摘要:
A metalloprotease that converts TNF-&agr; from the 26 kD cell form to the 17 kD form has been isolated and purified and the cDNA sequence known. In particular, the protease has a molecular weight of approximately 80 kD. The isolated and purified protease is useful for designing an inhibitor thereof, and may find use as a therapeutic agent. Assays for detecting the protease-inhibiting activity of a molecule are also an aspect of the invention.

摘要:
A protein designated TRAIL receptor binds the protein known as TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL). The TRAIL receptor finds use in purifying TRAIL or inhibiting activities thereof. Isolated DNA sequences encoding TRAIL-R polypeptides are provided, along with expression vectors containing the DNA sequences, and host cells transformed with such recombinant expression vectors. Antibodies that are immunoreactive with TRAIL-R are also provided.

A disposable and portable seating apparatus made from a single sheet of recyclable material, such as corrugated cardboard. The apparatus is intended to be used as temporary seating for events, festivals, gatherings, or similar situations where seating is not readily available, or practical. The structural component of the seating apparatus is designed to interlock providing optimal strength to support the weight of an average adult. The design and material allow the seating apparatus to be assembled and disassembled relatively easily, without the use of any tools or additional bonding agents, such as glue, staples, or other adhesives. After use, the seat can be turned upside down and serve as a recycling container, or trash receptacle for discarded materials, such as; cans, bottles, etc. The exterior of the assembled may act as a medium for advertising purposes, used by companies promoting products, events, contests, teams, or organizations.
摘要:
The present antenna system includes a balun for coupling an antenna to a feed line. The balun has at least two transmission line transformers, such that the transmission line transformers are coupled in parallel at their inputs with the feedline, and coupled in series at their outputs with the antenna. At least one of the transmission line transformers maintained by the balun is fabricated so that it has reduced power dissipation properties, and reduced electromagnetic stress handling properties with respect to the other transmission line transformers. Such considerations reduce fabrication time, waste of material, and the cost of the balun.
