Abstract: An insert for an arthropod trapping device. The insert comprising a substrate and a frame for supporting the substrate, where a surface of the substrate has an adhesive disposed thereon, an optional mounting bracket spaced apart from the adhesive surface of the insert and located at a first end of the insert, and an optional graspable tab extending from the frame at a second end of the insert.

Abstract: Specific conjugates containing auristatins and a binding protein or peptide, and processes for making them, are described. The conjugates use specific linker technology which gives advantages over known antibody-drug conjugates. Also described are specific conjugates of drugs and a binding protein or peptide in which more than one copy of the drug is present.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for the preparation of an antibody conjugate comprising the step of reacting an engineered antibody having a single inter-heavy chain disulfide bond with a conjugating reagent that forms a bridge between the two cysteine residues derived from the disulfide bond.

Abstract: A transport device has a chassis with a front end and a rear end. The device has a continuous track supporting the chassis above a surface configured to move the chassis along the surface. A handle extends from the front end or rear end of the chassis and has a grip section positioned to be gripped by a user walking ahead of or behind the chassis. A motor is coupled and arranged to drive the continuous track and is operable by a user manipulating the handle. The worktop can be reconfigurable to at least two optional arrangements having different storage or support capabilities. The worktop can also be interchangeable with other different worktops having different storage or support capabilities.

Abstract: A microwave isolator including a driving circuit and a receiving circuit, wherein the driving circuit receives an input signal from a first isolated circuit and generates a corresponding radio frequency (RF) signal and the receiving circuit detects and decodes the corresponding RF signal and provides a corresponding output signal to a second isolated circuit. The driving circuit contains an oscillator for generating the corresponding RF signal based on the input signal from the first isolated circuit, a transmitting antenna for transmitting the corresponding RF signal, and a microwave switch interposed between the oscillation means and the transmitting antenna for switching the RF signal to the antenna. The receiving circuit contains a receiving antenna to receive the corresponding RF signal and means for detecting and decoding the received corresponding RF signal and providing the corresponding output signal to the second isolated circuit.

Abstract: Apparatus for maintaining a vehicle screen (12) supported with respect to a vehicle by a gasket (16, 24), said screen (12) comprising first (22) and second (27) edge regions wherein said gasket (16, 24) has a first conduit (20) means having an opening (21) proximate to said first edge region (22) and second conduit (25) means having an opening (26) proximate to said second edge region (27) and wherein the apparatus further comprises supply apparatus coupled to said first conduit means (20) for supplying a liquid thereto and collection apparatus coupled to said second conduit (25) means for collecting said liquid.

Abstract: An expandable chamber support system for vehicle seat and mattress applications includes an expandable chamber constructed from facing sheets of flexible impermeable material that are sealed along their marginal edges. One of the sheets is formed of electrically conductive an elastomeric membrane that is electrically resistance heated while providing a source of pressure support for an occupant supported by the expandable chamber.

Abstract: An expandable chamber support system for vehicle seat and mattress applications includes an expandable chamber constructed from facing sheets of flexible impermeable material that are sealed along their marginal edges. An upper one of the sheets is formed of electrically conductive elastomeric membrane that is electrically resistance heated while cooperating with a lower one of the sheets to provide pressure support for an occupant supported by the expandable chamber.

Abstract: Electromigration in the source and drain conductors of a semiconductor device is reduced by increasing the cross-sectional areas of these conductors in accordance with an increase in a magnitude of current, thereby enabling the semiconductor device to operate at high temperatures.

Abstract: An improved Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) semiconductor device having a first and second asymmetric transistor, each having a source, a body, a gate, and a drain. The respective gates and drains of the asymmetric transistors are connected together such that a transistor pair is formed which is operable as a single symmetric transistor. An NMOS transistor pair may be connected in parallel with a PMOS transistor pair so as to form a symmetric Pass Gate.
