Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising the OspA fusion protein of SEQ ID NO: 1 (LipSID1-S2D1), the OspA fusion protein of SEQ ID NO: 2 (Lip-S4D1-SShybD1) and the OspA fusion protein of SEQ ID NO: 3 (Lip-S5D1-S6D1) for use in a vaccine or for use in a method for eliciting an immune response in a human against Lyme disease.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing functional extensions on a landing page of a creative. The method includes identifying, by a data processing system, a creative for serving on a computing device. The creative can be associated with a network address of a landing page. The method also includes generating, by the data processing system, an actionable object, such as a functional extension, to be rendered with content of the landing page and providing, by the data processing system, the actionable object to be rendered with the content of the landing page responsive to an action taken on the creative when served on the computing device. Examples of functional extensions include click-to-call extensions and directions extensions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing hydrocarbons to a direct reduction shaft furnace while controlling the temperature uniformity of the center portion of the iron burden wherein the hydrocarbon gases used in direct reduction may be preheated, which increases the temperature of the hydrocarbon gases, and therefore increases the resultant temperature of the upflowing gases as it rises from the lower section of the furnace into the center of the burden. Alternatively, a portion of the upflowing gas may be removed before it enters the reduction zone of the furnace. The removed upflowing gas, known as hot bleed gas, may be ducted to the top gas scrubber of the furnace or may be mixed with the main reducing gas stream of the furnace for reintroduction to the furnace. Alternatively, hot reducing gas may be directly injected into the center portion of the burden, offsetting the cooling effect of the upflowing gas.

Abstract: An apparatus relating to assembly and welding machines having multiple nests each for insertion of a part into a fixture for subsequent assembly and/or automatic welding. The apparatus comprises a pair of parallel-disposed nests which are sequentially operated allowing an operator to manually insert a part into one nest while the part in the other nest is being operated on by robotics.
