Abstract: The invention relates to the discovery that administration of NY-ESO-1 protein, in combination with a saponin based adjuvant leads to an unexpectedly strong immune response against NY-ESO-1 expressing cells. Preferably, the combination is administered intramuscularly.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring the condition of a utility meter by obtaining a temperature value associated with the meter, determining whether the temperature value crosses a threshold, triggering an action if the threshold value is crossed. In another form the temperature can be used as a fault parameter to determine the condition of a utility meter.

Abstract: A counterbalance system and lifting system for assisting a user. The system includes one or more arms, such as lift arms, that by user input from a user may be operated to raise and lower a load carried by a tray. The system further includes a counterbalance mechanism connected to the one or more arms configured to assist raising and lowering the loaded tray. The counterbalance mechanism may be configured to adjust to a force provided by the counterbalance system in response to the load changing. The system further includes a release for engaging the counterbalance mechanism to assist the user in raising or lowering the tray.

Abstract: A storage system and associated method of assembling the storage system. The storage system includes one or more rails for attaching the storage system to a structure. The storage system further includes one or more arms attached to the one or more rails. The storage system further includes a counterbalance mechanism attached to the one or more arms configured to provide a force to assist lifting or lowering a load applied to the one or more lift arms. The storage system further includes a release for engaging the counterbalance mechanism to assist a user in raising or lowering the one or more lift arms.

Abstract: A force engine operable to counterbalance a load. The force engine includes one or more energy reservoirs operable to store energy. The one or more energy reservoirs are operable to generate a force to balance the load through the displacement in an operating mode. A traveling member is hingedly connected to the one or more energy reservoirs. The force generated by the one or more energy reservoirs is transferred to the load through the traveling member and an associated linkage. A variable member is coupled to the one or more energy reservoirs. In the adjusting mode the variable member is displaced to configure an operating relationship between the one or more energy reservoirs and the traveling member. A release interacts with the variable member to fix a position of the variable member.

Abstract: The invention relates to the identification of melanoma repopulating cells, characterization of these cells, and diagnostic and therapeutic methods based on an understanding of the properties of these cells.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a network device such as a router or switch provides efficient data packet handling capability. The network device includes one or more input ports for receiving data packets to be routed, as well as one or more output ports for transmitting data packets. The network device includes an integrated port controller integrated circuit for routing packets. The integrated circuit includes an interface circuit, a received packets circuit, a buffer manager circuit for receiving data packets from the received packets circuit and transmitting data packets in one or more buffers and reading data packets from the one or more buffers. The integrated circuit also includes a rate shaper counter for storing credit for a traffic class, so that the integrated circuit can support input and/or output rate shaping.
