Abstract: To promote efficient transmission of presence update information to a presence service client associated or integrated with a communication client such as an instant messaging (IM) client, a separate computing device may be notified when the communication client becomes dormant. The separate device may buffer presence updates destined for the communication client, each presence update containing information regarding availability of at least one of a set of contacts for intercommunication via said communication client. When the separate device learns that either the communication client has ceased being dormant or that an event has occurred which shall cause the communication client to cease being dormant, the buffered presence updates may be sent to the presence service client. Presence updates within the buffered set may be reconciled to eliminate obsolete information. The result may be a conservation of wireless connection bandwidth or reduction in device power consumption.

Abstract: Cardiomyopathy may be treated by distributing space-occupying agent within the myocardium in a pattern about one or more chambers of the heart, such that the space-modifying agent integrates into and thickens at least part of the cardiac wall about the chamber so as globally to reduce wall stress and stabilize or even reduce chamber size. Some patterns also cause a beneficial global reshaping of the chamber. Specific cardiac conditions treatable by these systems and methods include, dilated cardiomyopathy (with or without overt aneurismal formations), congestive heart failure, and ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions, overt aneurysm of the ventricular wall as typically forms in response to large transmural myocardial infarctions, and mitral regurgitation due to a noncompliant mitral valve.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate silence interval specification and utilization in wireless communications. In particular, a silence interval can be defined such that communications cease during the interval, defined by an interval period, offset within the interval period, and duration; the communication can be that of mobile devices to base stations in a wireless communication network. In this regard, base stations can measure thermal noise during the silence to set a interference over thermal (IoT) level in one example. Additionally, other systems and networks can use the silence intervals to transmit, such as public safety devices and/or peer-to-peer communication. The wireless mobile devices can receive the silence interval information and appropriately blank out communications during the defined period.

Abstract: The method comprises the steps of urging the blank (10) along an axial direction (X) between a movable bending tool (16) and a stationary counter-tool (12) and, while the blank (10) is being moved forwards, of moving the bending tool (16) from a neutral position, in which the blank (10) is not bent, to a working position, in which the blank (10) is bent to the desired bending centreline radius, the working position being rotated with respect to the neutral position by a given angle of rotation (a) depending on the desired bending centreline radius. According to the invention, the method further comprises the step of urging the blank (10) between a pair of shoes (20, 22) upstream of the bending tool (16) so as to make the deformation of the blank (10) easier, and the step of moving the bending tool (16) from the neutral position to the working position is carried out by controlling at least two degrees of freedom of the movement of the bending tool (16) in the plane (XY) defined by the axial direction (X) and by a transverse direction (Y) perpendicular to the axial direction (X). By virtue of the initial deformation of axial and radial compression of the blank (10) due to the passage between the shoes (20, 22), the following bending step by the bending tool (16) is made easier and allows to obtain bending centreline radiuses significantly smaller than the smallest ones obtainable so far with the traditional variable-radius bending methods.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for the recovery of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is disclosed. The stream is cooled and divided into first and second streams. The first stream is further cooled to condense substantially all of it and is thereafter expanded to the pressure of a fractionation tower and supplied to the fractionation tower at a first mid-column feed position. The second stream is expanded to the tower pressure and is then supplied to the column at a second mid-column feed position. A distillation vapor stream is withdrawn from the column below the feed point of the first stream and compressed to an intermediate pressure, and is then directed into heat exchange relation with the tower overhead vapor stream to cool the distillation stream and condense substantially all of it, forming a condensed stream. At least a portion of the condensed stream is directed to the fractionation tower at a third mid-column feed position located above the feed point of the first stream. A recycle stream is withdrawn from the tower overhead after it has been warmed and compressed. The compressed recycle stream is cooled sufficiently to substantially condense it, and is then expanded to the pressure of the fractionation tower and supplied to the tower at a top column feed position. The quantities and temperatures of the feeds to the fractionation tower are effective to maintain the overhead temperature of the fractionation tower at a temperature whereby the major portion of the desired components is recovered.
