Abstract: Systems and methods are defined for processing an invoice indicating an amount due (22) in which the processing of the invoice, which typically includes printing the invoice, is dependent in part on the amount due (22). Specifically, certain procedures may be invoked when the amount due (22) is less than a threshold level (23), such as deferring generating an invoice until the next billing cycle. Various types of indicators (24) facilitate exception processing of the invoice, including the ability to exempt the account from minimum invoice processing. The indicators (24) are contained as parameters in the invoice records allowing flexibility in the computer system processing the records.

Abstract: Endoplasmic reticulum stress has been found to be associated with obesity.  Therefore, agents that reduce or prevent ER stress may be used to treat diseases associated with obesity including peripheral insulin resistance, hypergylcemia, and type 2 diabetes. Two compounds which have been shown to reduce ER stress and to reduce blood glucose levels include 4-phenyl butyric acid (PBA), tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). Other compounds useful in reducing ER stress are chemical chaperones such as trimethylamine N-oxide and glycerol. The present invention provides methods of treating a subject suffering from obesity, hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes, or insulin resistance using ER stress reducers such as PBA, TUDCA, and TMAO. Methods of screening for ER stress reducers by identifying agents that reduce levels of ER stress markers in ER stressed cells are also provided. These agents may find use in methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating obesity-associated diseases.

Abstract: An audio coding scheme allowing PCM signal to lossless DSD signal expansion for next generation optical disc formats. The encoder (ENC) upsamples a PCM  signal to the DSD sample rate. Then a set of -loop filter parameters (LFP) is generated for a noise-shaping loop of a sigma-delta modulator (SDM). A  correction signal (CS) indicates the difference between a sigma- delta modulated version of the up-sampled PCM signal (UPCM) and the target DSD  signal (IDSD) . The correction signal (CS) may be adapted to be applied to the original PCM signal (PCM), to the up-sampled PCM signal (UPCM) or to the output bit stream (ODSD) . An expansion bit stream (EBS) includes the loop filter parameters (LFP) and the correction signal. The decoder (DEC) can reproduce the original DSD signal based on the PCM signal (PCM) and the expansion bit stream (EBS).
