Abstract: Methods of stimulating production of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are provided. The methods include contacting MSCs with one or more SPM fatty acid precursors, SPM intermediates, or a combination of two or more thereof. Also provided are compositions including the stimulated MSCs or conditioned media from the stimulated MSCs. Methods of treating or inhibiting inflammation are also provided, including administering to a subject stimulated MSCs or conditioned media from stimulated MSCs.

Abstract: The instant application pertains to new liquid level monitoring apparatus and a cooling system for computer components that employs the liquid level monitoring apparatus. In one embodiment, the liquid level measurement device comprises a load cell and a buoyancy element. The buoyancy element is configured to be partially submerged in a dielectric liquid. The load cell and the buoyancy element are operably connected such that a change in liquid volume may be determined using Archimedes' principle.

Abstract: A system for a dynamic facet replacement includes first and second inferior facets, first and second pars and first and second superior facets. The first and second inferior facets are configured to replace left and right natural inferior facets and each facet comprises an articulating surface. The first and second superior facets are configured to replace left and right natural superior facets and each facet comprises an articulating surface. Each of the first and second pars includes first and second articulating surfaces and is configured to articulately connect the first and second articulating surfaces with the first articulating surfaces of the inferior and superior facets, respectively.

Abstract: A one-piece pipe support having a base and an integral channel that can receive the ends of a pipe clamp in order to fasten the clamp to the base without the use of fasteners, such as bolts, screws, washers, etc.

Abstract: A modular office wiring system comprising a power distribution module, at least one data hub, at least one ten-conductor high-voltage cable, a cable carrier, connectors, at least one power core, at least one high-voltage power module, and at least one low-voltage data module. The system may additionally include one or more splitters that provide branch power lines, with additional power cores positioned on the branch lines and additional high-voltage power modules and low-voltage data modules connected to the additional power cores. In addition, a method is provided for installing and uninstalling the modules to each other.

Abstract: A battery powered electric blanket includes battery compartments are located on each of the four corners and are configured to facilitate the removal and insertion of batteries. The batteries are used to power a network of heating elements distributed through out the blanket. The blanket is further designed such that is could also be powered by an external AC or DC power source, and at that same time recharge the batteries in the battery compartments. The blanket also includes a user operable controller to set and control the desired level of heat generated during operation.

Abstract: A striking and pulling tool, such as a hammer, having separate head elements secured to opposing sides of a handle. The tool may be part of a system with interchangeable components.
