摘要:
The present invention relates generally to compounds which modulate cytokine-dependent processes. More particularly, the compounds of the present invention modulate responses to a colony stimulating factor and even more particularly to granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) by modulating the levels of molecules which inhibit G-CSF such as but not limited to a suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) and in particular SOCS-3. The present invention further contemplates methods for regulating G-CSF-dependent processes by contacting cells in vitro with or administering to a subject a compound which up- or down-regulates the level of activity of G-CSF by modulating the level or activity of a SOCS molecule such as SOCS-3. The instant compounds are further useful for modulating a range of G-CSF-induced cellular responses including neutrophil recovery after chemotherapy or radiotherapy, mobilizing stem and progenitor cells, treating infection and treating inflammatory conditions.

A system and method for providing an enhanced facility plan includes receiving an asset list, electronic documents relating to one or more assets and an input image file for providing a visual representation of a facility plan including assets in the facility. The image file is scanned to automatically identify one or more asset tags having a corresponding asset tag entry in the asset list and for each identified asset tag, a position on the facility plan associated with the asset tag. A modified visual representation of the facility plan is provided as the enhanced facility plan, the modified visual representation including one or more added objects, each object having a relationship with an identified asset tag and having a location determined by the position associated with the related asset tag, wherein each object is selectable by a user to enable access to one or more of the electronic documents. The method may provide a convenient way of handing over information after construction of a facility.

Pad for the ball regions of a human foot adapted to be placed in a shoe beneath a foot of a wearer of the shoe having a dimension in the heel to toe direction (X axis), a dimension in the outside to inside direction (Y axis) and a dimension in the down to up direction (Z axis) and comprising a front side surface and a back side surface, wherein the pad comprises at least two different zones, at least one first zone located on the X axis towards the toe direction and adapted for the support of the ball regions relating to at least three adjacent toes, in particular to all five toes of a human foot, and at least one adjacent second zone located on the X axis towards the heel direction, wherein the first zone has an average thickness greater than that of the second zone, wherein the second zone is tapered in the Z dimension in a toe to heel direction, wherein the front side surface of the first zone exhibits a pattern of protruding elements adapted for the massaging of the foot of the wearer, and wherein the first and second zones are comprising an elastomeric material.
摘要:
Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies, that specifically bind to human tumor necrosis factor α (hTNFα) are disclosed. These antibodies have high affinity for hTNFα (e.g., Kd=10−8 M or less), a slow off rate for hTNFα dissociation (e.g., Koff=10−3 sec−1 or less) and neutralize hTNFα activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hTNFα and for inhibiting hTNFα activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hTNFα activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant human antibodies of the invention, and methods of synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies, are also encompassed by the invention.

摘要:
In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a semiconductor package includes forming a first plurality of die openings on a laminate substrate. The laminate substrate has a front side and an opposite back side. A plurality of first dies is placed within the first plurality of die openings. An integrated spacer is formed around each die of the plurality of first dies. The integrated spacer is disposed in gaps between the laminate substrate and an outer sidewall of each die of the plurality of first dies. The integrated spacer holds the die within the laminate substrate by partially extending over a portion of a top surface of each die of the plurality of first dies. Front side contacts are formed over the front side of the laminate substrate.

摘要:
A tactile computer input device which simulates an object being designed is used with a computer aided design (CAD) system. The input device allows a user to manually manipulate the input device as if it were the object under design. A preferred embodiment is directed toward the design of sheet metal parts. The design begins with a virtual metal sheet which is then manipulated by a user through manual manipulation of the input device. Bending of the virtual object is accomplished by bending of the input device. Stretching and shrinking of the virtual object is accomplished by expanding and compressing the input device. Spatial orientation of the virtual object follows the spatial orientation of the input device by providing the input device with a Polhemus orientation sensor. Other functions for manipulating the virtual sheet metal object include cutting, embossing, and punching.
