Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a system of fans in a facility from a central system controller are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the system of fans can be configured to shut down automatically during an emergency condition or event. For example, a fan system controller can be connected to the system of fans and provide a signal to each of the fans. While each of the fans receives the signal, power is connected to a motor on each of the fans. Upon detection of an emergency condition, the fan system controller disconnects the signal to the fans, thereby automatically simultaneously shutting down the entire system of fans.

Abstract: A technique for cooling electrical bus structures is disclosed, in which a phase change heat spreader is thermally coupled to the bus. A continuous phase change cycle occurs within the heat spreader to draw heat from the bus during operation. The heat spreader may be planar, and extend over an area greater then the surface area of the bus to enhance cooling and to render the overall assembly more isothermal. The heat spreader may be placed near bus joints and circuits to remove heat caused by increased resistance at such locations.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel assay system for measuring the amount of active PAI-1 in a sample with sensitivity, and correlation to an active PAI-1 amount. The assay determines the amount of active PAI-1 in a sample by utilizing a novel standard curve. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for raising a monoclonal antibody against human vitronectin and the purified anti-vitronectin antibody produced by this method. The antibody of the present invention is useful as both a research tool and as an agent for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, particularly atherosclerosis and restenosis, osteoporosis, and inflammatory diseases.
