Abstract: A large sized safe windmill with high efficiency is made up of plural vane-assemblies.  Each assembly includes an axle center (2) that connecting the adjacent vane-assemblies by the connectors (21) for transferring power on the ends of the center.  Then the power is finally transferred to the generator (82) that generating electricity at the bottom of the windmill. There are plural blade-assemblies extend from the axle center. The vane blade (1) has an extending plane (11) that bending relative to the outside of the axle center, and the extending plane is angled with the blade about 18~20°. There are rotating axes (13,14) controlling the rotation of plurality of vane blades both on the upside and on the underside thereof. There are horizontal protective shafts (15,16) around the axes and vertical connecting shafts (17) between the vane blades. The vertical connecting shafts transfer power from the blades to the horizontal protective shafts, and thereafter the power concentrates to the axle center. A  dogvane (4) and a wind-speed switch (6) are set on top of the windmill, which vary the rotation of the vane blades by means of the changing the direction and degree of the wind.

Abstract: The conical monopole antenna includes a conical antenna element having an apex and a base, a conductive base member coupled across the base of the conical antenna element and a ground plane antenna element, e.g., a disc antenna element, adjacent the apex of the conical antenna element. A fold conductor is coupled between the conductive base member and the ground plane antenna element. The fold conductor may include at least one impedance element, such as a resistive element or inductive element. An antenna feed structure is coupled to the ground plane and conical antenna elements.  The antenna may have reduced gain above a cutoff frequency being traded for low VSWR  below the cutoff frequency to get increased usable bandwidth.

Abstract: In a downhole rod-driven pump, continuous rod drives the pump. The continuous rod is connected directly to the drive eliminating a polish rod and uphole coupling. A coupling is used to connect the continuous rod to the pump.  Continuous rod eliminates couplings therebetween removing restrictions in the production annulus and wear on the production tubing. Further, clean out tubing can be inserted beside the continuous rod to the pump without restriction. Threaded couplings allow the continuous rod to be rotated in an appropriate direction to release the continuous rod from the pump when the pump is stuck. Shear couplings permit shearing for releasing the pump from the continuous rod. When the pump is a progressing cavity pump and the coupling is a shear coupling, the continuous rod can be reverse rotated for changing the direction of pumping and if the rotor thereafter remains stuck, the shear coupling can be sheared.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for proprotein and activatable proprotein compositions. A proprotein contains a functional protein (i.e. a full length protein or functional fragment thereof) which is coupled to a peptide mask that inhibits the binding of the functional protein to its target or binding partner. An activatable proprotein contains a functional protein coupled to a peptide mask, and further coupled to an activatable linker, wherein in an non-activated state, the peptide mask inhibits binding of the functional protein to its target or binding partner and in an activated state the peptide mask does not inhibit binding of the functional protein to its target or binding partner. Proproteins can provide for reduced toxicity and adverse side effects that could otherwise result from binding of a functional protein at non-treatment sites if it were not inhibited from binding its binding partner.  Proproteins can further provide improved biodistribution characteristics.  Proproteins containing a peptide mask can display a longer in vivo or serum half-life than the corresponding functional protein not containing a peptide mask. The disclosure further provides methods of screening for, making, and using these proproteins.
