摘要:
The present invention contemplates a multimeric polypeptide capable of mimicking the ability of apo E to induce differentiated cellular function. The repeating unit of the polypeptide has an amino acid residue sequence corresponding to that represented by the formula LRXLRKRLLX. Also contemplated is a method for treating hypercholesterolemia in a patient, which method comprises administering to the patient an LDL plasma concentration-reducing amount of the polypeptide. Described as well, is the use of the polypeptide in preparing diagnostic antibodies, and their use in diagnostic systems and methods for detecting apo E antigens in vascular body fluids.

A fluid sample display for displaying actual vehicle fluid samples alongside comparisons of exemplary fluids has a tray with dimples to receive the fluid samples. The dimples are coverable by a movable cover. The tray can have an indicia panel for removably receiving indicia indicative of a vehicle and/or vehicle owner.

A method is disclosed for replacing grease in a main bearing of a wind turbine, the main bearing located in a housing and the housing having least one cover plate. the bearing cover plate is removed from the housing, grease is manually removed from the main bearing, and a flushing cover is installed on the housing in place of the bearing cover plate. The flushing cover has at least two parts, the parts fitting around the main shaft, and each part having a seal so that when its attached to the bearing housing, the flushing cover forms a seal with the main shaft. The flushing cover has holes allowing access to the main bearing, and a solvent or oil is sprayed via one of the holes onto the main bearing to remove grease, the remaining holes being sealed by a removable plug. Solvent or oil is pumped out of the housing via a port at the bottom of the housing or flushing cover. The process is repeated for each hole, and the flushing cover removed, the main bearing packed with grease, and the bearing cover plate re-affixed. The spraying step involves pumping solvent or oil from a reservoir to the spray nozzle, and the step of pumping solvent or oil out of the bearing housing involves pumping solvent or oil to the reservoir via a return hose. This means that the solvent or oil is recycled during the replacing of the grease. An apparatus for flushing grease from a main bearing of a wind turbine is also described.
摘要:
A burner (1) for a gas turbine includes a duct (2) enclosing a plurality of vortex generators (3) and, downstream of them, a lance (5) provided with nozzles (6) for injecting a gaseous fuel. The burner (1) also includes a mixer (7) for diluting and mixing the gaseous fuel with air to form a mixture. The mixer (7) is connected to the nozzles (6) for feeding them with the mixture. A method includes feeding the gaseous fuel in the burner (1).
摘要:
Systems and methods for identifying, tracking, tracing and determining the authenticity of a good include an imaging system, a database, and an authentication center. The imaging system is configured to capture an image of a unique signature associated with a good. The unique signature can be, for example, a random structure or pattern unique to the particular good. The imaging system is configured to process the image to identify at least one metric that distinguishes the unique signature from unique signatures of other goods. The database is configured to receive information related to the good and its unique signature from the imaging system, and to store the information therein. The authentication center is configured to analyze the field image with respect to the information stored in the database to determine whether the unique signature in the field image is a match to the captured image stored in the database.
