Abstract:
A method for testing a signal comprises obtaining a signal, determining whether the signal has at least one period, measuring that period and providing the measurement as output. A power spectral density estimation can be used for signals having a single period, and an autocorrelation function with slicing can be used in an iterative procedure for finding multiple periods within signals.
Abstract:
Provided is a multimeric peptide comprising at least two peptide monomers linked to one another, each of the at least two peptide monomers comprising at least 6 consecutive amino acids from the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the at least two peptide monomers are each no longer than 30 amino acids, wherein the multimeric peptide is capable of reducing binding of Placenta Immunomodulatory Factor (PLIF) to human leukocytes.

Abstract:
A stamping device for stamping a nanotube network onto a target substrate is disclosed. The device comprises a template structure having a support structure formed on or attached to a substrate, and a plurality of nanotubes being supported by the support structure and engaging a plane which is spatially separated from the substrate.
Abstract:
A method for determining cell occupancy, confluency and cell migration in a cell culture, comprising receiving data related to pixel intensity in an image acquired of the cell culture, and distinguishing between cell concentrations in different locations in the cell culture by detecting variations in pixel intensity between multi pixel locations.
Abstract:
Filamentous bacteriophage which does not display an antibody or a non-filamentous bacteriophage antigen on its surface is used to inhibit or treat brain inflammation associated with amyloid deposits and/or involving activated microglia, to inhibit the formation of amyloid deposits, and to disaggregate pre-formed amyloid deposits.
Abstract:
A system and method are presented for use in delivering electromagnetic radiation to a limbal area of an eye, for example for treatment of glaucoma. The system includes an illumination unit, a beam shaping device and a control unit. The illumination unit includes a first source of electromagnetic radiation configured and operable for producing a beam of electromagnetic radiation having first optical properties to be delivered to the limbal area of a patient's eye to interact therewith and produce a desired effect, and a second source of electromagnetic radiation configured and operable for producing a beam of electromagnetic radiation having second optical properties. The beam shaping device when accommodated in an optical path of said first and second beams defines one or more regions along a path substantially aligned with a limbus of the patient's eye. The control unit is configured and operable for operating the illumination unit in first and second illumination modes, such that in the first illumination mode the second beam propagates towards said beam shaping device and upon identifying that the second beam illuminates the limbus, the second illumination mode is activated in which the first beam is directed via said beam shaping device to pass through said one or more regions along said path to thereby interact with the limbus.
Abstract:
A method of modulating a dynamic range of a plurality of picture elements each containing image information. The method comprises: (a) inputting the plurality of picture elements and extracting, from the image information of a picture element of the plurality of picture elements an intensity level being in a first dynamic range; and (b) for the picture element: (i) defining a surrounding region of picture elements and a remote region of picture elements; (ii) selecting at least one adaptation weight-function; and (iii) using the at least one adaptation weight-function and intensity levels of each picture element of the surrounding and the remote regions, for assigning a new intensity level to the picture element, the new intensity level being in a second dynamic range, thereby modulating the dynamic range of the plurality of picture elements.
Abstract:
A T cell expressing an FC gamma receptor is provided. Accordingly there is provided a T cell genetically engineered to express a first polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of an Fc receptor common γ chain (FcRγ), said amino acid sequence is capable of transmitting an activating signal; and a second polypeptide comprising an extracellular ligand-binding domain of an Fcγ receptor capable of binding an Fc ligand and an amino acid sequence capable of recruiting said first polypeptide such that upon binding of said Fc ligand to said extracellular ligand-binding domain of said Fcγ receptor said activating signal is transmitted.
