Abstract: A system and kit for dissipating heat generated by a motor assembly and methods for manufacturing and using same. The motor assembly includes a housing that defines an internal chamber. The internal chamber communicates with an air inlet and an air outlet each being formed in the housing, and can at least partially receive motor inner workings. A pump assembly can be included in the internal chamber for generating an air flow during operation of the motor assembly. The pump assembly can draw air into the internal chamber via the air inlet, generating an air flow within the internal chamber. The air drawn into the internal chamber is applied to the motor inner workings, and the air heated by the motor inner workings is expelled from the internal chamber via the air outlet. Thereby, the air flow advantageously can cool the motor assembly as the air traverses the internal chamber.

It also relates to a method for aiding in categorising or determining prognosis in a breast cancer patient or in selecting a therapeutic strategy comprising assessing the level of IRAK1 nucleic acid, protein or activity in a sample and, in some aspects, further assessing the paclitaxel resistance status of the patient and if the patient is resistant to paclitaxel therapy, treating the patient with an inhibitor of IRAK1 activity. In addition, a screening method for identifying a compound useful for treating breast cancer comprises determining the effect of a test compound on IRAK1 nucleic acid, protein or activity level and selecting a compound that reduces said level.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are field-effect transistors with asymmetric gate stacks. An example transistor includes a channel material and an asymmetric gate stack, provided over a portion of the channel material between source and drain (S/D) regions. The gate stack is asymmetric in that a thickness of a gate dielectric of a portion of the gate stack closer to one of the S/D regions is different from that of a portion of the gate stack closer to the other S/D region, and in that a work function (WF) material of a portion of the gate stack closer to one of the S/D regions is different from a WF material of a portion of the gate stack closer to the other S/D region. Transistors as described herein exploit asymmetry in the gate stacks to improve the transistor performance in terms of high breakdown voltage, high gain, and/or high output resistance.
