Abstract: There is provided a Last Mile delivery system (LAMIS system) for delivery of  parcels to recipients, including a plurality of Automatic Delivery Machines (ADMs), located in public places and other places convenient for the recipients. Each ADM has a local computer and data and comunication network connection, and at least a set of cells, possibly of adjustable size, for storing parcels, and a single access mechanism for each such set, adapted to  provide a recipient with access to a parcel stored in a cell while preventin g access to parcels in other cells. The system further includes computerized control centers using an ADM database with locations of the ADMs, a LAMIS server computer program for handling the data associated with the operation of the system, which enables a multiple choice of an ADM for the delivery or fo r sending of the parcel, by using the ADM database. The control center has dat a and communication network connecting the LAMIS server with the local compute rs of the ADMs. The local computers are adapted to identify the recipient and t o provide access to the parcel in the cell of the chosen ADM.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for time synchronizing a plurality of base stations in a wireless communication system. The system determines an estimate of a timing accuracy associated with each base station. When a base station's timing accuracy is over a threshold, the system determines if there is a neighboring base station with a better timing accuracy. The base station over the threshold is adjusted in response to an estimated difference between that base station and the neighboring base station.

Abstract: Red blood cells are purified by defibrinating whole blood and then filtering the defibrinated whole blood, whereby at least a portion of a plasma component is separated from the red blood cells to form a suspension of red blood cells, thereby purifying the red blood cells. Whole blood is defibrinated by, for example, using a chemical coagulating agent or mechanical agitation.
