  • Publication number: 20140010837
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions, and kits for preventing, inhibiting, reducing the severity of, or treating a disease or condition. A pharmaceutical composition provided herein can comprise a nucleic acid sequence encoding an antigen fused to an immune cell product, e.g., MIP-3?, and an adjuvant. The antigen can be from a bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite, or cancer. The antigen can be an Alzheimer's disease antigen.

  • Publication number: 20130169196
    Abstract: This system provides a wide range of smooth and precisely controlled low and high speeds for pan-tilt-zoom surveillance cameras, in which a brushless motor is controlled by a Microcontroller in a low speed mode by sinusoidal synchronous commutation, in a high speed mode by block commutation, and in in a transition phase from the low speed mode to the high speed mode by modulating integrated pulse-width modulation (PWM) square waves with sine waves. PID and lookup table registers are used by a microcontroller for a smooth transition from high speed mode to low speed mode, and from low speed mode to high speed mode, phase locking a sine position during transitions, in order to give a surveillance camera an ability to quickly move from one target to another at up to 100 degrees per second yet track objects that are moving very slowly.

  • Publication number: 20090317404
    Abstract: A vaginal microbicide including scFv-type antibodies reduces or prevents transepithelial HIV transmission. As the antibodies, anti-CD 18 and/or anti-CD 11 antibodies (of the scFv type) are used. Preferably, anti-ICAM antibody also is used. The antibodies may be delivered to the to-be-protected epithelium using a bacterial delivery system such as a lactobacillus bacterial vehicle. HIV transepithelial transmission can thereby be reduced or prevented, including prevention of initial infection.

  • Patent number: 6802727
    Abstract: This device is advantageous for connecting an electronic circuit card to a test system to inspect the assembled electronic circuit card without damage to the mating connector thereon. A toggle actuated pressing member supports an electrical connector and a flex cable which, in turn, is connected to an electronic device. The pressing member or slide member may be moved toward a mating electrical connector attached to an electronic circuit card, aligned with the connector on the slide member, and forced into a connected condition therewith. The controlled action of the slide block and the connector supported thereon effect connection of the connectors without creating stresses that may damage the electronic circuit card or the connector thereon. A connector supported by the slide block is disconnected by moving the slide block away from the electronic circuit card and, by permitting spring-biased foot blocks to hold the electronic circuit card against movement until after disengagement occurs.
