The EGR cooling system comprising a plurality of EGR coolers configured to cool the EGR to a plurality of successively lower temperatures, where at least one of the plurality of EGR coolers includes a finned EGR cooler that comprises a plurality of channels for dissipating heat in the EGR, the plurality of channels increasing heat transfer surface area while having sufficient fin spacing to avoid clogging. The EGR cooling system may further comprise a catalyst configured to remove particle matters and/or hydrocarbons from the EGR, the catalyst positioned upstream of at least one of the plurality of EGR coolers.

A method is presented here for mitigation of airport congestion problem by manipulating flight arrival times to coincide with expected departure times in order to keep airport demand under a specific limit and optimize utilized capacity of an airport. In one example, a threshold is defined which is related to the airport surface capacity to represent airport's tolerance for accumulation. At the time the congestion problem is overcome, the accumulation rate is not positive. In another example, a threshold is defined which is related to the airport facilities available to a specific carrier and is applied to the flights operated by that carrier.

The present invention provides a modified release dosage form of tacrolimus that releases two or more amount of tacrolimus upon oral administration, the first amount of tacrolimus releases from the immediate release dosage unit substantially immediately within 0-2 hours followed by a time interval ranging from about 1-10 hours during which substantially no amount of tacrolimus is released from the dosage form, after which a second amount of tacrolimus is released wherein said second amount is released from the delayed release dosage unit either immediately e.g. within 0-2 hours or over a period of time ranging from about 2-12 hours from its initial release from the delayed release dosage unit. The dosage form may further comprise additional amount of tacrolimus to provide additional pulse of tacrolimus. The dosage forms of tacrolimus exhibit improved bioavailability and reduced flux or fluctuation over existing composition of tacrolimus. A method of preparing the dosage forms is also described.

Method for signal generation in broadband wireless communications, comprises: A. modulating, segmenting and serial-parallel converting the signal data to be transmitted, then computing DFT of the serial-parallel converted data so as to transfer them to frequency domain; B. performing block unit modulating processing and block repeat modulating processing on the frequency domain data, then mapping the block units to assigned time-frequency positions; C. computing IFFT of the mapped block units, then adding them to the cycle prefix, thus the random sequences in time domain are generated. Apparatus for signal generation, Method and system for message transmission in broadband wireless communications are also disclosed. The problem of resource allocation and scheduling, and problem of interference coordination and control are solved, the throughput and performance of communication system are greatly improved.

A computing system for transforming at least one large questionnaire into a plurality of split questionnaires, said system comprising: one or more processors; memory; a display, and one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by said one or more processors; a questionnaire database for storing survey pilot data and tracking data associated with said at least one large questionnaire having survey questions; a data conversion module comprising said one or more programs executable to generate a data matrix associated with said survey pilot data and tracking data, and to convert said data matrix into a continuous data matrix; a split-questionnaire design (SQD) module comprising said one or more programs executable to receive said continuous data matrix, and operating to transform said at least one large questionnaire into said plurality of split questionnaires, wherein each of said plurality of split questionnaires comprises a subset of said survey questions; a skip logic module comprising said one or more programs executable to apply conditional logic to the operation of said SQD module when at least one question is based on a respondent's at least one preceding answer to a preceding question; an imputation module comprising said one or more programs executable to impute missing data induced by said SQD module and to create a complete data set; and a reporting module comprising said one or more programs executable to present said split questionnaires on said display.

Removable and re-attachable grips design to allow simple, fast changing of grips on shaft. The present disclosure relates in general to a re-changeable or interchangeable grip particularly suited for golf whose attachment requires three basic securing movements. In the first movement, heel components of the grip are first positioned onto the shaft, by either rotational torque or downward pressure, which result in securing the upper, proximal portion of the gripping sleeve onto the shaft. In the second movement, once the grip is situated and secured into place on the shaft, the grip is centered on the shaft by fastening toe components at the lower, distal portion of the grip sleeve onto the shaft. In the third movement, once both heel and toe embodiments of the grip have been fastened to the shaft, the internal core diameter of the grip sleeve is decreased in order to secure the grip to the shaft, such as by rotating or twisting the entire grip sleeve body, wherein an internal mechanism maintains the grip sleeve body in the torqued or twisted position, thereby preventing the grip sleeve body from rotating back.

A magazine-based data storage library is described that essentially provides a first tape cartridge adapted to retain first data and first metadata, a second tape cartridge adapted to retain second data and second metadata, a random access storage memory, such as a hard disk drive, whereon parity of the first data and the second data along with the first metadata and second metadata is retained. It is not required that the first data and the second data be written in parallel. The parity data on the random access storage memory is transferred to a parity tape, which can be used to reconstruct any data lost from either the first tape cartridge or the second tape cartridge.

A magazine-based data storage library in connection with a disk drive-based archive storage system is described that essentially generates parity data for tape formatted data streams (stored to tape cartridges) that do not align by way of data blocks or file marks. Data streams intended for tape storage sent to tape cartridges are also sent to a disk drive storage system via an encoder where parity of the data streams can be generated. More specifically, the encoder digitally formats tape blocks and tape marks (as well as other tape formatted structure) in a digital stream of data that can be added to other encoded digital streams of data to generate parity. To reconstruct a specific tape cartridge from a tape set, the encoded data from each of the tapes in the tape set are subtracted from the parity data and the remaining encoded data is decoded and sent to a designated tape cartridge.
