Abstract: Polymer composite materials are disclosed containing one or more chemical scavengers. The polymer composites are porous and are configured to be contacted with a liquid for removing trace amounts of metals, proteins, polypeptides, polyphenols, other organic compounds, and the like. In order to produce the porous composite polymer product, one or more chemical scavengers are combined with high density polyethylene particles and sintered into a shape. The polyethylene resin acts as a binder trapping or encasing the one or more chemical scavengers in the porous structure.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of immunotherapy of Alzheimer's and similar diseases in which the regime administered to a patient depends on the ApoE genotype of the patient.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of immunotherapy of Alzheimer's and similar diseases in which the regime administered is monitored by measuring levels of tau.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of monitoring A?-directed immunotherapy. The methods involve administering a PET ligand that binds to amyloid deposits and detecting the PET ligand in the brain to provide an indication of the level and/or distribution of amyloid deposits. Surprisingly, the data in the present application show that a statistically significant reduction in amyloid deposits occurs early and consistently among patients following initiation of treatment before statistically significant effects of most if not all other markers are detectable. In consequence, the present methods allow early detection of whether a patient is responding to the A?-directed immunotherapy and if necessary adjustment of the immunotherapy regime.

Abstract: A track for a tracked vehicle, consisting of a track substrate. Terrain lugs are distributed about the circumference the track substrate on its outer surface. Drive profiles, each consisting of at least one drive lug arranged across the width of the track substrate, are distributed about the circumference of the track substrate on its inner surface. The drive profiles may consist of at least two drive lugs spaced apart across the width of the track substrate. Projections are distributed on the inner surface of the track substrate, arranged so as to engage a wheel in a track system that includes the track. The projections are disposed circumferentially between two drive profiles, and may also be disposed laterally between two drive lugs. The projections have a height such that the noise generated when the track moves in a track system is less than the noise generated when a track without such projections moves in a track system. A noise reduction of at least 6 to 8 dB is achievable.

Abstract: Radio frequency tags having RFID elements are located in or on items situated in a given area of interest, and an antenna is automatically and virtually continuously moved around the proximity of the items to interrogate the presence of the items. When the RFID tags are interrogated by an RFID interrogation source, that source is then quickly able to gain information as to the presence or absence of the item, and the identity of the item, for comparison to a database. Thus, inventory can be conducted continuously, which is particularly useful in the sale of high priced items, (e.g., jewelry, automobiles) or voluminous items (e.g., library or apparel articles). The antenna assembly is automatically moved throughout all of the given area of interest, thereby a group of items may be read or scanned quickly in one operation using the mobile antenna. This enables a user to conduct continuous, unattended tracking and inventory of items.
