Abstract: A method of quantitating the activity of a selected protein kinase on a peptide substrate is provided. The peptide substrate is conjugated to a binding compound. The modified peptide substrate is then added to a solution containing the selected protein kinase. The protein kinase and the peptide are incubated along with a label for sufficient time to form a modified peptide product having the binding compound and the label. The modified peptide product is then bound to a matrix having a high binding compound affinity. The bound peptide is then washed and the amount of peptide product is measured. Also provided is a kit for the stated method.

Abstract: A prosthetic knee system has a tibial component and a modular sleeve. The tibial component has a tibial tray, a stem and keels extending between the distal surface of the tray and the stem. The modular sleeve has an oval proximal surface with spaced reliefs. The reliefs and keels are sized, shaped and positioned to allow the modular sleeve to be mounted on the tibial component with the stem of the tibial component received in the interior channel of the sleeve and the keels of the tibial component received in the spaced reliefs of the modular sleeve, and to allow for some relative rotation between the tibial component and the sleeve. The system gives the surgeon the freedom to implant the tibial component alone, with the keels providing stability, or, in the case of bone deficiency, to implant the tibial component and sleeve as an assembly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de commande de moteurs à allumage commandé, à injection directe, en fonctionnement stratifié, en vue d'obtenir une consommation optimale et de compenser les tolérances et l'usure des pièces du moteur, par adaptation de la pression d'admission. Du fait que la stabilité de la combustion dépend en grande partie de la pression d'admission, on choisit, dans les systèmes actuellement connus, une pression d'admission faible, en vue d'obtenir un régime uniforme du moteur. Toutefois, à une faible pression d'admission, le moteur fonctionne en régime riche et la consommation est mauvaise. L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif au moyen desquels une adaptation fine de la pression d'admission à régler est effectuée en vue d'obtenir une consommation optimale et de compenser les tolérances et l'usure des pièces du moteur, au moyen d'un algorithme d'adaptation à l'aide d'une mesure de l'instabilité de fonctionnement.

Abstract: An adaptive architecture for electric motors, generators and other electric machines. An adaptive electric machine provides optimal performance by dynamically adapting its controls to changes in user inputs, machine operating conditions and machine operating parameters. Isolating the machine's electromagnetic circuits allows effective control of more independent machine parameters, that enable greater freedom to optimize and provide adaptive motors and generators that are cheaper, smaller, lighter, more powerful, and more efficient than conventional designs. An electric vehicle with in-wheel adaptive motors enables delivery of higher power with lower unsprung mass, giving better torque-density. The motor control system can adapt to the vehicle's operating conditions, - such as including starting, accelerating, turning, braking, and cruising at high speeds, - thereby consistently providing higher efficiency. A wind powered adaptive generator can adapt to changing wind conditions, consistently providing optimal performance. An adaptive architecture improves performance in a wide variety of electric machine applications, particularly those requiring optimal efficiency over a range of operating conditions.

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes are formed on projections on a substrate. A metal, such as nickel is deposited on the substrate with optional platforms, and heated to form the projections. Carbon nanotubes are formed from the projections by heating in an ethylene, methane or CO atmosphere. A heat sensor is also formed proximate the carbon nanotubes. When exposed to IR radiation, the heat sensor detects changes in temperature representative of the IR radiation. In a gas sensor, a thermally isolated area, such as a pixel is formed on a substrate with an integrated heater. A pair of conductors each have a portion adjacent a portion of the other conductor with projections formed on the adjacent portions of the conductors. Multiple carbon nanotubes are formed between the conductors from one projection to another. IV characteristics of the nanotubes are measured between the conductors in the presence of a gas to be detected.
