Abstract: A reclaiming apparatus 106 includes: a sealed container 106a that is an absorbent reservoir for storing therein a part of an absorbent that has absorbed CO2 in flue gas, and a heater that heats the absorbent stored in the sealed container 106a. The reclaiming apparatus 106 distributes a part of the absorbent stored in the sealed container 106a, and brings the distributed absorbent into counter-current contact with steam. Because a part of the absorbent stored in the absorbent reservoir is brought into counter-current contact with the steam, absorbent component contained therein becomes volatilized, and is separated from depleted materials. In this manner, the absorbent component can be extracted from the depleted materials, and a loss of the absorbent can be reduced.

IPC: G16B50/10
Filed: 2007-11-29
Abstract: For assessing classification annotations assigned to DNA  sequences stored in a reference database, the DNA sequences are grouped by species (S1) using established classification schemes. Subsequently, a measure of distance between pairs of DNA sequences is determined (S41) by aligning (S31) the respective sequences and determining the measure of distance (S41) based on a score of similarity between the aligned DNA  sequences.  Determined are one or more centroid sequences (S42) which have the shortest aggregate measure of distance to the other DNA sequences in the respective group (species). Assigned to the DNA sequences (S5) as a quantitative confidence level for their classification annotations is in each case the measure of distance between the respective DNA sequence and the centroid sequence. The assessment and rating of the classification annotations with these confidence levels make it possible to provide to a user a quantitative indication of the degree of representativeness of a DNA  sequence for a particular species.

Title: Annulus-reinforcing band
Inventor: KUSLICH STEPHEN D
IPC: A61B17/70
Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: A pliable band or hoop that is flexible to normal handling, but cannot stretch circumferentially once it has reached the limits of its circumferential length. The band may have a structural portal to be used for filling, or it may simply be constructed of a fabric-like material that allows a fill tube to perforate its walls to allow for filling. In the latter case, the perforated wall tends to self-seal once the fill tube is withdrawn. The band may be flat or tubular in cross-section. However, unlike a balloon, the band does not require either a bottom or a top, as we found that a top and bottom are unnecessary when using a band or hoop to enclose material injected into a reamed out intervertebral space.

Abstract: In an amphibious ATV, the wheel bearings are housed in a spherical mounting-structure, because of possible angular misalignment. The spherical mounting--structure comprises separable primary and secondary elements. The new system provides that both elements are axially wide, being e.g as wide as the outer-race of the bearing. Now, the elements are highly resistant to every distortion, which means the mounting-structure can seal the bearings very effectively -- both as to keeping dirt and water out, and keeping lubricant in.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing an enhanced random access channel procedure in a cell_fach state
Inventor: CAVE CHRISTOPHER R
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an enhanced random access procedure in a Ce11FACH state are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits a random access channel (RACH) preamble for random access. If a positive acknowledgement (ACK) is received in response to the RACH preamble, the WTRU enters a contention resolution phase and transmits a message via an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH). If contention resolution fails, the RACH preamble is retransmitted. A contention back-off timer may be used for retransmission. A physical random access channel (PRACH) code may be reselected. The RACH preamble may be retransmitted using a reserved PRACH resource so that E-DCH resource is allocated to the collided WTRUs. Data transmitted during the contention resolution phase may remain in a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) buffer. The MAC-i/is entity may be reset. All data sent during the contention resolution phase may be stored in a temporary buffer.

Abstract: A pharmaceutically-acceptable modulator of the regulation or perturbation of the structure, expres-sion, and/or activity of at least one enzyme and/or enzyme complex, or subunit thereof, such as via the altered mito-chondrial energy metabolism of the pyruvate dehydroge-nase (PDH) complex of warm-blooded animals, including humans, and methods of use thereof, comprises an effec-tive amount of at least one lipoic acid derivative and at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier thereof to af-fect the complex's phosphorylation state. By increasing PDH kinase activity and/or decreasing PDH phosphatase activity, the modulator prevents the detoxification anaero-bic glycolytic toxic metabolites through inhibition of the activity of the PDH complex's El a subunit, obliging in-creased mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation activity.  As cells characterized by hyperproliferation, such as tumor cells, cannot also generate acetyl-CoA and NADH because of the modulator's additional action in inhibiting the action of the PDH complex's E2 subunit, the mitochondrial mem-brane polarization is lost, facilitating cell death.
