  • Rage protein derivatives
    Publication number: 20090202542
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to fusion proteins comprising a Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) and an immunoglobulin element. The invention also encompasses methods of treating a condition characterized by activation of an inflammatory cytokine cascade comprising administering such fusion proteins. The invention is also drawn to nucleic acids encoding the fusion proteins, as well as vectors and cells comprising such nucleic acids.
    Type: Application

  • Flexure suspension assembly
    Patent number: 4100813
    Abstract: A flexure suspension assembly is provided for coupling the rotatable spin shaft and flywheel of gyroscopes of the type having relative angular rotation between the shaft and flywheel about two precession axes orthogonally related to the spin axis. A cylindrical central spin shaft mounting member is coupled by a first pair of single axis flexure joints to a first bifurcated gimbal member to permit angular rotation of the gimbal about one precession axis and is coupled by a second pair of single axis flexure joints to a second bifurcated gimbal member to permit angular rotation of the second gimbal about the other precession axis. The gimbal members are interleaved and form segments of an annulus concentrically disposed about the central mounting member.
