International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717168, 717110, 717111, 717112, 717113

Abstract:

Solution packages for a product for deployment on a collection of servers can be designed using one or more designers that provide user interfaces for visually arranging and configuring elements of the product. A package object model includes a managed object model that represents a package or feature manifest as defined by a product manifest XML schema. The object model can be used to create references to other project item and feature definitions. The extended object model can be used to generate an equivalent package or feature manifest XML file.

International Classification:

G06F 15/18

US Classification:

706 12

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes an extension of the Pólya Tree approach for constructing distributions on the space of probability measures. By using optional stopping and optional choice of splitting variables, the present invention gives rise to random measures that are absolutely continuous with piecewise smooth densities on partitions that can adapt to fit the data. The resulting optional Pólya tree distribution has large support in total variation topology, and yields posterior distributions that are also optional Pólya trees with computable parameter values.

International Classification:

G01N 33/574
A61K 31/17
C12Q 1/68
A61K 31/513

Abstract:

Discovery of a new Bax isoform, BaxΔ2, in cancer cell lines and primary tumors is described. The BaxΔ2 isoform resulted from combination of Bax microsatellite mutation and alternative splicing Bax exon 2. It is also discovered that BaxΔ2 renders cancer cells sensitive to certain chemotherapeutic drugs that target caspase 8. Also provided are methods for treating colorectal cancer by administering to a colorectal cancer patient a chemotherapeutic agent that is capable of activating caspase 8, wherein the patient contains a cancer cell that expresses a BaxΔ2 protein (SEQ ID NO. 2).

International Classification:

H04W 72/04
H04L 27/26
H04L 5/00

Abstract:

A unified channel contention scheme is proposed such that spatial reuse can be enabled by a wireless station (STA) when a basic service set (BSS) color of a received signal cannot be resolved. If the detected frame is an intra-BSS frame, then the STA should not contend the channel for the PPDU duration. If the detected frame is an inter-BSS frame, then the STA uses OBSS Packet Detection (OBSS-PD) level as the CCA level for channel contention. Furthermore, when BSS color cannot be resolved, channel contention schemes for WiFi signal and non-WiFi signal are differentiated. If the received signal is detected as WiFi signal, then the STA uses WiFi-SIG Detection (WD) level as the CCA level for channel contention. If the received signal is detected as non-WiFi signal, then the STA uses Non-WiFi-SIG Detection (NWD) level as the CCA level for channel contention.
