Abstract: An athletic tape product for securing or supporting a human or animal body part is provided that includes a substrate impregnated with an aqueous elastomer dispersion comprising cooling agents.

Abstract: In a printing press and attached onto the transfer cylinders, an anti-marking system that uniformly supports the transport and the release of the wet printed sheet from one station to the next. The anti-marking sheet consists of a two plus layer system, the outer layer being a textured surface and the inner layer being a microcellular material that is both compressible and resilient. The outer textured layer may be treated with either conductive/anti-static layers or an ink repellent layer or both. The two plus layer system is easily attached to both transfer cylinders and tracking/skeleton wheels using any combination of fixtures from Velcro™, magnetic, metallic, and pressure sensitive double sided tape to elastic loops.

Abstract: A multi-layer sheet for use with a three-dimensional printer platform includes an intermediate layer, a polymer receptive coating disposed on one side of the intermediate layer, and a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on an opposite side of the intermediate layer. The three-dimensional printer includes a platform, a printer head that deposits material to form a product while at least one of the platform and printer head are moved. The multi-layer is sheet disposed on the platform upon which the product is formed with the product formed on the polymer receptive coating, and the pressure sensitive adhesive contacting the platform.

Abstract: A protective tape for use while welding together two metal components is provided. The protective tape includes a non-metal carrier sheet that is extensible and substantially flexible such that it closely conforms to irregular surfaces of a metal component. The protective tape also includes a covering on a first side of the carrier sheet that shields the carrier sheet from weld spatter, and an adhesive on a second side of the carrier sheet. A method of welding metal components together using the protective tape is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for profiling variations in gene transcription (e.g., variable RNA processing) from complex and/or unknown genomic regions. Rather than screening EST or cDNA libraries for transcripts of interest, the method of the invention involves the reverse, i.e., using the genetic locus responsible for the gene product as a tool to capture representatives from this (specific) region.

Abstract: The subject invention concerns novel vectors for the rapid and robust selection for cDNA sequences that encode secreted or membrane-bound proteins. The invention also pertains to methods for cloning secreted or membrane-bound proteins, including proteins encoded by novel members of gene families.

Abstract: The subject invention provides polynucleotide sequences, designated BIVM, and transcriptional/translational products obtained from the polynucleotide sequences of the invention. The subject invention also provides polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences provided by SEQ ID NOs:1-28. Also provided are methods of detecting the presence of BIVM nucleic acids or polypeptides in samples suspected of containing BIVM genes, BIVM transcriptional products, or BIVM translational products. These methods are also useful for the detection of BIVM orthologs. Other embodiments provide polypeptide and/or nucleic acid vaccines for the induction of an immune response to in an individual. Kits for detecting the presence of BIVM genes, orthologs thereof, BIVM polypeptides, or BIVM transcriptional products are also provided.

Abstract: A tape structure and/or closure system particularly useful with cylindrical insulation segments for pipes. The tape structure provides both a temporary and a permanent closure. The tape structure includes a substrate and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on both sides of the substrate. One of the layers of pressure sensitive adhesive is covered by a release liner, while the other layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is exposed. The exposed layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to one of either the underside of a flap covering a slit in the insulation jacket, or to the outer surface of the insulation jacket. The release liner is divided into two portions, one of which is narrow with respect to the other portion. The narrow portion of the release liner is removed, and a narrow strip of the second layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is attached to the other of either the outer surface of the jacket, or the underside of the flap to form a temporary closure.
