Abstract: Armored protective panels for inflatable (and other) boats are detailed. The panels themselves may be inflated, either separately or together, for deployment and hence need not normally impede navigation or performance of the boats. If relatively flexible anti-ballistic materials are selected as components, the panels may be designed to collapse into rolls when not inflated. Alternative panels may include stealth or other non-anti-ballistic materials or be designed for use with objects or vehicles other than boats.

Abstract: The invention relates to a window frame element produced by injection associated with shaping defining a main moulding direction for the parts of a hollow mould. The inventive window frame element comprises an U-shaped open guiding element ( 8 ) which is essentially perpendicularly to the direction of the main moulding and is embodied in such a way that the branches thereof clamp the edge of a displaceable glass on both sides thereof along the window frame element. The inventive guiding element ( 8 ) consists of the segments ( 9, 10 ) of two alternating branches which are shaped in one piece on the window frame element during injection. Said invention makes it possible to avoid separate production of a guiding element and mounting thereof on the window frame element.

Abstract: A composition provides a successful support for in-growth of new bone and adjacent tissue in a variety of medical procedures and may also function in drug delivery. The composition contains one or more bone growth materials, free collagen, a fluid and, optionally, other additives to modify the consistency, ionic nature, antibacterial nature, color, texture, smell, osteogenic capacity, resorptive time (if any) and, if necessary, the rigidity of the implant. These compositions can be formulated by including addition of energy (e.g., heating) using a variety of sources. In a preferred method of manufacture the composition is heated to dissociate the collagen fibers and allow at least some of the bone growth materials and any additives to be captured between adjacent fibers without denaturing any proteins in the collagen.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein address the need in the art for reduced overhead control with the ability to adjust transmission rates as necessary. In one aspect, a first signal indicates an acknowledgement of a decoded subpacket and whether or not a rate control command is generated, and a second signal conditionally indicates the rate control command when one is generated. In another aspect, a grant may be generated concurrently with the acknowledgement. In yet another aspect, a mobile station monitors the first signal, conditionally monitors the second signal as indicated by the first signal, and may monitor a third signal comprising a grant. In yet another aspect, one or more base stations transmit one or more of the various signals. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of providing the flexibility of grant-based control while utilizing lower overhead when rate control commands are used, thus increasing system utilization, increasing capacity and throughput.

Abstract: A discovery process beginning with an in vivo screening of proteins, peptides, natural products, classical medicinal compound or other substances. The administration of compounds to the animal can be either direct or indirect, such as by the administration and expression of cDNA-containing plasmids. Since the discovery process of the invention is based on a non-preconceived hypothesis and whole organism multi-organ analysis, a compound can be selected for testing in the absence of any biological selection criteria. The resulting organism-wide pattern of the gene expression changes in the transcriptome provides an overview of the activities at the molecular and organism-wide levels. The discovery process of the invention then integrates in vivo profiling and internal and external genomic databases to elucidate the function of unknown proteins, typically within few months. The invention further relates to medical uses of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), FGF-23 fragments, FGF-23 C-terminal polypeptides, FGF-23 homologs and/or FGF-23 variants.

Abstract: A polyester resin is the reaction product of plurality of a first compound and a plurality of a carboxylic acid anhydride. The first compound has hydroxyl groups. The carboxylic acid anhydrides react with the hydroxyl groups of the first compounds to form a plurality of first intermediate compounds. These first intermediate compounds have at least one hydroxyl group and carboxylic acid groups. A temperature of the first intermediate compounds is increased until the hydroxyl group of one first intermediate compound condenses with one of the carboxylic acid groups of another first intermediate compound. This condensing, or condensation, forms the polyester resin having an ester linkage and carboxylic acid groups. A second compound having at least one epoxy group and a carbamate compound can be subsequently reacted with the polyester resin. A coating composition includes the polyester resin and a cross-linking agent reactive with the polyester resin.
