Abstract: The present inventors recognized room for improving convention informational retrieval systems, particularly those intended for retrieval of legal information. Accordingly, they devised systems, methods, and software that facilitate the retrieval of related non-opinion legal documents in response to queries for legal opinions. Non-opinion documents may include briefs, pleadings, depositions, court orders, and so forth, each of which may be selected online by the user for retrieval or delivery. Other novel features include user interfaces that provide convenient access to a number of specialty litigation databases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a screw (1) comprising a threaded shank (2) with a force application location (4) for transmitting torque and a screw tip (6). The threaded shank (2) is composed of a shank core (10) and an automatically thread-forming thread (12). The thread (12) is formed as an elevation which extends helically over the shank core (10), is delimited by two flanks (15, 16) which converge in an outer thread edge (14) and has a height (H) measured radially from the shank core (10) to the thread edge (14). The thread (12) has, seen in profile, at the thread edge (14) a specific apex angle (a) formed between the adjacent flanks (15, 16). With preference, at least in a partial region of the thread (12), the outer thread edge (14) extends in a wave form in the radial direction with an amplitude (U) between wave crests (20) with the thread height (H) and wave troughs (22) with a height (h) reduced by the amplitude (U), the thread (12) having, at least in the region of one of its flanks (15/16), in the region of the wave troughs (22) of the thread edge (14) indentations (24) which interrupt the surface of the flank (15/16) and the outer delimitation of which is the thread edge (14). At least one of the two flanks (15, 16) of the thread (12) is formed concavely in the region between the shank core (10) and the thread edge (14), seen in radial profile, in such a way that the apex angle (.alpha.) is less than a flank angle (.alpha.F) enclosed between imaginary straight flank lines (FG) determined in each case by a lowest point (GF) of the thread and the thread edge (14). With preference, the thread (12) respectively has in the regions of the wave crests (20) of the thread edge (14) that are not interrupted by indentations (24) the specific, first apex angle (.alpha.), formed between the flanks (15/16), and a second apex angle (.alpha.'), in the lowest region of the wave troughs (22) of the thread edge (14).

Abstract: A model animal for restless legs syndrome/periodic appendicular dyskinesia. As a result of administration to the abdominal cavity of mouse of a plasma component of peripheral blood collected from renal failure patients judged as suffering restless legs syndrome/periodic appendicular dyskinesia, it has been found that the mouse strikingly exhibits behavior peculiar to these diseases and hence can be used as a disease model mouse. This model animal can be used in identifying of the causative agent of restless legs syndrome/periodic appendicular dyskinesia and in development and evaluation of any methods of diagnosis and treatment for these diseases.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système sous-marin de communications robustes permettant d'établir une communication entre un émetteur de signaux acoustiques et un récepteur de signaux acoustiques distant. Les données sont portées par une pluralité de symboles, chacun d'eux comprenant deux composants dont l'un comprend un code binaire distinct et l'autre appartient au caractère du symbole comme un tout. Le caractère des symboles successifs est modifié par l'intermédiaire d'une séquence de répétition prédéterminée et continue d'étapes distinctes, chacune d'elles n'apparaissant qu'une fois dans la séquence. Le récepteur de signaux fonctionne de manière synchrone avec l'émetteur de signaux, comprend un agencement de corrélateur sensible à la fois au code binaire et au caractère des signaux reçus afin d'effectuer une démodulation et comprend une pluralité de sorties, une pour chaque symbole, de sorte que lorsqu'un symbole est détecté, un signal sur la sortie à laquelle il correspond prédomine. Un organe de détection d'amplitude sensible aux sorties provenant l'agencement de corrélateur permet de fournir un signal de sortie correspondant aux données transmises.

Abstract: An anastomotic device surgically joins the free ends of a first and a second tubular structure. The device generally includes two ring members, each of which is secured to a free end of the tubular structure. Each ring member includes an outer portion and an inner portion. The outer portions are each cylindrical and ring-like with open ends. The length of the cylindrical outer portions provides support for the portions of the tubular structures near and adjacent the ends of the tubular structure, thus reducing the likelihood of stricture during healing of the anastomotic tissue. Outer portions have holes around their perimeters which provide a scaffold for tissue to grow through for increasing the strength of the tissue near the anastomosis. The inner portions have connecting means and are designed to matingly engage one another.

Title: Method and system for providing access to a channel for voice transmissions
Inventor: WIATROWSKI DAVID G
IPC: H04L12/43

Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: In a TDMA system, a plurality of subscriber units (SU; 12, 14, 22) and a plurality of base radios (BR; 5, 7, 13) provide access to a channel for voice transmissions. A SU requests a voice transmission by pressing ~push to talk~  on a mobile unit (202). The SU then determines whether the voice transmissions is provisioned for ~polite~ channel access (216). If the ~polite~ channel access specifies that the SU be ~polite~ to all (216), then the SU sends negative feedback to the SU user (220). Alternatively, if the ~polite~ channel access specifies that the SU not be ~polite~ to all (218), but be ~polite~ to its own color code (218), then the SU performs time slot synchronization with the BR.

Abstract: The energy-free refrigeration door of the present application provides a way to control condensation when the door of a refrigeration unit is opened by providing thermal insulation to the door with glass panels which have a low emissivity coating. The door includes a door frame housing and an insulating glass unit comprising inner, middle and outer sheets of glass. A first sealant assembly disposed around the periphery of the inner and middle sheets of glass forms a first chamber between the inner and middle sheets of glass. A second sealant assembly disposed around the periphery of the middle and outer sheets of glass forms a second chamber between the middle and outer sheets of glass.  A gas, such as krypton, air, or argon is held in the first and second chambers. The outer sheet of glass and inner sheet of glass each have an unexposed surface that faces the middle sheet of glass. A low emissivity coating is disposed on the unexposed surfaces of the inner and outer sheets of glass so that the glass door as a whole has a U value that prevents formation of condensation on the outer surface of the outer sheet of the glass door, without the application of electricity to heat the door, while also providing the desired evaporation rate of condensation from the inner side of the inner sheet of the glass door. An anti-fog or anti-frost coating may be included on a surface of one of the sheets of glass.

Abstract: Techniques are described to calibrate the downlink and uplink channels to account for differences in the frequency responses of the transmit and receive chains at an access point and a user terminal. In one method, pilots are transmitted on the downlink and uplink channels and used to derive estimates of the downlink and uplink channel responses, respectively. Correction factors for the access point and correction factors for the user terminal are determined based on (e.g., by performing matrix-ratio computation or minimum mean square error (MMSE) computation on) the downlink and uplink channel response estimates. The correction factors for the access point and the correction factors for the user terminal are used to obtain a calibrated downlink channel and a calibrated uplink channel, which are transpose of one another. The calibration may be performed in real time based on over-the-air transmission.
