Abstract: A programmable electronic time harmonic therapeutic and research device used in stimulating living human and other living tissue. This invention consists of a portable, electronic apparatus, multiple types of stimulus delivery, multiple methods of stimulus delivery, electromagnetic, electric and other manner of emitters, and multiple emitter housing apparatus. Electric and electromagnetic and other manner of stimulation may be used in a complex of ways for therapeutic and research purposes. Conditioning and learning methods, principles and techniques, are incorporated into settings for tissue stimulation sessions for the re-conditioning and re-learning of conditioned and maladaptive responses. This invention is, in part, designed for the entrainment of neurons as a part of the therapeutic effect. The size and portability of this device makes it suitable for patient and enthusiast home use, as well as practitioner office, and research facility.

Abstract: The invention is the identification of double stranded RNA nematcides to nematode genes and a screening assay for the identification of agents, typically dsRNA's, with nematicidal activity

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved diving fishing lure having a more durable and stable design that is capable of assisting today's fishermen as they target fish at increasingly greater depths and at faster trolling or retrieval speeds. The fishing lure includes a lure body having first and second ends, at least one fish hook extending from the lure body, and a diving lip extending from the first end of the lure body. According to one embodiment, the fishing lure includes a connector mounted to the diving lip, wherein the diving lip defines a recessed surface at least partially around the connector having a sidewall with a radius of approximately 0.30 inches to approximately 0.40 inches.

Abstract: A fuel control system for a gas turbine engine is disclosed that includes a flow path carrying fuel from a fuel source to a combustion chamber, an ecology valve 124 for removing a quantity of fuel from the flow path, the ecology valve 124 being shiftable in a first direction from a first position to a second position and in a second direction from said second position to said first position and a fuel line 115 connected between the flow path and the ecology valve 124 for moving fuel between the flow path and the ecology valve 124 to bias the ecology valve 124 toward the second position, where the fuel line 115 is configured, such as by the inclusion of an orificed check valve 150 therein, to allow fuel to move therethrough away from the ecology valve 124 at a greater rate than toward the ecology valve 124.

Abstract: A firearm cartridge has a case configured with a relatively straight-walled portion and a shoulder portion for housing a quantity of propellant. The case further includes a neck for retaining a bullet. The straight-walled portion defines a base cavity having an interior base diameter. The interior base diameter is approximately twice or more the neck diameter. The diameter ratios of the base and neck optimize combustion efficiency to reduce heat and acceleration losses.

Abstract: In general, the invention features proteins having covalently bonded C-terminal puromycin tags and methods for their production.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for generating a 5′-nucleic acid-protein conjugate, the method involving: (a) providing a nucleic acid which carries a reactive group at its 5′ end; (b) providing a non-derivatized protein; and (c) contacting the nucleic acid and the protein under conditions which allow the reactive group to react with the N-terminus of the protein, thereby forming a 5′-nucleic acid-protein conjugate. Also disclosed herein are 5′-nucleic acid-protein conjugates and methods for their use.
