Abstract: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) conjugates comprising at least one or more amino acid substitutions that bias binding to the IL-2 receptor ??c dimer over binding the IL-2 receptor ???c trimer and a non-natural amino acid at or near the N-terminus conjugated to a water-soluble polymer are described. The IL-2 conjugates are useful for treatment and prevention of cell proliferation and cancer in a patient.

Abstract: An air register knob assembly comprises a vane having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a knob having a main body. The main body is slidably connected to only the first side of the vane.

Abstract: A vane adjustment device for an air register having a front vane and a rear vane is disclosed. The vane adjustment device comprises a rear vane connector rotatably connected to the rear vane about a first axis, an intermediate connector rotatably connected to the rear vane connector about a second axis different with the first axis, and a front vane connector rotatably connected to the front vane, the front vane connector including a sliding portion slidably and rotatably connected to the intermediate connector.

Abstract: An apparatus to apply a foam seal to a part is provided. The apparatus comprises a receiving device to secure the part, a loading device and a driving device to drive the loading device. The receiving device includes a housing, a first rod coupled to the housing and at least partially disposed in the housing and a resilient member connected between the housing and the first rod at a radial direction. The loading device includes an actuating member and a holding member to hold the foam seal. The driving device is configured to move the loading device between a loading position and an application position and further drive the actuating member and the holding member to rotate around an axis parallel to the first rod. The actuation member contacts the housing while rotating and the foam seal on the holding member contacts the part at the application position.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to monitor event information relating to an event broadcasted to an audience of a social networking system. The event information can include users who are participating in the event. It can be determined that a predetermined entity is participating in the event. A notification that the predetermined entity is participating in the event is provided during the event to at least one of a broadcaster of the event and a user participating in the event.

Abstract: An air outlet assembly comprises an air housing for air flowing through; a retainer connected to the air housing; a plurality of vanes disposed on the retainer, spaced apart each other and rotatably connected to the retainer; and a sliding link. The sliding link is disposed on an inner surface of the air housing, adjacent to the retainer, coupled with each of the vanes and configured to be slidable on the inner surface so as to orient each of the vanes relative to the air housing.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for the remote design of an electric motor (e.g. an AC or DC motor) by a customer through an interactive Web-based process. A typical system includes a Web server capable of delivering an interactive web page to a remote system. The web page includes one or more input fields allowing a user to specify motion performance requirement values applied to a design algorithm. The user may specify only some of the possible performance values. The design algorithm generates electric motor design parameters which will achieve the desired performance values. The algorithm also performs a parametric search through an existing parts database for at least some existing components which can be used in the electric motor design. The electric motor performance data is presented as an output to the user.

Abstract: A half-stepping motor with bifilar coil windings about its stator poles has two layers of stator coils with different numbers of turns per pole for each layer. The ratio between the number turns is selected to provide a desired angular phase shift in the torque profile. A first layer wound about a first group of poles is connected in series in a forward sense with a second layer wound about a second distinct group of poles and driven by a first phase, while a second layer wound about the first group of poles is connected in series in a reverse sense with a first layer wound about the second group of poles and driven by a second phase in quadrature relation to the first phase. For a motor with 8 stator poles, the desired phase shift is 22.5 degrees, resulting from a turn ratio between the layers of about 0.4142.

Abstract: A racket includes a frame, a Y-shaped throat integrally extending from the frame, a shaft integrally extending from the throat and a handle formed on the free end of the shaft. An end piece is attached to a free end of the handle. The end piece includes a rod integrally formed in the end piece perpendicular to a plane that contains the elements of the racket. The throat includes two hollow arms each having a slot defined to face the frame. The shaft and the handle are hollow. The longitudinal strings near the middle portion of the frame can pass through the slot into the shaft, loop around the rod and pass through the shaft and the slot to lengthen the strings. The lengthened string can absorb the reactive force and prevent the players from sustaining sport injuries.
