摘要:
A tonneau cover lift; the tonneau cover lift includes a height-adjustable, lightweight tonneau cover assembly including a cover member and a rectangular frame supported by four telescoping, hydraulic support posts including a first-telescopic-leg, a second-telescopic-leg, a third-telescopic-leg, and a fourth-telescopic-leg. The cover member is sized and configured to cover a bed of a truck and may be remotely controlled using a remote activation unit. The tonneau cover lift expands a protected cargo capacity of a truck.

摘要:
A method of making nanostructures using a self-assembled monolayer of organic spheres is disclosed. The nanostructures include bowl-shaped structures and patterned elongated nanostructures. A bowl-shaped nanostructure with a nanorod grown from a conductive substrate through the bowl-shaped nanostructure may be configured as a field emitter or a vertical field effect transistor. A method of separating nanoparticles of a desired size employs an array of bowl-shaped structures.
摘要:
Applicants have used microarrays, gene expression profiling, and gene silencing methods to identify and provide a plurality of ‘validated’ virus-induced cellular gene sequences (e.g., HMG20B, HRH1, NP and c-YES (src family kinases)) and pathways useful as therapeutic targets for modulation of viral-mediated cellular effects. Particular embodiments provide therapeutic compositions, and methods for modulation of viral infection, replication, maturation, progression, or other virally-related conditions or diseases, comprising inhibition of virally-induced gene sequences and gene products. Additional embodiments provide screening assays for compounds useful to modulate viral infection, replication, maturation or progression, or viral-related conditions or diseases. Further embodiments provide diagnostic and/or prognostic assays for viral infection, replication, maturation or progression. Preferably, the viruses all selected from the group consisting of retroviruses (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and viruses of the family Flaviviridae that includes the flaviviruses (e.g., West Nile virus (WNV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), yellow fever virus (YFV) and Dengue fever virus (DEN)), and hepatitis C virus (HCV).
摘要:
The present invention uses gene expression profiling, and gene silencing methods to identify and provide a plurality of ‘validated’ KSHV-induced cellular gene sequences and pathways useful as targets for modulation of KSHV-mediated effects on cellular proliferation and phenotype (e.g., cancer) associated with latent and lytic phases of the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; Human herpesvirus 8; HHV8) life cycle. Particular embodiments provide therapeutic compositions, and methods for modulation of KSHV infection or KSHV-mediated effects on cellular proliferation and phenotype, comprising inhibition of KSHV-induced gene sequences. Additional embodiments provide screening assays for compounds useful to modulate KSHV infection or KSHV-mediated effects on cellular proliferation and phenotype. Further embodiments provide diagnostic and/or prognostic assays for KSHV infection.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for administering a protected item. An anti-theft key encoded with a radio frequency identification of the user and biometric data of the user is provided. The anti-theft key is associated with the protected item such that the protected item is accessible with the anti-theft key.

摘要:
A fluid compensator is provided in a hydraulic control unit of vehicular brake system. The fluid compensator permits additional displacement of a master cylinder piston during anti-lock braking events only by storing fluid in the hydraulic control unit. The additional displacement moves a seal mounted on the master cylinder piston away from a compensator port orifice, thereby preventing repeated “nibbling” of the seal which can cause premature seal failure.
摘要:
A non-woven needle-punched filter fabric for use in a geocomposite having a filter face and a laminating face, the fabric having a first filter and cushion zone adjacent the filter face produced from spun bond, continuous filament, a second stiff and bend resistant zone adjacent the first zone produced from a blend of staple non-fusible fiber and staple fusible fiber, and a third zone at the laminating face produced from fiber from both the first and second zones whereby the third zone has a hairy characteristic which facilitates laminating the fabric to a drainage net or a geogrid.
