摘要:
The present invention concerns methods and compositions involving RNase III and polypeptides containing RNase III domains to generate RNA capable of triggering RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) in a cell. In some embodiments, the RNase III is from a prokaryote. RNase III activity will cleave a double-stranded RNA molecule into short RNA molecules that may trigger or mediate RNAi (siRNA). Compositions of the invention include kits that include an RNase III domain-containing polypeptide. The present invention further concerns methods using polypeptides with RNase III activity for generating RNA molecules that effect RNAi, including the generation of a number of RNA molecules to the same target.

A charging system of the present invention is connectable to a power grid having a monitoring device. The monitoring device monitors the power delivered to a plurality of loads and determines a power factor and a power factor correction value associated with the loads. The power factor correction value indicates the difference between the power factor and unity. The charging system includes an electrical device, a charger in communication with the electrical device, a charging controller, a power factor correction circuit, a communication device, and a controller. The communication device of the charger receives a data signal from the monitoring device indicative of the power factor correction value associated with the plurality of loads. The power factor correction circuit is configured to communicate an input current to and from the power grid, which adjusts the power factor of the associated loads to about unity.

An anti-theft tag includes a body that carries an EAS sensor, a shrinkable sleeve disposed about the outside of the body, an adhesive material disposed on the body between the body and the sleeve, and a sleeve holder extending from the body. The sleeve holder is constructed and arranged to hold the sleeve on the body such that a portion of the sleeve and the body define an aperture configured to receive an elongate article, such as an arm from a pair of eyeglasses. In use, once the anti-theft tag is disposed on the article, an assembler shrinks the sleeve to secure the anti-theft tag to the arm. In such a configuration, the sleeve and adhesive material holds the body of the anti-theft tag against the arm, thereby limiting the ability for a thief to remove the anti-theft tag from the elongate article by twisting or rotating the anti-theft tag relative to the article.

Provided herein are methods for treating or preventing neuropathy, neuropathy-related conditions, wherein the neuropathy or neuropathy-related conditions are induced by, or otherwise associated with, treatment of the subject with at least one chemotherapeutic agent, the methods comprising administering an effective amount of an isoflavonoid compound of formula (I). Also provided are methods for the treatment of nerve damage. Also provided are uses of isoflavonoid compounds of formula (I) in the treatment of neuropathy, neuropathy-related conditions and nerve damage.

A receiver utilizes an array of complex accumulation registers to form an image of the average chip shape or, as appropriate, chip edge shape, of the received signal over a specified period of time as a time series of complex power measurements. The receiver divides the length of the chip into a plurality of ranges, or bins, and, as appropriate, extends the bins to cover additional chips or portions thereof. When a sample is taken, the receiver enables the respective registers that are associated with the corresponding bin or bins, and the respective registers then accumulates the associated power measurement. The receiver uses the accumulated measurements from selected registers and/or selected groups of registers, to produce the correlation values that are needed to perform one or more correlation techniques and/or one or more multipath mitigation techniques. As appropriate, the sizes and/or starting points of the bins, and/or the selections of the bins for the various groupings may be altered, to change the spacings, locations, and so forth to which correlation values correspond.

A buffer includes a plurality of serial inputs, a plurality of de-serializers, each coupled to a respective input, a plurality n of buffers and a media access controller having inputs coupled to the plurality of de-serializers, data outputs coupled to the buffers, and two control outputs coupled to respective buffers for buffering input data at a clock rate one-nth that of the input data. Preferably the buffer is a bifurcate buffer. In operation, serial packets are received on a port. They must be converted to parallel data for processing by conventional CMOS logic, however there are limits serial to parallel conversion ratio. This buffer describe circumvents theses limits.

An anti-theft tag deterring theft of a ring is provided. The anti-theft tag includes an elongated housing for accommodating an EAS marker, a product support member that locks into the housing and which supports the ring, and a flexible, tear resistant strap for securing the ring to the support member, the strap being disposed at least partially within the housing during use. In one embodiment, the support member includes an arcuate seat portion for supporting a circular shank portion of the ring, and a locking member that locks into a corresponding cavity in the housing. In use, the tear resistant strap extends over the ring shank, and the strap ends are received within the cavity of the housing to protect the strap from unauthorized removal by a consumer.

A solute concentration measurement device is disclosed. The device may comprise a filter membrane, an exchange chamber, a sensing chamber, a separator, and a sensor. The device may be configured to be placed in fluid communication with a sample solution containing a solute and a solvent. The filter membrane may provide selective fluid communication between the solution and the exchange chamber. The separator may separate the exchange chamber from the sensing chamber and cause a change in a condition of the sensing chamber corresponding to a change of a condition of the exchange chamber. The sensor may sense the condition pertaining to the sensing chamber and calculate the concentration of the sample solution corresponding to this change.
