Abstract: The present technology provides methods for treating pancreatic cancer using a MEK inhibitor and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. Also disclosed herein are methods for increasing patient responsiveness to chemotherapeutic and/or immunotherapeutic regimes for pancreatic cancer. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.

Abstract: A water treatment system for a poultry chiller including a chiller tank is described herein. The system includes a float holding tank at a downstream section of the chiller tank; a fan at the downstream section of the chiller tank that is configured to blow float formed on a surface of the water in the chiller tank into the float holding tank; and a float removal mechanism at the float holding tank that is configured to remove the float from the float holding tank. Related methods are also described.

Abstract: A commercial food preparation refrigerator unit, comprising a food storage chamber disposed under a food preparation table and in which a unique baffle controls circulation of refrigerated air whereby to maintain condiments and/or ingredients in the chamber and foodstuffs in separate trays extending from the table into the chamber, at a uniform refrigerated temperature.

Abstract: A food preparation table including a cabinet having a refrigerated base for cooling stored foods, and a refrigerated upper compartment wherein food pans are supported on a pan rail recessed vertically below the top surface of the unit whereby the refrigerator simultaneously maintains a blanket of cool air across the top of the food pan, which is lower than ambient temperature, and the food in the pan is maintained at its desired cooled temperature. An automatic hot gas defrost system prevents ice build-up which would otherwise lower optimum performance of the table.

Abstract: A hanger for attaching a length of waveguide of elliptical cross-section to a crossbar on an antenna tower. The hanger comprises a resiliently yieldable and generally U-shaped clip adapted to be slipped into straddling relation with the waveguide and simultaneously inserted into a hole in the crossbar with a snap fit.

Abstract: A flare is formed on the end of a tubular waveguide of elliptical cross-section by first expanding a pair of flaring lugs along the major axis of the ellipse and then by expanding a second pair of flaring lugs along the minor axis of the ellipse.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for modifying a jet engine to be carried externally in an inoperative condition on an aircraft to minimize aerodynamic drag and oscillation of the engine. The apparatus includes an annular inlet extension adapted to be mounted to the operating air inlet which slightly extends and contracts the inlet to reduce air spillage. The disclosed method includes the removal of the fan blades from the fan section of the inlet, attaching an ice deflector dome to the engine core inlet, and attaching the inlet extension to the nacelle air inlet.
