  • Publication number: 20190023427
    Abstract: A temperature control system may include a heat exchanger configured to cool air within a pressurized enclosed crew cabin when the air is circulated across the heat exchanger and coolant is circulated through the heat exchanger. The system may further include a sublimator configured to cool the coolant. The system may also include a primary coolant line configured to transport the coolant from the sublimator through the heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20190023426
    Abstract: An air revitalization system may include a humidity control device configured to remove water vapor from air within a pressurized enclosed volume. The system may further include an inlet duct configured to transport the air from the pressurized enclosed volume to the humidity control device. The system may also include an outlet duct configured to transport the air from the humidity control device to the pressurized enclosed volume. The system may include a sublimator configured to cool the air within the pressurized enclosed volume while generating additional water vapor. The system may further include a vacuum vent duct configured to transport the water vapor from the humidity control device and the additional water vapor from the sublimator to an exterior of the pressurized enclosed volume.

  • Patent number: 10107816
    Abstract: The disclosure provides diagnostic and therapeutic agents for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Further provided are biomarkers and a biomarker panel comprising G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) specifically expressed by CLL cells. Methods for diagnosing a disease stage of a CLL patient, progression, or prediction of clinical course and drug selection for the CLL patient, as well as methods for treating CLL, by targeting these GPCR biomarkers are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10076178
    Abstract: An improved hammock suspension system is provided which is both laterally stable and flat, and suspended between two spaced trees by longitudinally elongated web straps coupled to an independent anchor strap, one at each end. These longitudinally elongated web straps are affixed to each longitudinal side edge and extend a distance beyond the opposing hammock body ends, creating four web extensions. These web extensions extend a distance to accommodate spreader member receptacles which secure horizontal, rigid spreader members, thus transferring load forces along opposing longitudinal edges, creating a flatter sleeping platform. The extensions also accommodate fasteners, creating four points of connection and coupling the elongated web strap extensions to an independent web strap anchored to a tree by passing the strap around the tree at minimum 540 degrees, fully encircling and anchoring the strap to the tree and preventing slippage, while also alleviating torsional roll.
