    摘要: The present invention provides novel polynucleotides encoding Drosophila DmTNF polypeptides, fragments and homologs thereof. The present invention also is directed to novel polynucleotides encoding two Drosophila DmTNF variants, DmTNFv1 and DmTNFv2 polypeptides, fragments and homologs thereof. Also provided are vectors, host cells, antibodies, and recombinant and synthetic methods for producing said polypeptides. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the present invention, in addition to methods of genetically modifying Drosophila or cultured cells to express or mis-express DmTNF, DmTNFv1, or DmTNFv2. The invention also relates to the use of such modified insects or cells to characterize DmTNF activity, identify TNF-like genes and/or genes implicated in modulating TNF, characterize TNF signaling pathways, and/or to identify modulators of DmTNF activity.

    摘要: An execution architecture, a development architecture and an operations architecture for a netcentric computing system. The execution architecture contains common, run-time services required when an application executes in the netcentric computing system. The development architecture is the production environment for one or several systems development projects as well as for maintenance efforts. The purpose of the development environment is to support the tasks involved in the analysis, design, construction, and maintenance of business systems, as well as the associated management processes. It is important to note that the environment should adequately support all the development tasks, not just the code/compile/test/debug cycle. The operations architecture is a combination of tools and support services required to keep a production system up and running efficiently.

    摘要: A practical and useful dual-element, or dual-cone, loudspeaker realizes a high efficiency of operation. Two preferably identical loudspeakers are placed back-to-back with their frontward openings facing in opposite directions, having no acoustical or mechanical connection between their movements. In the preferred embodiment, the back-to-back voice coils share a common permanent magnet. The back-to-back speaker assembly is mounted into a fixture in the center of two opposing horns, each containing an approximately 90-degree bend, approximately in the center of their lengths. The horns are acoustically independent and have approximately co-planar openings (as a result of the 90-degree corners) that project acoustical energy toward the same target. A distinct advantage due to the efficiency realized from this loudspeaker is a typical acoustical power gain of 11 dB with this approach vs. conventional speaker horn constructions. This power gain results in lower amplifier output power level requirements, hence reduced circuit costs and extended battery life in portable products.
