  • FIN HEAT EXCHANGER FOR CLOTHES WASHING MACHINE OR CLOTHES DRYER, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
    Publication number: 20180335260
    Abstract: A fin heat exchanger comprises a set of fins and a heat exchange tube alternating with the set of fins. A metal tube is bent multiple times and then folded at least once to form at least two columns of bent tubing, and then the heat exchange tube is inserted as a whole into the set of fins. In the heat exchanger, no damage resulting from a need for welding is caused to the heat exchange tube, thus the integrity of the heat exchange tube is protected; when a heat-exchange fluid flows through an integrated heat exchange tube, no impact damage is caused to the heat exchange tube as a result of a large fluid impact force, and no leaking of the fluid medium is caused by high-temperature fluid flowing into the heat exchange tube; the heat exchange performance of the heat exchange tube is guaranteed.

  • Automatic vetting of web applications to be listed in a marketplace for web applications
    Patent number: 10068270
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing an online marketplace to developers of web applications that may be downloaded from the marketplace to a client computing device for execution by a browser executing on the client device and receiving a request from a party to the marketplace to list a proposed web application for sale in the marketplace. One or more processors of a computer system automatically determine the permissions requested by the proposed web application and automatically determine if the permissions match one or more predetermined permissions. If the permissions match one or more predetermined permissions, then the proposed application is flagged for a manual vetting process before listing the proposed application in the marketplace, and if they do not match, then the proposed application is listed in the marketplace without manual review of the application.

  • Auto video preview within a digital magazine
    Patent number: 10003842
    Abstract: A computer implemented method enables presenting interesting and informative preview video of a video content item in a digital magazine. The method comprises steps of receiving a video content item from a content provider, e.g., a 2-minute video advertisement for a car from an advertiser, and analyzing the video content item. The video content item is segmented into multiple segments based on the analysis, e.g., scene changes detected with the video frames of the video content item. One or more segments are selected, e.g., based on their associated visual quality, and are combined to generate a preview video, e.g., a 10-second long video highlighting new features of the car. One or more transition segments can be added between segments to enhance user experience with the preview video. The preview video is provided to a client device for display and auto playback.

  • ANNEXIN A2 AS IMMUNOLOGICAL TARGET
    Publication number: 20170258881
    Abstract: AnnexinA2 (ANXA2), a member of the Annexin family of calcium-dependent, phospholipid binding proteins, is one of a panel of identified antigens recognized by the post-vaccination sera of patients who demonstrated prolonged disease-free survival following multiple vaccinations. AnnexinA2 is abundantly expressed in pancreatic adenocarcinomas and cell surface/membrane AnnexinA2 increases with the progression from premalignant lesions to invasive pancreatic adenocarcinomas. The cytoplasmic to cell surface translocation of AnnexinA2 expression is critical for pancreatic cancer cell invasion. In addition, phosphorylation of AnnexinA2 at Tyrosine 23 is important for its localization to the cell surface and for the invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. Finally, loss of AnnexinA2 leads to the loss of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.
