Abstract: Application of oligonucleotide and polypeptide sequences of molecules of the family of the vascular permeability factor (VPF), their receptors, and co-receptors, as well as their modifications, in the active immunotherapy of pathologic entities in which course is associated to the increase of angiogenesis. These procedures can be employed in the single or combined therapy for the treatment of cancer and its metastasis, acute and chronic inflammatory processes, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, diabetic and newborn retinopathies, organ transplant rejection, macular degeneration, neovascular glaucoma, hemangioma, and angiofibroma, among others.

Abstract: A light-weight and low-power integrated system module suitable for installation at a passenger seat disposed aboard a passenger vehicle and methods for manufacturing and using same. By integrating selected interface system components with the associated interconnections, the integrated system module provides an intuitive user interface system for interacting with a passenger entertainment system. The integrated system module can be installed within a seatback of the passenger seat that compliments the look and feel of the user interface system, creating an immersive entertainment experience during travel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming an electrically and/or thermally conducting interconnection is disclosed wherein a first surface and a second surface are contacted with each other via a plurality of nanostructures disposed on at least one of the surfaces. In one embodiment, a first plurality of areas of nanostructures is disposed on a component in an electronics package such as, illustratively, a microprocessor. The first plurality of areas is then brought into contact with a corresponding second plurality of areas of nanostructures on a substrate, thus creating a strong friction bond. In another illustrative embodiment, a plurality of nanostructures is disposed on a component, such as a microprocessor, which is then brought into contact with a substrate. Intermolecular forces result in an attraction between the molecules of the nanostructures and the molecules of the substrate, thus creating a bond between the nanostructures and the substrate.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical microwave vacuum tube device is disclosed. The device consists of a cathode formed on a substrate, the cathode comprising electron emitters. A cathode emission control grid is also attached to the device substrate. The device further includes an output structure where amplified microwave power is removed from the device. In the device, the cathode surface and the grid surface are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the substrate. One of either the cathode, the grid, or both the cathode and the grid, are attached to the device substrate by one or more flexural members. The device further comprises an anode that is substantially parallel to the cathode surface and the grid surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides an interconnect. The interconnect comprises a pliable surface having a plurality of nanostructures disposed thereon, the pliable surface configured to allow the plurality of nanostructures to at least partially conform to a surface when the nanostructures come into contact therewith.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel N-substituted fluorooxindoles having the general Formula I wherein the wavy bond represents the racemate, the (R)-enantiomer or the (S)-enantiomer and m, n, p, q, A, B, D, Q, X, and Z are as defined below, or a nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof and are useful in the treatment of disorders which are responsive to the opening of potassium channels.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an electrode is disposed on a surface of a first portion of the dielectric, with the first portion and the electrode forming an electrode region of the device. A charge-dissipation structure is then formed by implanting ions into the electrode region and a second portion of the dielectric located outside of the electrode region. In another embodiment, a charge-dissipation structure is formed by implanting ions into the dielectric of a movable part of an electromechanical system. Advantageously, ion implantation can be performed without masking, lithography, or elevated temperatures; the electrical properties of the resulting charge dissipation structure can be controlled relatively easily; and portions of the charge dissipation structure are protected from oxidation and/or corrosion by the dielectric material.
