  • Publication number: 20220341930
    Abstract: Assays, arrays, and methods for distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection are disclosed. The antibiotic crisis is in part driven by over prescription of antibiotics. There is a tendency, particular in pediatrics, to give an antibiotic even for viral infections. Thus, embodiments herein are directed to the problem of distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

  • Publication number: 20210164991
    Abstract: A method of inducing a generalized immune response, includes administering to a subject an immunologically effective amount of one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46, thereby inducing a generalized immune response to infection by a pathogen in a subject. A prophylactic or therapeutic composition for inducing a generalized immune response, includes an immunologically effective amount of one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46. A method of distinguishing a subject infected with a pathogen from an uninfected subject, includes detecting an antibody in the subject that selectively binds one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46, wherein the presence of the antibody indicates that the subject is infected with the pathogen. A general method to discover broadly protective components for a vaccine is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10994834
    Abstract: An active vibration control system for an aircraft includes a gearbox operably coupling a power source and a component rotatable about an axis. The gearbox includes a flexible region which allows flexure between a first stage and a second stage. At least one active vibration control actuator is arranged in vibrational communication with the flexible region to counteract vibrations transmitted between the power source and the rotatable component.

  • Patent number: 10501174
    Abstract: A rotor hub assembly includes an open rotor hub assembly with an open rotor hub and a mounting plate. The open rotor hub includes an annular base portion with periphery and a plurality of rotary member portions arranged about the annular base portion that each define an aperture for receiving a rotor blade. The mounting plate spans the annular base portion and is coupled to the annular base portion by a resilient member to accommodate radially expansion and contraction of the annular base portion according to loads exerted on the rotor hub by rotor blades seated in the apertures of the rotary member portions.

  • Publication number: 20190234962
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, the present invention provides methods and compositions to measure unbiasedly the immune health status of an individual or population. A number of measures, including Shannon's entropy, can provide a measure of the diversity and disorder in the population of antibodies in a subject. The measure can be established by reacting the population of antibodies in a subject's blood with a complex surface, such as a peptide array.
