A ball retrieval device that picks up tennis balls from the ground and vertically elevates them into a cart. The ball retrieval device includes an L-shaped frame including a first section and a second section. A feeder system is located on the horizontal section of the L-shaped frame and a paddle wheel system is connected to the feeder system. A lift system is located on the vertical section of the L-shaped frame.
摘要:
A method for preventing and treating a renal disorder in a human or non-human animal is disclosed. The method involves administering 20-HETE or a 20-HETE agonist to the human or non-human animal in an amount sufficient to prevent or treat the renal disorder.

摘要:
A method for preventing and treating a renal disorder in a human or non-human animal is disclosed. The method involves administering 20-HETE or a 20-HETE agonist to the human or non-human animal in an amount sufficient to prevent or treat the renal disorder. Further disclosed is a method for preventing or treating ischemic acute renal failure in particular wherein the method involves administering 20-HETE or a 20-HETE agonist to the human or non-human animal in an amount sufficient to prevent or treat ischemic acute renal failure. A method for preventing or reducing the severity of damage to an ex vivo preserved kidney upon reperfusion is also disclosed. The method involves preserving the kidney ex vivo in a storage solution that contains 20-HETE or a 20-HETE agonist in an amount sufficient to prevent or reduce the severity of damage to the kidney upon reperfusion.
摘要:
Methods for regulating angiogenesis by modulating the activity of 20-HETE are disclosed. Further disclosed are methods of inhibiting cancer and tumor cell growth by exposing the cancer and tumor cells to 20-HETE inhibitors.
摘要:
An internal intramedullary fixation device for the stabilization of bone in arthrodesis and fractures of the foot and hand is disclosed. During implantation in the medullary canal of each bone, the device grasps the edges of the canal, stabilizing the bone (internally) during the natural healing process.
摘要:
A rat model of diabetic nephropathy is disclosed. In another embodiment of the invention, a method of evaluating a test compound's effect of diabetic nephropathy is disclosed. In one embodiment, this method comprises the steps of (a) exposing the test compound to the rat of claim 1, wherein the rat would develop progressive proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis leading to diabetic nephropathy in the absence of the test compound, and (b) comparing the rat's development of diabetic nephropathy with a control T2DN mimic rat that has not been exposed to the test compound.
摘要:
A method and computer-readable medium for applying tonal correction to a binary halftone image formatted in a bit-mapped manner. The binary halftone image is descreened to obtain an individual tonal value for a plurality of pixels representing the binary halftone image. The individual tonal value is compared to a calibrated tonal value to determine a tonal change for each pixel. Based on the tonal change for each pixel, a probability of change is determined for each pixel in a set of pixels out of the plurality of pixels. The probability of change is used to determine which edge pixels undergo a state change (i.e., on to off) to effectuate a desired tonal adjustment of the binary halftone image. Error diffusion may be applied to further distribute the state changes of the edge.
