摘要:
A device is provided to be implanted to create a temporary or permanent connection between two hollow structures. The hollow structures may be, for example, an aortic or large vessel aneurysm sac and a large adjacent vein.

A method and connecting apparatus for attaching a pipeline termination assembly to a subsea structure. The pipeline termination assembly has a pivot axis member and the subsea structure has one or more capture slots to receive it. The pivot axis member is captured in the capture slot, the slot allowing vertical movement of the pipeline termination assembly. The pipeline termination assembly is rotated about the pivot axis to assume a horizontal position. In the horizontal position, the capture slot permits horizontal movement of the pipeline termination assembly. A capture device mounted on the subsea structure provides the capture slots. At least a part of the capture device is moved with respect to the subsea structure to retain the pivot axis member in the capture slot on rotating the pipeline termination assembly about the pivot axis.

An educational virtual space facilitates interactions between teachers (including administrators and/or parents) and students (including students taught at home, at school, and elsewhere, as well as any other users). A teacher interface module enables a teacher to guide students through a curriculum of components of educational content within and/or outside of the educational space. Individualized sequences of components are adaptable, e.g. based on student performance information. Student progress is monitored and represented graphically through the teacher interface module.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an asset classification system based on investment strategy. The system determines a number for performance measures and strategy classifications. These measures indicate, in one configuration, an extent to which a security or manager is outperforming or attempting to outperform a benchmark and how successful the security or manager has been based on historic performance data.
摘要:
A biomarker for pancreatic beta-cell mass comprising measuring the levels of CFC1 in the serum of a subject is described. The biomarker provides a noninvasive means for measuring pancreatic beta cell mass that is particularly useful for monitoring the efficacy of treatments for metabolic disorders such as Type I or Type II diabetes, including pancreatic islet cell transplantations.
摘要:
The present invention features MCH-1R antagonist binding proteins. MCH-1R antagonist binding proteins described herein are based on an MCH-1R having one or more alterations to the second intracellular loop or carboxy terminus that render the receptor substantially inactive to MCH binding. An MCH-1R antagonist binding protein can bind MCH-1R antagonists, but does not exhibit high affinity MCH binding and is not activated by the MCH.
摘要:
A vehicle air supply system having a compressor, an air dryer, a reservoir adapted to receive air from the compressor via the air dryer, and control means operable to cause a standard regeneration of the air dryer when a predetermined system condition is met, the control means being further operable to cause an intermediate regeneration of the air dryer in advance of said predetermined system condition being met.
摘要:
A beam of light is directed at a flow of particulate material discharging from a conveyor in a curved path. The lower part of the light beam is interrupted by the material as it follows the curved path, the shadow profile being sensed to give an indication of the volume of material flowing.
