Pharmacological Characterization of RO5461861, a Potent and Selective PDE10A Inhibitor
We describe the characterization of a new class of potent PDE10A inhibitors exemplified by 4-(Azetidine-1 -carbonyl)-2-methyl-2-H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-amide (RO5461861) in vitro as well as in behavioral tests relevant to NMDA-R hypofunction and working memory.

Towards community-centered support for peer-to-peer service exchange: rethinking the timebanking metaphor
We conducted a field study of the most prominent of these, timebanking; a system in which ‘time dollars’ are earned and spent by people providing services for and receiving them from each other.

Simulation, Design, Fabrication, and Testing of a Mems Resettable Circuit Breaker
We describe a novel concept for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resettable circuit breaker. The concept involves fabricating the circuit breaker and the reset switch using a single microcantilever.

The Convergence of Mobility, Personalization and Security
New product innovation is as much about making advanced technology accessible to a broader market as it is about adding wow-factor features. Iris authentication—once a niche component of high-end security systems—will debut in compact, cost-competitive form factors at this year’s ISC West security industry trade show. SRI International will demonstrate several new Iris on the Move®-powered solutions, including…
