A vaccine composition is provided which comprises inverted microsomes or fragments thereof from an animal cell in association with an externally disposed peptide antigen and a protein of the MHC.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a control channel in a base station for a wireless communication system. The base station transmits information including a number of channel elements constituting control channels, to a terminal; establishes a set of control channels that the terminal can receive, within the number of channel elements using an identifier (ID) of the terminal; and transmits control information to the terminal through a selected control channel among the control channels. The terminal is restricted to monitor only a proper number of control channels established without the need to monitor all control channels, thereby reducing reception complexity and avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.

The body includes a shoulder permanently connecting the body to a container and a nozzle connected to the shoulder. A one piece dispensing component comprising a body, a flip cap, and a hinge. The body including a nozzle and a shoulder connected to a product container, wherein a longitudinal axis of the nozzle is offset from a longitudinal axis of the body. A process of manufacturing a one piece dispensing package that includes the steps of producing a one piece dispensing component, producing non-injection-molded tube having an open end and a closed end opposite the open end, and permanently connecting the one piece dispensing component to the open end of the tube. The one piece dispensing component includes a shoulder, a nozzle, a flip cap, and a hinge attaching the flip cap to the nozzle.
Abstract:
Methods of treating a mammal at risk for ischemia-reperfusion injury are provided. The methods comprise administering an adrenomedullin binding protein-1 (AMBP-1) to the mammal in sufficient amount to reduce the injury. Also provided are methods of treating a mammal at risk for ischemia-reperfusion injury to the bowel. The methods comprise administering adrenomedullin to the mammal in sufficient amount to reduce the injury.
Abstract:
A circuit interrupter comprises a pair of fixed contact strips, a pair of load contact strips, a pair of movable contact strips, a reset component, a movable component, and a trip component that contains a reset contact. Each of the fixed contact strips has a fixed contact. Each of the load contact strips has a load contact. Each of the movable contact strips has a fixed end and a movable end. The movable end of each movable contact strip is split into an inner sub-strip and an outer sub-strip. Each movable end has a first movable contact disposed on the inner sub-strip arranged for contacting one of the corresponding load contacts and a second movable contact disposed on the outer sub-strip arranged for contacting one of the corresponding fixed contacts. The movable component, disposed to sustain the movable ends of the movable contact strips, allow the inner sub-strips and the outer sub-strips to rest on different horizontal planes. The movable component is capable of either being latched with or released from the reset component to move between a first position, a second position, and a third position.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for transmitting an Internet Protocol (IP) packet in a terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting system. An IP encapsulator receives an IP packet from an upper layer, and converts the IP packet into Ultra Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) data and ULE-Forward Error Correction (FEC) data if there is a request for use of ULE and ULE-FEC. A Transmission Parameter Signaling (TPS) block sets TPS bits of the IP encapsulated data. A modulator modulates the TPS bits and the data output from the IP encapsulator.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for delivering a polynucleotide encoding a gene of interest to a target cell using a virus. The virus envelope comprises a cell-specific binding determinant that recognizes and binds to a component on the target cell surface, leading to endocytosis of the virus. A separate fusogenic molecule is also present on the envelope and facilitates delivery of the polynucleotide across the membrane and into the cytosol of the target cell. The methods and related compositions can be used for treating patients having suffering from a wide range of conditions, including infection, such as HIV; cancers, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and breast cancer; and hematological disorders, such as severe combined immunodeficiency.
Abstract:
A circuit interrupter comprises a pair of fixed contact strips, a pair of movable contact strips, a reset component, a movable component, and a tripping component that contains a reset contact. Each of the fixed contact strips has a fixed contact. Each of the movable contact strips has a fixed end and a movable end which has a movable contact arranged for contacting one of the corresponding fixed contacts. The movable component is disposed to sustain the movable ends of the movable contact strips and is capable of either being latched with or released from the reset component to move between a first position where the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts and the movable contact strips are separated from the reset contact, a second position where either the movable contact strip contacts the reset contact and the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts, and a third position where the movable contacts make contact with the respective fixed contacts and the movable contact strips are separated from the reset contact. The tripping component is capable of latching the reset component with the movable component for the movable component to move to the third position upon detection of a reset request and releasing the reset component from the movable component for movable component to move to the first position upon detection of a fault condition.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a pluggable custom data binding system and method utilizing a generic data structure exchanged between a run-time system and a user define binding logic in Web Service Applications. The custom data binding system may replace the existing mappings for XML schema types. The custom binder is a function that works with the pairing of a particular XML schema type and Java type. The custom binder may define an interface including serialize and de-serialize methods to convert between Java objects and SOAPElements. After the custom binder is plugged into the run-time system, this custom binder may interact with the run-time system through use of SOAPElement. The custom binding provider may aggregate related custom binders to support particular custom data bindings. The custom binding provider may be created for a specific application that has a few XML schema types that are not supported by the JAX-RPC specification.
