FLAPPER-FREE TOILET FLUSHER

A toilet flusher for use with a toilet tank that has a fill valve and a bottom drain hole allowing water to flow out controlled by a toilet flush valve, the flusher being installable as the toilet flush valve and including: a longitudinally extendable siphon tube extending longitudinally from a drain hole fitting to a tube inlet within a float, such that, when sealingly attached to the tank drain hole by a drain hole fitting, the siphon tube will longitudinally extend upward as it is pulled up by the float floating on water in the tank. The flusher further includes: a float chamber around the tube inlet, the chamber being closed above a top edge of the tube inlet and open below it; floatation means that positions the floating float with the top edge of the tube inlet above the water and the chamber opening below the water.
Bodies, Identity, and Digital Corporeality

This chapter presents a contrast to earlier theories of virtual reality in which online identities were celebrated at the expense of the body, often depicting the body as redundant. Indeed, in cyber theories, the body has been referred to as “the meat,” which reinforces an older, outdated notion of mind/body dualism. This chapter seeks to show the absolutely central role of the body in the production of identity in a digital media environment by focusing on new technologies that “draw out” the body as the site of digital engagement. Technologies designed for gaming, fitness, and wearability, for example, immerse the body ever more closely into a digital, networked environment. Improvements in the ergonomics of our everyday interface devices (mice, trackpads, keyboards) likewise respond to the ever presence of the body that is “made material” through digital discourses that are interacted with through such devices. New forms of engagement such as the touch screen and Google Glass likewise “turn” the focus of digital media away from the idea of disembodied identity towards an ever-increasing emphasis on the everyday bodily experience of engaging with online worlds. This chapter demonstrates the ways in which digital technologies are deployed in the “materialization” of the body as a project to be worked upon.

GSTT helps the users to steer a satellite platform to a safer position avoiding collisions and extending expected lifetime cycle
with more accurate and precise manoeuvres while reducing costs and delivery time, by using the system Planning,
Scheduling, Acquisition and Data Processing features. GSTT measurements applied to manage GEO space platforms give
satellite owners the capability to assess real platform position with a maximum margin of error of 20 meters. GSTT is a
ground-breaking innovation capable to make a major contribution to the maintenance and safety of European strategic
assets such as GALILEO constellation. The TRL of GTSS is Level 8 (system complete and qualified): an specific version of
GSTT named GMSPAZIO Satellite Awareness Toolkit is fully operational at an Italian Ministry of Defence site since
December 2012.
The project specific objectives are to study the product process of industrialization -from an operational prototype to an
industrialized system- in order to make it available to the market as a customized turnkey solution; to study the Market –
identifying the main competitors, potential risks, Marketing strategies and Pricing & Distribution policies - to support GSTT
commercialization and to design a Business Plan with 5-year projection (income statements, balance sheet and cash flow
statements) based on reliable and cautious assumptions in order to demonstrate the significant return on investment at
European level.
Design of a new non-existing layer of information delivery through smell

The idea for this proposal is to demonstrate the design of olfactory widgets (OWidgets) as a proof-of-concept implementation based on the semantic integration of smell to convey specific information to the user. We will showcase the meaningful design of OWidgets in two distinct markets. Widgets are well established as simple application extensions, integrated in a larger application and usually pre-installed on a device. Widgets allow quick access to information without requiring a user to open the application that manages this information. OWidgets will expand the existing range of widgets and provide users with a new non-existing layer of information delivery through smell, and consequently allow the creation of novel experiences in various application contexts.
CONTROL OF CRYSTAL ANISOTROPY FOR PEROVSKITE OXIDES ON SEMICONDUCTOR-BASED SUBSTRATES

A crystalline structure (20, 60 or 220) and a device (120, 140, 180 or 270) which can be suited for use in any of a number of semiconductor or electro-optic applications, such as a phase modulator or a component of an interfereometer, includes a substrate (22, 62, 142, 182, 222 or 272) of a semiconductor-based material and a thin film (24, 64, 144, 186 or 224) of a crystalline oxide material epitaxially arranged upon the surface of the substrate so that the thin film couples to the underlying substrate and so that the geometries of substantially all of the unit cells of the thin film are arranged in a predisposed orientation relative to the substrate surface. The predisposition of the geometries of the unit cells of the thin film is due to a stressed or strained condition of the lattice at the interface between the thin film material and the substrate surface and is responsible for a predisposed orientation of a directional-dependent quality, such as the dipole moment, of the unit cells. The predisposed orientation of the unit cell geometries enables a device within which the structure is embodied to take beneficial advantage of characteristics of the structure during operation.
Release etching and characterization of MEMS capacitive pressure sensors integrated on a standard 8-metal 130 nm CMOS process

Abstract Monolithic post-processing and characterization of CMOS MEMS capacitive absolute pressure sensors co-integrated on an 8-metal BEOL (back-end-of-line) 130 nm CMOS device is reported in this paper. An optimized foundry compatible etch process for an IBM CMOS fabricated top triple layered passivation is discussed. A mixture of wet and plasma dry etch process is proposed for both an elliptic and a rectangular structured pressure sensor capacitor. Lateral 125 μm stiction free etch from opposite sides was performed successfully for the monolithically integrated diaphragms on the 130 nm CMOS platform. Low power inductive coupled plasma using CHF 3 gas along with high RF bias power is utilized to increase lateral etch rate compared to vertical etch rate. Mechanical and electrical characterization results indicate a successful etch of the triple layer passivation and the sacrificial oxide. Sensitivities of the fluorosilicate sealed absolute pressure sensors were measured to be 0.07 mV/Pa and 0.05 mV/Pa for the elliptic and rectangular element, respectively. In addition, the linear capacitive transduction dynamic range was found to be 0.32 pF and 0.23 pF, respectively, for the elliptic and rectangular element (for 80 hPa pressure variation).
Two Unconventional Risk Factors for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Subjects with Sexual Dysfunction: Low Education and Reported Partner's Hypoactive Sexual Desire in Comparison with Conventional Risk Factors

The classification of subjects as low or high cardiovascular (CV) risk is usually performed by risk engines, based upon multivariate prediction algorithms. However, their accuracy in predicting major adverse CV events (MACEs) is lower in high-risk populations as they take into account only conventional risk factors.To evaluate the accuracy of Progetto Cuore risk engine in predicting MACE in subjects with erectile dysfunction (ED) and to test the role of unconventional CV risk factors, specifically identified for ED.A consecutive series of 1,233 men (mean age 53.33 ± 9.08 years) attending our outpatient clinic for sexual dysfunction was longitudinally studied for a mean period of 4.4 ± 2.6 years.Several clinical, biochemical, and instrumental parameters were evaluated. Subjects were classified as high or low risk, according to previously reported ED-specific risk factors.In the overall population, Progetto Cuore-predicted population survival was not significantly different from the observed one (P = 0.545). Accordingly, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis shows that Progetto Cuore has an accuracy of 0.697 ± 0.037 (P < 0.001) in predicting MACE. Considering subjects at high risk according to ED-specific risk factors, the observed incidence of MACE was significantly higher than the expected for both low educated and patients reporting partner's hypoactive sexual desire (HSD, both <0.05), but not for other described factors. The area under ROC curves of Progetto Cuore for MACE in subjects with low education and reported partner's HSD were 0.659 ± 0.053 (P = 0.008) and 0.550 ± 0.076 (P = 0.570), respectively.Overall, Progetto Cuore is a proper instrument for evaluating CV risk in ED subjects. However, in ED, other factors such as low education and partner's HSD concur to risk profile. At variance with low education, Progetto Cuore is not accurate enough to predict MACE in subjects with partner's HSD, suggesting that the latter effect is not mediated by conventional risk factors included in the algorithm.
European robotic framework for bipedal locomotion benchmarking

The EUROBENCH project aims at creating the first benchmarking framework for robotic systems in Europe. The framework will allow companies and researchers to test the performance of robots at any stage of development. The project will primarily focus on bipedal machines, i.e. exoskeletons, prosthetics and humanoids, but will be designed to be easily extended to other robotic domains.
The EUROBENCH framework will be composed of:
- A methodological component, which will include methods and metrics to calculate the System Ability Levels of a robotic system. These methods will be integrated in a professional software tool to permit its wide use across domains and laboratory conditions. The main goal of this unified software is to facilitate the use of benchmarking methodology at all levels from research to pre-commercial prototyping.
- An experimental component, which will concentrate the state-of-the-art test benches in two facilities, one for wearable robots (including exoskeletons and prostheses), and one for humanoid robots. These facilities will allow companies and researchers to perform standardized tests on advanced robotic prototypes in a unique location, saving resources and time, and preparing for certification processes.
During the project, the Consortium will provide Financial Support to Third Parties interested in:
- Designing and developing specific test benches or benchmarking methods. These solutions will be integrated into the framework, and made available to the industrial and academic community.
- Using the framework, at zero-costs, to test the performance of different kinds of robots. This will allow to validate the EUROBENCH outputs and prepare for the exploitation of results.
The successful achievement of these goals will put Europe in the lead on providing the groundwork for the evaluation of robotic systems, facilitating the process of bringing innovative robotic technologies forward to market.
Immunology in the Clinic Review Series; focus on allergies: immunotherapy for food allergy

Summary OTHER THEMES PUBLISHED IN THIS IMMUNOLOGY IN THE CLINIC REVIEW SERIES Metabolic Diseases, Host Responses, Cancer, Autoinflammatory Diseases, Type 1 diabetes and viruses. There is no approved therapy for food allergy. The current standard of care is elimination of the triggering food from the diet and accessibility to epinephrine. Immunotherapy is a promising treatment approach. While desensitization to most foods seems feasible, it remains unclear if a permanent state of tolerance is achievable. The research team at Duke is pioneering immunotherapy for food allergies. Work here has evolved over time from small open-label pilot studies to larger randomized designs. Our data show that immunological changes associated with immunotherapy include reduction in mast cell reactivity, decreased basophil responses, decreased specific-immunoglobulin (Ig)E, increased IgG4 and induction of regulatory T cells. Immunotherapy has generated much excitement in the food allergy community; however, further studies are needed before it is ready for clinical use.
Smart platform to optimise trip management

The SmarTrip business innovation project is led by AutoTrip; a British company that aims to provide a tool for optimising the management of road fleets by implementing cutting-edge technologies in mileage tracking and data processing.
SmarTrip is mainly comprised by: 1) a cloud infrastructure which serves as the basis for communications, data storage and processing; 2) a plug-and-play device, which is connected to the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) connector of the vehicle (present in all vehicles made since 1996) and which acquires the trip information and then sends it to the cloud infrastructure; and 3) web and mobile-based applications for configuration and managing the information.
Every year millions of hours of productivity are lost on vehicle based administration. SmarTrip’s mission is to connect cars used for business to the cloud to fully automate the reporting of business mileage and unlock cost savings of up to 35%. Today, less than 5% of mileage claims submitted are automated by GPS systems, and is estimated that 96% of submissions still require significant manual activity (paper, excel, postcode logging etc.). We calculate that within the next 10 years, 80% of mileage reclaims submitted will be automated as a result of the Internet of Cars.
A connected business fleet can offer cost savings through: reduced administrative costs, since the need for manual input is removed as a result of SmarTrip’s end-to-end automation; accurate mileage reclaims, since thanks to a better triangulation that combines GPS/GSM data, SmarTrip can accurately measure business mileage completed in private vehicles and company cars; reducing business fuel used on trips, since for company cars with fuel cards, SmarTrip will automatically invoice employees for any fuel used on private trips by accurately correlating business mileage against fuel card usage; and tax compliance, since taking the UK as example, the average fine for inaccurate mileage records is near €23,000 per driver.
Gracious:  grouping, read-across, characterisation and classification framework for regulatory risk assessment of manufactured nanomaterials and safer design of nano-enabled products

Manufacturing and functionalising materials at the nanoscale leads to a whole array of nanomaterials (NMs) varying in e.g. size, morphology and surface characteristics. Apart from expected benefits, distinctive properties of NMs may also affect (environmental) health risks. Safety assessment requires sufficient information for each NM, but testing every unique NM for their potential adverse effects is virtually impossible. More efficient ways to obtain safety information are needed, which could be achieved by applying grouping and read-across approaches to NMs. On a conceptual level, regulatory accepted approaches for grouping and read-across for NMs already exist, but actual application remains difficult as the required knowledge is not systematically brought together,   lacks data curation or is still missing. GRACIOUS will address this urgent need by developing a framework for grouping and read-across based on physicochemical, release, exposure, environmental fate, toxicokinetic and toxicological information. This framework will be delivered as a practical e-tool, fit-for-purpose for various key (regulatory and industrial) stakeholders, who will be engaged from the start of the project. To develop the framework, GRACIOUS will build upon currently available approaches by collating, curating and assimilating existing and new knowledge on intrinsic and extrinsic physicochemical properties in relation to their (environmental) health risk. The resulting framework will support safe innovation by enabling considerations of safety a.o. via grouping and read-across in industrial decision making at various stages of product development. For regulators and policy makers, GRACIOUS will facilitate actual application of grouping and read-across of NMs to enable risk analysis of NMs without extensive testing.
Building Regional Actions for New Developments in Tourism

Europe is the N.1 travel destination in the world today. Tourism is its 3rd economic activity, with 3.4 million enterprises, 12 million jobs and accounting for 9,7% of the GDP. The sector has proved resilient to the crisis with international tourist arrivals reaching 588 million in 2014 and a yearly increase of more than 4% in 2010-2015. On the other hand, the highest growth of tourism in recent years has been in non-EU areas. Americas registered +8%, and Asia and the Pacific +5% in 2014. The competition from alternative less expensive destinations is surging, and other world regions are likely to replace EU as the most visited area by 2030. To avoid receding, EU regions need to support the sector by helping tourism SMEs become more competitive and their offer more attractive. The diversification of the offer and the promotion of EU’s unique attractions should be made a major competitive advantage for EU tourism.

The objective of the BRANDTOUR project is to improve the partners’ capacity to support tourism through the promotion, innovation and diversification of the offer. The project aims to provide better policy instruments to develop new customised tourism products that can satisfy emerging target groups, and favour inbound flows towards the EU.

Through interregional cooperation the partners will develop better instruments to:
- enhance the visibility and market uptake of known and less known destinations; 
- valorise attractions through better marketing, branding and communication;
- innovate the offer by clustering tourism SMEs and products;
- increase synergies between tourism private and public stakeholders;
- deliver more customised packages by diversifying the offer; 
- leverage local value chains and excellence to develop thematic and experience-oriented tourism.

These instruments will increase the ability of EU tourism SMEs to meet the challenges of the market, reduce seasonalization and maximise the economic potential of the sector.
Adaptive Synchronization of Diffusively Coupled Systems

We present an adaptive algorithm that guarantees synchronization in diffusively coupled systems. We first consider compartmental systems of ODEs where variables in each compartment are interconnected through diffusion terms with like variables in other compartments. Each set of variables may have its own weighted undirected graph describing the topology of the interconnection between compartments. The link weights are updated adaptively according to the magnitude of the difference between neighboring agents connected by each link. We show that an incremental passivity property is fundamental in guaranteeing output synchronization. We next consider reaction-diffusion PDEs with Neumann boundary conditions and derive an analogous algorithm guaranteeing spatial homogenization of the solutions. We provide several numerical examples demonstrating the results.
Mosaicism for trisomy 21: A review

The clinical and cytogenetic findings associated with mosaicism for trisomy 21/Down syndrome are the focus of this review. The primary topics discussed in this overview of the extant literature include the history of this condition and its diagnosis, the incidence of mosaicism, the meiotic and/or mitotic chromosomal malsegregation events resulting in mosaicism, the observation of mosaicism in the parents of children with the non-mosaic form of Down syndrome, and the variation in phenotypic outcome for both constitutional and acquired traits present in people with mosaicism for trisomy 21/Down syndrome, including cognition, fertility, and overall phenotypic findings. Additional topics reviewed include the social conditions of people with mosaicism, as well as age-related and epigenetic alterations observed in people with mosaicism for trisomy 21/Down syndrome. .
Making books talk: the material evidence of manuscripts of the kitab al-shifa by qadi iyad (d.1149) for the reception of an andalusian biography of the prophet between 1100 and 1900

This project will examine the manuscripts of a biography of the Prophet Muhammad (d. ca. 632), written by the Maliki jurist Qadi ‘Iyad (d. 1149), in order to elucidate the historical context of the work’s enduring popularity with Muslim readers. The Kitab al-shifa’ fi ta‘rif huquq al-Mustafa (The book of healing concerning the recognition of the true facts about the chosen one) circulated widely both inside and outside the Islamic West. A large number of manuscripts, written between the 13th and the early 20th century, are known to be extant, but no autograph has been preserved. The project will approach the work’s manuscripts as material evidence for how readers engaged with the text and for how their interpretation evolved over time. Drawing on the methodologies of codicology and critical bibliography, as developed by literary critics and cultural historians for research on Medieval and Renaissance Europe, the manuscript analysis will document changing modes of production, transmission and reading. In order to advance the integration of Digital Humanities into Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, Open Source tools will be employed to map the circulation of al-Shifa’ copies. Since Qadi ‘Iyad is one of the authorities of Maliki Islam in North Africa, the research will be conducted at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC) in Madrid under the supervision of Prof. Maribel Fierro, an international authority of the history of the Islamic West. The results will be published as an interpretative study, accompanied by a database of al-Shifa’ copies and a visualization of their circulation; the three parts will be available Open Access on the CSIC website. Analyzing the material evidence preserved by al-Shifa’ copies will provide major new insights into Muslim approaches to the veneration of the Prophet Muhammad since the Middle Ages, thereby refocusing the discussion of whether in Islam religious education stands in the way of progress and modernization.
