New methods and systems for manufacturing a three-dimensional form, comprising steps of providing a plurality of particulates; contacting the particulates with an activation agent; contacting particulates having the activation agent with a binder material that is activatable by the activation agent; at least partially hardening the binder for forming a layer of the three-dimensional form; and repeating these steps to form the remainder of the three-dimensional form. Following sequential application of all required layers and binder material to make the form, the unbound particles are appropriately removed (and optionally re-used), to result in the desired three-dimensional form. The invention also contemplates a novel method for preparing a form, where unbound particulates free of binder material are re-claimed.

A method of preventing or treating constipation in a patient who has been chronically taking opioids, the method comprising administering a quaternary derivative of noroxymorphone in an amount sufficient to prevent or treat the side effect in the patient, but which amount would be insufficient to treat a patient with the same opioid-induced side effect who had not chronically been administered opioids.

Contact killing antimicrobial articles, devices and formulations are described which kill microorganisms on contact. The articles, devices or formulations contain a non-leaching antimicrobial material which is a unique combination of an organic matrix having biocidal metallic materials non-leachably associated with the matrix. The antimicrobial material may used to form an antimicrobial coating or layer on a surface of the article or device, or may be dispersed in a vehicle or carrier to form a topical antiseptic or disinfectant, or solid shape having contact killing antimicrobial properties. When a microorganism contacts the article, device, or formulation, the biocidal metallic material is transferred to the microorganism in amounts sufficient to kill it.

A method of encoding a digital image signal comprising a plurality of samples. The method comprises the following steps, applied during the encoding of each sample with a view to its storage in a buffer. The level of occupancy of the buffer is determined, and the level of occupancy is compared with a predetermined threshold. An encoding mode is determined from among a plurality of encoding modes when the level of occupancy is above the predetermined threshold, and encoding the sample according to the determined encoding mode, and the sample is encoded according to a default encoding mode when the level of occupancy is below the predetermined threshold.

The binding specificity of the murine OKT3 has been transferred into a human antibody framework in order to reduce its immunogenicity. “Humanized” anti-CD3 mAbs, such as gOKT3-5 and gOKT3-7, have been shown to retain, in vitro, all the properties of native OKT3, including T cell activation which has been correlated, in vivo, with the severe side-effects observed in transplant recipients after the first administration of the mAb. Disclosed are modified versions of humanized anti-CD3 mAbs that do not have the property of T cell activation. Further dislosed are methods of using such mAbs.

This invention relates to phytases, polynucleotides encoding them, uses of the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention, as well as the production and isolation of such polynucleotides and polypeptides. In particular, the invention provides polypeptides having phytase activity under high temperature conditions, and phytases that retain activity after exposure to high temperatures. The phytases of the invention can be thermotolerant and/or thermostable at low temperatures, in addition to higher temperatures. The phytases of the invention can be used in foodstuffs to improve the feeding value of phytate rich ingredients. The phytases of the invention can be formulated as foods or feeds or supplements for either to, e.g., aid in the digestion of phytate. The foods or feeds of the invention can be in the form of pellets, liquids, powders and the like. In one aspect, phytases of the invention are stabile against thermal denaturation during pelleting; and this decreases the cost of the phytase product while maintaining in vivo efficacy and detection of activity in feed.

The invention relates to a multipurpose polyester film and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method adopts a biaxial orientation technique and comprises the following steps: 1. preparation of functional assistants; 2. precrystallization and drying; 3. melt extrusion: the precrystallized and dried PET (polyethylene terephthalate) slices and the functional assistants are heated and molten by an extruder, and the melt is uniformly delivered to a die head for slab casting under the push of extrusion pressure; 4. slab casting: the uniform and stable melt from the extrusion system runs on rotating quenching rollers through the die head to form an amorphous slab; 5. longitudinal stretching and lateral stretching: the cast slab is subjected to longitudinal stretching after entering a longitudinal stretching machine, and subjected to lateral stretching after entering a lateral stretching machine; and 7. pulling, slicing, corona treatment, rolling and inspection. The method has wide application range, such as environment-friendly films, twist wrap films, high-brightness films, insulation films, capacitive films, car protecting films, bronzing films, aluminizing films and composite packaging films.

The invention provides a method for planting dendrobium officinale on a tree, and belongs to the technical field of dendrobium officinale planting. The method comprises the steps of selecting and treating an adnascent tree, pretreating seedlings, treating moss, binding the tree and fixing planting, performing water and fertilizer management after fixing planting, and the like. During treatment on the adnascent tree, a notch which does not damage a stem cambium is formed in a tree trunk, the tree trunk is coated with a pulpous nutrition medium, and the dendrobium officinale is planted after the tree is planted for 3 to 5 days, wherein the used pulpous medium is prepared from dimethomorph, manganese zinc myclobutanil, ivy extracts, gibberellins, andrographolide, polyvinyl acetate emulsion, sorbitol, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitro-humate and monocalcium phosphate.
