Abstract: Modified connecting rod journals containing a first cylindrical portion and a second cylindrical portion can be used in a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine used in a gas compression system. These modified journals allow multiple stroke lengths for the pistons of the system thereby increasing system efficiency.

Abstract: Provided are ulinastatin glycoforms, ulinastatin fusion polypeptides, and related compositions, mixtures, and methods of use, including methods of recombinantly producing ulinastatin polypeptides and treating diseases.

Abstract: Provided are dosage forms of one or more tissue kallikrein-1 (KLK1) polypeptides which have a total KLK1 polypeptide dosage of about 0.1 ?g/kg to about 10.0 ?g/kg, including subcutaneous and intravenous dosage forms. Also provided are related devices and methods of use thereof, for example, for treating ischemic and hemorrhagic conditions.

Abstract: Provided are methods of using human tissue kallikrein-1 (KLK1) to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients having salt-sensitive hypertension and low KLK1 levels, including methods of identifying and treating optimal sub-populations of CKD patients based on selected genotypes and/or phenotypes.

Abstract: Provided are ulinastatin glycoforms, ulinastatin fusion polypeptides, and related compositions, mixtures, and methods of use, including methods of recombinantly producing ulinastatin polypeptides and treating diseases.

Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions comprising ulinastatin polypeptides for treating diseases associated with elevated neutrophil elastase (NE), including NE-associated lung and skin diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control system for a building zone which is climate conditioned by a climate conditioning system, wherein the climate conditioning system controls at least one climate parameter in the building zone, the climate parameter being at least one of: temperature (T) and humidity (RH). The control system is configured to provide a climate parameter target to a building management system. The climate parameter target is determined dynamically based on current sensor measurements while taking energy, thermal comfort and preservation requirements into account. Namely, rather than continuously steering the climate parameter to reach a preset value, some ‘free-running’ of the climate parameter is allowed by calculating a permissible range for the climate parameter, which reduces active climate conditioning and thereby contributes to energy savings. To further take preservation requirements into account, the rate of change in the climate parameter is limited to a maximum.

Abstract: A medical device mounting system is disclosed for connecting a medical device suite to ceiling support structure. The system includes a plurality of portions connected to form a box beam structure that has high strength and high rigidity to withstand substantial bending loads associated with heavy medical device suites. The system includes a structure connection portion for engaging ceiling structure, a central mounting panel portion, and a base plate portion for engaging the medical device suite at or above the ceiling panel level. The mounting panel portion includes multiple mounting panels formed into a box beam shape. The base plate portion forms an egg-crate structure. The structure connection portion includes a plurality of tubular members that connect to longitudinal members of the mounting panel portion, and a plurality of plate portions that facilitate fixation of the assembly to ceiling structure. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A vine training system is disclosed, including an improved vineyard stake. The system includes a vineyard stake, a training wire, and end posts for holding tension in the wire. A plurality of vineyard stakes are positioned between the end posts to keep the wire a desired distance above the ground. The stake engages the wire via openings in the tube wall. The openings include a central horizontal leg and oppositely disposed vertical legs, such that the legs form a tab therebetween. The wire is receivable in the opening, and the tab retains the wire to fix it to the stake. This engagement is achieved without the use of clips. The stake can include a plurality of openings so that the wire can be positioned and repositioned at any of a variety of distances above the ground, to accommodate vine growth. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Method, system and processing system for associating text messages and/or uniform resource locator (URL) link data with images created by an image capture device such as a camera. Resource locator links displayed along with the images are activated at the image capture device or at a host processing system to establish communications links and access to remote resources, such as a Web pages, that are associated with the activated resource locator links.

Abstract: Machine-readable information provided on a printed document in the form of printed marks which are not visually perceptible to the human eye. The printed marks are of a combination of sufficiently small size and selected color which renders the printed marks visually imperceptible to the human eye, yet easily detectable by a machine such as a scanner. The printed marks are dispersed across portions of or all of the printed document in selected patterns for encoding information, such as in a bar code, or the information may merely be printed text. The marks representing the information are printed in unused blank space between or surrounding existing text and other images on the printed document thus avoiding the use of any additional surface area of the media.
