摘要:
Methods and compositions for detecting the assembly of complexes include providing a solution where a first portion is separated from a second portion via a submicrometer pore, submicrometer tube or channel, nanopore, or nanotube or channel. One or more submicrometer or nanometer sized object(s) is added to the first portion of the solution. Due to molecular interactions, these objects assemble to form complexes consisting of two or more submicrometer or nanometer sized objects. Passage of a complex from the first portion of the solution through the submicrometer pore, submicrometer tube or channel, nanopore, or nanotube or channel to the second portion of the solution is detected using resistive pulse sensing. This sensing methodology may comprise detecting formation of complexes in real-time and/or may comprise detecting preassembled complexes.
摘要:
Synergistic mixtures of haloamines and their use to control the growth of microorganisms in aqueous systems are disclosed. The method of using the synergistic mixtures entails adding an effective amount of a monohaloamine and an effective amount of a dihaloamine to an aqueous system. The ratio of monohaloamine to dihaloamine is selected to result in a synergistic biocidal effect

A device for treating spinal stenosis having an implant body structure sized and configured to be positioned between the spinous processes of two adjacent vertebrae. The device may have a body portion having a first end portion, a second end portion and a sleeve between the first and second end portions. The device may also have at least two retainers positioned in and extendable from the body portion. A mechanism positioned within the body portion may be used to move the retainers between a retracted position and a deployed position. When the retainers are in the deployed position, the retainers may be positioned around the spinous process of at least one of two adjacent vertebrae. A plurality of installation tools may be used to install the device.

Synergistic mixtures of haloamines and non-oxidizing biocides and their use to control the growth of microorganisms in aqueous systems is provided. The methods entail adding an effective amount of at least one haloamine and at least one non-oxidizing biocide to an aqueous system thereby producing a biocidal synergistic effect.
摘要:
A predetermined number of bond cycles is carried out in order to find optimum bond parameters for a wire bonder. The bond parameters to be optimized are each varied within a predefined range. With each bond cycle, after attachment of the wire to the connection point, the capillary is moved out of the bond position in a predetermined horizontal direction whereby the current flowing through the drive which moves the capillary is monitored and its maximum determined.

A method of controlling a computing device including a physical battery and at least one group of applications executable on hardware resources of the computing device, each group including one or more applications. The method comprises controlling each group of applications based on a state of a respective virtual battery associated each group of applications, each virtual battery having a respective virtual capacity corresponding to a defined portion of a capacity of the physical battery and a respective virtual battery reserve representing an amount of energy that is available for use by the group of applications associated with the virtual battery.
摘要:
A valve for metering a fluid, e.g., for the injection of fuel in a fuel-injection system of internal combustion engines, includes: an intake for the fluid; a metering orifice for the fluid; and an elongated, hollow-cylindrical flow channel leading from the intake to the metering orifice, the flow channel having an outer channel wall and an inner channel wall. In order to influence the hydraulic resonances resulting from the structural design in such a way that an excitation of critical structural modes caused by the installation is prevented, the flow channel is subdivided into at least two channel sections which are separated from one another, and a flow connection for the fluid is established between consecutive channel sections.

The invention pertains generally to novel compositions and methods for constructing chemically sensitive ion channels. The compositions and methods include, for example, novel gramicidin A derivatives and their use in constructing novel ion channels for use as biosensors.
摘要:
A chuck is described, in particular for a hammer drill or chisel hammer, having a chuck body having an insertion opening for holding a tool shank, and a locking element for axially locking the tool shank in the insertion opening, the locking element being movable betveen a locked position and an unlocked position, and having an arresting pin, mounted in the locking element and radially displaceable between an arresting position and a release position, which axially arrests the locking element in its arresting position and axially releases it in its release position.

A mandrel and accessory and related combination for use with a rotary tool are disclosed. For instance, the mandrel and accessory combination includes a mandrel assembly and an accessory. The mandrel assembly includes (i) a shaft component defining an axis and having a first portion configured to be received in a chuck of a power tool, and a second portion having a first shaft tooth and a second shaft tooth each extending in a perpendicular manner with respect to the axis, and (ii) a collar component defining a passage through which the shaft component extends, the collar component having a first collar tooth and a second collar tooth. The accessory includes an outer wall structure defining a circular outer periphery; and an inner wall structure defining a coupling opening. The accessory is configured to be releasably coupled to the mandrel assembly.
