The present invention provides a system and process providing variable access to, as well as quick and accurate dispensing of, numerous selected reagents from a mass storage arrangement. According to one embodiment, an array of reagent dispensers is supported over a movable platform assembly. The platform assembly aligns a designated receiving receptacle under a selected dispenser of the array so that a respective reagent can be dispensed therein. Advantageously, the apparatus and process can be carried out under the control of a programmed computer.

The invention provides nucleic acid segments of the human genome including polymorphic sites, SNP haplotype blocks, SNP haplotype patterns for each block and informative SNPs for each pattern. Allele-specific primers and probes hybridizing to regions flanking these sites are also provided. The nucleic acids, primers and probes are used in applications such as association studies and other genetic analyses.

A body armor accessory adds protection to unguarded areas of conventional body armor. The removable accessory comprises an axillary panel having a coverage area and is made of material that impedes the penetration of a foreign object. The accessory can be worn on either the left or right side of the wearer. The coverage area to the deltoid and flank areas of the wearer provided by the axillary panel is greater than that provided by the vest without the panel. A deltoid panel provides added protection to the deltoid area of the wearer.
摘要:
A method, computer program product and system for displaying images during the execution of an application. A developer of an application inserts application hooks at particular locations in the code of the application to be executed. An application hook could be a call to a function in a utility code where the call includes the passing of a “key name”. The called function may retrieve an image located at an image file name in a configuration file associated with the key name if such an image file exists. Presentations that demonstrate the execution of the application may be easily modified by adding, deleting or replacing images at these file names. These modifications may be made without modifying the code of the application being executed. In this manner, different images used in different presentations may be displayed to different targeted audiences without modifying the code of the executed application.
摘要:
There is disclosed the use of a compound of formula (I) wherein R1, R2, X, Y, V, W and Z are as defined in the specification, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, enantiomers or racemates thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament, for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases or conditions in which inhibition of nitric oxide synthase activity is beneficial. Certain novel compounds of formula (Ia) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and enantiomers and racemates thereof are disclosed; together with processes for their preparation, compositions containing them and their use in therapy. The compounds of formulae (I) and (Ia) are inhibitors of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase and are thereby particularly useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of inflammatory disease.
摘要:
A method of forming a pot for an array of hollow fibre membranes (7) is provided, including the steps of placing the ends (6) of the fibre membranes (7) in a mould (5); forming a first layer (20) of curable resin material in a non-cured state around the fibre membrane ends (6), applying a second layer (21) of a polyurethane resin material to the first layer (20) prior to full curing of the first layer, the polyurethane resin material layer being chemically reactive with the first layer material to form an adhesive bond therebetween; at least partially curing both layers and removing the pot formed from the mould (5), wherein the second layer material is of higher flexibility than the first layer material when each layer is fully cured. Apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of analyzing genes for differential relative allelic expression patterns. Haplotype blocks throughout the genomes of individuals are analyzed to identify haplotype patterns that are associated with specific differential relative allelic expression patterns. Haplotype blocks that contain associated haplotype patterns may be further investigated to identify genes or variants of genes involved in differential relative allelic expression patterns.
摘要:
The invention disclosed is a device for repairing a soft tissue defect, particularly a defect in the meniscus of a knee. The device comprises an outer wall anchor for engaging against an outside wall of the meniscus on a first side of the defect, an inner meniscal anchor engaging an inner surface of the meniscus on a second side of the defect, the inner meniscal anchor having a locking mechanism, and a suture adjustably connecting the outer wall anchor to the inner meniscal anchor. Tension on the suture pulls the defect together and the locking mechanism then locks the suture in place.
