Abstract:
A method of producing blood serum containing prophylactically or therapeutically active proteins, including obtaining blood from a patient, incubating the blood at a suitable temperature to induce production of prophylactically or therapeutically active proteins, and removing the prophylactically or therapeutically active proteins from the blood.
Abstract:
A method of merging a list of newly found network elements and a list of previously known network elements includes arranging the newly found network elements in a hierarchical structure, and determining one or more device matches between each network device in the list of newly found network elements and one or more network devices in the list of previously known network elements. The method further includes, for each of the one or more device matches, determining one or more network element matches between the newly found network element and the corresponding previously stored network device. The method also includes updating the previously found network device corresponding to each of the one or more device matches with the corresponding newly found network device.
Abstract:
One or more tethered platforms, each comprising three or more, mill rotors, are operated at altitudes in relatively high winds to generate electricity. These windmill kites use one or more electromechanical tethers on each platform. Their position, attitude and orientation are monitored by one or more GPS receivers and/or gyros and controlled through differential thrusts and torque-reactions produced by the mill rotors. The kites can be electrically powered from a ground supply during relatively calm periods, or landed if desired. During windy periods the kites may be used to generate electricity by tilting the rotors at an angle, or incidence to the oncoming wind. In this generate mode the mill rotors simultaneously develop thrust while generating electricity.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally provides novel STT-type zeolite materials called PIDC-120501, PIDC-120502, and PIDC-120805/120806 or PIDC-type zeolites and a method of making these zeolites. The present disclosure also provides for the use of these zeolite materials as a catalyst and a method of preparing said catalyst. The PIDC-type zeolites or STT-type zeolite materials may be used as a catalyst, such as in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) applications.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for repairing isolated chondral defects using allograft implants. Lesions in articular tissue are corrected by forming a recipient socket in the tissue. A donor graft of a size corresponding to the recipient socket is harvested from a partial tissue specimen obtained from allograft material. The donor graft is implanted into the recipient socket.
