摘要:
Highly oil-filled ethylene/alpha-olefin/diene (EAODM) polymers in a free flowing powder or pellet form, processes for preparing these polymers, and the use of these polymers to prepare thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) are provided. Thermoplastic vulcanizate premixes can be prepared with the EAODM polymers and thermoplastic polymers, the premixes being easily converted into TPVs.

摘要:
The present invention provides immunogenic compositions and methods that may be used to administer safer (i.e., attenuated) alphavirus vectors (such as alphavirus vectors comprising a VEE virion shell) that retain improved immunogenicity as compared with other attenuated alphaviruses (e.g., the VEE 3014 mutant, described below). In particular embodiments of the invention, the alphavirus vector comprises VEE structural proteins comprising an attenuating mutation in the E1 glycoprotein. In other particular embodiments, the attenuating mutation is in the fusogenic region of the E1 glycoprotein. The present invention enables administration of lower dosages of a safer (i.e., attenuated) virus and, thus, can further reduce manufacturing costs. The present inventors have found that immunogenicity of alphavirus vectors may be influenced by a number of factors including species, site and route of administration.
摘要:
Systems and methods for enhanced network access are described. One aspect of one described embodiment includes receiving a request to connect to a network, the request associated with a user, determining a policy associated with the user, identifying at least one available network connection, determining at least one property of the at least one available network connection, evaluating the property based at least in part on the policy, and selecting the at least one available network connection based on the evaluation. In another embodiment, a computer-readable medium (such as, for example random access memory or a computer disk) includes code for carrying out such a method.
摘要:
Methods and systems are provided for migrating a data integration facility, such as an ETL job, from a source data integration platform to a target data integration platform. Certain embodiments involve externalizing a metadata representation of a source data integration job; parsing the metadata representation; importing the parsed metadata into a plurality of object representations of the source data integration job; generating an intermediate representation of the source data integration platform based on the plurality of object representations; and translating the intermediate representation to generate a target data integration job; wherein the target data integration job is adapted perform substantially the same functions as the source data integration job.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing actions while selecting objects on a user interface display. A user may select a first item in an area of a display controlled by a first process and drag that item to a second area on a display controlled by a second process. The second process may negotiate with the first process to provide certain data types, and based upon those data types, the second process will determine a list of actions in hierarchical fashion which may be performed upon the data. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, printing, sending electronic mail, and performing other actions in the computer system. Alternative and primary actions may also be specified by a user, such as by selecting various keys on a keyboard or other input device. Further, a user may specify that the second process display a list of actions which may be performed upon the selected item and allow the user to select an action from a list.
摘要:
A portable topical heat transfer device for topically cooling an animal or human when required such as to relieve pain and swelling from injured joints or muscles or the like. The device comprises a thermoelectric unit having a cold side and a warm side, a DC source which is connected to the thermoelectric unit, a heat sink which is mounted in a heat conductive relationship with the warm side of the thermoelectric unit, a fan for removing heat from the heat sink, and a strap or the like for securing the device to the body of a person.
摘要:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a mobile device having a controller to present media content provided by an interactive television (iTV) network, select a function during presentation of the media content to store at least a remaining portion of the media content, wherein the function is selected when the presentation of the media content is to be interrupted, store the media content in a memory location of the mobile device, select the function to retrieve the remaining portion of the media content from the memory location, and present the remaining portion of the media content. Other embodiments are disclosed.
