Abstract: Provided are methods of producing, and compositions comprising, isolated alpha (2.fwdarw.8) or (2.fwdarw.9) oligosialic acid derivatives bearing a non-reducing end enriched for one or more de-N-acetyl residues and resistant to degradation by exoneu-raminidase. A representative production method involves: (i) treating an alpha (2.fwdarw.8) or (2.fwdarw.9) oligosialic acid precursor having a reducing end and a non-reducin end with sodium borohydride under conditions for de-N-acetylating the non-reducing end; and (ii) isolating alpha (2.fwdarw.8) or (2.fwdarw.9) oligosialic acid derivatives having one or more de-N-acetylated residues and a non-reducing end that is resistant to degradation by exoneuraminidase. Also provided are antibodies specific for the derivatives, kits, and methods of use including protection against and detection of E. coli K1 and N.  meningitidis bacterial infection, and in diagnosing and treating cancer.

Title: Multiplexed analyses of test samples
Inventor: SCHNEIDER DANIEL J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2008-07-17
Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, devices, reagents, and kits for the detection of one or more target molecules that may be present in a test sample. The described methods, devices, kits, and reagents facilitate the detection and quantification of a non-nucleic acid target (e.g., a protein target) in a test sample by detecting and quantifying a nucleic acid (i.e., an aptamer). The methods described create a nucleic acid surrogate for a non - nucleic acid target, thus allowing the wide variety of nucleic acid technologies, including amplification, to be applied to a broader range of desired targets, especially protein targets. The disclosure further describes aptamer constructs that facilitate the use of aptamers in a variety of analytical detection applications.

Abstract: The DistantLink Video Conferencing for Funeral Homes is a business process that uses the DistantLink Technology to connect remote loved ones from anywhere in the world utilizing Multiple Simultaneous Video Conferencing connections enabling loved ones who otherwise could not attend to essentially "be there" live and in real time from the comfort of their own home computer. An Invitation is sent to any distant loved ones anywhere in the world via email, anywhere from 1 to 1000, that outlines the date, time, and place. At the time of the service, the invitee need only to click on the link provided in the email, and enter a password. The Kiosk that resides in the Funeral Home is also logged onto the server, and utilizing a unique mixture of high-end computer and video components (outlined in the application) allows the attendees who are physically at the service to walk up to the large screen display and simply start talking to anybody who is attending remotely. The remote attendees can interact with live video and audio in real time with participants in the funeral home, or with other remote attendees, essentially making it as if they are right there in the room, no matter where they are in the world. This Business Process application applies to the field of Telecommunications, as well as to the Funeral Industry.

IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2009-02-25
Abstract: There is disclosed a direct fuel cell comprising an anode and a cathode immersed in an electrolyte in the presence of a reductant and oxidant.    Specifically, the fuel cell lacks a permselective membrane or other chemical barrier between the anode and cathode. Instead, the fuel cell has a mechanical/electrical porous separator that permits the free diffusion of liquid between all elements of the fuel cell. The fuel cell further contains an anode electrode of conductive substrate with catalyst and a cathode comprising a hydrophobic coated material that prevents cathode flooding. As a result, oxidation of the anode fuel and reduction of the cathode fuel occur to a substantial extent only at the anode and cathode, respectively, and is capable for ambient pressure/temperature and passive operation.

Abstract: Lorsqu' on coupe un arbre et qu'il tombe au sol, et qu'on veut par la suite le couper en bûche il devient très difficile pour le bucheron de couper le tronc complètement sans toucher le sol. Les scies mécaniques ou manuelles sont conçues pour couper le bois et quand elle touche le soi elles abiment, il faut donc soulever le tronc pour pouvoir le couper complètement ou on peut couper partiellement la partie du tronc qui n'est pas appuyé sur le sol, et le faire rouler sur lui-même pour compléter la coupe. Ces man uvres sont très difficiles surtout avec de gros arbres ou si les branches sont encore au tronc, car on ne peut le faire rouler facilement. Aussi quand l'arbre tombe dans un endroit difficile d'accès exemple : dans une zone humide, il est très difficile pour le bucheron de couper le tronc en bûches. Présentement aucun dispositif portatif et non motorisé ne permet de soulever les troncs d'arbre, ni de les tirer. Mon invention ce distingue par le fait que mon dispositif permet de soulever les troncs d'arbre de les maintenir soulevé, mon dispositif permet aussi de tirer les troncs d'arbre, de plus il est portatif.

Inventor: FORREST JAMES L
IPC: F16H29/12
Filed: 2011-04-29
Abstract: A drive unit disconnect mechanism is operable to transmit or disconnect power from a vehicle power source to a driven unit, and can be disengaged by multiple methods depending on how much force is required to separate the internal components of the mechanism. In a first, relatively quicker method, a handle is pulled axially away from the hub to withdraw and internal gear from splined engagement with a corresponding driven gear. In a second, relatively slower method, the handle is rotated to threadably withdraw the entire disconnect mechanism from the hub, which in turn withdraws the internal gear from splined engagement with the driven gear. The quicker method is desirable in most instances, but the slower method allows disconnection of the driven unit from the vehicle power source when gear pressure prevents or impedes the quicker method.
