Publication number: 20240142437Abstract: Presented are methods of assessing the teratogenicity of agents by measuring the degradation of SALL4, and related compounds with reduced teratogenicity. Provided herein is a method for assessing the teratogenicity of an agent comprising: contacting an agent with SALL4; and measuring levels of SALL4, wherein the agent is teratogenic if SALL4 levels are substantially reduced in the presence of the agent relative to in the absence of the agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE, INC.Inventors: Eric S.

Publication number: 20220361371Abstract: An electronics cabinet cooling system may include multiple cabinet heat exchangers mounted at an air discharge of respective different electronic cabinets. Heat from a flow of air heated by electronic components in the electronic cabinets may be received by respective cabinet heat exchangers. A liquid refrigerant flowing through the heat exchangers in parallel may be at least partially changed from liquid to gas and absorb the heat from the flow of air. A three-way tee in a common outlet header downstream from the cabinet heat exchangers may direct the gas refrigerant to a condenser and the liquid refrigerant to a receiver. The condenser may condense the gas refrigerant to liquid refrigerant, which may be routed to the receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Rolls-Royce North American Technologies Inc.Inventors: Timothy Unton, Eric Donovan

Patent number: 10227896Abstract: Systems and methods for suppressing infrared radiation generated by a turbine engine. A system comprises a primary assembly having a center body, a plurality of vanes extending from the center body, an outer radial duct with the plurality of vanes extending therethrough, a structural baffle, and a mixer. The primary assembly is disposed in the exhaust flow path of a turbine engine and encased in ducting and/or an airfoil. An air flow path defined between the center body and outer radial duct is axially spit by an interface rim and flow segregator. The flow segregator segregates engine core flow from ambient air flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignees: ROLLS-ROYCE CORPORATION, ROLLS-ROYCE NORTH AMERICAN TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: James C.
