  • Publication number: 20070077880
    Abstract: An airflow-guiding device for being mounted into a computer system to periodically change airflow passing therethrough, comprises a motor, a gearing driven by the motor and a plurality of airflow-guiding plates pivoted to a frame and linked to the gearing and driven thereby to turn back and forth periodically. The gearing comprises a cam driven by the motor and a sliding board slideably mounted on a supporting member. The sliding board has a lateral side always in contact with the cam so that when the cam rotates, the sliding plate slides on the supporting member. The airflow-guiding plates each have a linking rod linked to the sliding board. The airflow-guiding plates periodically turn within a given angle following the rotation of the cam so as to change direction of airflow passing through the airflow-guiding plates.

  • Publication number: 20060191026
    Abstract: Transgenes encoding exogenous antibodies are stably integrated into donor cells and are present in the somatic tissue of chimeric birds. The transgenes encode exogenous antibodies and are preferably expressed in the oviduct for collection in the egg. Tissue specificity is provided by selecting the content of the transgene accordingly. Birds whose genome is comprised of trangene-derived exogenous antibody-encoding DNA express exogenous antibodies having desirable chemical properties with increased therapeutic utility compared to antibodies derived from bacterial expression systems.
