Abstract: The invention regards the modulation of TGF-? activity by administering to a subject an antibody that binds to TGF-?, thereby increasing bone growth, bone formation, bone mass and bone strength. The antibody acts to increase osteoblast number and function while at the same time decreasing osteoclast number and function. Such drugs are useful in the treatment of diseases or disorders such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, metastatic bone cancer, myeloma bone disease, bone fractures, etc.

Abstract: A motion support mechanism, for example for a chair, joined to a mounting surface and to a base for providing resistive support to the mounting surface as the mounting surface undergoes one or both of rotational and tilt movement relative to the base. The motion support mechanism includes a support bearing connected to the mounting surface and to the base which permits one or both of tilting and rotational motion of the mounting surface relative to the base, a pivot ball sized fixedly attached to a portion of the base, and, a resistance cartridge fixedly connected to the mounting surface such that the resistance cartridge undergoes movement relative to the base and applies a resistive force on the base as the mounting surface undergoes one or both of rotational and tilt movement.

Abstract: A memory system (250) includes a plurality of memory devices (260) adapted to be coupled to an interface (140), an indicator (272) for indicating a type of the plurality of memory devices (260), and an override circuit (280) having a first terminal adapted to be coupled to the interface (140), a second terminal coupled to the plurality of the memory devices (260), and a control input for receiving a control signal. The override circuit (280) is responsive to the control signal to alter an operation of the memory system (250).

Abstract: A stirring hot plate for simultaneously heating and stirring a mixture includes a phase controlled motor that spins magnets which couple to, and thereby spin, a stir bar within the mixture. In addition to spinning the magnets, the motor includes an operational mode in which the motor is rapidly braked thereby quickly spinning down the stir bar. The stirring hot plate also includes a visual indicator to the user that the platform is hot-to-the-touch that is especially effective when the stirring hot plate is not in use.

Abstract: A monitoring system for a waste compactor system comprising: a compacting device; at least one removable waste container; a compactor communications device for transmitting an indication of the fullness level of at least one receptacle or bin; a container communications device attached to the at least one removable waste container; a site monitoring unit to communicate with the container communications device and the compactor communications device.

Abstract: A hotplate with a stainless steel top plate to support a vessel. The stainless steel top plate has an upper surface with a substantially centrally located depression having a depth and area generally sufficient to absorb upward crowning of the top plate when heated. A heating unit is in a heat transfer relation with the stainless steel top plate, and a base unit is connected to the heating plate assembly; however, the base unit is not fastened directly to the stainless steel top plate, so that the stainless steel top plate can expand more uniformly when heated.

Abstract: An apparatus handles long latency interrupt signals in a computer which posts I/O write operations. The apparatus includes a posting buffer for posting write operations and circuitry for ensuring that End-of-Interrupt (EOI) write operations (and other interrupt controller directed I/0 operations) are properly synchronized to prevent false interrupts from reaching the processor. Upon receipt of the EOI write operation, the apparatus verifies that the posting buffer is empty before it imposes a pre-determined delay to ensure sufficient time for the cleared the interrupt signal to be transmitted over the interrupt serial bus. Next, the apparatus checks the interrupt serial bus for activities. If the interrupt serial bus is idle, the EOI write operation is issued to the interrupt controller. Alternatively, the apparatus waits until the serial bus becomes inactive for two back-to-back cycles before allowing the EOI write operation to be issued to the interrupt controller.

Abstract: A sterilizer valve including a valve body with an inlet, an outlet, a vent, and a centerbore intersecting the inlet, outlet and vent. The valve further includes a valve stem having a shot chamber for holding a volume of sterilizing fluid, a fill passage having one end in fluid communication with the shot chamber and a second end intersecting the exterior surface at a fill port. The valve stem also has fluid communicating paths extending through the interior and disposed in an external surface of the valve stem. The valve stem is rotatably disposed in the centerbore of the valve body to selectively fluidly connect the shot chamber with the vent through the fluid communication paths upon the valve stem having different rotational positions with respect to the valve body.
