Abstract: Described herein is a fluid dispensing device that enables rapid fluid mixing of separate solutions prior to dispensing. Also described herein are methods of using and manufacturing the fluid dispensing device. The fluid dispensing device is useful with a variety of reactive and/or concentrated formulations, including cleaning formulations.

Abstract: A stabilized flour, such as stabilized whole grain wheat flour, exhibiting unexpectedly superior extended shelf life and superior biscuit baking functionality, may be produced with or without heating to inhibit lipase by subjecting whole grains or a bran and germ fraction or component to treatment with a lipase inhibitor, such as an acid or green tea extract. Treatment with the lipase inhibitor may be performed during tempering of the whole grains or berries or during hydration of the bran and germ fraction or component.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for dynamic power reduction in ultrasound systems are described. Subsystems including a first subsystem to be placed in a reduced power consumption state are determined. The first subsystem includes a receive path having a receiver to receive acoustic signals representing echoes. A control subsystem to control clocking of the receive path in response to at least one of a plurality of real-time signals is determined. The control subsystem is configured to provide one or more clocks to the receive path to turn on the receiver while valid echo signals are expected to arrive at the receiver At least one of the plurality of real-time signals indicates a state of imaging operations. The control subsystem is configured to provide one or more clocks to the receive path during a first mode based on the state of the imaging operations.

Abstract: A site light including a body, a handle assembly coupled to the body and including one or more handle portions, an arm having a first end fixedly coupled to the body and a second end opposite the first end to define an arm length therebetween, where the second end of the arm is movable relative to the body to adjust the arm length. The site light also includes a light assembly coupled to and movable together with the second end of the arm relative to the body where the arm defines an arm axis, and where the handle assembly surrounds the arm axis.

Abstract: Provided herein, in certain aspects, are antibodies that bind to T cell receptor (TCR) V?9 (TRGV9), TCR V?2 (TRDV2), or the TCR gamma/delta constant region (TRGDC), as well as recombinant cells containing the vectors, and compositions comprising the antibodies. Methods of making and using the antibodies are also provided.

Abstract: Anti-V?17 antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof are described. Also described are nucleic acids encoding the antibodies, compositions comprising the antibodies, methods of producing the antibodies, and methods of using the antibodies for treating or preventing diseases.

Abstract: A dynamic power reduction method and apparatus for use in an ultrasound system are described.

Abstract: A reconstructed image is rendered from a set of MRI data by first estimating an image with an area which does not contain artifacts or has an artifact with a relative small magnitude. Corresponding data elements in the estimated image and a trial image are processed, for instance by multiplication, to generate an intermediate data set. The intermediate data set is transformed and minimized iteratively to generate a reconstructed image that is free or substantially free of artifacts. In one embodiment a Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) is used. A sparsifying transformation may be applied to generate the reconstructed image. The sparsifying transformation may be also not be applied.

Abstract: A vibration dampener for use on top-drive rotary drills. The apparatus of the present invention comprises a generally cylindrical housing having a cylindrical side, a top, a bottom, and a central divider plate. The top of the housing has an externally threaded bore therethrough which may be connected to the rotary drive of the drill. A central, coaxial tube is slidably received within the housing. The downward end of this tube may be connected to the drill pipe, and the tube thus provides a conduit through which air may be forced.A generally circular compression plate is connected within the housing to the central tube so as to be adjacent and substantially parallel to the bottom of the housing. A resilient pad is positioned between the compression plate and the central divider plate such that an upward force on the central tube causes the compression plate to be lifted and the resilient pad to be compressed between the compression plate and the divider plate.

Abstract: A roller reamer/stabilizer apparatus for use on a drill string assembly. The apparatus includes a reamer body which has a number of pockets formed in the body. A cutter assembly is anchored in each pocket. The cutter assembly includes a bearing pin on which two bearing blocks are mounted with a reamer cutter mounted in between the two bearing blocks. The entire cutter assembly is first assembled and is then placed in a corresponding pocket of the reamer body. The cutter assembly is secured within the pocket by means of pull pins which are inserted transversely through the reamer body so as to engage corresponding holes which are formed in the bearing blocks of the cutter assembly. The pull pins are secured by means of snap rings that can be easily removed so that the pull pins can then be retracted to permit the cutter assembly to be replaced after it is worn.
