connect to.

Abstract: FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) can represent powerful adoptive immunotherapies for autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases, and other chronic inflammatory diseases. The present invention is related to the ability to maintain and expand stable Treg lines and can provide insight into FOXP3+ Treg physiology and can enable feasible strategies of Treg-based immunotherapy.

Abstract: The invention provides a trenching apparatus and a method of using a trenching apparatus. The trenching apparatus (100) may include a main body portion (10), trench cutting equipment (50) depending from the main body portion, at least two ground contacting units (16) arranged on opposed sides of the main body portion and on which the main body portion is supported, each of the ground contacting units being connected to the main body portion by a respective independently operable suspension assembly (20), the respective suspension assemblies being configured to compensate for unevenness of the ground thereby to maintain the trench cutting equipment in a desired angular orientation with respect to the vertical.

Abstract: A material processing apparatus comprises a conveyor that is rotatable in vertical direction around a horizontal axis that is situated in an element rotatable in horizontal direction relative to the apparatus. The element is articulated to the apparatus at a main point of articulation, and at a point remote from the main point of articulation, articulated to a variable length element which in turn is articulated to the apparatus, and the element is connected to an actuator causing the horizontal rotational movement of the element together with the conveyor, defined by said main point of articulation.

Abstract: The present invention is comprised of modular shelving, which is further comprised of modules and horizontal planks or shelves. Each module is generally comprised of an exterior shell that may be in the form of a wide variety of different shapes. Each module is preferably comprised of a molded polymer exterior shell. The interior volume of the module may be filled with a semi-rigid or rigid foam material or other structural members or materials to provide additional support for the horizontal planks. Each module also has at least one channel that passes through the module. Each channel is of a size and shape adapted to receive and hold one of the horizontal planks. It is also possible to stack the modules of the modular shelving upon one another. The present invention also includes a method of assembling the modular shelving.

Abstract: A method of moulding an article having a relatively small thickness in relation to its dimensions in plan including providing a mould for the article, locating or forming one or more inserts on a mould face which will define a part of the surface of the moulded article, introducing the material to be moulded into the mould, providing attachment means with an irregular surface in contact with the material, maintaining the mould in such an orientation while the material hardens and mechanically bonds to the attachment means, such that the said mould face is inclined to the horizontal at an angle at which the or each insert is retained on the said face against slipping by friction during the hardening of the material, and providing gas-outlet means from an upper part of the mould in the said orientation to allow the escape of gases during the moulding process. The attachment means is treated on one face or provided with knit loops so as to adhere to the material of the article during curing.

Abstract: The continuous, flexible, looped track for mounting on all terrain vehicle tires of the present invention includes a plurality of used tires joined together, end to end, to make a continuous flexible track. A tread surface and sidewalls of each tire of the plurality of used tires are severed through at a first location on each tire so as to form first and second faces on opposite ends of each tire segment so formed when laid flat. The tire segments are abutted end-to-end and joined together, so as to join the second face of a first tire segment to the first face of an adjacent second tire segment and so on in succession joining the plurality of used tires in end-to-end array so as to form the track. The track is formed when an inner circumference of the track is equal to an exterior tangential perimeter distance of the vehicle tires about which the track is to extend.
