摘要:
The invention features immunogenic compositions and methods useful for eliciting an immune response. In preferred embodiments, papillomavirus or adenovirus vectors are used to elicit exceptionally potent antibody and T cells responses in disrupted epithelium. The methods are useful in preventing or treating a subject having a disease or an infection. In particular examples, the methods are useful for preventing or treating a viral infection.

A hopper loading system for a pallet making apparatus includes a first conveying system for conveying a layer of stringers from a stacked array in adjacent substantially horizontal relation along a first direction, and a second conveying system for conveying stringers in adjacent substantially horizontal relation to one of a plurality of hoppers along a second direction substantially transverse to the first direction.

An apparatus for making pallets includes an automatic stringer feeding system; an automatic stringer advancing system; a pallet assembly station; a nail delivery system; and a pallet stacking system. Wood stringers are automatically fed to a series of hoppers which facilitate advancing the stringers into the pallet assembly station. Spaced apart deck boards are nailed, via a gantry movable along a longitudinally extending frame on generally parallel spaced apart linear guide bearings, to both sides of the supporting base of transversely positioned stringers in the pallet assembly station. Multiple nailing stations in adjacent spaced relationship include a pneumatically driven double ram for nailing together stringers and overlying deck boards positioned within the pallet assembly station. The hopper loading system includes a first conveying system for conveying a layer of stringers from a stacked array in adjacent substantially horizontal relation along a first direction, and a second conveying system for conveying stringers in adjacent substantially horizontal relation to each hopper along a second direction substantially transverse to the first direction. A rare earth magnetic chuck is provided for holding a nail in position for nailing by the pneumatically driven ram. A method of making pallets includes conveying a plurality of elongated stringers in adjacent substantially horizontal relation along a first direction, and conveying the elongated stringers in adjacent substantially horizontal relation along a second direction to a hopper. The second direction may be substantially transverse to the first direction.

Apparatus for developing individual dental X-ray film consisting of a small processing tank and a holder for a plurality of individual films. The holder includes an elongated member which is H-shaped in transverse section and has a plurality of pairs of inwardly curved indentations formed in marginal portions of two sides thereof. The indentations coincide with the longitudinal edges of the oppositely facing legs of the H. The individual films are arranged transversely of the elongated member and extend laterally beyond the two other sides of the member.

Disclosed herein are methods of eliciting an immune response against a polyomavirus (for example, BKV serotype I (BKV-I), BKV serotype II (BKV-II), BKV serotype III (BKV-III) and/or BKV serotype IV (BKV-IV)) and methods of treating or inhibiting polyomavirus-associated pathology (such as polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, BKV-associated hemorrhagic cystitis, or JC virus-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy; PML). Further disclosed are immunogenic compositions of use in the disclosed methods. Also disclosed are methods of selecting an organ transplant donor and/or recipient including detecting whether the prospective donor and/or recipient has BKV serotype-specific (such as BKV serotype IV-specific) neutralizing antibodies.
摘要:
A medical system is disclosed, which can be useable in particular for monitoring and/or controlling at least one bodily function of a user. The medical system comprises a control device and at least one medical user element embodied separately from the control device. The medical user element and the control device are designed to exchange data wirelessly. The medical system is designed to enable an automatic assignment step, wherein an exchange of personal data between the medical user element and the control device is enabled by the automatic assignment step. The medical system is furthermore designed to automatically initiate the automatic assignment step by means of an assignment coupling between the medical user element and the control device. The medical system is furthermore designed to enable a separation of the assignment coupling for medical operation of the medical system after the assignment step.

摘要:
The present disclosure relates to various methods for measuring the amount of an analyte present in a biological fluid using an electrochemical testing process. Various embodiments are disclosed, including the use of AC test signals and the performance of tests having a Total Test Time within about 3.0 seconds or less, and/or having a clinically low Total System Error.
摘要:
A method of operating an electrochemical analyte sensor having one or more electrodes may comprise applying a time-varying input signal to at least one of the one or more electrodes, monitoring a time-varying output signal produced by the sensor in response to application of the time-varying input signal, determining a complex impedance of the sensor based on the time-varying input and output signals, and determining from the complex impedance information relating to operation of the sensor.
