Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention relates to novel bovine adenovirus expression vector systems which utilize the following regions of the bovine adenovirus genome: nucleotides 4,092-5,234; nucleotides 5,892-17,735; nucleotides 21,198-26033 and nucleotides 31,133-34,445. These regions can be used, among other things, for insertion of foreign sequences, for provision of DNA control sequences including transcriptional and translational regulatory sequences, or for diagnostic purposes to detect the presence of viral nucleic acids or proteins encoded by these regions, in a subject or biological sample. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to novel methods for the construction, isolation and propagation of recombinant bovine adenovirus (BAV) with deletions (and optionally insertions of heterologous sequence) in the E3 region. Recombinant BAV containing insertions of genes encoding protective determinants of a pathogen stimulate enhanced systemic and mucosal immune responses and protect host animals against challenge by the pathogen.

Abstract: A lift truck power source includes a hybrid power supply including a storage battery, a capacitor bank, and optionally a fuel cell. The capacitor bank stores power produced during regeneration by either the truck traction system or the lift system and delivers current when current demand exceeds that delivered by the fuel cell. The storage battery or fuel cell acts as a main power supply to deliver current at a rate sufficient to power the lift truck.  When the fuel cell is the main power supply, the storage battery stores power during times when current demand is less than that delivered by the fuel cell and delivers current at times when current demand is greater than that delivered by the fuel cell. When the storage battery is the main power supply, the fuel cell supplements the power delivered by the storage battery, and can also recharge the storage battery.

Title: Annuloplasty ring and method
Inventor: RYAN TIMOTHY R
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2007-05-31
Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: An annuloplasty ring including a sheath, an arcuate stiffening element, and a tensioning member. The stiffening element is disposed within the sheath and defines discrete, first and second ends separated by a lateral spacing. The tensioning member extends between the stiffening element ends. The tensioning member is characterized as being more flexible than the stiffening element and is configured to provide a taut state in which the tensioning member is substantially non-extensible and impedes expansion of the lateral spacing. With this configuration, the stiffening element serves to remodel the valve annulus to a desired shape, while the tensioning member exhibits sufficient flexibility to allow for natural movement of the valve annulus while limiting (in the taut state) the extent of annular dilatation (e.g., overt lateral separation of the first and second ends of the stiffening member) due to in vivo forces.

Granted: 2013-11-26
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods of modeling and handling of nonlinearities for application of automatic control to systems with high inter-process variance and nonlinearities. The variance and nonlinearities make these systems difficult to control. Variance is accounted for by replacing the mathematical model of the system with a more representative system from a dataset that may or may not be chosen based on characteristics of the system under test, and then adapting using recursive estimation techniques. Nonlinearities defined by threshold to response and maximal responses are incorporated into linear models relating accumulated inputs to response. Example implementations in relation to automated drug delivery for neuromuscular blocking drugs through warning, advisory and closed-loop control systems are discussed.

Abstract: To prevent an increase in an engine speed of an engine having an IACV when the IACV is fully opened for initialization of the IACV immediately after start up of the engine. When cranking starts by turning on a starter switch 14, the ignition timing is first corrected to a fixed value on a retard side. When an IACV 6 reaches a fully opened position, the ignition timing is corrected to the retard side once, and thereafter corrected to an advance side. The correction to the advance side is performed in accordance with a difference between the number of idling target steps and the current number of steps, and the amount of advance correction is reduced as the difference is reduced. Upon completion of the initialization of the IACV 6, the ignition timing correction amount is then restored to the initial value by increasing the amount of advance by a predetermined amount in a stepwise manner.
