Abstract: A distributed hydrogen generating fence is formed from a plurality of electrolysis units and fence posts. Each unit includes one or more PV cells, an associated electrolysis system powered by electricity generated by the one or more PV cells, and a feed header for feeding water and an electrolyte to the electrolysis system. The electrolysis system is inside the feed header, and is operable to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The units are located between and are supported by mutually adjacent fence posts. The feed header extends in an inclined manner between the mutually adjacent fence posts. A gas header conducts at least the hydrogen from each of the plurality of units to a first remote facility. The fence includes openings allowing the passage of animals, people or vehicles. The openings can be controlled by a gate, or a grate laid across a hole in the ground spanning the opening.

Related uses of the pharmaceutical composition to treat seizures in a subject having epilepsy are also provided.

Abstract: An implantable drug delivery device and method that includes a bellows sensor for detecting the displacement of a bellows within an infusate reservoir. Sensor data from the bellows sensor may enable indirect measurement of the flow conditions of the implantable drug delivery device or connected catheter. A processor within the implantable drug delivery device may use the sensor data to determine whether delivery of infusate to a patient over time is outside normal or acceptable parameters and take an action in response.

Abstract: A weighted lining comprises at least one weighting layer comprising a weighting material and at least one backing layer coupled to the weighting layer. The weighted lining is configured in a drapeable sheet. In some implementations, the weighted lining further comprises recessed areas formed in one surface and configured to cause the lining to drape in a predetermined way. In some implementations, the weighting layer is cut to remove weighting material and define the recessed areas. The weighted lining can be used with a garment, a full-size or scale costume, a furnishing or any other object, among other applications.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a signal associated with a two dimensional code where the two dimensional code is associated with a set of data. The method further includes generating and transmitting a currentness signal associated with the set of data. Another embodiment includes the currentness signal being associated with at least one of currentness information, supplement information and a print date of supplement information, wherein the currentness information comprises a statement regarding currentness of the set of data and the supplement information comprises a statement regarding an existence of a supplement. Yet another embodiment includes receiving a download signal associated with a purchase transaction, the set of data and an electronic file and then generating and transmitting a delivery signal associated with the electronic file.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods to provide an in-game friend object in a game instance of a multiplayer online game uniquely associated with a host player. The friend object has a unique association with a player who is a guest player with respect to the host player's game instance. A state of the friend object is automatically altered, for example deteriorating at random intervals, and can be restored subject to performance of a maintenance object by the guest player, performance of the maintenance action being limited only to the guest player. The friend object may be a display object, such as a picture frame, that displays an image associated with the guest player.

Abstract: A display apparatus is disclosed that includes a screen and a frame system positioned to support the screen. The frame system includes a plurality of frame members, a hinge that couples the frame members together, and a lock that blocks relative movement of the frame members.

Abstract: An article includes a piece of encapsulated insulation including an envelope having at least two vents therethrough, a particulate insulation within the envelope, and a porous filter overlying each vent of the envelope. The porous filter has a mesh size no larger that the minimum size of the particles. The article may further include a structure having a structure surface, and the piece of encapsulated insulation overlies and covers at least a portion of the structure surface.

Abstract: A composite thermal switch material suitable for use in controlling short circuits in lithium ion batteries. The switch material comprises a substantially homogeneous matrix of metallic nanoparticles and non-electrically conductive polymeric nanoparticles, the non-electrically conductive polymeric nanoparticles being fused to one another and having a greater thermal expansion coefficient than the metallic nanoparticles, the metallic nanoparticles and the non-electrically conductive polymeric nanoparticles being present in said substantially homogeneous matrix in relative proportions such that the composite thermal switch material is electrically conductive below a switching temperature and is substantially non-electrically conductive at or above the switching temperature.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes aerogel composites comprising organic-inorganic hybrid aerogel particulates and binders, in particular systems with aerogel and binders covalently bonded along with methods for preparing the same. Said composites can be formed into articles having complex geometries.

Abstract: The use of corticotroph-derived glycoprotein hormone (CGH) to potentiate glucocorticoid action and to reduce glucocorticoid-induced adrenocortical suppression is described. CGH can be co-administered with glucocorticoids to enable a lower dosage of glucocorticoids to be used and to prevent or reduce glucocorticoid-induced side-effects. The invention additionally provides methods for the use of CGH as a replacement for glucocorticoids, or for treatment of a broad range of inflammatory states. Further provided are methods for purification of recombinant CGH.

Abstract: Thyroid stimulating hormone has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity. Polypeptides of thyroid stimulating hormone have a novel use as an anti-inflammatory agent as a stand-alone therapy, or in conjunction with other anti-inflammatory agents. In addition, thyroid stimulating hormone can be used to potentiate the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoid treatment.
