Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure describe a method and a system for controlling an operation of an inducer motor of a furnace system. The method includes receiving an input comprising one or more of experimental data, field test data, and operational information associated with the furnace system along with associated environmental condition data. The method also include establishing a relationship associated with torque signals and motor speed of the inducer motor to a precise airflow rate based on the received input. The method further includes controlling the operation of the inducer motor based at least on the established relationship and a required mass flow rate of the air in the furnace system.

Abstract: A system comprises an authentication sub-system configured to authenticate a user and a biochemical analysis sub-system configured to perform a biochemical analysis on a biological sample provided to the biochemical analysis sub-system. The system is configured to authenticate a user using the authentication sub-system, instruct an authenticated user to provide a biological sample to the biochemical analysis sub-system, execute a biochemical analysis on a provided biological sample.

Abstract: Provided are affinity matured and humanized antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to human neuropilin-2 (NRP2) polypeptides, including those that modulate binding interactions between human NRP2 and at least one NRP2 ligand, and which thereby modulate subsequent NRP2-mediated downstream signaling events, including related therapeutic compositions and methods for modulating NRP2 activity and treating diseases such as NRP2-associated diseases.

Abstract: A power transmission system includes a simple planetary gearset and a compound planetary gearset. A first coupling mechanism associated with the simple planetary gearset selectively couples a component of the simple planetary gearset to ground, and a second coupling mechanism associated with the compound planetary gearset selectively couples a component of the compound planetary gearset to ground.

Abstract: A mechanism for an extension leaf of an extension table. The mechanism comprises a frame defining a first formation configured for engagement by an end of a first axle of the extension leaf and second formation configured for engagement by an end of a second axle of the extension leaf. The first formation mounts the end of the first axle for rotation about a first axis that is parallel to a hinge axis of the extension leaf, and constrains the first axle against translation in a plane perpendicular to the first axis. In the illustrated embodiment, the first formation is simply an aperture in the frame. The second formation defines an elongate path along the frame, supports the end of the second axle for rotation about a second axis, and guides the second axle along the elongate path from end to end during reconfiguration of the extension leaf between its extended configuration and its collapsed configuration as shown.

Abstract: A wind turbine rotor blade that includes a blade body having a shape that generates a lift when impacted by an incident airflow. The blade body includes a pressure side and a suction side shell joining at a leading and a trailing edge, and a load-shedding assembly mechanically coupled with the trailing edge and configured to move from an original position to a reversibly deformed position under an application of an external load, and back to the original position on withdrawal of the external load. The load-shedding assembly includes the pressure and suction side shells, and a number of flexible structural elements mechanically coupled with the shells and configured to cause the load-shedding assembly to move from the original position to the deformed position under the external load and back to the original position on withdrawal of the external load, and thereby, reduce an overall load on the blade body.

Abstract: A Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) burner assembly is disclosed. The HVAC burner assembly includes one or more burners comprising a downstream side and an inlet disposed on an upstream side. An inlet manifold, in fluid communication with the inlet of the one or more burner, is adapted to supply a primary air-fuel mixture to the inlet of the one or more burner. At least one mechanical blower is in fluid communication with the inlet manifold. The at least one mechanical blower includes an impeller adapted to receive and mix a fuel with primary air for generating the primary air-fuel mixture.

Abstract: A battery-powered troweling machine is driven by an electric motor powered by a pair of twenty-four volt batteries coupled in series to drive a planetary gearbox to rotate a trowel blade assembly engageable with the surface of the poured concrete. The controls are carried by a detachable handle that is connectable with a receiver box that traps the handle between interior and exterior stops and uses over center clamps to maintain the handle in proper position within the receiver box. The controls at the rearward distal end of the handle can be used to vary the speed of rotation of the troweling assembly, to adjust the pitch of the individual trowel blades through an actuator and linkage assembly, to initiate actuation of the electric motor and to provide an emergency stop for the operation of the troweling machine.

Abstract: An instrument includes a fluidic cartridge having a body comprising a malleable material and a layer comprising a deformable material bonded to a surface of the body that seals one or more fluidic channels that communicate with one or more valve bodies formed in a surface of the body. The valve can be closed by applying pressure to the deformable material sufficient to close off a fluidic channel in the body. A cartridge interface is configured to engage the cartridge.
