  • Patent number: 9389232
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to polypeptides present in a vaccinia virus (e.g., polypeptides that can be isolated from naturally processed and presented class I polypeptides originating from vaccinia virus, a member of the Orthopoxvirus family). For example, methods for generating a vaccine comprising one or more of vaccinia virus polypeptides disclosed herein for preventing or treating Orthopoxvirus infection are provided. In addition, kits related to the use of vaccinia polypeptides are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2016

  • Publication number: 20110091860
    Abstract: A magnetic glass dry erase board including a glass sheet, a metal sheet and an adhesive layer. The glass sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface. The metal sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface. The adhesive layer substantially covers the inner surface of the glass sheet and the outer surface of the metal sheet to retain the glass sheet in a stationary relationship with respect to the metal sheet. The adhesive layer also enhances a strength of the glass sheet and protects persons from injury if the glass sheet is broken by retaining glass pieces on the metal sheet.

  • Patent number: 7360997
    Abstract: A coated fan rotor blade and method for coating a fan rotor blade. The coated fan rotor blade includes a fan rotor blade; and a coating disposed on said fan rotor blade. The coating comprises a binder; and a filler made up of a plurality of particles. The filler material is incorporated into the binder material, and the particles in the filler interact to produce vibrational damping. In particular, the coating includes small, dense, flattened particles or plates that are incorporated into a thin layer of visco-elastic material, such as rubber, silicone, fluoro-elastomer, or urethane and bonded to the surface of the rotor blade to provide damping of high frequency excitation.
