Abstract:
A bracket is disclosed for use in open bottom type cabinets, such as file cabinets, which enables caster assemblies and the like to be secured thereto. The bracket is configured to be secured in the corners of an open bottom cabinet. In accordance with the present invention, the bracket provides stiffening of the cabinet as well as a secure surface for securing caster assemblies thereto. The brackets are simply mounted to the corners of the cabinet utilizing, for example, a pair of fasteners.

Abstract:
The invention features a hybridized polynucleotide construct including a passenger strand, a guide strand loadable into a RISC complex, and one or more auxiliary moieties. At least one of the auxiliary moieties is non-bioreversibly linked to an internucleoside phosphate or phosphorothioate in the passenger strand. The invention further features methods of delivery a polynucleotide construct to a cell and methods of reducing the expression of a protein in a cell. The methods typically involve contacting the cell with the hybridized polynucleotide construct.
Abstract:
The invention features a hybridized polynucleotide construct containing a passenger strand, a guide strand loadable into a RISC complex, and (i) a 3′-terminal or an internucleotide non-bioreversible group in the guide strand; or (ii) a 5′-terminal, a 3′-terminal, or an internucleotide non-bioreversible group in the passenger strand, and a 5′-terminal, a 3′-terminal, or an internucleotide disulfide bioreversible group in the guide strand or the passenger strand. The invention also features methods of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell using the hybridized polynucleotide construct. The invention further features methods of reducing the expression of a polypeptide in a cell using the hybridized polynucleotide construct.
Abstract:
Compounds of Formula I, wherein R1—R8 are defined herein are provided, together with pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, metabolites, and/or prodrugs thereof. Uses of these compounds for inhibiting beta amyloid production and for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and Down's syndrome are also described.
Abstract:
A modulator has an FET output driver for applying repetitive pulses to an inductive load. A predriver comprises a resistor and capacitor in parallel across the FET source and gate for shaping the control voltage. A constant current source, turned on and off by an input signal, couples the shaping circuit to ground. The resistor and capacitor values determine the rate of control voltage change which is the same for turn-on and turn-off, to control the driver current slew rate for minimizing RFI emissions.
