Abstract: A trigger has an upper board and a lower board. The lower board is detachably mounted on the upper board and has an open slot and an elongate board. The open slot is formed through an end of the lower board, and the elongate board is formed on the middle of the open slot and extends to the end of the lower board. The free end of the elongate board is bent perpendicularly to the elongate board. The door track with the trigger includes two installation boards, and two ribs are formed on the two installation boards respectively and extend toward each other. The upper board is mounted on the top surfaces of the ribs of the installation boards, and the lower board is mounted on the bottom surfaces of the ribs. When the sliding door collides with the trigger, the trigger can be deformed and prevents the slider of the sliding door from being restricted by the trigger.

Abstract: A liposomal drug formulation for treating a disease in a patient characterized by overexpression of HIF-1? and/or HIF-2? includes a plurality of liposomes in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The liposomes encapsulate echinomycin and are made from a peglyated phospholipid, a neutral phosphoglyceride, and a sterol. The PEGylated liposomes may be used to treat proliferative diseases, leukemia, cancer, autoimmune diseases and graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract: An online system determines a polygon representing a physical location associated with a content item and indexes edges of the polygon based on their positions along an axis of a map. The index is used to retrieve edges spanning a point on the axis representing a location of a client device associated with an online system user. The online system compares the positions of the point and retrieved edges on an axis perpendicular to the axis and determines whether the user is at the physical location based on the comparison. If the user is not at the physical location, a boundary surrounding the point is compared with boundaries surrounding the indexed edges to determine whether the user is within a threshold distance of the physical location. If the user is at or within the threshold distance of the physical location, the user is determined eligible to receive the content item.

Abstract: A method and a system of generating a non-deterministic model of an artifact system for a received goal are provided. A description of artifacts and services associated with an original version of a process is received. Component automata represent the artifacts and services that are automatically generated. There is one component automaton for each attribute of an artifact. States of a particular component automaton represents potential values of a particular attribute and transitions between the states represent services that operate on the values. A non-deterministic model of the process is generated by automatically generating a composite automaton, which includes the component automata, based on the received goal. The composite automaton provides the non-deterministic model of the process.
