Abstract: One-component, moisture-curable polyurethane adhesives exhibit excellent handling strength before being fully cured, and excellent creep properties after curing. The adhesives include an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer made from polyols that include a crystalline polyester and hydroquinone bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ether, and a polyoxazolidine compound.

Abstract: A bifacial solar module with enhanced power output including first and second transparent support layers, a plurality of electrically interconnected bifacial solar cells arranged between the transparent support layers with gaps between one or more of the interconnected solar cells and edges of the first and second transparent support layers, the bifacial solar cells having a first side directly exposed to solar radiation and a second side opposite the first. The bifacial solar module further includes one or more micro-structured reflective tapes positioned coincidentally with the gaps and attached to a surface of the second support layer such that light passing through the second support layer is reflected back into the second support layer at angles such that light reflecting from the tape is absorbed by either the first or second side of the bifacial solar cells.

Abstract: A golf club has a first shaft coupled to a club head, a second shaft configured to slidably engage a portion of the first shaft, a grip coupled to the second shaft, and an adjustable length shaft assembly received by the second shaft and configured to allow a portion of the first shaft to slide in relation to the second shaft in a first configuration, and to restrict a portion of the first shaft from sliding in relation to the second shaft in a second configuration. The grip is restricted from rotation about the first shaft or the second shaft as the first shaft slides in relation to the second shaft.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for transfecting cells (e.g., liver cells) to express ABCA1 and increase HDL in the blood. The compositions described herein comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous carrier containing sonochemically-active microspheres together with a plasmid DNA construct encoding an active form of ABCA1 and at least one promoter for the expression thereof. Preferably, the sonochemically-active microspheres comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of gas bubbles (e.g., a fluorocarbon gas, such as octafluoropropane) encapsulated within protein-containing or lipid-containing shells (e.g., human serum albumin shells). The microspheres are disruptable by exposure to ultrasonic acoustic energy to release the encapsulated gas.

Abstract: A four quadrant power module with lower substrate parallel power paths and upper substrate equidistant clock tree timing utilizing parallel leg construction in a captive fastener power module housing.

Abstract: Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method includes receiving illustrated content. The illustrated content includes half-tone content. The method includes blurring at least part of the illustrated content. The blurring is performed according to a blur radius. The method includes downscaling the blurred illustrated content to an output size.
