Abstract: A power generating apparatus is provided. The alternator includes a rotor, a stator, one or more sensors and an electrical circuit. The rotor includes a plurality of symmetric phase windings while the stator has a single phase winding. The excitation control device is configured to control the induced voltage generated in the stator by regulating the rotating magnetic field generated in the phase windings of the rotor. The excitation control device is also configured to regulate the engine speed responsive to calculated load power. The electrical circuit connects the single phase winding of the stator and the load and is configured in a way that the induced voltage generated in the single phase winding and the output voltage applied to the load are at the same frequency. This arrangement reduces costs of the apparatus.

Abstract: An off-grid power generating apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an engine, an alternator and an excitation control device. The alternator includes a rotor, a switch and a stator. The switch is movable between a first position and a second position. An output portion of the stator has first and second segments each of which has at least one coil. The first and second segments are operatively and separately connected with the switch. The first and second segments are connected in series at the first position and in parallel at the second position to provide a high voltage and a low voltage respectively. The excitation control device controls the output voltage to make it have a predetermined frequency, and to regulate the engine speed in response to the load power of the engine.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for diagnosing a renal allograft recipient's risk for developing fibrosis of the allograft and allograft loss. The method includes determining the expression levels of certain microRNAs, which have been determined to be predictive of an allograft recipient's risk. Also disclosed herein is a method of treating a renal allograft recipient to inhibit fibrosis of the allograft and allograft loss, as well as kits for use in the methods disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method includes a service processor of an information handling system downloading code, including device drivers, and transferring the code to an operating system of the information handling system without rebooting the operating system. In some embodiments, a daemon of the operating system may request device drivers for newly-inserted devices and the service processor may make the device drivers available to the operating system in response to the requests. In some embodiments, the service processor may download updated device drivers and may inform the daemon. The updated device drivers may be automatically provided to the operating system or made available upon a request of a user. The service processor may make code available to the operating system by exposing a portion of its non-volatile memory to the operating system as a virtual device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for diagnosing acute cellular rejection (ACR) of an allograft by analysis of predictive gene sets and kits for practicing these methods.

Abstract: A method for identifying a renal allograft recipient at risk for chronic allograft damage or interstutial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) by comparing the transcription level of a preselected gene signature set with the transcription level of a comparison standard, and diagnosing the recipient as being at risk for chronic allograft damage if the transcription level of the preselected gene signature set is significantly higher than the transcription level of the comparison standard.

Abstract: This study presents a new USB protocol based computer acceleration device that uses multi-channel single-level cell NAND type flash memory (SLC NAND) and Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cache. This device includes a main controller chip, at least one SLC NAND module, and a USB interface to connect the device to a computer. It then creates and assigns a cache file in SLC NAND and DRAM for the computer cache system, caches the common used applications, and read and pre-reads frequently used files. The device drive improves the USB protocol, optimizes the BOT protocol in the traditional USB interface protocol, and optimizes resource allocation for the USB transport protocol. The algorithm and framework of the device employ the following design: 1. The device virtualizes the application programs for pre-storing all program files and the system environment files required by programs into the device. 2.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor and a management controller separate from the processor. The management controller is operable to boot the information handling system to a system service management module, direct the system service management module to execute diagnostics code on the processor and to store a result from the execution of the diagnostics code in a predetermined memory location. The management controller is also operable to retrieve the result from the predetermined memory location.

Abstract: Remote RAID system configuration may be implemented in an embedded and out-of-band manner using an information handling system configured, for example, as a RAID server. The remote RAID configuration may be implement, for example, on a RAID server system in the condition as it is supplied directly out-of-the-box to a user without requiring downloading of any additional software or firmware, without requiring presence of a management framework and plug in, and/or in a manner that is operating system (OS)-independent or that requires no OS to be present on the server. The RAID server may then be remotely reconfigured one or more times thereafter.
