Abstract: A method for inducing reprogramming of a cell of a first type which is not a non-hepatocyte (non-hepatocyte cell), into a cell with functional hepatic drug metabolizing and transporting capabilities, is disclosed. The non-hepatocyte is induced to express or overexpress hepatic fate conversion and maturation factors, cultured in somatic cell culture medium, hepatocyte cell culture medium and hepatocyte maturation medium for a sufficient period of time to convert the non-hepatocyte cell into a cell with hepatocyte-like properties. The iHeps induced according to the methods disclosed herein are functional induced hepatocytes (iHeps) in that they express I and II drug-metabolizing enzymes and phase III drug transporters and show superior drug metabolizing activity compared to iHeps obtained by prior art methods. The iHeps thus provide a cell resource for pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract: The invention provides processes of preparing a peptide including a GCC agonist sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-249 described herein.

Abstract: A shaped abrasive particle including a body having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a side surface joined to the first major surface and the second major surface, and the body has at least one partial cut extending from the side surface into the interior of the body.

Abstract: An apparatus to create decorative artwork on the back of a cell phone protector case including a cell phone protector case having at least a partially transparent back wall with a partially transparent interior surface, a decorative inset card with a decorative image thereon and one or more colored rhinestones which are affixed on the back of the cell phone protector case at the location where the multicolored image is shown through so that the color of the rhinestone matches the color of the image on the decorative insert card which shows through the transparent back wall and transparent interior wall.

Abstract: The invention provides processes of purifying a peptide including a GCC agonist sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-251 described herein. The processes include a solvent exchange step before a freeze-drying (lyophilization) step.

Abstract: A cell phone protector case having a soft silicone interior to retain the cell phone in a safe and operative manner. A key unique feature of the present invention cell phone protector case is to connect the inside soft silicone interior and the outside hard plastic protective shell through an innovative mechanism wherein the soft silicon interior has slot openings and the front and back exterior hard plastic shell members have retaining member clips that are inserted into and retained within the receiving openings within the soft silicone interior so that the soft silicone interior has an all around protection on the inside and absorbs shocks while the exterior front and back hard plastic members protect the front and back of the cell phone or any other portable electronic device retained within the protective case.

Abstract: A control circuit is connected between a motherboard and a number of hard disks for controlling power and data transmission of the number of hard disks. Each hard disk corresponds to one power control unit and one data control unit. The power control unit controls power transmission to the corresponding hard disk. The data control unit controls data transmission of the corresponding hard disk. When one hard disk is selected as an operation object to enter a disable state, the data control unit cuts off data transmission of the selected hard disk before the power control unit cuts off power transmission of the operation object. When the hard disk is selected as an operation object to enter an enable state, the power control unit resets the power transmission to the operation object before the data control unit resets data transmission of the operation object.

Abstract: A cell phone protector case including a combination of an interior hard shell and an exterior soft shell with three protrusion visible on each side o the rear surface of the exterior soft shell.

Abstract: A method for loading a configuration file from a remote server to an electronic device includes obtaining a default configuration file from the remote server, and executing the default configuration file to boot the electronic device, identifying a corresponding MAC list in the remote server according to hardware configurations of the electronic device, and obtaining a specific MAC value corresponding to an unused status flag from the MAC list. The method further includes obtaining a default MAC value of a network card of the electronic device, replacing the default MAC value of the network card with the specific MAC value, obtaining a specific configuration file from the remote server according to the specific MAC value, and rebooting the electronic device according to the specific configuration file.

Abstract: A computing device and method determines a position of a disk when the disk works abnormally. The computer searches out problem disks by determining if each disk included in the just a bundle of disks (JBOD) works normally, and determining if the computer can obtain a serial number of each problem disk. The computer notifies a user of the order number of the problem disk and an order number of the JBOD, in response to a determination that the computer can obtain serial number of the problem disk. The computer obtains the order number of the problem disk by deleting the data of the disk that works normally from the disk table, and notifying the user of the order number of the disk and the order number of the JBOD, in response to a determination that the computer fails to obtain serial number of the problem disk.
