Abstract: A portable fuel metering system (PMU) is described. The PMU has one or more flow meters capable of metering the flow of fluids, such as fuel, as the fluid is transferred from a source to a receiver. The PMU may include a telemetry unit configured to transmit parameters related to the fuel transfer to remote location. The PMU may be configured in a light, portable package that may be carried by one or two people. The PMU may include a power generator that is configured to use the flow of fluid to the PMU to generate power for the PMU's operation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are human antibody molecules that immunospecifically bind to human CXCR2. The disclosed human antibody molecules are potent and selective antagonists of CXCR2 functions and prevent the recruitment of neutrophils into tissues without strongly depleting circulating neutrophil numbers. Pharmaceutical compositions, nucleic acid molecules, vectors, cells, and uses of the disclosed antibodies are also provided.

Abstract: A muscle activating and exercising device and a method of activating and exercising muscles of the human body. The device includes an outer material and at least one flexible inner material. The device is an elongated device that is pliable enough to be wrapped around an object. The device also has an outer surface that creates a frictional fit between the device and the wrapped object. The wrapped object could be, for example, a wrist or ankle on a human limb or a location on a portion of sports equipment (e.g., a lacrosse stick, baseball bat, hockey stick, golf club or tennis racket). The method includes a method of activating muscles using the device. Through such a method, a user can, for example. build muscle strength and/or reduce muscle tremors.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fusion polypeptide comprising a first domain and a second domain, wherein the first domain comprises a polypeptide ligand which binds to a cell surface-associated antigen and the second domain comprises aglycosylated interferon ? 2b (IFN?2b) having a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2. The aglycosylated IFN?2b further comprises one or more amino acid substitutions or deletions which attenuate the activity of the aglycosylated IFN?2b.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to a muscle activating and exercising device and a method of activating and exercising muscles of the human body. More particularly, it relates to an elongated device that is pliable enough to be wrapped around an object. Such device also has an outer surface that creates a frictional fit between the device and the wrapped object. The wrapped object could be, for example, a wrist or ankle on a human limb or a location on a portion of sports equipment (e.g., a lacrosse stick, baseball bat, hockey stick, golf club or tennis rack). The present invention also relates to a method of activating muscles using a pliable device. Through such a method, a user can, for example. build muscle strength and/or reduce muscle tremors.

Abstract: A dimmer switch for an LED light source utilizes a thyristor-type device (“TTD”) having a first terminal, a second terminal, and a gate terminal. A low-voltage power supply converts alternating voltage into a direct voltage and is connected in parallel with the TTD. Gate current supplying circuitry is provided to supply current to the gate of the TTD, the gate current supplying circuitry powered by the low-voltage power supply and including a variable input device operable to vary a voltage waveform at the gate of the TTD in order to vary a voltage waveform provided at the second terminal.

Abstract: This invention relates to an insulated article. The insulated articles comprise either a twin walled construction and/or a protective pouch of packaging material encompassing a layer of insulating material. The insulating material comprises an aerogel material such as silica aerogel material and the function of the insulation is to minimize energy usage in the articles. One particularly preferred article is an oven constructed with an inner and an outer wall and a layer of aerogel insulation encapsulated in a packaging material therebetween. A transparent insulation may be used for the front door of the oven or alternatively a camera capturing images inside the oven may be provided in conjunction with a visual display for displaying the images captured by the camera. The energy consumption of the oven is reduced significantly. Similar techniques can also be applied to other articles of manufacture including hot water cylinders, beverage and food containers, radiators and fireplace surrounds to name a few.
