Abstract:
The invention relates to a polypeptide or part thereof which inhibits the apoptotic activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53, and includes screening methods to identify agents which interfere with the activity of the polypeptide.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to methods and kits that allow for classification of colorectal cancer cells according to genomic profiles, and methods of diagnosing, predicting clinical outcomes, and stratifying patient populations for clinical testing and treatment using the same.
Abstract:
A wireless earphone is provided herein. The wireless earphone includes a transceiver, a storage unit, a playing unit, and a speaker. The transceiver is for wirelessly receiving a compressed audio file. The storage unit is for storing the compressed audio file. The playing unit is for decoding the compressed audio file stored in the storage unit, and transforming the decoded audio file into analog audio signals. The speaker is for transforming the analog audio signals into sound. An audio player and an audio playing method are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a modified solid stick composition comprising a thermosetting plasticizer, a resin, a lubricant, a friction modifier, or a combination thereof. The solid stick compositions may be used for application between two metal surfaces in sliding and rolling-sliding contact such as steel wheel-rail systems including mass transit and freight systems. A method of reducing energy consumption, or controlling friction between a metal surface and a second metal surface by applying the solid stick composition to one or more than one of the metal surfaces, is also provided.
Abstract:
A test apparatus adapted for testing different electronic devices is provided. The apparatus provides a standard interface for operating with the different electronic devices. The interface provides an optional interface region, an optional test command region, and a selected test command region. The optional interface region is for displaying optional interfaces. The optional test command region is for displaying optional test commands relating to an interface selected in the optional interface region. The selected test command region is for displaying test commands selected from the optional test command region. In response to a selection on the user interface, the apparatus recognizes the interface and the test commands selected, and transmits instruction sets corresponding to the test commands through the interface recognized to the corresponding electronic device, thereby driving the electronic device performing required tests.
Abstract:
The invention relates to screening assays for the identification of agents which modulate the activity of polypeptides which affect the apoptotic activity of the tumour suppressor protein p53 and including gene therapy vectors comprising p53 and antibodies that bind phosphorylated epitopes.

Abstract:
A display device includes a detachable housing, a main body, and an interface unit. The interface unit electrically connects the detachable housing with the main body. The detachable housing includes an OSD unit for storing a plurality of OSD data; a command input unit for generating and sending signals in response to operations of a user; a processing unit for identifying operations of the user, and, if required by the operations, performing predetermined function to obtain OSD data, generating a corresponding control signal, and transmitting the OSD data and the control signal to the main body through the interface unit. The main body displays an OSD menu corresponding to the OSD data and adjusts the parameters of the display device, corresponding to the control signals.
Abstract:
A display device testing system includes a video signal outputting apparatus (10), a remote controller (20), a back board (30) and a display device (40). The video outputting apparatus outputs video signals which contain one or more testing samples provided for testing the display device to the display device. The remote controller generates control signals to control the display device to display the testing samples. The back board includes an interface. The interface receives the control signals from the controller, combines the control signals with the video signals into mixed signals, and transmits the mixed signals to the display device to obtain a test result. The test result is sent back to the remote controller via the back board for evaluating the performances of the display device. A related method is also disclosed.
