A releasable perfect bound book of transparencies. The book of transparencies comprises a plurality of sheets, the plurality of sheets including at least one transparency substantially free of a row of perforations; a cover over the plurality of sheets; and a layer of glue on a backbone of the plurality of sheets, the layer of glue adhering the cover to the backbone of the plurality of sheets, wherein the transparencies can be removed from the book by pulling on a corner of the transparencies. The invention also involves a method of making such a book.

The present invention relates generally to medical devices with therapy eluting components and methods for making same. More specifically, the invention relates to implantable medical devices having at least one porous layer, and methods for making such devices, and loading such devices with therapeutic agents. A mixture or alloy is placed on the surface of a medical device, then one component of the mixture or alloy is generally removed without generally removing the other components of the mixture or alloy.

A conversion kit assembly for converting a sleeper truck cab with a modular sleeper/cab into a day cab includes a sleeper truck cab including a rear sill, two laterally spaced walls, and a roof, with each of the walls having a B-pillar assembly at a rearward end of the sleeper truck cab. The B-pillar assemblies are coupled together at their upper ends by the roof, and at their lower ends by a lower member such as a lower panel or a rear sill such that the rearward end of the sleeper truck cab is substantially square. The sleeper truck cab further has a plurality of attachment points at the rearward end for attaching the modular sleeper. A first plurality of fasteners, which connect the modular sleeper to the sleeper truck cab, are removed. The modular sleeper is removed from the sleeper truck cab thereby creating a rearward opening at rearward end of modular truck cab. A closeoff panel assembly comprising a frame sub-assembly and an outer panel welded to the frame sub-assembly is then attached to the sleeper truck cab by fasteners disposed at locations corresponding to at least some of the plurality of attachment points. The closeoff panel assembly is provided to close the rearward opening created by removal of the modular sleeper from the sleeper truck cab. First and second reinforcement members connect the closeoff panel assembly to the B-pillar assemblies of the sleeper truck cab, and third and fourth reinforcement members connect the closeoff panel assembly to the lower panel or rear sill of the sleeper truck cab, to distribute loads from the closeoff panel to the sleeper truck cab, and thence to the vehicle chassis. A load is distributed from the closeoff panel assembly to the sleeper truck cab with the reinforcement members. A gasket is also used between the sleeper truck cab and the closeoff panel assembly to seal moisture from the cab.

Timing data associated with a database or database system can be stored in a reduced or compressed form which can be decompressed back to a full or original form. In doing so, timing data can be compressed by using a subset of a full set of possible values (e.g., a determined range which is more likely to occur) instead of using a full set of possible values. Timing data can also be compressed by eliminating redundant, insignificant duplicate and/or common values, for example, between one or more components (e.g., start and end times of a period of time) of the timing data.

The present invention relates generally to medical devices containing nanoporous surfaces and methods for making same. More specifically, the invention relates to implantable vascular stents or other biomedical devices having at least one dealloyed nanoporous layer that promotes improved cellular adhesion properties that promote healing and long term biocompatibility. In the case of stents, the nanoporous layer promotes re-endothelialization at sites of stent implantation vasculature, improves overall healing, and reduces inflammation and intimal disease progression. The nanoporous layer may be optionally loaded with one or more therapeutic agent to further improve the function of the implanted stent and further augment clinical efficacy.

Apparatus, methods, and systems for increasing flexibility and/or stretching the muscles of a user generally comprise a user support set atop an enclosure. The enclosure houses mechanisms to actuate a cable system, wherein the mechanisms at least one of feed and retract a cable of the cable system. The apparatuses, methods, and systems also comprise footholds proximate to the user support to support at least the feet from a user, wherein the cable system actuates between the footholds, and wherein the footholds actuate in at least a lateral motion to further accentuate increasing flexibility and/or stretching the muscles. The apparatus, methods, and systems also comprise a control handle coupled to the cable system for the user to grasp, wherein the cable system actuates to either one of increase and release a tension to the grasped control handle, and wherein the control handle comprises at least one control to regulate the either one of increase and release the tension.

摘要:
A prediction regarding one or more functions can be made for a database environment. In particular, a predication can be made with respect to values stored in at least one column of at least one table in a database, based on the evaluation of one or more functions for a subset of possible column values (i.e., resultant values derived from the evaluation of a subset of possible column values) without the need to calculate the function(s) for all of the actual entries in the column of the table(s). In effect, a functional predicate can be transformed (or translated) to a predicate that is dependent on the column values instead of the evaluation of one or more functions for the column values.
摘要:
In general, this disclosure describes example techniques to distort one or more visible attributes of an image content portion when a user requests to extend an image content portion beyond a boundary of the image content. A device, such as, but not limited to, a mobile device may receive a request that is based on a user gesture to extend the image content portion beyond a boundary of the image content. The device may, in response to the request, distort one or more visible attributes of the image content portion to indicate recognition of the request and to further indicate that the request will not be processed to extend the portion of the image content beyond the boundary of the image content.
