摘要:
An ionic liquid piezoelectric gas sensor for the detection of polar and nonpolar organic vapors. The gas sensor can operate at high temperatures with a fast linear response which is also reversible. At high temperatures, the frequency change (Δf) versus concentration (C) curve mirrors the Henry's gas law, such that the concentration of a gas sample in liquid solvent is proportional to the concentration or partial pressure of the sample in gas phase. The gas sensor can be used for quantitative analysis of gas vapors and determination of Henry constants.
摘要:
A cell transfection/culture device is disclosed which includes a solid support coated with a degradable polymer cation as a transfection reagent. The transfection/culture device is conveniently stored at room temperature until use. Cell transfection is accomplished easily by adding the nucleic acid of interest and the cells to be transfected to the transfection/culture device. Cell transfection is completed in less than one hour by using the transfection/culture device described herein.
摘要:
Methods and kits for transporting heterologous compounds into cells, particularly mammalian cells, are disclosed. The method involves the pretreatment of the cell with a polycation, cationic polymer and/or cationic peptide before transportation of the heterologous compound into the cell. The methods are particularly applicable to the transport of peptides and proteins.
摘要:
Complexes are disclosed which are a combination of a polynucleotide and a biodegradable polyacetal-peptide. The disclosed complexes are useful for cell transfection.
摘要:
A neural system is disclosed for processing an exogenous input process to produce a good outward output process with respect to a performance criterion, even if the range of one or both of these processes is necessarily large and/or keeps necessarily expanding during the operation of the neural system. The disclosed neural system comprises a recurrent neural network (RNN) and at least one range extender or reducer, each of which is a dynamic transformer. A range reducer transforms dynamically at least one component of the exogenous input process into inputs to at least one input neuron of said RNN. A range extender transforms dynamically outputs of at least one output neuron of said RNN into at least one component of the outward output process. There are many types of range extender and reducer, which have different degrees of effectiveness and computational costs. For a neural system under design, the types of range extenders and/or reducers are selected jointly with the architecture of the RNN in consideration of the neural system's processing performance with respect to the mentioned performance criterion, the RNN's size and the computational cost of selected range extenders and reducers so as to maximize the cost effectiveness of the neural system.
摘要:
A pump body of an oral irrigator includes a mount, a motor disposed at a rear end away from the mount, a pinion disposed on a shaft of the motor, an annular gear disposed on a shaft member to mesh with the pinion, a cam disposed in the annular gear and adjacent to one side, a linkage secured to the cam, front and rear plungers disposed on a front end of the linkage, and a cylindrical tube disposed on the plungers in the mount. The rotation of the cam only allows the linkage to repetitively moves in a back-and-forth linear motion. Wear between the plungers and the cylindrical tube is decreased to a minimum and leakage is prevented.

A method and system for interactive second screen comprises the steps of capturing audio, video or image information from the primary screen via sensors built with the secondary screen device; ingesting and collecting VDNA (Video DNA) fingerprints of the captured media information in the secondary screen device; sending the ingested fingerprints along with other information such as metadata, user's location, etc, to the content identification server via Internet or mobile networks; providing content-aware information or resources back to the secondary screen device, and providing user interaction with the content-aware information and resources.
