Abstract: Methods and systems for isolating objects from seismic vibration, isolation flooring systems, vibrational damping devices, and methods for their use are disclosed. The present invention has the advantage of having a minimum of moving parts, and being extraordinarily easy to install and inspect. In preferred embodiments, the invention is drawn to methods of isolating sensitive objects from the full extent of seismic vibrations.

Abstract: Improved isolation bearings, platforms, and tracks are disclosed for protecting a payload, such as delicate equipment, from damage due to vibrations, such as seismic vibrations. The isolation platforms and bearings combine a plurality of shapes on their load bearing surfaces to increase stability of the payload even when subjected to vibrations of high velocity or intensity.

Abstract: This relates to a method to generate a mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide gas and a Carrier gas, consisting in passing a dry Carrier gas through a solution of Hydrogen Peroxide.

Abstract: Bearing retention devices and methods for their use in isolation bearings such as seismic bearings. In preferred embodiments, the invention includes a sleeve structure assembly secured by a plurality of elastic straps to upper and lower plates or pans of a rolling ball isolation bearing. The sleeve component is structured to retain the rolling ball within the circumference or area of the bearing plates of each the upper and lower bearing portions of the bearing while permitting the ball to freely roll in any direction during a seismic event.

Abstract: The invention relates to the surprising finding that biomarkers corresponding to ACAA1, AP1M2, CGN, DDR1, EPS8L2, FASTKD1, GMIP, IKBKE, P2RX4, P4HB, PHKG2, PPFIBP2, PPP1 R16A, RASSF7, RNF183, SIRT6, TJP3, EFEMP2, S0CS2, and DCN are differentially expressed in control samples as compared to samples from patients having endometrial cancer and are therefore useful for detecting endometrial cancer. In particular these biomarkers having excellent sensitivity, specificity, and/or the ability to separate affected from non affected individuals. Furthermore, the inventors found that the differential expression of these biomarkers in primary endometrial cancer tumor tissue is correlated to their expression level in uterine fluid samples as compared to control values. Thus these biomarkers are robust in that they are found to be differentially expressed in several different types of samples from affected individuals.

Abstract: This relates to an apparatus to add gas from liquid state source to a dry carrier gas at low pressure and delivery method.

Abstract: Improved isolation bearings, platforms, and tracks are disclosed for protecting a payload, for example delicate computer equipment such as a hard disk drive, from damage due to vibrations, such as seismic vibrations, as well as weaker vibrations due to HDD, motorized equipment, air conditioning, heating systems, and the like. The isolation platforms and bearings combine a plurality of shapes on their load bearing surfaces to increase stability of the payload even when subjected to vibrations of high velocity or intensity, and preferably have an elastomeric coating on all but a central portion of the load-bearing surfaces of the bearing plates.

Abstract: A lawn rake having means to minimize lateral spill of debris. A laminar side skirt, preferably made of flexible plastic and trapezium shape, is secured by a suitable clamp to at least a pair of extreme tines at each side of the lawn rake at a point near the rake head. Each laminar side skirt is hinged to the most extreme tine by means of rings spaced along the tine length. Slidable elliptical links are provided between adjacent tines near their working end to distribute deforming acting forces among all tines.
