Abstract: A seat slide device includes a pair of sliders each including a fixed rail, a movable rail slidably guided by the fixed rail, a bracket on the movable rail configured so that front and rear sides swing opposite to each other in a vertical direction with a longitudinal-intermediate part as a fulcrum, a support bracket supported on the bracket via a hinge and configured to rotate in only one direction from a predetermined orientation about an lateral-direction axis relative to the bracket, a movement-restricting portion configured to restrict sliding of the movable rail while a rear part of the bracket is raised and to release the restriction while the rear part of the bracket is lowered; and a towel bar connecting each support bracket. The hinge part prohibits a rotation of the support bracket while the towel bar is lifted and permits the rotation while the towel bar is lowered.

Abstract: A heat-resistant recombinant Newcastle Disease Virus vaccine strain rLS-tFib2-C capable of expressing truncated Fiber 2 protein of fowl adenovirus serotype 4 has been preserved at the China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China with the preservation number of CCTCC No. V202042.

Abstract: A mat mounting structure for mounting a mat on a seat back frame in a seat back may have a guide wire attachable to the mat configured to receive a force from a back of an occupant on the seat back. The guide wire may have a straight part extending linearly in a longitudinal direction of the seat back frame on a head side or a root side of the seat back frame. A bushing including a penetration hole in which the straight part is insertable in the longitudinal direction may be included in the structure. An attachment hole part in the seat back frame may also be part of the structure. The bushing may be detachably engageable with and attachable to the attachment hole part.

Abstract: The described invention provides a well plate-based perfusion culture model of endosteal-, extracellular matrix (ECM)- and endothelial-myeloma interactions and patient-specific methods for selecting treatment for and assessing drug resistance of multiple myeloma (MM). The described methods utilize an ex vivo three dimensional endosteal microenvironment effective to recapitulate spatial and temporal characteristics of a multiple myeloma cancer niche and to maintain viability of multiple myeloma cells (MMCs) obtained from a patient suffering from MM.

Abstract: The described invention provides an ex vivo dynamic multiple myeloma (MM) cancer niche contained in a microfluidic device. The dynamic MM cancer niche includes (a) a three-dimensional tissue construct containing a dynamic ex vivo bone marrow (BM) niche, which contains a mineralized bone-like tissue containing viable osteoblasts self-organized into cohesive multiple cell layers and an extracellular matrix secreted by the viable adherent osteoblasts; and a microenvironment dynamically perfused by nutrients and dissolved gas molecules; and (b) human myeloma cells seeded from a biospecimen composition comprising mononuclear cells and the multiple myeloma cells. The human myeloma cells are in contact with osteoblasts of the BM niche, and the viability of the human myeloma cells is maintained by the MM cancer niche.

Abstract: A bed of microbeads is used as a foundation for reconstructing a three-dimensional osteocyte network by culturing osteocytes within the bed. The osteocytes are cultured such that they form a network among the microbeads that is capable of simulating the osteocyte network of natural bone. The osteocytes are cultured in a microfluidic device adapted for the purpose.

Abstract: A fiber composite rod intervention cable includes a central electrical cable portion; a bonding layer; a generally unidirectional carbon fiber composite mantle layer; a protective, balanced braided fiber composite layer. The central electrical cable portion includes a generally central electrical conductor with a first cross-section conductive area; an inner insulation layer on the central electrical conductor; and a coaxial electrical conductor layer having a second cross section conductive area equal to the first cross-section conductive area. The fiber composite rod intervention cable is arranged for being injected into a well from a drum unit via an injection unit at the wellhead and may carry an intervention tool, a logging tool, a well tractor with or without an energy source.

Abstract: A method and a system for measuring an audio transmission delay are provided. Synchronization operation is performed on transmission of an original audio codebook to be tested between a transmitter and a receiver. A transmitter starts sending the original audio codebook to be tested to a receiver in response to sending start instruction information, and stops sending the original audio codebook to the receiver in response to sending end instruction information. The receiver starts capturing the original audio codebook from the transmitter in response to receiving start instruction information and stops capturing the original audio codebook from the transmitter in response to receiving end instruction information. The audio transmission delay is obtained based on a test audio codebook captured by the receiver and the original audio codebook pre-stored in the receiver.
