摘要:
The present invention provides isolated or synthetic peptides derived from the d subunit of mammalian F1Fo ATP synthase (dF1Fo) protein for the purposes of tissue protection and improved energy production following acute injury from ischemia/reperfusion or other toxic insults, or in chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer. The major focus of the patent protection will be 2 peptides comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 75% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2 and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. However, additional peptide sequences within the dF1Fo protein may also have efficacies in these disease states and therefore all peptides shown in the Figures of this application (combined with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-Tat protein transduction, cytochrome oxidase subunit IV (COIV) mitochondrial targeting and Flag domains) are included for their efficacies in these conditions.

摘要:
A machine learning system creates failure-susceptibility rankings for feeder cables in a utility's electrical distribution system. The machine learning system employs martingale boosting algorithms and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms to generate a feeder failure prediction model, which is trained on static and dynamic feeder attribute data. Feeders are dynamically ranked by failure susceptibility and the rankings displayed to utility operators and engineers so that they can proactively service the distribution system to prevent local power outages. The feeder rankings may be used to redirect power flows and to prioritize repairs. A feedback loop is established to evaluate the responses of the electrical distribution system to field actions taken to optimize preventive maintenance programs.
摘要:
The opposite plastic walls 20a and 20b can be made from a polymeric resin material such as thermoplastic or thermoset resin, and/or can be made from olefins, styrenes, nylons, or mixtures of these polymeric families. In one aspect, the opposite plastic walls can be formed from an olefin, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or the like. In another aspect, the opposite plastic walls can be formed from a styrene, such as acrylonitrile or butadiene styrene, or the like. In still another aspect, the opposite plastic walls can be formed from a mixture of olefins and styrenes. The polymeric resin material can also be made from recycled olefin, styrene, or nylon products. It will also be appreciated that the material of the walls can include additives, such as glass, fiber, talc, UV resistive or protective materials, etc. In one aspect, plastic granules of different colors can be combined to obtain a wall color that is a composite color to more readily simulate another material.
摘要:
Computers that exchange data over communication networks frequently wait for responses to messages and therefor use timers to control the amount of time that the computer will wait for a response to a command issued over a network. Communication network responsiveness varies as traffic loading on the network changes. Fixed-value timers that don't take network loading into account can inadvertently terminate communications if a response is not timely received. Varying or adjusting data communication timers according to data network responsiveness can prevent erroneous data communication session termination.
摘要:
An apparatus for the concurrent inspection of partially completed welds is described in which is utilized in combination with a moveable welder for forming a partially completed weld, and an ultrasonic generator mounted on a moveable welder in which is reciprocally moveable along a path of travel which is laterally disposed relative to the partially completed weld.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for measuring the thickness of a coating adhered to a substrate. An electromagnetic acoustic transducer is used to induce surface waves into the coating. The surface waves have a selected frequency and a fixed wavelength. Interpolation is used to determine the frequency of surface waves that propagate through the coating with the least attenuation. The phase velocity of the surface waves having this frequency is then calculated. The phase velocity is compared to known phase velocity/thickness tables to determine the thickness of the coating.
摘要:
A ribbonizing apparatus and method for forming a fiber band from a plurality of fiber tows extending along respective fiber tow pathways. The ribbonizing apparatus includes an assembly for selectively heating at least a respective one of the plurality of fiber tows as the fiber tow extends along the fiber pathways. When not needed, the heat is removed from the fiber tow. A plurality of embodiments for accomplishing the method are contemplated.
摘要:
A portable coupler which can detachably fit into opposing corner fittings of adjacent freight containers for joining the containers into an integral unit is disclosed. The coupler includes a unitary tension spindle member shaped at each end to fit into and latch onto a standard container corner fitting. In use, one end of the spindle is fitted into an end opening of the corner fitting of a first container and the spindle is then moved longitudinally to engage and hook into the opening of an opposed end corner fitting of an adjacent container. A pair of bearing rings are fitted about the spindle, each formed with a bearing face to bear against the external face of an opposed container corner fitting. Both bearing rings are engaged to a common outer collar ring that may be manually rotated to separate the bearing rings and simultaneously provide a compression force between the corner fittings of the joined containers and a tension force in the spindle member hooked into both containers. Latch members are slidably mounted on the spindle member with each linked to an opposed bearing ring. Each latch member is engaged into a container corner fitting opening, preventing detachment of the spindle member for the corner fitting in the extended mode.
摘要:
A fabricated knock-down merchandise display fixture which includes telescopic, extendible and retractable standard sections for increasing and decreasing the height of the fixture, and including a two piece gravity actuated latch unit mounted on the standards for holding the extendible standard section in selected position. The latch unit is automatically deactivated to permit ready extension of the extendible standard section by merely lifting up on the extendible section to increase the height of the fixture standard and upon release of the extendible section from upward movement, the latch unit is automatically reactivated to hold the extendible section of the standard in its newly extended position. Abutment structure is provided on the standards for limiting the telescopic movement thereof and for guiding the lengthwise movement of the extendible section. The novel features of the fixture are adapted for use with a considerable variety of different fixture arrangements for use in displaying products, with the display fixtures being readily assembled and disassembled using unskilled labor and a minimum of tools, time and effort.
