Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection-locked RF receiver having trifilar transformer splitter. The injection-locked RF receiver includes a trifilar transformer splitter, an injection-locked oscillator and a phase detector. The trifilar transformer splitter includes a primary winding, a secondary winding and a tertiary winding. RF input signal is input to the primary winding. The secondary winding outputs a first differential signal to the injection-locked oscillator. The tertiary winding outputs a second differential signal to the phase detector. Using the trifilar transformer splitter of the invention, the frequency-shift keying demodulation with high sensitivity is achieved, and the number of amplifier can be reduced so as to lower the power consumption of the injection-locked RF receiver and reduce the complexity of the involved system.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the identification and isolation of novel MHC class II epitopes derived from the cancer antigen, NY ESO-1. The novel MHC class II epitopes from NY-EsO-1 are recognized by CD4+ T lymphocytes in an HLA class II restricted manner, in particular HLA-DR or HLA-DP restricted. The products of the gene are promising candidates for immunotherapeutic strategies for the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of patients with cancer.

Abstract: An advanced copper bonding with ceramic substrate technology includes the steps of (1) forming a copper film of thickness <1 ?m on a ceramic substrate by sputtering deposition under 1.33×10?3 torr and 150° C., (2) plating a copper layer of thickness 10˜50 ?m at room temperature, and (3) bonding a copper foil to the ceramic substrate by diffusion bonding under environments of high temperature, vacuum, and negative pressure inertia gas or H2 partial pressure.

Abstract: A lace winding device includes a base, a spool rotatably mounted in the base, a lace having two distal ends each extending through the base and each secured on the spool, a limit barrel mounted on the base, a drive member rotatably mounted in the limit barrel and connected with the spool to rotate the spool, and a ratchet block movably mounted on the limit barrel and engaging the drive member. Thus, the drive member is rotated in one direction only by limit of the ratchet block so that the spool is driven by the drive member to rotate in the positive direction only and cannot be rotated in the opposite direction so as to wind the lace easily and quickly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a two-phase flow heat sink. The two-phase flow heat sink comprises an evaporation chamber and a capillary layer. The material of the capillary layer, which has at least a porous structure, is cooled and disposed on the inner side of the evaporation chamber from a melted state. The method first sprays the thermally melted material of the capillary layer on the substrate of the evaporation chamber for forming the capillary layer on the substrate. Because the capillary layer is sprayed on the substrate of the evaporation chamber, the capillary layer is distributed irregularly on the substrate and forming irregularly distributed holes. Thereby, the flowing space for fluids in the evaporation chamber is increased, and hence enhancing the heat transfer efficiency of the heat sink.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the enhancement of immune response to microbial infection and/or inflammation-associated disease through at least partial inhibition of NLRC5. The inhibition may be of any suitable means, although in particular cases it is via siRNA agents. In specific embodiments, a particular domain of NLRC5 is targeted by the siRNA.

Abstract: CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells profoundly suppress host immune responses and thus protect against autoimmune disease while restricting desired immune responses such as antitumor immunity. Synthetic phosphorothioate-protected, guanosine-containing oligonucleotides can directly reverse the suppressive activity of Treg cells without involving dendritic cells. This effect appears to be transduced by signaling through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 and engagement of the MyD88 and IRAK4 molecules in Treg cells. Stimulation of Treg cells with natural ligands for human TLR8 recapitulated the effect of the synthetic guanosine-containing oligonucleotides .
