Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating a disease or disorder characterized by an increased secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (e.g., Cushing's disease). Also disclosed herein are methods of identifying compounds for use in treating said diseases or disorders.

Abstract: Provided is an airplane suspension (20) fairing structure with a wing-mounted arrangement, the fairing structure comprising a front fairing located in front of the leading edge (31) of a wing and a rear fairing located at the back of the leading edge (31) of the wing; the vertical section line (G) of the front fairing is curved, ascending along air flow direction from a start point (p) of an engine nacelle (10) to the maximum height position and then descending and extending below the lower surface (32) of the wing. In the present invention, due to the curved vertical section line of the front fairing of the suspension, inner space of the suspension is met only in the position requiring greater inner space, thus enabling the engine to be mounted close to the wing without additional devices; and the fairing aerodynamic surface of the suspension will not extend to the upper surface of the wing, avoiding interference of the suspension with the wing during cruising.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a three-dimensional one-time-programmable memory (3D-OTP) comprising an off-die address/data-translator (A/D-translator). It comprises at least a 3D-array die and at least a peripheral-circuit die. At least an A/D-translator of the 3D-OTP arrays is located on the peripheral-circuit die instead of the 3D-array die. The A/D-translator converts at least an address and/or data between logic and physical spaces.

Abstract: An aircraft with a wing-hung layout has a nose cone structure for a pylon. A front nose cone is located in front of a wing leading edge, and a rear nose cone is located behind the wing leading edge. At least a part of the rear nose cone is modeled and shaped by cross section control lines and has at least one group of horizontal position control lines and at least one group of longitudinal position control lines. The rear nose cone of the pylon is shaped by horizontal position control lines. By controlling the rear nose cone curvature of the pylon the passageway area of the space between the pylon/wing/engine nacelle is optimized without deflection of the rear portion of the pylon.
