    Abstract: An air flap for an air flap assembly for a vehicle front is provided. The air flap has a front face and a lateral face having a slotted guide system. The air flap blocks an air inlet in the vehicle front through the front face in a closed position and opens the air inlet in an open position. The air flap is rotatable from the closed position into the open position by a rotary movement about an axis of rotation by way of a driver of an actuator, which driver can be guided in the slotted guide system. The slotted guide system located on the lateral face of the air flap has a tapered portion, so that the slotted guide system and the driver have substantially no play in relation to one another in the region of the tapered portion.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The UE receives an indication of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) hopping offset from a network entity. The UE may process PTRSs transmitted in different transmissions across multiple symbols or time slots. In one example, processing the PTRSs may include transmitting the PTRSs in uplink (UL) slots. In another example, processing the PTRSs may include monitoring for the PTRSs in downlink (DL) slots. Frequency resources for the PTRSs may change across the different transmissions based on the PTRS hopping offset.

    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of protein and genetic engineering, and specifically discloses use of an erythropoietin human hepatocyte receptor B4 as a target in screening and preparing a biological formulation or medicament for increasing sensitivity to insulin. Also disclosed is use of an erythropoietin human hepatocyte receptor B4 in preparing an insulin-sensitized mouse model. On the basis of insulin signal regulation, a protein EphB4 capable of interacting with an insulin receptor (InsR) is found. The protein can interact with InsR, and insulin stimulation can promote the interaction between the two, which provides a basis for insulin resistance in the case of hyperinsulinaemia. Over-expression of EphB4 can promote degradation of InsR. Inhibition of EphB4 can enhance the sensitivity to insulin and improve insulin resistance.

  • Publication number: 20230132543
    Abstract: A sunshade device and sunshade management system for mitigating the effects of climate change and direct and prolonged exposure to the sun, the sunshade device including a canopy attached to a collapsible web or frame structure. The frame structure can be collapsed or opened by operation of an electric motor. The sunshade device is positioned above the ground by electrically powered lifting devices that are powered by a battery system that is charged by solar cells. A sunshade management system controls the status of the sunshade device, and can collapse the frame and activate the lifting devices to position the sunshade in the sky, and open the frame and deactivate the lifting devices to allow the sunshade device to slowly descend while providing shade to areas below the sunshade device.
