Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing hybrid or non-hybrid recombinant glycoprotein hormones, for example the recombinant equine chorionic gonadotropin (r-eCG), the hybrid recombinant chorionic gonadotropin, the recombinant thyroid-stimulating hormone (r-TSH), the recombinant luteinizing hormone (r-LH), the luteinizing hormone and the recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (r-FSH). In addition, the present disclosure relates to the recombinant glycoprotein hormones comprising the equine ? and ? subunits, inter alia, the ? subunit of mammals and equine ? subunit, where the two subunits are fused in a simple chain, and chain-modifying agents, which hormones are easier to purify, more homogeneous, easier to produce on an industrial scale without using animals, in comparison with the wild glycoprotein hormone.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and composition for the treatment or therapy of spinal cord injury, the composition comprising a total secretome, obtainable from mesenchymal stem cells. The composition is suitable for systemic delivery, preferably intravenous systemic delivery.

Abstract: Counterbalance assemblies include a torsion bar spring for counter-balancing the weight of upwardly opening aircraft doors for ease of opening and closing. The torsion bar spring may be linked to the aircraft door through an integrated gear reduction system comprised of two pairs of spur gears and respective shafts as well as a linkage assembly. A cable reel is connected to the output shaft and the input shaft is connected to a four bar linkage system attached to the end of the torsion bar. The cable reel stores the lift cable and provides the output torque to lift the aircraft door. When the aircraft door opens or closes, the center of mass loses or gains height respectively, causing a variation of gravitational potential energy. In such a manner, the gravitational potential energy is exchanged with strain elastic energy from the counter-balance spring therefore reducing the required external source of energy whether it is from a power assisted means or manual operation.

Abstract: A method for generating an interactions explorer for a user interface prototype comprising detecting one or more prototyping actions while a user creates a user interface prototype, adding the one or more prototyping actions to an interaction hierarchy and generating an interactive visual depiction of the interaction hierarchy.

Abstract: The present system enables the monitoring and automatic control of the tolerance in splice overlap of textile play , though the identification of the overlap area, identification and counting of textile cords in the overlap area, and the generation of a control signal for the manufacturing equipment based on parameters and criteria defined by a user. The system includes an image acquisition sub-assembly that contains a lighting module, artificial vision module, and respective elements of support, fixation, conditioning and adjustment. The system also includes a quality control computer program that has a module of morphologic image analysis for detection and recognition of the overlap of the ply, detecting and counting of cords in the overlap area, a module of support to the decision of acceptance/rejection of the ply based on parameters defined by the user and a module of an interface with production equipment.
