摘要:
A reciprocating fluid-energy device to be used in a flowing fluid, having a foil, an upstream support member, a downstream support member, and a frame, where the frame retains the device in place within the flowing fluid, the support members movably attach the foil to the frame, and the foil moves laterally back and forth across the direction of the flow of the fluid, with changes in direction of the movement of the foil occurring automatically and spontaneously without external intervention other than the force of the flowing fluid.
摘要:
A storage system comprising a plurality of shelf units movable together through a circuit attached to and moved by a flexible drive such as a chain or belt, while being guided and stabilized in orientation by a separate guide track which track followers, retained by each shelf unit, move to maintain a selected orientation of the shelves within a system support or enclosure. Each shelf unit is removable by the user from engagement of the drive and from the system enclosure permitting replacement of the shelves within the storage system without system disassembly.
摘要:
Methods for producing engineered induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are provided comprising introducing a first nucleic acid into somatic cells for integration into their genome and reprogramming the cells to produce engineered iPS cells having the nucleic acid integrated into their genome. For example, in certain aspects the cells are reprogrammed by introduction of a genetic element that expresses one or more reprogramming factor and culturing of the cells under conditions sufficient to produce reprogrammed cells.
摘要:
An articulate railroad grade crossing assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the crossing assembly has an adjustable reach so that it can be adjusted to completely or partially close roadways of various sizes. In another preferred embodiment, the assembly includes one or more sensors for detecting the presence of people and/or objects in the crossing area so that the assembly can automatically respond to such presence.

摘要:
A "navigation protocol" is implemented via a computer program to provide communication and invocation capability among object-oriented application programs and precompiled library routines, collectively referred to as `programs`. Each application program is "registered" with the operating environment during its installation; registration entails updating a registration-table data structure with information about 1) a program identifier; 2) an object-type identifier identifying a class of objects; and 3) an action identifier, e.g., a menu entry, identifying an action which the program can perform on objects of the class specified by the object-type identifier. A user can manipulate an object by selecting the object and requesting that a list of all actions performable on the object be displayed, then selecting one of the displayed possible actions. The displayed actions are actually performed by programs as specified in the registration table; the user need not be concerned with knowing which program to invoke. Programs from a variety of different vendors can interact without any one program needing to know about any other program. This modularity uncouples the development process of the user's system from that of the organizations providing the individual development tools and allows the user to upgrade individual programs as desired.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel methods of the quantitative detection of molecules in an array. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for molecular detection assays performed on solid surfaces. The present invention provides improved methods for the high throughput analysis of molecular interactions and quantitative detection. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method of measuring protein interactions on a solid surface that is useful for the determination of equilibrium binding and rate constants. In yet another aspect, the invention relates to predicting a molecules utility in a detection assay.

摘要:
An overswing alerting mechanism/swing monitoring device that a user can wear, for example on the wrist, hand or arm, that can determine swing formation, and that can display and/or store the determined swing information. As an option, the device includes a visual and/or audible indicator for alerting the user to an improper swinging motion.
摘要:
A golf overswing alerting mechanism is provided which produces a visual and/or audible indicator for the purpose of alerting a golfer to an improper swinging movement of a golf club. The overswing alerting mechanism is housed entirely within the hollow opening of the golf club shaft or is accommodated in a housing that is detachably affixed to the golf club. In a preferred configuration, the alerting mechanism includes a sound generation assembly for generating an audible sound upon occurrence of the overswing condition; an energy generation member to provide electrical energy to the sound generation assembly, and a circuit closing member or accelerometer(s) detecting the occurrence of an overswing condition. The preferred mechanism further includes an LCD readout provided in the grip butt of the golf club grip which indicates to the golfer the speed of the golf club shaft.
