摘要:
In a servo control system for a reluctance motor, the output of a reference waveform generator is applied to a power converter through a current controller. Under standstill conditions, at least two of the motor windings are energised so that both forward and reverse torques are established, the forward torque being in equilibrium with the reverse torque. The controller may be responsive to a bias signal to establish said torques. The control system may form part of a reluctance motor drive system.
摘要:
Methods are described for reducing cytoskeletal rearrangement and intercellular gap formation by contacting cells with an aminoalkyl glucosaminide phosphate. In particular, the methods can be used to reduce actin cytoskeletal rearrangement and/or intracellular gap formation related to ischemic or ischemia-reperfusion events and to alleviate diseases or conditions related to increased actin cytoskeletal rearrangement.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to novel methods of inhibiting angiogenesis using chlorotoxin agents. In some embodiments, the inventive methods include intravenous, intraocular, intravitreal, subjunctival injection, and/or topical administration of a chlorotoxin agent that may or may not be labeled. In some embodiments, the inventive methods allow treatment and/or amelioration of ocular diseases characterized by neovascularization, such as wet macular degeneration. In some embodiments, neovascularization is inhibited and/or newly formed vessels are caused to regress.
摘要:
The invention relates to immunogenic compositions for inducing an immune response to HIV comprising combinations of two, three, or four plasmids, where each plasmid is expressing a defined antigen, which may be a single antigen or a fusion of two or three antigens.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods and methods for the treatment, inhibition and/or reduction, and detection of metastatic tumors. In some embodiments, the inventive methods include systemic (e.g., intravenous) administration of a chlorotoxin agent that may or may not be labeled. In some embodiments, the inventive methods allow treatment, inhibition and/or reduction, and detection of metastases in the brain. In some embodiments, neovascularization is inhibited and/or newly formed vessels are caused to regress.
摘要:
The invention provides a DNA plasmid comprising: (a) a first transcriptional unit comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a first polypeptide operably linked to regulatory elements including a first promoter and a first polyadenylation signal; (b) a second transcriptional unit comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a second polypeptide operably linked to regulatory elements including a second promoter and a second polyadenylation signal; (c) a third transcriptional unit comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a third polypeptide operably linked to regulatory elements including a third promoter and a third polyadenylation signal; and wherein said first, said second and said third promoters are each derived from different transcriptional units; and wherein said first, said second and said third polyadenylation signals are each derived from different transcriptional units. The invention further relates to immunogenic compositions for inducing an immune response to HIV comprising combinations of two, three, or four plasmids, where each plasmid is expressing a defined antigen, which may be a single antigen or a fusion of two or three antigens.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a soil-less sand based root zone medium for the production of sod. The present invention is also directed to a method for the production of sod using a soil-less sand based root zone medium and a sod mat produced by the method of the present invention.
摘要:
A support arrangement for use in supporting a bone during a surgical operation. The arrangement includes one or more supports located by a guide means, each support including means to fit around and support said bone during said operation.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of a toxin moiety (e.g., a chlorotoxin moiety) as a carrier for therapeutic agents, e.g., therapeutic agents that require intracellular uptake to exert their effects. For example, in some embodiments, the present invention provides conjugates comprising a toxin (e.g., a chlorotoxin) moiety and an anti-cancer moiety and methods for using such conjugates to increase cellular uptake and/or increase specificity for cancer cells of the anti-cancer drug. In some embodiments, the present invention provides conjugates comprising a toxin moiety (e.g., a chlorotoxin moiety) and a nucleic acid agent. Also provided are methods of treatment involving administration of such conjugates, and pharmaceutical compositions and kits useful for carrying out such methods of treatment.
