Abstract: Electronic submissions, such as those for capital markets, are processed by evaluating the data contained in the electronic submissions against failure conditions. The failure conditions may include a static failure condition and a scalar failure condition. The static failure condition identifies a data element that is to be present or absent for the static failure condition to be met. The scalar failure condition identifies data that is to conform to an inequation for the scalar failure condition to be met. The electronic submission can be approved upon completion of the evaluation when all failure conditions are not met. The electronic submission can be thus approved with no human analyst intervention or review needed. When one or more failure condition is met, the electronic submission requires further analysis. Specific advantageous failure conditions are discussed. Feedback can be employed to increase approvals that trigger no failure conditions.

Abstract: Cellulosic tissue sheets having temporary moisture barrier properties are prepared by applying a solution of reactive size in emollient at an elevated temperature to a previously formed tissue sheet.

Abstract: A disposable paper towel with an anti-microbial lotion and is provided with a chromatic transfer indicator which undergoes a delayed, visually perceptible color change at a predetermined time after the towel is wetted. An anti-microbial lotion on the towel increases water absorbency times (WAR) to further promote lotion transfer to the skin and increase lotion transfer effectiveness.

Abstract: A method of treating a disease associated with activated B lymphocytes expressing Tetraspanin 33 (TSPAN33/BAAM). The disease can be, for example, lymphoma or an immune disease. The method includes administering an anti-TSPAN33/BAAM antibody to a patient in need of such treatment in an amount effective to treat the disease. Methods of purifying activated B cells and identifying activated and/or diseased B cells are also provided.

Abstract: A method and a system for sensing a boosting target missile, estimate position and velocity and boost acceleration parameters of the target missile, and control an interceptor missile to the target missile. A boost-phase missile target state estimator estimates at least acceleration, velocity, and position using an acceleration template for the target vehicle. The nominal template is incorporated into an extended Kalman filter which corrects the nominal template acceleration with the filter states to predict future thrust acceleration, velocity and position. The correction can compensate for motor burn variations and missile energy management (lofted/depressed trajectory).

Abstract: A method for acquiring high-resolution images of defects on the upper surface of the wafer edge is disclosed. For this purpose, first the position of at least one defect on the upper surface of the wafer edge is determined. The thus determined position of the defect is stored. Then the wafer is transferred into device for micro-inspection, in which the defect is examined more closely and imaged. The images acquired in the device for micro-inspection are deposited in a directory.
