Abstract:
A screen bowl decanting centrifuge comprising a rotatable bowl (4) and a conveyor assembly (8) adapted, in use, to separate a slurry into solids and liquids components, and an outlet for the liquids component which outlet communicates with the inlet (102) of a perforated bowl section (100) arranged, in use, to filter the liquids component as it passes through the perforations of a screen or screens (13), wherein the perforated bowl section (100) comprises a plurality of removably mounted screen support sections (50).
Abstract:
Compounds are provided that act as potent antagonists of the CCR1 receptor, and have in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The compounds are generally aryl piperazine derivatives and are useful in pharmaceutical compositions, methods for the treatment of CCR1-mediated diseases, and as controls in assays for the identification of competitive CCR1 antagonists.
Abstract:
The cell surface c-Met receptor, through which hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) signals are mediated, has now been identified as the Angiotensin-IV receptor (AT(4)R) in processes that include HGF-regulated cell motility, angiogenesis cancer metastasis and others. Disclosed are angiotensin-like factor compositions and methods for using them to diagnose, prevent and/or treat conditions associated with c-Met dysregulation, including altering hepatocyte growth factor activity or c-Met receptor activity by administering an angiotensin-like factor that specifically binds to a cell surface c-Met receptor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to magnetic micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) or magnetic MEMS devices, particularly electronic devices in which a member adjoins a base or substrate and extends from the substrate proximate to a magnetic field element having an altered output associated with movement of the member. The first magnetic field element is adapted to emit or detect a magnetic field and positioned proximate to the member, and the second magnetic field element adapted to emit or detect a magnetic field and positioned proximate to the base or substrate, such that movement of the member in a first direction by a non-magnetic force results in a variation of magnetic field strength associated with displacement of the sensor in a first direction. The invention also relates to methods for fabricating magnetic MEMS devices, transducers, sensors, and accelerometers.
Abstract:
A suspension load beam used for attachment to a slider assembly and an actuation arm in a disc drive for data storage has a rigid middle beam section comprising a rigid bottom layer, a rigid top layer and a composite core layer sandwiched between the bottom layer and the top layer. A method for fabricating a vibration resistant mechanical member used a disc drive subject to high frequency motion operations is also disclosed. The method involves making an integral laminate structure and fabricating the mechanical member from the integral laminate structure. The integral laminate structure has a rigid bottom layer, a composite core layer on top of the rigid bottom layer, and a rigid top layer on top of the core layer so that the composite core layer is sandwiched between the rigid bottom layer and the rigid top layer.
Abstract:
Compounds are provided that act as potent antagonists of the CCR2 receptor. Animal testing demonstrates that these compounds are useful for treating inflammation, a hallmark disease for CCR2. The compounds are generally aryl sulfonamide derivatives and are useful in pharmaceutical compositions, methods for the treatment of CCR2-mediated diseases, and as controls in assays for the identification of CCR2 antagonists.
Abstract:
Thermal printing systems, thermal printers and methods for printing are provided. A print order is received at a printer driving device. The printer driving device forms a set of page data streams. Each page data stream comprises image data representing one image from the print order in a format that can be used by a printer. The printer prints images by transferring donor material for patches of donor material from a donor ribbon onto a receiver medium. The printer is operable to print images in a manner that exhausts a full donor patch set or fractional donor patch set. Printing is performed using donor material from a fractional donor patch set when it is determined at the printer that an image from a page data stream can be printed using a fractional donor patch set and when it is determined that a fractional donor patch set is available for printing.
Abstract:
Termicidal compositions comprising bifenthrin and acetamiprid are disclosed. The compositions provide a combination of properties not exhibited by either active ingredient when used alone.
