Abstract: The present invention is related to a combination for treating an EV71 infection, which comprises two or more compounds at each's non-effective level and provides an unexpected synergistic activity against EV71 replication, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of auranofin, ouabain, emetine, niclosamide, and S-(+)-fluoxetine.

Abstract: A video display apparatus includes a base, a video display installed on the base, and a fixing frame for fastening the base on a vehicle roof. The base has an elongated case. The case has a first end portion and an opposite second end portion. The fixing frame is pivotally connected to the first end portion, so the base is rotatable between a first position and a second position with respect to the fixing frame. When the fixing frame is fastened to the vehicle roof, a distance between the vehicle roof and the second end portion at the first position is more than that at the second position. The fixing frame has a mating surface for abutting against the vehicle roof. The area of the cross-section of the first end portion is less than three quarters of the area defined by the outer edge of the mating surface.

Abstract: The ink jet printer for the labelling of goods has a write head, which comprises at least one outlet opening for ink droplets, a printing mechanism connected to said outlet opening, a pneumatic pump and an electrical control. It has at least one supply tank for fluid flowing through the outlet opening. The supply tank is releasably connected to the write head in a coupling area. In the write head, a first pressure sensor is arranged at the compressed-air line, which detects the air pressure in the compressed-air line and outputs an air pressure signal to the controller. A second pressure sensor is arranged at the ink line, which detects the pressure in the ink line and outputs an ink pressure signal to the controller. Said controller outputs a signal “ink empty”, if the ink pressure signal declines by more than 10% in relation to the air pressure signal.

Abstract: A method for visualization and/or administration of medication of and into the sphenopalatine/pterygopalatine recess of a patient is provided. The method includes providing a sphenocath and inserting a guidewire into the nostril of a patient to a target area proximate the sphenopalatine/pterygopalatine recess of the patient.

Abstract: A merchant management system aims to make product sales by multiple merchants more efficient so that the resulting savings can be passed down to consumers. Specifically, the merchant management system evaluates discounts that the consumer may be eligible for (e.g., being within a certain shipping distance, buying multiple units, or waiving the ability to return the item) in order to present the consumer with the lowest price available. Additionally, the merchant management system may price a product in light of other products and pass down any savings that result from purchasing multiple products from the same merchant (e.g., reduced shipping costs for shipping multiple products in the same box).
