Abstract:
FIG. 1 is a top, front, right side perspective view of a metal holder for garden sculpture, showing my new design; FIG. 2 is a bottom, left side perspective view thereof; FIG. 3 is a front elevational view thereof; FIG. 4 is a back elevational view thereof; FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof; FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view thereof; FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof; and, FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof. The broken lines are for the purpose of illustrating portions of the metal holder for garden sculpture in a use environment and form no part of the claimed design.
Abstract:
A cutter includes a blade, a handle, a holder, a pivot and a pin. The blade includes an aperture and a slit. The handle includes two lateral plates each of which includes an aperture and a recess. The holder includes a block formed between two lateral plates. The block is inserted in the slit when the blade is inserted in the holder. Each of the lateral plates of the holder includes a rear aperture and a front aperture. The pivot is selectively inserted in the apertures of the handle, the front apertures of the holder and the aperture of the blade to keep the holder in the handle. The pin is selectively inserted in the recesses of the handle and the rear apertures of the holder to keep the holder in a desired angle relative to the handle.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of purifying human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 proteins with high purity and high efficiency. According to the purification method, a purification purity and yield of HPV L1 proteins can be considerably increased when heating/chilling is formed by treating a cell homogenate with a reducing agent. In addition, VLPs of the HPV L1 protein purified by the purification method have excellent antigenicity and immunogenicity.
Abstract:
A cutter includes two handles, a blade, a cutting board, an angle holder, two screws, a spring-biased lock and a releasing element. The cutting board is supported on the first handle. The blade is connected to the second handle. The angle holder includes teeth and a cutout. The angle holder is attached to the first handle by the screws. The releasing element is pivotally connected to the first handle and includes a slot. The spring-biased lock is pivotally connected to the first handle. The spring-biased lock is allowed to engage with the teeth or enter the cutout when an end of the slot is placed against one of the screws. The spring-biased lock is removed from the teeth and the cutout when another end of the slot is placed against the screw.

Abstract:
A disease management system and method that use a wired and wireless communication network, in which motivation and consistent encouragement to change a behavior of a user or a patient may be given by close acquaintances or other people who have knowledge about a corresponding disease, instead of an expert. Thus, with regard to disease management that consistently needs normal and frequent communication, a role of an expert may be minimized to a necessary degree, and a more effective and efficient health care service, compared to a conventional health care service, may be provided.
Abstract:
The present invention encompasses methods of producing influenza B viruses in cell culture. The influenza B viruses may have desirable characteristics, such as enhanced replication in eggs and may be used, for example, in vaccines and in methods of treatment to protect against influenza B virus infection.
Abstract:
A pad conditioning disk, a pre-conditioning unit, and a CMP apparatus having the same are provided. The pad conditioning disk includes a base in which mountain-type tips and valley-type grooves are repeatedly connected to each other, and a cutting layer formed on the base layer. The cutting layer including conditioning particles deposited on surfaces of the tips and grooves. A surfaces roughness of conditioning particles deposited on the surfaces of the tips is less than a surface roughness of conditioning particles deposited on the surfaces of the grooves.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an evaporative desalination device of multi-stage and multi-effect using solar heat constructed in multi stage and multi effect as a desalination device that is capable of not only increasing fresh water output but also resolving a problem of conventional desalination device having series structure as well, through constructing: a multi stage vapor generator that generates vapor by passing a hot water supply pipe successively through a plurality of vapor generators to evaporate sea water inside thereof; a multi effect vapor generator that uses vapor in the respective vapor generators as heat source and forms a plurality of evaporator groups; and a discharge unit that condenses vapor in the multi effect generator by sea water to discharge fresh water in liquid state, and returns and supplies portions of discharged sea water to the multi stage vapor generator and the multi effect evaporator.
Abstract:
Vectors and methods for the production of influenza viruses suitable as recombinant influenza vaccines in cell culture are provided. Bi-directional expression vectors for use in a multi-plasmid influenza virus expression system are provided. Additionally, the invention provides methods of producing influenza viruses with enhanced ability to replicate in embryonated chicken eggs and/or cells (e.g., Vero and/or MDCK) and further provides influenza viruses with enhanced replication characteristics.
