  • Advanced functional biocompatible polymer putty used as a hemostatic agent for treating damaged tissue and cells
    Patent number: 9616088
    Abstract: A hemostatic putty for treatment of a variety of wounds topographies, including but not limited to highly three dimensional wounds, for example gunshot wounds and impalements, is disclosed. The putty is comprised of a matrix polymer weakly crosslinked or not crosslinked such that a viscoelastic matrix is formed. The viscoelastic nature of the putty is tunable by the composition and enables the putty to conform to a variety of wound topographies. Likewise, a hemostatic polymer, for example chitosan or hydrophobically modified chitosan, is included in this matrix to impart hemostatic properties and tissue adhesive on the putty. The hemostatic polymers disclosed prevent microbial infection and are suitable for oxygen transfer required during normal wound metabolism.

  • Compositions and methods for the suppression of target polynucleotides from lepidoptera
    Patent number: 9617559
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided which employ a silencing element that, when ingested by a pest, such as a pest from the Lepidoptera order, they are capable of decreasing the expression of a target sequence in the pest. Further provided are silencing elements which when ingested by the pest decrease the level of the target polypeptide and thereby control the pest. In specific embodiment, the pest is Spodoptera frugiperda. Plants, plant part, bacteria and other host cells comprising the silencing elements or an active variant or fragment thereof of the invention are also provided.

  • Peroxisome biogenesis factor protein (Pex) disruptions for altering polyunsaturated fatty acids and total lipid content in oleaginous eukaryotic organisms
    Patent number: 9617571
    Abstract: Methods of increasing the amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the total lipid fraction and in the oil fraction of PUFA-producing, oleaginous eukaryotes, accomplished by modifying the activity of peroxisome biogenesis factor (Pex) proteins. Disruptions of a chromosomal Pex3 gene, Pex10p gene or Pex16p gene in a PUFA-producing, oleaginous eukaryotic strain resulted in an increased amount of PUFAs, as a percent of total fatty acids and as a percent of dry cell weight, in the total lipid fraction and in the oil fraction of the strain, as compared to the parental strain whose native Pex protein was not disrupted.

  • Lock nut
    Patent number: 9618030
    Abstract: The present invention is a lock nut which fastens to enable a downstream bent portion of a spiral coil spring to be a stopper point so that the diameter of the spiral coil spring is extended overall, and which unfastens to release the downstream bent portion from the stopper point and enable an upstream bent portion of the spiral coil spring to be a stopper point so that the diameter of the spiral coil spring is extended overall, thus enabling the lock nut to be easily fasten without sacrificing elastic fastening forces of the conventional lock nut, preventing the lock nut from easily unfastening by unintentional external force, and enabling the lock nut to unfasten only by intentional external force. The above described operation can be performed without increasing manufacturing cost, and the lock nut can be manufactured to be disposable in order to achieve preventing accidents in advance.

The support structure positioning mechanism may be configured to position a support structure on the magnet when the magnet is on the base. The base may comprise at least one magnet alignment feature that causes the magnet to rotate about the axis to a preferred angular orientation corresponding to a lower energy configuration as a function of angle about the axis as the magnet moves closer to the base. The bearing assembly may be movable along the axis to allow the magnet to be moved closer to the base and cause the magnet to achieve the preferred angular orientation.

  • STRUCTURES AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING LOSSES IN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS
    Publication number: 20170098973
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to printed circuit board motors and specifically to printed circuit boards used in motors and generators. Windings formed from copper on printed circuit boards have been used for purposes of forming antennas, inductors, transformers, and stators that can be incorporated in permanent magnet brushless DC (permanent magnet synchronous) machines. For energy conversion devices using modern permanent magnet materials and PCB stators, the magnetic field is not strongly confined by magnetically susceptible materials. Thus, the interaction between fields from adjacent turns in a winding, and/or windings on adjacent layers (for a multilayer configuration) may be significant. The structures disclosed hereinafter reduce the effective resistance in the windings, and therefore reduce the associated losses to achieve a reduced current density in portions of the rotating energy conversion devices.
