摘要:
An impeller according to an example of the present invention comprises a hub, and at least one blade supported by the hub. The impeller has a deployed configuration in which the blade extends away from the hub, and a stored configuration in which the impeller is radially compressed, for example by folding the blade towards the hub. The impeller may comprise a plurality of blades, arranged in blade rows, to facilitate radial compression of the blades. The outer edge of a blade may have a winglet, and the base of the blade may have an associated indentation to facilitate folding of the blade.

Techniques are provided for connecting multiple monitors to a computer system. In an embodiment, N monitors are connected in a daisy-chain manner and constitute a virtual monitor, which the computer system considers as the only monitor in the system. The last monitor, e.g., the Nth monitor reports its display capability to the (N−1)th monitor, which aggregates its capability and the capability of the Nth monitor to the (N−2)th monitor. The (N−2)th monitor aggregates its capability and the capability of the (N−1)th and Nth monitor to the (N−3)th monitor, etc., until the first monitor in the chain aggregates the capability of all monitors in the chain, and reports this Total Capability of the virtual monitor to the computer system. When displaying information, the computer system provides the display information to the first monitor, which displays what it is responsible for, and passes on the rest of the information to the second monitor. The second monitor displays what it is responsible for, and passes the rest of the information to the third monitor, and so on, until the last monitor in the chain displays its information.
摘要:
A controlling device having keys actuatable to emit signals to a consumer appliance and a releasable media storage device having data which is readable by the controlling device. At the controlling device at least a subset of the keys of the controlling device are selectively enabled or disabled as a function of the data read from the releasable media storage device. The releasable media storage device thus limits the ability of a user to interact with the consumer appliance via actuation of certain of the subset of keys of the controlling device.

The present invention relates generally to variant fluorescent proteins, and more specifically to monomeric and dimeric forms of Anthozoan fluorescent proteins. In one aspect, the present invention provides variants of fluorescent proteins, where the variants have a reduced propensity to tetramerize, and form dimeric or monomerc structures. The invention also relates to methods of making and using such fluorescent protein monomers and dimers.
摘要:
The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions for intradermal delivery of an antigenic or immunogenic agent in combination with one or more excipients. The immunogenic compositions of the invention comprise an antigenic or immunogenic agent and at least one excipient which acts as an adjuvant, i.e., enhances the immune response to the antigenic or immunogenic agent, once delivered to the intradermal compartment of a subject's skin. The immunogenic compositions of the invention comprise an excipient which when administered to the intradermal compartment of skin in accordance with the invention demonstrate adjuvant activity. The immunogenic compositions of the invention have enhanced efficacy as the excipients of the composition cause an asymptomatic skin irritation and recruit antigen presenting cells to the intradermal compartment and thus enhance presentation and/or availability of the antigenic or immunogenic agent to the antigen presenting cells. The enhanced efficacy of the immunogenic compositions of the invention may result in a therapeutically effective immune response after a single intradermal dose, with lower doses of antigenic or immunogenic agent than conventionally used, and without the need for booster immunizations
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to fluorescent proteins and fluorescent protein variants, and more specifically to monomeric and dimeric forms of Anthozoan fluorescent proteins. In one aspect, the present invention provides variants of fluorescent proteins, where the variants have a reduced propensity to tetramerize, and form dimeric or monomeric structures. In a further aspect, the present invention provides variants of fluorescent proteins, the variants being characterized by more efficient maturation than corresponding fluorescent proteins from which they are derived. The invention also relates to methods of making and using such fluorescent proteins and fluorescent protein variants, including fluorescent protein monomers and dimers.
摘要:
A novel FSH mutant with increased glycosylation and longer half-lifes for use in inducing folliculogenesis in human patients is described. The FSH mutant permits the use of lower cumulative doses of FSH to achieve the same or better clinical result.
摘要:
An electric motor and method for reducing or eliminating end play. The motor comprises an adjustment member that cooperates with an end lamina member to facilitate reducing end play. The adjustment member is slidably mounted on an armature shaft and inside an aperture of a portion of the end lamina tube to reduce or eliminate end play. Thereafter, the adjustment member is permanently secured to the end lamina tube. In another illustrative embodiment, the movable bearing retainer sets endplay and also retains brushes in an open position prior to, for example, assembly of the motor.
摘要:
A method for guiding a user to select a dose of insulin, including the steps of calculating a firsts pecific dose of insulin by applying information provided by the user to an insulin dose calculation algorithm, wherein such information includes at least the user's current blood glucose level and the user's desired blood glucose level, calculating at least a second specific dose of insulin that is different from the first specific dose, and presenting to the user a range of doses comprising at least two of the specific doses.
摘要:
A vertical laminated electrical switch circuit includes a first, second, and third ceramic substrate positioned in juxtaposed relationship relative to each other. The circuit also includes a first and second electrical device electrically coupled to each other. The first electrical device is coupled to the first and second substrates and positioned there between. The second electrical device is coupled to the second and third ceramic substrates and positioned there between. In some embodiments, multiple electrical devices may be coupled to a single substrate.
