Abstract: Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) such as PTP1B can play a role in regulating a wide variety of cellular responses such as insulin signaling. Substituted bicyclic fused-thiophene compounds can inhibit PTP1B and thereby induce greater insulin sensitivity. Accordingly, PTP1B inhibition can provide an alternate treatment for PTPase-mediated disorders such as diabetes.

Abstract: DVB-T receivers and methods may provide automatic detection of spectrum inversion using continual pilot correlation. A DVB-T receiver may include a demodulator, a fast Fourier transformation (FFT) unit, and a spectrum inversion detector. The demodulator may demodulate a received DVB-T digital signal according to a spectrum inversion signal, and the FFT unit may perform fast Fourier transformation (FFT) on the demodulated signal. The spectrum inversion detector may calculate continual pilot correlation values for the FFT-processed signal and may generate the spectrum inversion signal to indicate whether spectrum inversion has occurred according to the calculated correlation values. The DVB-T receiver may perform normal correlation and position inversion correlation on continual pilots using a spectrum inversion detector to automatically detect whether spectrum inversion has occurred. Related methods are also discussed.

Abstract: A method of performing parallel image reconstruction of undersampled image data in k-space. A defined partitioning of a k-space region into a plurality of segments is received. A segment of the plurality of segments is identified wherein data is sampled at less than a Nyquist rate. First imaging data is sampled at the Nyquist rate. A reconstruction coefficient is calculated for at least a portion of the identified segment using the sampled first imaging data. Second imaging data is sampled at less than the Nyquist rate. A value for a missing k-space sample in the identified segment is predicted using the calculated reconstruction coefficient and the sampled second imaging data. An image of the image area is defined using the predicted value and the received second dataset.

Abstract: An optical disc driver includes a tray (20) and a driver housing (30). A locating cylinder (328) is formed at a rear of the driver housing. A through slot (329) is defined vertically in the middle of the locating cylinder, and divides the locating cylinder into two parts. A locating slot (228) is defined at a rear end of the tray, and an opening (229) is defined between a rear edge of the tray and the locating slot. The width of the opening is wider than that of the locating slot, and the opening broadens as it nears the rear edge of the tray, allowing the locating cylinder to be easily received and guided into the locating slot. This arrangement allows the tray to be firmly positioned in the driver housing.

In response to the software application executing again, the translated GUI component text is loaded from the translated localization pack file. The GUI component is displayed with the translated GUI component text.

Abstract: A shoulder supported, hand directed automotive grease gun in which a reciprocating piston transfers fluid from a supply tube to an outlet conduit. A battery powered motor and gear transmission rotate a disc on which is mounted an eccentric pin. The pin forcibly moves a piston holder between low friction parallel guides so as to advance the piston with its transferred fluid toward the outlet conduit. A first spring constantly biases the piston holder toward the pin so that the piston reciprocates rapidly as the disc rotates. An adjustable spring-loaded ball seal unit with an adjustable spring seat controls flow of the fluid. A fluid supply tube heating device alters fluid density to also control fluid flow. An auxiliary shoulder strap relieves pressure on an operator's wrist and transfers backpressure and tool weight to the operators body.
