Abstract:
An isolation circuit includes a low dropout operational current control loop and a shunt regulator. The current control loop is configured to drive the shunt regulator to result in a high dynamic impedance ratio between a voltage source and a load. The current control loop may include a series-pass transistor, a current sensing resistor, and a high side current sensor.
Abstract:
A plant variety of the Campanulaceae family, having the varietal designation ‘Thor Heaven’, with a spreading growth habit and large campanulate, actinomrphic flowers. Leaves are alternate and whorled and fairly small with serrate edges and winged stipules. Mature leaves look like arrowheads. The mature perianth tube is R.H.S. 91 C,D to 92 C (violet-blue group), with dark spots of R.H.S. 71 A (red-purple group) on the tips of the lobes of the perianth.

Abstract:
A method of treating inflammation in patients in need of such treatment by administering an effective amount of I-A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-II (General Formula), wherein A is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr or absent, B is Ala, Gly, Val, Ser, Thr, or absent, C is Ser, Thr or absent, D is Ser, Thr, Asn, Glu, Arg, Ile, Leu or absent, E is Ser, Thr, Asp or absent, F is Ser, Thr, Asp or absent, G is Tyr or absent, H is Thr, Arg, Gly, Met, Met(O), Cys, Thr, Gly or absent and I is Cys or absent II is Cys, an amide group, an ester group or absent. At least one of the amino acids optionally is substituted by a monomeric or polymeric carbohydrate or derivative thereof, such substitution being accomplished through hydroxyl and/or amino acid and/or amido groups of the amino acids, and wherein the peptide composes at least 4 amino acid residues, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract:
Ampoule-packed reference liquids for electrochemical measuring instruments, especially blood measuring instruments, are transferred from the ampoule to the measuring instrument pneumatically by providing a discharge conduit from the liquid in the ampoule, and providing, at the surface of the liquid in the ampoule, an elevated pressure so as to discharge liquid from the ampoule through the said conduit, and introducing the liquid in the measuring instrument. This pneumatic way of transfer is shown to give less distortion of the data of the reference liquid and to be less operator-dependent than the known methods. Invention also concerns a dispenser for performing the method, typically comprising an adaptor for receiving an opened ampoule and a pump for establishing the elevated pressure.
