    摘要: Novel methods are disclosed for the long-term culture of human primary hepatocytes in tissue culture system. This culture system supports the replication, gene expression and dissemination of a multitude of pathogenic agents that reside in, or pass through, the liver. Among these, the invention advantageously provides for efficient hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication, and dissemination. Additionally disclosed are methods for the determining cellular receptors, hepatocyte cell subtypes, and host cell molecules required for efficient hepatic pathogen replication, expression and dissemination.

    摘要: A multi-application card for providing secure access to multiple card accounts. This system includes a multi-application card storing a readable identification number corresponding to the card, and a database located remotely from the card. The database correlates the identification number with a record associated with the card, and the record contains a list of card account numbers and associated indexes. The system also includes a translator that receives a transaction request including the identification number read from the multi-application card and one of the associated indexes obtained from a source other than the card. The translator then uses the received identification number to access the corresponding record in the database, and uses the received index number to retrieve the corresponding card account number and expiry date. The translator then transmits the card account number and expiry date in response to the transaction request. With this system, a cardholder can carry a single multi-application card that provides access to multiple accounts associated with different cards by using a simple index. Thus, the cardholder can use multiple credit, debit and other non-encoded, magnetically encoded, bar-coded and microprocessor based cards, without having to carry each individual card.

    摘要: A conductive, non-stick coating is provided using a ceramic material which is conductive, flexible and provides a surface which exhibits the property of lubricity. A room or near room temperature manufacturing process produces a coating of titanium nitride on a substrate, where the coating is amorphous if the substrate is a solid material including plastics, composites, metals, magnets, and ceramics, enabling the substrate to bend without damaging the coating. The coating can also be applied as a conformal coating on a variety of substrate shapes, depending upon the application. The coating is bio-compatible and can be applied to a variety of medical devices.
