Abstract: The invention relates to an antifungal composition for the treatment of human nails containing extracts of walnut hull, pulverized roots of Nardostachys jatamansi or Vetiveria zizanioides or Catharanthus roseus, polyols, fixed oil, non-ionic emulsifiers, thickening agent plasticizer and base. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the above synergistic composition.

Abstract: An electrically powered vehicle includes an inverter mounted in the vehicle, the inverter having a plurality of high power IGBT modules for converting DC power to AC power for application to a plurality of AC electric motors connected in driving relationship to wheels on the vehicle. Each of the IGBT modules is mounted in thermal transfer relationship to an electrically isolated base plate and each base plate has a plurality of closely spaced, parallel slots formed across one surface with a plurality of fins fitted into the slots and extending from the base plate. The system includes apparatus for mounting the IGBT modules to a wall separating an electronics compartment from an air supply and air exhaust compartment. Air from an air supply plenum in the air supply compartment is directed into the fins extending from the IGBT base plate and exhaust through an exhaust conduit. The vehicle includes a blower to force air to flow through the fins extending from the base plate.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for retrieving information through a browser connected to a network. A first file of information is received which includes a first mark-up language to identify contents of the information, which contents include site identifiers. The site identifiers corresponding for example to file locations on the Internet. The first file is displayed in a browser window. Responsive to receiving the first file of information by the browser, the first file of information is parsed by a jumper to generate a list of site identifiers. This list of site identifiers is then stored by the jumper and displayed in a jumper window. Responsive to an activation by the user, a computer is directed to perform the following steps. The jumper determines which of the stored site identifiers is currently selected and automatically selects the next. Next the jumper directs the browser to access the file at the site corresponding to automatically selected site identifier.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved adenovirus vectors and packaging cell lines. One type of improved adenoviral vector comprises deletions within the E2b region of the adenoviral genome. These E2b-deleted virus are used in conjunction with novel cell lines that constitutively express E2b gene products. The present invention further provides adenoviral vectors deleted for all viral coding regions. These "gutted" vectors permit the transfer of large genes to cells as demonstrated herein by the transfer of the dystrophin gene to the muscle of mice. The E2b-deleted vectors and the gutted vectors provide improved adenoviral vectors useful for a wide variety of gene therapy applications.

Abstract: A monitoring system within a computing system is set out. The monitoring system monitors components within the computing system. The monitoring system includes a plurality of monitoring devices, a dedicated bus and a controller. The dedicated bus is dedicated for use by the monitoring devices. Each monitoring device is connected to the dedicated bus. The controller is also connected to the dedicated bus. The controller assigns addresses to each monitoring device, stores exception events, and reports the exception events to system software for the computing system.

Abstract: A rolling cutter drill bit comprises a body and three legs, each leg having a cantilevered bearing spindle, a rolling cutter rotatably mounted on the bearing spindle, lubricant delivering means within the beating spindle, and a floating thrust bearing element configured to carry onward thrust loads from the rolling cutter onto the bearing spindle. Each floating thrust bearing element is formed of a wrought alloy material consisting primarily of chromium carbide and cobalt and having a yield strength of less than 120,000 psi and a ductility of at least 4%, both at room temperature.

Abstract: A magnetic domain memory comprising a planar layer of magnetic material in which magnetic bubbles are moved by a rotating magnetic field in the plane of the layer. At least one circuit or path is provided for guiding the propagation of the bubbles in the layer. This path comprises an overlay pattern of magnetically soft material the periphery of which defines the travel of the bubbles. The surface area of the layer bounding the outside of the overlay pattern comprises an ion-implanted region. This magnetic bubble propagation circuit is made by forming a thin film pattern of a magnetically soft material, such as permalloy, on the surface of a layer of magnetic material, and then directing at the surface of this layer ions having a sufficiently high energy level so as to effect implantation thereof in the lattice structure of the magnetic layer while utilizing the pattern of magnetically soft material to block the ions from penetration of the magnetic layer underlying the pattern.
