Abstract:
Described herein is a combination apparatus and methods of using the combination apparatus. The combination apparatus is operable as both an edger and a sod cutter. The combination apparatus includes an arm that oscillates when driven by a motor. Both a sod cutter blade and an edger blade are coupled to the arm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to kinase inhibitor ligands and polyligands. In particular, the invention relates to ligands and polyligands that modulate ERK activity. The ligands and polyligands are utilized as research tools or as therapeutics. The invention includes linkage of the ligands and polyligands to a cellular localization signal, epitope tag and/or a reporter. The invention also includes polynucleotides encoding the ligands and polyligands.
Abstract:
A method to determine a distribution profile of an element in a film. The method comprises exciting an electron energy of an element deposited in a first film, obtaining a first spectrum associating with the electron energy, and removing a background spectrum from the first spectrum. Removing the background value generates a processed spectrum. The method further includes matching the processed spectrum to a simulated spectrum with a known simulated distribution profile for the element in a film comparable to the first film. A distribution profile is obtained for the element in the first film based on the matching of the processed spectrum to a simulated spectrum selected from the set of simulated spectra.
Abstract:
A method of treating exposure to organophosphate agents through the use of compounds comprising tetrahydroindolone and arylpiperazine moieties.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising tetrahydroindolone derivatives in which the tetrahydroindolone moiety is covalently linked to a substituted arylpiperazine moiety and methods for treating neurological and psychiatric conditions using such compositions are disclosed.
Abstract:
A leveling system for a structure to be leveled is provided. At least one linear accelerometer is mounted to measure acceleration in a principal plane of motion of a lift structure. An angular rate sensor is mounted to measure angular velocity about an axis perpendicular to the principal plane of motion of the lift structure. An electronic control module is configured to use measurements from angular rate and accelerometer sensors to produce a level angle output. The level angle output is used to adjust and control a level angle of the structure to be leveled.
Abstract:
Monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to ANGPTL4 are provided. Monoclonal antibodies that neutralize at least one activity of ANGPTL4 are provided. Methods of treating a disorder of lipid metabolism using neutralizing monoclonal antibodies are provided.
Abstract:
A system for secure information storage and delivery includes a vault repository that includes a secure vault associated with a user, wherein the secure vault is configured to receive at least one data entry. A mobile vault server coupled to the vault repository creates a mobile vault on a mobile device based on the secure vault and is capable of authenticating the mobile device based on user authentication information. The mobile vault server includes a mobile device handler that communicates with the mobile device. A synchronization utility determines whether the at least one data entry on the secure vault is transferable to or storable on the mobile vault. and transfers the data entry from the secure vault to a corresponding data entry on the mobile vault if the at least one data entry on the secure vault is determined to be transferable to or storable on the mobile vault.
