Abstract: A battery pack for an electrical device including a housing having a first housing portion defining a first compartment and a second housing portion defining a second compartment, a plurality of battery cells disposed within the first compartment and configured to supply power to the electrical device, a circuit board disposed within the first compartment and including a heat generating component, and a heat sink coupled to the second housing portion and disposed adjacent the heat generating component. The heat sink includes a first portion extending toward the heat generating component and disposed within the first compartment, and a second portion extending away from the heat generating component and disposed within the second compartment.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of use of analogs of quinic acids or shikimic acids for protection from the harmful effects of radiation when administered either prior to radiation exposure, after radiation exposure, or both. These methods are useful for treating humans and animals exposed to radiation and at risk for radiation sickness and/or death as the result of radiation exposure.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds comprising analogs of quinic acids or shikimic acids having anti-inflammatory properties. The compounds are suitable for oral administration, stable, and demonstrate significant efficacy in inhibiting NF-kB, inhibiting leukocyte adhesion, and inhibiting other factors and cytokines known to be involved in inflammatory disease.

Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes an observation unit, a movable base, a platform, a pair of tracks mounted on two sides of the platform, and a console. The observation unit is slidably mounted on the movable base. The movable base is a bridge structure. Each end of the movable base is slidably mounted on each one of the pair of tracks. The movable base slides on the pair of tracks along an X-axis of the platform. The observation unit slides on the movable base along a Y-axis of the platform. The observation unit includes a camera. The camera is moveable relative to the observation unit along a Z-axis of the platform.

Abstract: A measuring device, includes a guiding rail, a sliding unit levitatedly slidably engaged with the guiding rail, and a measuring unit fixed to the sliding unit and comprising at least one dial gauge mounted thereto.
