摘要:
Current stripped hole repair devices operate by expanding to exert pressure against the inside of a hole into which the device is placed, and are by design suitable only for repairing a stripped or damaged hole in alignment with the original hole. Likewise, various methods exist that do not result in a smooth surface into which a new hole can be drilled. In most cases, these methods are non-permanent, temporary, non-weight-bearing devices that inadequately address the problem. The solution provided comprises a solid plastic insert with segments that break off at a desired length, into which a new hole may be drilled and a screw inserted. The method for installing the apparatus utilizes an adhesive that bonds to the medium into which it is installed. The disclosure describes a simplified and practical method to repair a stripped screw hole, and an apparatus that can be manufactured and made commercially available.

A graphical user interface on a computer provides for the analysis of location specific data and the presentation of analysis results for visual comparison by a user. Results of the analysis are visually presented as icons subdivided into regions and arranged in such a way that the user is able to associate each icon with a data location. A visual presentation of results in the icons and regions allows a user to visually compare the analysis results in two or more data sets according to location. The graphical user interface further provides for the definition and adjustment of an analysis through the interaction of a user with a graphical representation of the analysis. In some cases, the visual presentation of results tracks the analysis adjustments so the user can visually observe the effects that the adjustments have on the results. A method of interacting with the interface to define an analysis and represent results and a method of presenting two or more data sets using the interface are described. The interface can be used to analyze and visually compare the results of location specific data from a number of sources and is illustrated in a flow cytometry application.

Low molecular weight polypeptides with chemokine activity were conjugated to water-soluble polymers and retain biological activity. These conjugated chemokines demonstrate enhanced and unexpected biological properties when compared to unconjugated chemokines.

A USB host in one form comprises a plurality of endpoints and a state machine operable to queue user requests of multiple USB devices connectable to the host, host endpoints being dynamically allocated to corresponding endpoints of the USB devices. An exemplary method comprises, while a USB host is connected to multiple USB devices, allocating one or more host endpoints to corresponding endpoints on a USB device connected to the host; at least partially completing a user request between the one USB device and the USB host; re-allocating the host endpoints to corresponding endpoints of another USB device; and at least partially completing a user request between the other USB device and the host.
摘要:
A display former or frame is adapted to receive folded on or about it a garment such as a shirt and has a support for the shirt collar. A locking support frame provides two bars, over one of which a lower or tail portion of the shirt is folded and the other bar has a hook engagement with the upper part of the former frame in order to secure the fully folded shirt on the former. Arms of the hook engagement may have a resilient motion to retain the bar in engagement with the hooks. Gripping means is also shown provided for receiving outer shoulder portions of the shirt to facilitate their folding behind the former and to obtain a taut fit of the shirt about the former.
摘要:
A battery cell design is disclosed that provides a predictable pathway through a portion of the cell (e.g., the cell cap assembly) for the efficient release of the thermal energy that occurs during thermal runaway, thereby reducing the chances of a rupture in an undesirable location. Furthermore the disclosed design maintains the functionality of the cell cap as the positive terminal of the cell, thereby having minimal impact on the manufacturability of the cell as well as its use in a variety of applications.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for monitoring one or more components of a wireless communication network. Preferably, an alarm system is linked to one or more components of a wireless communication network to determine whether the one or more components have been tampered with, removed or otherwise disabled. The monitored component can be a ground system in a cellular telephone network. The alarm system can include at least one conductive path linked to a ground bar of a ground system in a cellular telephone network such that if the ground bar is removed from the cellular telephone network the at least one conductive path is severed thereby generating an alarm signal. The alarm signal may take the form of an audible alarm (e.g., a horn), a visual alarm (e.g., flashing lights) and/or a signal transmitted to a monitoring station indicating that the ground bar has been removed and the equipment at the tower site is now vulnerable to lighting strikes. Preferably, the alarm system is configured such that it can be readily installed in existing sites as well as new sites. The at least one conductive path may be linked to two or more ground bars in series such that removal of either ground bar will result in the generation of an alarm signal. Alternatively, multiple ground bars at a single tower site can be monitored independent of each other.
