Abstract: The present application provides a remote electrical tilt antenna management apparatus, system, and method, a remote controller, and a base station. The method includes: obtaining, by a remote control unit RCU, a first permission configuration file, where the first permission configuration file includes information about a first permission of a first base station to perform an operation on a first remote electrical tilt RET unit, and the first permission includes at least query or control; and configuring, by the RCU according to the first permission configuration file, the first permission of the first base station to perform an operation on the first RET. In this way, the first base station implements configuration of a management operation on the first RET, thereby implementing, by configuring different permission configuration files on the RCU, that a same base station manages different RETs, and further improving operability of managing a RET.

Abstract: In some aspects, plasma torch cutting systems can include a housing and a plasma torch power supply within the housing and configured to generate a signal that initiates generation of a plasma arc in a torch head, the power supply including an integrated circuit comprising a plurality of electronic components used to generate the signal that initiates generation of the plasma arc, at least one of the electronic components being at least partially formed of a wide bandgap semiconductor material.

Abstract: A method of reducing a weight of a subject includes administering to the subject in need thereof a composition comprised of fucoxanthin extract and at least one selected from the group consisting of tocotrienol, fucoidan and a combination thereof, wherein the subject is a mammal.

Abstract: A plasma cutting system is provided. The system includes a power source configured to generate a plasma arc, and a plasma arc torch connected to the power source for delivering the plasma arc to a workpiece. The plasma arc torch defines a multi-function fluid flow path for sustaining the plasma arc and cooling the plasma arc torch such that the plasma cutting system has a power-to-gas flow ratio of at least 2 kilowatts per cubic feet per minute (KW/cfm). The power-to-gas flow ratio comprises a ratio of power of the generated plasma arc to a total gas flow supplied to the plasma arc torch.

Abstract: The application relates to a use of black soybean hull extracts in the manufacture of foods, health care products and medicaments. The black soybean hull extracts can be added to foods or drinks, and also can be made into all kinds of oral health care products and oral medicaments used by conventional methods of preparing traditional Chinese medicine preparations. The products can significantly improve symptoms of osteoarthritis, and also can stabilize or even reverse the degradation of cartilage of osteoarthritis.

Abstract: A method of determining a failure event of consumable for a plasma torch is provided. The method includes monitoring at least one of an operating current or an operating voltage during a transfer arc mode of the plasma arc torch. The method also includes determining when at least one parameter associated with the operating current or the operating voltage exceeds a tolerance threshold for a time period indicative of the failure event. The method further includes shutting off at least one of the operating current or the operating voltage of the plasma arc torch when the at least one parameter exceeds the tolerance threshold for the time period.

Abstract: Compounds having the structure of general formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which are derivatives of fucoxanthin and fucoxanthol are disclosed. A preparation method of the compound and its use in weight reducing are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, including vectors, and methods for the rapid subcloning of nucleic acid sequences in vivo and in vitro. In particular, the invention provides vectors used to contain a gene of interest that comprise a sequence-specific recombinase target site. These vectors are used to rapidly transfer the gene or genes of interest into any vector that contains a sequence-specific recombinase target site located downstream of a regulatory element so that the gene of interest may be regulated.

Abstract: Methods for making siRNA comprise recombinantly coexpressing a Dicer protein with an R2D2 protein to form a complex comprising the R2D2 protein and the Dicer protein, and contacting the complex with a double-stranded (ds) RNA under conditions wherein the complex cleaves the dsRNA into siRNA. The R2D2 protein may be a Drosophila R2D2 protein and the Dicer protein may be a Drosophila Dicer-2 protein. The Dicer protein and the R2D2 protein may be coexpressed in insect cells, such as S2, Sf9 or Hi5 cells, using a baculovirus expression system.
