Abstract:
A self-contained micro-scale gas chromatography system that includes a plurality of gas chromatography components arranged on a micro-fluidic platform with nearly zero dead volume “tubeless” fluidic connections for the gas chromatography components. The micro-fluidic platform includes a plurality of flow channels that provide fluid flow paths for a sample, carrier gas and waste gas through and among the micro-fluidic platform and the plurality of gas chromatography components. The gas chromatography components may include a micro-scale gas chromatography column that is implemented as a MEMS device and includes embedded heating and cooling elements. The system may also include an on-board supply of carrier gas and on-board waste management, as well as a thermal management scheme making the system suitable for use in oil and gas wells and also other remote environments.
Abstract:
Search results are ranked by applying sub-relevancies within a search result list. This permits search result lists to be further refined into more manageable relevant groupings from a user's perspective. The sub-relevancies or ‘group-by’ parameters are derived from search result attributes. Attribute values from the attributes are employed in a ranking scheme to group the search results based on attribute value relevancy. The grouped search results can then be displayed to users via a search result page. In one instance users can select which attribute value is used to group the search result list. Ranking processes are based on object ranking algorithms that consider each attribute value as an object type. Some instances provide for search result list group condensing based on relevancy of the attribute values as well. A top-k instance can be employed to limit the search results to control the amount of time required for processing groupings.
Abstract:
A compressor diffuser for a vehicle engine turbocharger, the diffuser comprising: a diffuser housing having a gas flow path having a side wall connecting a gas inlet to a gas outlet; a plurality of pivotally mounted diffuser vanes arranged in the flow path to control gas flow, and a vane angle control device for adjusting the angle of each of the plurality of vanes in the flow path; the control device comprising a unison ring coupled to the plurality of vanes in such a way that rotation of the unison ring pivots each of the vanes by interaction of a cam surface with a respective cam follower.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for the suppression of oncogenic transformation, tumorigenesis and metastasis. The present invention discloses functional domains of E1A responsible for the suppression of transformation, and provides mini-E1A constructs that can be used for tumor suppression. The invention also discloses methods for the novel use of mini-E1A in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs and/or tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Abstract:
A medial buttress construct for femoral neck includes a support part and an attachment fixing part fixedly connected to each other. The support part includes a structure matching an inferior surface of a proximal end of the femoral neck. The attachment fixing part includes structures simultaneously matching a front side surface of a distal end of the femoral neck and a front side surface of an upper end of femoral shaft. The attachment fixing part includes at least one opening for allowing a screw to pass through the structure matching the front side surface of the distal end of the femoral neck, and at least one opening for allowing a screw to pass through the structure matching the front side surface of the upper end of the femoral shaft. A fracture fixation device for femoral neck may include the medial buttress construct for femoral neck.
Abstract:
A tendo calcaneus suturing instrument, comprising: a first support and a second support that are of a U-shaped structure, a distance adjustment device, a first guide sleeve, a second guide sleeve, a first positioning tube, a second positioning tube and a tendo sheath cutter. An outer arm and an inner arm of the first support, and an outer arm and an inner arm of the second support are respectively provided with a first positioning hole, a first guide hole, a second positioning hole and a second guide hole; and the first guide sleeve/the second guide sleeve is fixed by means of the first positioning hole/the second positioning hole and is matched with the first guide hole/the second guide hole. The first positioning tube/the second positioning tube provided with a through hole is arranged in the first guide sleeve/the second positioning sleeve or the tendo sheath cutter is arranged in the first guide sleeve and/or the second guide sleeve in a matching manner. The tendo calcaneus suturing instrument can simplify the surgical procedure, improve the surgical effect and relieve pains of a patient.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a memory cell and a memory are provided. The memory cell comprises a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell including a reset-set (RS) flip-flop and a Read Only Memory (ROM) cell being connected (or coupled) to the SRAM cell to set logic states of internal latch nodes of the RS flip-flop when the ROM cell is triggered. The size of the memory cells proposed in an embodiment of the invention is much smaller than the sum of the size of ROM cells and the size of SRAM cells with the capacity of the memory cells same as the sum of the capacity of the ROM cells and the capacity of the SRAM cells.
Abstract:
Adsorption vessels and systems utilizing adsorption vessels are provided herein. In one embodiment, an adsorption vessel for receiving a fluid mixture and for separating a component from therein includes a vessel wall extending from a bottom end to a top end and defining a vessel chamber. A bottom inlet is formed in the bottom end of the adsorption vessel for introducing the fluid mixture to the vessel chamber. Further, a support plate is positioned in the vessel chamber above the bottom end, and defines a bottom void volume between the support plate and the bottom end. A filler material having a total porosity of less than about 25% is positioned in the bottom void volume and defines a channel for flow of the fluid mixture from the bottom inlet to the support plate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an acrylamide compound of Formula I, or an isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt and solvate thereof, to a composition comprising the compound or an isomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt and solvate thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient or diluent, and to a use of the compound or the composition for prophylaxis and/or treatment of a disease or disorder associated with cardiomyocyte apoptosis
Abstract:
A method and a device for file transfer protocol (FTP) deadlock detection and self recovery are provided by the disclosure in order to solve the sudden deadlock problem in the FTP upload operation. The method includes: if a daemon determines that a deadlock occurs in an FTP upload task by a heartbeat detection mechanism, the socket resources used by the FTP upload operation is recorded at the storage location in a socket resource cycle queue, and an FTP upload task end process is started; determining whether the socket resource cycle queue is full, if it is not full, the socket resource information occupied by the current deadlock is put into the socket resource cycle queue, otherwise, the earliest socket resources in the socket resource cycle queue are released, and the socket resource information occupied by the current deadlock is put into the socket resource cycle queue.
