Abstract: A portable refrigerator assembly includes a refrigerator that has a box and a door that is hingedly coupled to the box. A plurality of feet is each coupled to and extends laterally away from the refrigerator for stabilizing the refrigerator on a support surface. A cooling unit is provided and the cooling unit is positioned in the refrigerator such that the cooling unit is in thermal communication with an interior of the refrigerator. In this way the cooling unit can cool the interior of the refrigerator. A pair of warming plates is each coupled to the refrigerator and a food item can be positioned on each of the warming plates. Additionally, each of the warming plates generates heat when the warming plates are turned on to warm the food item.

Abstract: A double needle bar spacer knit fabric is provided. The fabric includes a first layer that has a plurality of yarns that are knitted together. At least one of the yarns of the first layer is an elastomeric yarn that functions to impart stretch and recovery properties to the first layer. A second layer that has a plurality of yarns that are knitted together is also present. The first layer and second layer are connected to one another by way of a connecting layer that has a plurality of traversing yarns that are knitted to and extend between both the first layer and the second layer. The first layer provides technical properties to the fabric, and the second layer provides the fabric with desired aesthetic properties.

Abstract: A binding partner for the TSH receptor, which binding partner comprises, or is derived from, a human monoclonal or recombinant antibody, or one or more fragments thereof, reactive with the TSH receptor, uses thereof, methods of diagnosis and therapy employing the same, and anti-idiotypic antibodies thereto.

Abstract: A wheel assembly is provided. The wheel assembly includes a wheel of the kind that may be mounted to a frame of a bicycle. The wheel assembly also has a spinning component mounted with a bearing on to a hub of the wheel. The spinning component has a plurality of radially extending, angularly-spaced components. The spinning component is set in motion when the wheel turns, and continues spinning for a period of time when the wheel is brought to a stop.

Abstract: The present invention relates to tissue transglutaminase (tTG), and more particularly to DNA coding for and polypeptides containing, the primary structural conformaion of one or more epitopes of tTG and to the use thereof in the detection of autoantibodies and/or lymphocytes produced in response to tTG.

Abstract: A method of screening a sample of body fluid obtained from an animal subject for analyte autoantibodies reactive with one or more antigenic molecules selected from pancreatic islet cell antigenic molecules and insulin, or one or more variants, analogues, derivatives or fragments thereof, and a kit for use in such a method.

Abstract: A system is disclosed in which recovery scenarios in a system for global transaction processing are testable with application programs. A client application program initiates a global transaction that results in multiple service requests to be processed by one or more server application programs. After processing of the service requests is complete, the client application program issues a selected test command that partially performs two-phase commit processing according to a predetermined recovery scenario. Recovery processing is initiated to recover the databases affected by the global transaction Control and status information are then returned to the client application program. After recovery processing is complete, the databases are compared to the expected states according the recovery scenario.

Abstract: A long life high current density cathode is made from a mixture of aluminum xide and tungsten oxide powders by processing the powders into a fused powder, adding barium hydride to the fused powder, inverting the fused powder and heating to decompose the barium hydride and obtain barium metal.

Abstract: A cathode is made from a mixture of tungsten and iridium powders using a ction product formed from reacting a Group III A metal powder with barium peroxide powder as an impregnant.

Abstract: A long life high current density cathode is made from a mixture of tungsten nd iridium powders by processing the mixture of powders with an activator into a porous billet, and then impregnating the billet with a quaternary compound including barium, oxygen, a metal selected from the group consisting of osmium, iridium, rhodium, and rhenium, and a metal selected from the group consisting of strontium, calcium, scandium and titanium, by firing the billet in a dry hydrogen furnace at a temperature at which the impregnant melts.

Abstract: A cathode is made from a mixture of tungsten and iridium powders using a ontium peroxide containing material as the impregnant.
