摘要:
A interface mediator for a computing device is disclosed for providing mediation between a port of the computing device and a device normally connected to that port. The interface mediator for a computing device includes a processing unit for executing a control program; a first mediator port connected to said second processing unit for connection to the device normally connected to the computing device; a second mediator port connected to the processing unit for connection to port of the computing device; and a memory provision means for providing storage for a control program; whereby in use the device is connected to the first mediator port, the second mediator port is connected to said the computing device port, and the processing unit can mediate data communicated between the computing device port and the device. The mediation may include deletion, addition, or modification of the data.

A damper assembly and method of assembling a damper assembly wherein the damper assembly comprises an inertia member having a chamber therein, wherein an elastomer and a portion of a support member are retained under compression within the chamber by a snap-fitting retainer member. Also disclosed is another embodiment of the damper assembly and method of assembling a damper assembly comprising a support hub having a chamber therein, an inertia member having a protuberance extending therefrom and capable of insertion within a groove of an elastomer, wherein the elastomer and the protuberance are retained under compression within the chamber by a snap-fitting retainer member.

Compounds having immunomodulating activity are identified using a methodology which employs TER14687, TER10311 and/or TER17210 as standards. The effect candidate compounds have on PKC-theta interaction with cognate binding proteins is measured and compared with the standards. The interaction can be measured by a variety of techniques, including assessing translocation of said PKC-theta or fragment. Kits containing the TER14687, TER10311 and/or TER17210 standards are disclosed. TER14687, TER10311 and/or TER17210 are useful in modulating the immune system in a subject by reducing T-cell activity. TER14687, TER10311, TER17210 are used as leads to develop other compounds having immunomodulating activity.

An indexable cutting insert of the type having a corner radius and a corner angle adapted for finishing operations comprises a pair of substantially parallel spaced apart faces and at least one peripheral side surface being substantially normal to said faces. A pair of straight cutting edge extend away from the corner at the juncture of the peripheral side surface and a plane positioned closely adjacent and below the juncture of a respective face. To break the chips formed during cutting, a chip breaker recess extents rearwardly and along the cutting edges. The chip breaker recess includes a descending control surface leading to the bottom of the recess followed by an ascending control surface. The descending control surface comprises a first and second planar descending control surface with the first surface being at a shallow angle and the second surface being at a steep angle. The ascending surface directs the chip upwardly toward a central island formed within the plane of a respective face and away from the insert and the cutting edge. The chip breaker recess incorporates an additional shallow chip control recess formed by a raised land extending outwardly toward a corner from the central island along a bisector of a respective corner and a raised bottom surface extending above the bottom of the main chip breaker recess and around the corner. The additional chip control surfaces forming the shallow recess include an ascending corner chip control surface extending upwardly from the raised corner bottom control surface at a relatively steep angle. The recess is configured to change the curling motion of the chip at various depths of cut to enhance the chip breaking forces.
摘要:
A buttery and/or winey flavor of which diacetyl and acetoin are the major flavor constituents is produced by the fermentation of a coffee substrate. The process involves forming a nutrient media containing water and soluble coffee solids as the nutrient component, the soluble solids concentration being at least 0.5%. A microorganism which is either a strain of lactic acid producing bacteria or yeast capable of producing diacetyl is added the nutrient media and the combination is mixed and simultaneously placed into an environment of a pH of from 4.0 to 7.0, a temperature of from 16.degree. to 37.degree. C., for a period of time effective to produce diacetyl and aeration conditions wherein the nutrient media contains sufficient oxygen to allow for diacetyl production. The aforementioned process will produce diacetyl and acetoin. The diacetyl which is produced is recovered and or concentrated and added to a coffee product.
摘要:
Systems and methods for a capacitive coupler for high-voltage step-down include an actively-controlled current-steering circuit connected in series with a current-limiting capacitor in order to transform a higher and potentially variable AC voltage to a lower regulated DC voltage. The actively-controlled current-steering circuit includes a switching element which, during operation, is predominantly either fully open or fully closed, and comparatively spends only a small fraction of operating time in a transition-state between the open and closed positions.
