Abstract: A system for dispensing a detergent solution from a solid detergent into a dishwasher includes a dispenser that can collect water sprayed into the dishwasher and use the collected water to produce the detergent solution by dissolving a portion of the solid detergent, controlling the amount of the detergent solution produced, and releasing the produced detergent solution between cleaning cycles. The dispenser can perform these functions automatically without being electrically powered.

Abstract: This invention describes new methods for the mobilization of human cells such as hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow, and the subsequent collection of such cells from the peripheral blood of deceased donors. These methods produce quantities of hematopoietic stem cells that can be used in a multitude of possible applications without harming the deceased donor or the recovery of the deceased donor's organs for solid organ transplantation. The methods involve the administration of one or more mobilizing agents to mobilize bone marrow cells into the peripheral blood cells followed by the collection of cells via apheresis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are engineered P. putida KT2440 co-expressing PETase and MHETase enzymes that selectively degrades PET into monomers, ethylene glycol and terephthalate (TPA). In another embodiment, disclosed herein are methods for making and using a highly efficient EG metabolizing P. putida KT2440 strain. Given that native P. putida does not have a TPA metabolic pathway, nor the proteins to transport TPA into the cell, the next metabolic engineering challenge for developing synthetic P. putida strain to plastic upcycling was enabling TPA catabolism in P. putida KT2440. TPA transporters and catabolic pathway have been characterized in several microorganisms including Comamonas sp. strain E6 and Rhodococcus jostii RHA1.

Abstract: Coordinate multi-point (CoMP) transmission is facilitated by resolving collisions between feedback reporting. Based upon the conditions within the network, collision resolution may be by dropping a channel report during a subframe, multiplexing channel reports from a plurality of user equipment, compressing channel reports from a plurality of user equipment, and combined reporting, either through joint reports or by using carrier aggregation, for conditions between a user equipment and a plurality of transmission points. New signaling and reporting formats facilitate selection of a collision resolution suitable for current network conditions.
