摘要:
A novel cigarette adapted for use in an electrical cigarette system comprising a tobacco rod having filled and unfilled tobacco rod portions and being arranged so that electrical heater elements may overlap the filled and unfilled tobacco rod portions. The tobacco rod includes a tobacco web rolled into tubular form. The tobacco web is constructed in accordance with a novel process comprising the steps of converting tobacco feedstock into a continuous sheet of tobacco web and converting the continuous sheet of tobacco web into one or more bobbins of tobacco web suitable for automated manufacture of cigarettes.

摘要:
A vehicle coolant flow and coolant quality sensor assembly for use in an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or an electric vehicle. The coolant flow sensor includes a dual coil magnetic flow meter or the like for measuring coolant flow rate and the coolant quality sensor includes a sealed hot wire anemometer or the like and an integrated temperature sensor or the like for measuring coolant quality (e.g., ability to absorb heat) and coolant temperature, respectively. The various sensors are disposed in an integrated housing through which coolant is transported.

A system and method for communicating includes a plurality of wireless nodes forming a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) mesh network. Each wireless node includes a transmitter and receiver and is operative for transmitting data packets across the TDMA mesh network from a source node through intermediate nodes to a destination node using a TDMA epoch such that a slot of channel time is allocated in both time and TDMA epoch prior to a wireless node transmitting the data packet.

Disclosed in a process for making (1) a compound of the formula NC—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—CO2R′, wherein R′ is H or C1 to C12 alkyl, or (2) adipic acid or (3) dimethyl adipate, using as the substrate, 3-pentenenitrile, (2) 3-pentenoic acid or methyl 3-pentenoate, respectively, by contacting the substrate with carbon monoxide and a nucleophile in the presence of a Group VIII metal, a selected ligand, and an acid promoter. The nucleophile, which (a) an alcohol or water, or (b) water or (c) methanol, respectively, in the presence of a Group VIII metal, preferably palladium, a selected phosphine ligand, and an acid promoter.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for inducing immune suppression are disclosed. The methods involve administering an effective amount of an agent that inhibits MD-1 with or without an OX-2 protein or a nucleic acid encoding an OX-2 protein. The methods are useful in preventing graft rejection, fetal loss, autoimmune disease, and allergies. Methods and compositions for preventing immune suppression are also disclosed. The methods involve administering an effective amount of MD-1 or an agent that activates or stimulates MD-1.
