This invention relates to a vaccine and a method for immune activation which is effective for eliciting both a systemic, non-antigen specific immune response and a strong antigen-specific immune response in a mammal. The method is particularly effective for protecting a mammal from a disease including cancer, a disease associated with allergic inflammation, an infectious disease, or a condition associated with a deleterious activity of a self-antigen. Also disclosed are therapeutic compositions useful in such a method.

A system and method are provided for variable speed operation of a screw compressor to obtain increased capacity and efficiency. The screw compressor is connected to an induction motor driven by a variable speed drive, wherein the screw compressor has a variable output capacity that is dependent on the output speed of the motor. To obtain increased capacity and efficiency, the screw compressor is operated at a speed greater than the screw compressor's rated speed and does not include a slide valve. The maximum operating speed of the screw compressor, which speed is greater than the rated speed, is related to the maximum operating speed of the motor when operated at a voltage and frequency provided by the variable speed drive that is greater than the motor's rated voltage and frequency in a constant flux or constant volts/Hz mode.

The invention relates to the compounds and methods for inhibiting the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor (CDKI) pathway. More particularly, the invention relates to compounds and methods for inhibiting the CDKI pathway for studies of and intervention in senescence-related and other CDKI-related diseases.

The intake assembly includes a compressor and a plenum in fluidic communication with the compressor, the plenum having an integrated charge air cooler including a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet in fluidic communication with a coolant passage and cooling plates extending into a plenum enclosure and coupled to the coolant passage. The intake assembly further includes a throttle body coupled to the plenum.

A contactless integrated circuit card system for communicating with a card reader is disclosed. The contactless integrated circuit card system includes an integrated circuit chip for performing contactless identification; a main antenna connected to the integrated circuit chip for transmitting signals to and from the card reader; and at least one open-circuit antenna disposed on the main antenna for increasing gain of the main antenna so that the electromagnetic induction of the main antenna is enhanced.

A selective etching process cuts shapes from amorphous metal strip feedstock. The etching process comprises depositing a chemically resistant material to one side of the strip in a pattern that defines the requisite shape, mating the metal strip with a carrier strip, exposing at least one side of the metal strip to an etching agent to selectively etch the desired shape, and separating the shape from the strip feedstock. A plurality of layers of the shapes is assembled by adhesive lamination to form a generally polyhedrally shaped bulk amorphous metal magnetic component useful in high efficiency electric motors and inductive devices. The bulk amorphous metal magnetic component may include an arcuate surface, and preferably includes two arcuate surfaces that are disposed opposite to each other. The magnetic component is operable at frequencies ranging from about 50 Hz to about 20,000 Hz. When the component is operated at an excitation frequency “f” to a peak induction level B_max, the component exhibits a core-loss less than about “L” wherein L is given by the formula L=0.005 f(B_max)^1.5+0.000012 f^1.5(B_max)^1.6, said core loss, said excitation frequency and said peak induction level being measured in watts per kilogram, hertz, and teslas, respectively. Performance characteristics of the bulk amorphous metal magnetic component of the present invention are significantly better than those of silicon-steel components operated over the same frequency range.

The invention involves orienting the metal laminations that form a stator core end in such a way so as to reduce eddy current losses in the finger portions of the metal laminations. The metal laminations are positioned so that the grain orientation is parallel to the magnetic flux lines generated in the finger portions.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for inducing emotions. A primary object of the present invention is to accurately induce an emotion desired by a user by feedbacking biosignals from the user and inducing a desired emotion in accordance with the fedback biosignals. The object of the invention can be achieved by allowing the user to select the desired emotion, outputting physical signals for stimulating the user's body based on an emotion induction protocol capable of inducing the selected emotion, extracting bioparameters from the biosignals detected from the user's body before and after the output of the physical signals for stimulating the user's body, comparing increase/decrease patterns of the extracted respective bioparameters with increase/decrease patterns of bioparameter change models for the emotional state desired by the user, and controlling the emotion induction protocol based on comparative results.

The present invention relates to a novel system for generating transformed dihaploid corn plants. In particular, the invention relates to the production of haploid corn callus, transformation of that tissue, dihaploidization, and regeneration of transgenic plants. Transgenic dihaploid corn plants can then be easily produced.
