  • Patent number: 10852321
    Abstract: A test head for a semiconductor device handler includes a plunger; and a funnel insert attached to the plunger via a funnel insert spring, the funnel insert having a channel extending axially therethrough, and the funnel insert including a plurality of sloped inner walls that are sloped outwardly in a distal direction of the funnel insert and configured to contact upper edges of a semiconductor device to center the semiconductor device in the funnel insert. The plunger includes a projecting portion that extends through the channel of the funnel insert. When the spring is in an uncompressed state, a distal end of the funnel insert extends past a distal end of the projecting portion of the plunger.

  • Patent number: 10799754
    Abstract: A portable exercise device designed to efficiently and safely exercise the gluteal, hamstring and calf muscles. The exercise device is an inclined platform with an elongated resistance band attached to both sides of the upper surface of the inclined platform, providing resistance from the sides of the platform. An additional raised support is provided on the inclined platform, as well as resistance originating from within the platform, which optimizes the concentric and eccentric phase of every squat and lunge for maximal strength and hypertrophy of the muscles. The combination of the inclined platform with resistance from the sides and from the platform itself allows the user to conduct a variety of exercises for strengthening the muscles of the lower body.

  • Publication number: 20080256899
    Abstract: A bottle exhibiting thick walls, constant material thickness, a hemispherical-shaped base-forming portion and a polygonal-shaped flange. The thick walls increase the bottle's resistance to pressure, oxygen permeation and heat, over that of traditional bottles. The hemispherical-shaped base increases the bottle's resistance to pressure, over that of traditional bottles. The polygonal-shaped flange enables processing equipment, including bottle fillers and bottle cappers, to handle the bottle.

  • Publication number: 20080108147
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for reducing non-specific binding in a binding assay for the determination of an analyte in a sample wherein one of the reagents for conducting the binding assay is an antibody reagent. The methods comprise treating the antibody reagent at a pH of about 2.0 to about 3.5. The method may further comprise treating the antibody reagent with a reducing agent in an amount sufficient to reduce non-specific binding of the antibody reagent. In some embodiments the reducing agent may be a thiol-containing reducing agent or a combination of two or more thiol-containing reducing agents.

  • Publication number: 20060277835
    Abstract: The floor mounted automobile protection system for a multiple car parking garage, lots or spaces comprises a cushion positioned between adjacent parking spaces of the garage or parking lot, which cushion is supported from the floor and sized to extend at least along a portion of the length of doors of cars parked in the spaces to keep the door of one car from striking the adjacent car when opened. Further, the cushion is flexible and supported from the floor in a flexible manner so as not to interfere with the exit and entry through the vehicle doors. Being floor or ground supported the present invention is useful in open or outside parking lots without any ceiling.

  • Publication number: 20050107445
    Abstract: This invention pertains to certain active carbamic acid compounds which inhibit HDAC activity and which have the following formula: (I) A is an aryl group; Q1 is a covalent bond or an aryl leader group; J is a sulfonamide linkage selected from: —S(?O)2NR1— and —NR1S(?O)2—; R1 is a sulfonamido substituent; and, Q2 is an acid leader group; with the proviso that if J is —S(?O)2NR1—, then Q1 is an aryl leader group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, amides, esters, ethers, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit HDAC, and, e.g., to inhibit proliferative conditions, such as cancer and psoriasis.
