Abstract: dsRNAi oligonucleotides can be used in methods for the treatment of NASH, preferably the advanced fibrotic and/or cirrhotic stages thereof, using dosage regimens comprising a loading phase followed by a maintenance phase.

Abstract: Plastic material, which contains encapsulated cells, and also includes printing, various embodiments having printing in various places and various methods of printing and this combination of the physical material and the printing transforms the end products from wrapping used for shipping and protection of products from damages to also new useful and attractive products themselves as printed bubblewrap that while allowing for use for packaging also expands the use as products themselves such as for example character driven or branded toys or other consumer products themselves.

Abstract: The present invention relates to illumination display(s) and/or communication devices. The device may contain one (1) or more lights and/or light emitting members, which may be arranged in certain configuration(s) to simulate Body Parts, other parts, and/or Accessories in or on humans, animals, objects, things, Fantasy Creatures or characters or things. The lights and/or light emitting members may illuminate in patterns in response to internal or external signal(s), such as sound(s), or music, or audio, phrases, and/or words. The lights and/or light emitting members in the eye and mouth complexes may illuminate in patterns to simulate crying in humans, animals, objects, things, creatures, Fantasy Creatures, characters, and/or things, as well as other eye, mouth or other movement(s) displayed by humans, animals, objects, things, creatures, Fantasy Creatures, fantasy characters, and/or fantasy things when feeling different kind of emotions, such as happiness, excitement, painfulness, anger, and/or sadness.

Abstract: A luggage carrier is provided with a frame, handle, wheels, and pivotally mounted luggage support platform biased toward a storage position. A linkage arrangement is provided so that the wheels are pivoted to a collapsed, storage position when the platform moves to the storage position. In the storage position, the wheels overlap each other adjacent the frame. A latch is provided for holding the platform and wheels in the open, operative position. The frame is provided in a plurality of sections which can be unfolded to an extended configuration and locked into place. Release of the latch permits the platform and wheels to be automatically moved to the collapsed, storage position and permits one of the frame sections to be pivoted downwardly to a collapsed position.

Abstract: A fuel cell has a current collector plate (22) located between an electrode (20) and a separate plate (25). The collector plate has a plurality of arches (26, 28) deformed from a single flat plate in a checkerboard pattern. The arches are of sufficient height (30) to provide sufficient reactant flow area. Each arch is formed with sufficient stiffness to accept compressive load and sufficient resiliently to distribute the load and maintain electrical contact.

Abstract: A personal reading and writing light or illumination device having a tapered transparent body with an opening at one end for receiving an illumination source and with a discontinuity adjacent the opening to improve uniformity of illumination of the body and of a reading or writing work surface in contact with the body. The ends and sides of the body are configured or otherwise treated to maximize reflection and minimize illumination of adjacent areas.

Abstract: A tamper-indicating arrangement for a container is disclosed which functions to provide a clear visual indication that the container has been opened. The arrangement includes a closure which is adapted to be fitted to the container, and further includes first and second coacting means for respectively retaining the closure on the container in distinct first and second positions with respect to the container. In this way, the closure can be initially applied to the container in its first position, and can only be reapplied and retained on the container in a reoriented second position. Suitable indicia are preferably provided on the closure and the container for visually indicating reorientation of the closure from its first position to its second position.
