Synchronizing uplink and downlink transmissions by a wireless user equipment (UE) device. A connection with a network may be established via a wireless link with a cell. The UE may operate in an active state during first periods of time in which uplink or downlink communications may be performed between the UE and the network. The UE may operate in a reduced-power state during second periods of time in which uplink and downlink communications are not performed. The first periods of time may alternate with the second periods of time in a repeating manner. Uplink data generated by the UE may be buffered during second periods of time and transmitted during first periods of time. Buffering uplink data in this manner may prevent the UE from immediately transitioning from the reduced-power state to the active state to transmit uplink data, which may conserve battery of the UE.

The current invention is a spinal and upper cervical impulse treatment device and controller, which delivers multiple impulses of variable frequency and variable force in a linear direction, as well as rotational forces, for patient treatment. Known chiropractic impulse devices are all hand held devices. In contrast, the spinal and upper cervical impulse treatment device is mounted on a fixed stand and armature, allowing reliable positioning and directional alignment in three dimensions. Fixed mounting also facilitates ease of use. A safety coupling is incorporated to avoid patient injury due to excessive force on the treatment site in the fixed mounting scenario Smooth sinusoidal waveforms are a preferred waveform for impulse delivery and sine waves are generated digitally in the apparatus. Data validation is used to ensure correct directional alignment prior to device activation Patient safety and consistency in treatment protocols are considered in the spinal and upper cervical impulse treatment design

The invention pertains to a process for producing methane by a two-stage anaerobic digestion of organic feed, comprising i) subjecting an organic feed suspension (a) to acidogenesis and methanogenesis in a first reactor (1); ii) withdrawing an effluent (b) from said first reactor and subjecting it to solid/liquid separation (2), thus obtaining effluents high (d) and low (c) in solids, wherein the volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration in said first reactor is controlled by the withdrawal rate; iii) subjecting the effluent low in solids (c) to acidogenesis and methanogenesis in a second reactor (3), thus producing methane gas in said first and second reactor.

The present invention relates to vectors comprising an alpha -globin locus control region ( alpha LCR) and a gene encoding an erythroid protein. In particular embodiments, a retroviral vector comprising an alpha LCR and a globin gene may be used to treat globin-based genetic disorders, including sickle cell anemia and beta -thalassemia.

A helical displacement well with preassembled segments includes a preassembled shaft-forming penetrator tube including helical plates mounted to its exterior that may be rotated to propel the casing into the ground. A hydraulic drill motor rotates the penetrator tube as it moves deeper into the ground. Extension tubes may be added to and coupled to the penetrator tube. A bolt including a threaded stem sized to engage the threaded bolt opening of the male connector and a cap of larger breadth than the threaded stem and sized to fit within the unthreaded tension bolt opening of the female connector for connecting the female connector about the male connector.

A method for selecting or configuring a motor vehicle from a plurality of selectable motor vehicles involves providing a motor vehicle database containing a plurality of selectable motor vehicles, each having an associated first load collective data record describing properties of the motor vehicle which can be detected by a sensor system. Technical properties in a comparison vehicle are detected by a sensor system. A second load collective data record is formed by conditioning of the detected technical properties of the comparison vehicle and the two load collective data records are compared. The first load collective data record from the motor vehicle database having the smallest discrepancy from the second load collective data record is determined and the motor vehicle associated with the first load collective data record having the smallest discrepancy is selected.

A hemispherical grip member has an outer hemispherical surface and a grip layer and a grip member opening. A length of aircraft cable having a first cable end extends through the opening and is crimped in position onto the grip member with a cable nut. A connector is provided on an opposite cable end. A length of a soft flexible tubing surrounds the cable between the grip member and the connector. When a user grasps the hemispherical surface of the grip member, the first cable end is located inside the grasp of the user and the cable and tubing passes between two fingers of the user.

Provided are: a selection method for a gene switch and a gene circuit, including using, as a selector, an expression vector containing at least a gene sequence whose expression is controlled by a transcription regulatory factor to be expressed when a genetic switch and a genetic circuit including the genetic switch operate, and a promoter sequence operably linked to the gene sequence upstream thereof; and an expression vector to be used in the selection method. This enables an effective selection method for a genetic switch and a genetic circuit, the selection method being able to be conducted within a short time period and with high selection efficiency and less leakiness.

An apparatus for irrigation controller expansion through non-removable circuit board modules. A circuit board module with a security tab that prevents removal from a card edge connection, a security tab that breaks upon a removal attempt, preventing re-connection to a card edge connector, a non-removable circuit board module that houses a pluggable terminal strip connector and a pluggable terminal strip connector with at least one station activation circuit.

A means capable of supplying exhaust gas sufficiently imitating exhaust gas from actual diesel engines is provided. A PM generating apparatus has a constitution in which combustion air supplied to the space between a chassis and an outer casing via an air inlet is introduced into the space between the outer casing and an inner casing via through-holes of the outer casing, and a fuel injected by an fuel-injection means into the space between the chassis and the outer casing is introduced into the space between the outer casing and the inner casing via the through-holes of the outer casing, wherein the fuel is combusted to generate PM.

Disclosed is a computer implemented method of managing information between users. The method includes providing one or more People Management Objects (PMO's), where the PMO's including one or more users, and the PMO's are adapted to collect information from the one or more users. The PMO's are then associating the PMO's with one or more additional PMO's; and the PMO's are output for the PMOs for the users to participate.

A cable used in high speed applications contains four internal cables with two wire pairs in each cable. The internal cables are protected by only a conductive braided shield and are arranged in the cable adjacent each other. At least four non-conductive blanks are disposed in the gaps which occur between adjacent ones of the internal cables. The blanks serve to prevent the cable outer insulation from sagging into the gaps between the internal cables so that the cable has a substantially circular configuration.
