摘要:
A combustion system is operated with reference to compliant values of a governmentally regulated exhaust emission parameter. If an alarm condition is detected during an ordinary mode of operation, the combustion system is shifted into an assured compliance mode of operation. The shift to the assured compliance mode is made while continuing to operate the combustion system without a shut-down interruption.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for processing a captured image and, more particularly, for processing a captured image comprising a document. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprising a camera to capture documents is described. In another embodiment, a method for processing a captured image that includes a document comprises the steps of distinguishing an imaged document from its background, adjusting the captured image to reduce distortions created from use of a camera and properly orienting the document is described.
摘要:
A portable electronic device, such as a flashlight, with a circuit for reducing the initial surge of current that is sent through the lamp filament when a flashlight is turned on is provided. The circuit reduces the stresses placed on the lamp bulb when it is turned on, thereby extending the life expectancy of the lamp bulb. A flashlight with beacon mode that produces light according to a duty cycle of less than 11% is also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in part, to methods and compositions for needleless delivery of macromolecules to a subject. In one aspect, the methods and compositions involve administering to the subject a delivery construct comprising a carrier construct non-covalently bound to a binding partner, wherein the carrier construct comprises a receptor-binding domain, a transcytosis domain, and a macromolecule to which the binding partner non-covalently binds, wherein the binding partner binds to the macromolecule with a Ka that is at least about 104 M-1.
摘要:
An improved LED module that is thermally self-stabilizing, and that is able to be retrofitted into an existing flashlight is provided. In one embodiment, the LED module includes a light emitting diode, an amplifying circuit and a microchip. The amplifying circuit includes a temperature sensing device to sense heat from the light emitting diode. The output of the amplyifying circuit is input to the microchip which output to a switching device that regulates energy that is delivered to the light emitting diode. The switching device may be part of a boosting circuit, a bucking circuit or an inverting circuit.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method and system for managing inconsistencies between a radio communications network and a network database. In one aspect, the system is informed of one or more inconsistencies and various decisions are made as to what actions to take. One possible action is to simply inform a network operator of the discrepancy. Another possible action is to determine which network elements are affected by the inconsistency and to update the network database in relation to those network elements to compensate for the inconsistency.
摘要:
Methods of enhancing immune response to an immunogen in a subject are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of reducing the sensitivity to an allergen in a subject. The methods comprise the administration of an immunomodulatory compound in specific dosing regimens that result in enhanced immune response or reduced sensitivity.
摘要:
The present invention provides new processes for the preparation of unsubstituted and substituted 4-amino-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione compounds which are useful, for example, for preventing or treating diseases or conditions related to an abnormally high level or activity of TNF-±. The invention can provide improved and/or efficient processes for the commercial production of unsubstituted and substituted 4-amino-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione compounds, including, but not limited to, unsubstituted 4-amino-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione.
摘要:
The instant application inter alia relates to chimeric fusion constructs comprising the extracellular portion of human FcεRIα and at least one avian constant immunoglobulin domain and the use thereof for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
摘要:
Novel compounds and methods of using those compounds for the treatment of inflammatory conditions are provided. In a preferred embodiment, modulation of the activation state of p38 kinase protein comprises the step of contacting the kinase protein with the novel compounds.
