Abstract: An optical fiber cable for blown installation has a tubular central strength member about which tubes loosely housing optical fibers are stranded. The jacket is preferably formed from a high density polyethylene material and is extruded over the core on which rip cords are positioned. A water blocking compound is provided in each tube in any spaces therein which would otherwise be void. Also a water blocking material is provided between the sheath and the layer defined by the helically wound wrapping tape or binding yam in any spaces between the tubes which would otherwise be void.

Abstract: A paper tray assembly for providing imaging media to an imaging apparatus, includes a base cassette and an insert cassette. The base cassette defines a first receptacle to receive at least a portion of the insert cassette, and the insert cassette defines a second receptacle to receive the imaging media.

Abstract: Golf clubs having an embedded inertial measurement unit and a corresponding microprocessor for determining the motion of the head of the golf club. Briefly described, one of a number of embodiments of a golf club comprises a 6DOF inertial measurement unit disposed within the head of the golf club and a microprocessor in communication with the 6DOF inertial measurement unit. The microprocessor is configured to receive data from the 6DOF inertial measurement unit and determine the motion of the head of the golf club.

Abstract: A compound according to formula one that is useful as a fungicide is provided. Additionally, processes to make and use same are provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a vibration dampening laminate that is lightweight and has superior sound insulation and vibration dampening properties. The vibration dampening laminate comprises a constraining layer, a viscoelastic adhesive layer, a foam spacing layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer including a release layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer and release layer are contoured to fit a profile of the article being soundproofed and vibration dampened.

Abstract: A signal repeater for use between a serial data line and a peripheral device is disclosed. The signal repeater receives bus signals on the serial data line at a first voltage and translates the bus signal into a device signal of a second voltage. Also, the signal repeater is operative to receives device signals from the device at the second voltage and translates the device signal into a bus signal at the first voltage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (Sips) and haplotypes in the CTLA-4 locus and their association with a predisposition, susceptibility or resistance to autoimmune disease such as Graves Disease (GD) or Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract: An optical fibre cable for blown installation has a tubular central strength member (114) about which tubes (112) loosely housing optical fibres (116) are stranded. The jacket (118) is preferably formed from a high density polyethylene material and is extruded over the core (100) on which rip cords (124) are positioned. Water blocking compound (126) is provided in each tube (112) in any spaces therein which would otherwise be void. Also a water blocking material (128) is provided between the sheath (121) and the layer defined by the helically wound wrapping tape (122) or binding yarn in any spaces between the tubes (112) which would otherwise be void.

Abstract: A compound according to formula one that is useful as a fungicide is provided. Additionally, processes to make and use same are provided.

Abstract: A paper tray assembly for providing imaging media to an imaging apparatus, includes a base cassette and an insert cassette. The base cassette defines a first receptacle to receive at least a portion of the insert cassette, and the insert cassette defines a second receptacle to receive the imaging media.

Abstract: Circulation flow apertures in a wellbore pipe, tubing, casing or casing liner screen may be selectively closed by an internal pipe sleeve that is formed of a thin, malleable material. One axial end of the sleeve is flared and secured to the inner bore surface of the pipe as by welding or by clamping between the ends of axially adjacent pipe joints joined by a threaded coupling. The remaining length of the sleeve extends along the pipe and over any pipe apertures to form an annular space between the outer cylinder surface of the sleeve and the inner bore surface of the pipe. A perimeter seal element such as an O-ring is placed around the sleeve outer perimeter beyond the apertures in a direction opposite from the sleeve flare. The flow aperture in the pipe is closed by a swaging tool that expands the sleeve against the pipe bore wall sufficiently to close the annulus and compress the O-ring seal against the pipe borewall.

Abstract: A novel receptor, “LDL-receptor-related protein-3” (“LRP-3”), is provided, along with encoding nucleic acid. The gene is associated with type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), and experimental evidence provides indication that it is the IDDM susceptibility gene IDDM4. In various aspects the invention provides nucleic acid, including coding sequences, oligonucleotide primers and probes, polypeptides, pharmaceutical compositions, methods of diagnosis or prognosis, and other methods relating to and based on the gene, including methods of treatment of diseases in which the gene may be implicated, including autoimmune diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diseases and disorders involving disruption of endocytosis and/or antigen presentation, diseases and disorders involving cytokine clearance and/or inflammation, viral infection, elevation of free fatty acids or hypercholesterolemia, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes.
