Abstract: A chuck configured to engage a drill bit. The chuck includes a socket body, a first annulus, a second annulus, and a sleeve. The socket body includes a tool end configured to be coupled to a tool and a tool bit end configured to be coupled with the drill bit. The second annulus is selectively movable relative to the first annulus. The sleeve is selectively movable relative to the socket body between a home position in which the second annulus presses upon the drill bit to secure the drill bit to the tool end and a retracted position in which the second annulus is movable relative to the socket body and the drill bit is movable relative to the socket body.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates in part to methods for treating non-uveal melanoma cancers having GNAQ or GNA11 genetic mutations that include administering a PKC small molecule inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method vaccinating avian against reovirus.

Abstract: Provided herein are aminoglycoside compounds, such as compounds of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (IVa), (V), (VI), (VIIa), or (VIIb) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, stereoisomers, or tautomers of any of the foregoing, useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents. Also provided herein are methods for their preparation. The compounds may be useful in treating a bacterial infection in a subject, for example a Gram-negative bacterial infection.

Abstract: Vaccines for Porphyromonas gingivalis are described. Also provided are methods of treating or preventing a disorder or disease by administering the vaccine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to vaccine and composition comprising at least one antigenic material derived from an avian reovirus and an adjuvant comprising a lipophile and a polymer of acrylic or methacrylic acid and uses thereof for vaccinating avian against reoviruses.

Abstract: Enabling communication between real and simulated elements of a process control system. Software instructions stored in a memory device are executed by a processor to represent a virtual switch. The virtual switch connects to a real element of a process control system and to a simulated element of a process control system. The virtual switch receives communication from the real element intended for the simulated element and forwards the communication to the proper simulated element. The virtual switch receives communication from the simulated element intended for the real element and forwards the communication to the proper real element.

Abstract: A fluid level gauge includes a housing having a first end and a second end, and a window disposed in the housing, proximate to the first end. The fluid level gauge further includes an optical sensor disposed in the housing, proximate to the second end. A prism is disposed in the housing, between the optical sensor and the window, such that the prism and the window define a fluid chamber therebetween. The housing further includes a plurality of through holes that provides a fluid path from outside the housing to the fluid chamber.

Abstract: This invention relates to the isolation and uses of novel avian astroviruses. The present invention also relates to vaccines, kits and methods for detection of a novel astrovirus. The present invention further relates to vaccination of avians, prevention and/or treatment of avian infections associated with astrovirus. Infections of poultry by this novel astrovirus are associated with runt stunting syndromes.

Abstract: Method of combating a parasitic protozoal infection of a host organism, wherein the parasite causing the infection is associated with an enzyme system capable of activating tretazicar into a cytotoxic form. The method is carried out by administering tretazicar to the host organism.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel unique strains avian reoviridae that were isolated from severe cases of Runting Stunting Syndrome. The present invention also relates to the isolation and uses of novel unique avian reoviridae, diagnostic assays using nucleotide or amino acid specific components of such viruses, such as the sequence encoding Sigma C capsid protein and to vaccines that protect birds from diseases caused by such viruses.

Abstract: An optical disc is disclosed having a set of primary tracks and a set of alternate tracks. At least some of the primary and alternate tracks are associated. When a CD-DA reader accesses the optical disc, it locates only the primary tracks. By contrast, when a data reader such as a CD-Rom drive accesses the disc, modifications to the Table of Contents (TOC) cause the data reader not to access a given primary track but instead to be directed to its associated alternate track. This alternate track may contain audio (CD-DA) data which may or may not correspond with the CD-DA data in the associated primary track. The alternate tracks may be copy protected, and/or may include compressed (not CD-DA) data which is the subject of digital rights management.

Abstract: A broadband wireless network includes intelligent base stations and mobile units. The network includes control means to manage connectivity of the mobile units to the intelligent base stations. Software is provided to control connection of the mobile unit to an intelligent base station having preferred signal characteristics. When a mobile unit connects to an intelligent base station, the software broadcasts corrected routing information to all intelligent base stations on the network allowing persistent wireless connectivity.

Abstract: A method of combating a parasitic protozoal infection of a host organism, the method comprising administering tretazicar to the host organism. Tretazicar is the compound 5-(aziridin-1-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzamide (CB 1954), and the parasitic infection is preferably an infection of Trypanosoma cruzi, T. b. brucei, Leishmania spp. particularly L. infantum, Cryptosporidium or Giardia spp.

Abstract: A durable and wear resistant synthetic sports field having at least one strip having a plurality of fibrillated polypropylene strands tufted within a multilayer backing material. The strands are tufted in a wide variety of pile heights, patterns, gauges, and stitch patterns depending upon end use. The multiplayer backing material has a top mesh polypropylene layer at least three layers of a backing material coated with a secondary coating used to contain the ends of the plurality of strands. The strips are placed onto a fine aggregate layer placed over a coarse aggregate layer and a geotextile fabric. The geotextile fabric is placed onto a compacted and leveled subgrade. A ground rubber infill, with or without sand particles and diatomaceous earth, is introduced onto the strips. In alternative arrangements, a series of perforated drains and drain tiles may be introduced to the coarse aggregate layer to promote drainage.
