Abstract: An article of footwear is provided and includes a sole having a forefoot portion, a midfoot portion and a heel portion and a support member including a first part and a second part. The first part of the support member extends at least partially into the forefoot portion, and the second part of the support member extends from the first part and at least partially into a portion of the sole that is in or between the midfoot portion and the heel portion, where the first part forms a loop defining an opening.

Abstract: An article of footwear is provided and includes a sole having a forefoot portion, a heel portion, a medial side and a lateral side. A first plate member is positioned on the medial side of the sole, where the first plate member has a first length, and a second plate member is positioned on the lateral side of the sole, where the second plate member has a second length. The first length of the first plate member is greater than or equal to the second length of the second plate member.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generation of multi-domain proteins, more particular antibodies, with an improved native state colloidal stability.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antibody of the class IgG4 comprising at least one heavy chain which comprises a CH1 domain and a hinge region, wherein in each heavy chain: a. the inter-chain cysteine at position 127, numbered according to the Kabat numbering system, in the CH1 domain is substituted with another amino acid; and b. one or more of the amino acids positioned in the upper hinge region is substituted with cysteine.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for attaching an electrical component to a printed circuit board. The apparatus includes a circuit board, an elastomeric connector, a rotary electrical component having a connector housing for holding the elastomeric connector, and one or more fasteners for securing the electrical component to the circuit board with sufficient force to compress the elastomeric connector and thereby ensure electrical contact between the electrical component and the printed circuit board.

Abstract: A sealed cabled assembly includes a cable and a cable moisture seal assembly. The cable includes a cable subcore, a metal shield layer surrounding the cable subcore, and a jacket surrounding the metal shield layer. The cable subcore includes an electrical conductor surrounded by an electrical insulation layer. The cable moisture seal assembly includes a sealant, a electrically conductive jumper member, and an outer sleeve. The cable includes a sealing region section extending from a first axial end to a second axial end, and in which a section of the jacket and a section of the metal shield layer are removed to expose a section of the cable subcore. The insulation layer and the conductor extend through the sealing region section. First and second sections of the jacket extend away from the sealing region section in first and second opposed directions, respectively.

Abstract: A load cell may include a bar having a supported end, an unsupported end and a sensor holding portion disposed between the supported end and the unsupported end. The load cell may further include a plurality of electronic sensors including a first strain gauge pair and a second strain gauge pair disposed along the sensor holding portion. The load cell may further include an interface member directly connecting the electronic sensors for weight calculation responsive to application of a load to the unsupported end. In some cases, the interface member may include a flex circuit.

Abstract: A light weight pressure vessel (10) has been proposed. The vessel (10) is made of a steel, aluminum or non-metal liner (11) which is reinforced with high strength steel wires (21) of 2000-7000 MPa strength. The matrix is filled with a polymer epoxy resin (45). A top layer of fabric tape (33) soaked in resin (45) has been used to embed the finish end (24) of the wire (21) and to provide a protective layer over the wire reinforced area. The mesh or net fabric wrap tape (33) has periodic openings to allow penetration of polymer epoxy resin (45). A top coat of a UV resistant polyurethane paint (47) has been applied.
