Abstract: Introduced here are pressure-mitigation apparatuses for mitigating the pressure applied to a human body by the support surface of an object. The pressure-mitigation apparatus can include a series of chambers that can be individually controlled to vary the pressure therein. By varying the chamber pressure, the main point of pressure applied by the support surface to the human body may be moved across the surface of the human body. An attachment apparatus may be used to securely adhere the pressure-mitigation apparatus to the support surface.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for decarbonation of limestone, dolomite or other carbonated materials and hydration of the decarbonated limestone, dolomite or other carbonated materials. The process may include: heating particles of carbonated materials in a reactor of a first circuit; conveying the particles of carbonated materials by a first entraining gas; transferring the decarbonated particles to a second circuit, in which a second gas circulates, the circuit comprising a hydration section; hydrating the decarbonated particles; and transferring at least a portion of the heat generated by the hydration of the decarbonated particles to the second gas being substantially free of carbon dioxide; The first and second circuits are separated by first selective separation means allowing the passage of solids while substantially preventing the passage of the gases.

Abstract: Systems and methods for are provided for predicting impending failure of a database and preemptively initiating mitigating failover actions, for example by shedding connections or redirecting connection requests to an alternate database that can fulfill resources being requested. In an example embodiment, to detect a slow or unstable database, connection wait times are monitored over a rolling window of time intervals, a quantity of intervals in which at least one excessive wait time event occurred are counted during the time window, and if the quantity exceeds a threshold, the database is deemed unavailable, thereby triggering connection adjustments.

Abstract: A method of forming a glass body, the method including pressing titania-doped silica soot to form a molded body, consolidating the molded body by heating the molded body, annealing the consolidated molded body, and polishing at least one surface of the annealed molded body to form the glass body. After the polishing, the at least one surface of the glass body has a waviness amplitude of about 0.60 nm or less in the spatial frequency range of 0.05 mm?1 or more and 0.2 mm?1 or less.

Abstract: Introduced here are methods, apparatuses, and systems for mitigating the contact pressure applied to a human body by the surface of an object, such as a chair, bed, or table. A pressure-mitigation apparatus can include a series of chambers whose pressure can be individually varied. When placed between a patient and a contact surface, a controller can vary the contact pressure on the human body by controllably inflating one or more chambers, deflating one or more chambers, or any combination thereof. By monitoring the pressure in each chamber over time, the controller can also gain an enhanced understanding of movement(s) performed by the human body when positioned on the pressure-mitigation apparatus.

Abstract: Provided are cyclic peptide analogs, conjugates comprising such compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and conjugates, and methods of treating cancer with such compounds and conjugates.

Abstract: A device and method for monitoring respiration in freely moving subjects uses measurement of changes in axial circumference during respiration to compute, store, and display respiratory rate, volume flows, and drive patterns. Since the embodiments allow a direct absolute measure of circumference throughout the respiratory cycle, they are amenable to low frequency sampling and provide an opportunity to use anthropometric scaling without resorting to concomitant spirometry. Belt sensors arranged in parallel to belt tautening forces permit independent adjustment of pre-load forces on the displacement-measuring components. The monitoring system can be used at home to facilitate a wide range of health and fitness objectives such as tracking dysfunctional breathing patterns, optimizing athletic training, and learning relaxation practices such a pranayama.

Abstract: Systems and methods for priority encoded domains in an SoC have been described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a processing system in an SoC, may include: a core, and a domain access controller coupled to the core. The domain access controller may be configured to: receive a resource transaction request from a master device associated with a software-defined processing domain, and process the resource transaction request based upon a priority level of the software-defined processing domain. The domain access controller may also order a plurality of resource transaction requests based upon the associated respective priority levels, and provide the resource transaction requests to resources based on the order. A hypervisor can also use the priority levels of the software-defined processing domains to allocate a plurality of virtual machines to a plurality of processing cores according to the priority levels.
