  • Publication number: 20170064778
    Abstract: A system and method for safe operation of a microwave oven is disclosed. The heating function of the microwave oven may be automatically disabled upon detection, by the microwave oven, of a metal object entering a heating compartment of the microwave. The detection may be based on magnetic induction. Further, the heating function of the microwave may be automatically enabled and recovered upon detection, by the microwave oven, of a metal object being removed from the heating compartment of the microwave.

  • Publication number: 20050288218
    Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the amino terminal domain and the N-linked carbohydrate contained in the amino terminal of C1INH are required for binding of C1INH to LPS. C1INH has the ability to block the binding of LPS to cells, e.g., macrophages. One aspect of the invention provides a method for treating or preventing sepsis in a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition comprising a modified C1INH polypeptide, thereby treating or preventing sepsis in a subject. In another aspect, the invention provides a method for treating or preventing LPS-mediated inflammation in a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition comprising a modified C1INH polypeptide, thereby treating or preventing LPS-mediated inflammation in a subject.
