摘要:
The present invention provides a family of non-naturally occurring polypeptides having cholesterol efflux activity that parallels that of full-length apolipoproteins (e.g., Apo AI and Apo E), and having high selectivity for ABAC1 that parallels that of full-length apolipoproteins. The invention also provides compositions comprising such polypeptides, methods of identifying, screening and synthesizing such polypeptides, and methods of treating, preventing or diagnosing diseases and disorders associated with dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia and inflammation.
摘要:
A gyratory crusher has a crushing head fixedly attached to an upper portion of a substantially vertical shaft, on which crushing head a first crushing shell is mounted, and a frame on which a second crushing shell is mounted. The second crushing shell defines, together with the first crushing shell, a crushing gap. The gyratory crusher has a space adapted to contain liquid. The space is defined by a piston, which is formed at least partly of the lower end of the shaft, a cylinder, which is formed at least partly in an eccentric assembly, and a bottom element. The space is adapted to form a cushion with the aid of the liquid, so that the cushion can serve as a thrust bearing transmitting vertical forces from the crushing head to the bottom element.

摘要:
In an RF power LDMOS transistor comprising multiple pairs of parallel gate fingers (11) located on opposite side of an associated p+ sinker (23), and metal clamps (14) for short-circuiting the p+ sinkers (23), each gate finger (11) of a pair is associated with separate metal clamps (14) that short-circuit the n+ source region (20) and the p+ sinker (23) associated with particular gate finger (11). The separate metal clamps (14) associated with each gate finger pairs are separated by a slot (15) that extends between the parallel gate fingers (11), and a metal runner (13) extends in the slot (15) between the separate metal clamps (14) associated with each finger pair from a gate pad. Both gate fingers (11) of a gate finger pair are connected to the associated metal runner (13) at both ends and at predetermined positions along their lengths.
摘要:
The invention is based on the discovery that the presence of a discordant helix in a protein or peptide is predictive of that protein or peptide's ability to form amyloid. The invention includes methods for detecting discordant helices and methods of screening for compounds that stabilize the α-helix of a discordant helix-containing polypeptide. Compounds discovered using these methods are useful for treating or preventing disorders in which amyloid is produced. Such disorders include Alzheimer's disease and prion-associated disorders.
摘要:
Linearity and/or efficiency of a power MOS transistor comprising a plurality of transistor segments connected in parallel, is improved in that at least one group of said transistor segments has a different threshold voltage than the rest of the transistor segments.
