Cells grown on a microcarrier are separated from the microcarrier by enzymatically digesting the microcarrier. More specifically, chondrocytes may be grown on dextran microcarrier beadlets and then the beadlets digested using dextranase to separate the chondrocytes from the carrier. Cells can also be grown on chitosan microcarriers to be used for implantation. In addition, cells can be grown on polysaccharide polymers to be used as implant devices. Various polymers serve as scaffolds for cells to be used for implantation. The polymers can be used for cell culture as well as for preparing scaffolds useful for tissue replacement such as cartilage tissue.

Methods and devices for treating nasal airways are provided. Such devices and methods may improve airflow through an internal and/or external nasal valve, and comprise the use of mechanical re-shaping, energy application and other treatments to modify the shape, structure, and/or air flow characteristics of an internal nasal valve, an external nasal valve or other nasal airways.

A method is described for modifying at least one property of a tissue of or near a nasal valve of a nose, without using a surgical incision or an implant, to decrease airflow resistance or perceived airflow resistance in a nasal airway. The method may involve contacting a treatment element of a treatment device with the at least one tissue inside the nasal airway, with sufficient force to at least temporarily deform the at least one tissue, applying energy to, or removing energy from, the at least one tissue, using the treatment element, and removing the treatment element from the nostril.

There is provided a biosensor in which a spacer 6 having a cutout portion is bonded between at least first support 1 and a second support 8 to form a specimen supply path 7 through which a supplied specimen is sucked into a space between the supports 1 and 8, a reagent that reacts with a component in the specimen is placed in the specimen supply path 7, and an air hole 9 for promoting suction of the specimen is formed in the second support; wherein the air hole 9 is shaped such that a diameter y of an opening 91b at one surface of the second support 8 which faces the specimen supply path 7 is larger than a diameter x of an opening 91a at the other surface of the second support, and projecting parts 92a and 92b are formed at the peripheries of the openings 91a and 91b, respectively. Thereby, a sufficient amount of specimen can be sucked regardless of the viscosity of the specimen supplied to the biosensor, and further, the specimen is prevented from flowing over the air hole 9.

Due to a centrifugal force in a vehicle width direction due to turning of an automobile, oil in an electric motor housing chamber housing an electric motor and oil in a transmission housing chamber housing a reduction gear and a differential gear flows to-and-fro via oil communication passages that penetrate a partitioning wall. An opening on the transmission housing chamber side of the oil communication passages is spaced from the partitioning wall. Hence, when oil moves from the transmission housing chamber side to the electric motor housing chamber side, it is possible to prevent the oil quantity on the electric motor housing chamber side from increasing excessively and suppress an increase in resistance to oil stirring by a rotor of the electric motor while retaining a constant oil amount on the transmission housing chamber side to ensure lubricating performance for the reduction gear and the differential gear.

A device, system and method for producing glycosylated proteins in plant culture, particularly proteins having a high mannose glycosylation, while targeting such proteins with an ER signal and/or by-passing the Golgi. The invention further relates to vectors and methods for expression and production of enzymatically active high mannose lysosomal enzymes using transgenic plant root, particularly carrot cells. More particularly, the invention relates to host cells, particularly transgenic suspended carrot cells, vectors and methods for high yield expression and production of biologically active high mannose Glucocerebrosidase (GCD). The invention further provides for compositions and methods for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases.

The invention discloses a Hadoop cluster system and Hadoop cluster rapid establishment method based on a container technology and relates to the technical field of big data and cloud computing. The method comprises the steps of configuring that containers between different container operation nodes communicate through a VXLAN, and configuring that virtual network bridges of the container operation nodes are not located in the same network segment; installing SSH and JAVA operating environments, producing packaging files of a DNS service mirror image, a Hadoop master service mirror image and hadoop slave service mirror images, packaging the mirror images, and transmitting the packaged mirror images to a mirror image warehouse for storage; and submitting requests for deploying three pieces of services to a container management node in sequence by a user through a client, scheduling the corresponding requests to the container operating nodes for deployment by the container management node, and registering the corresponding service. According to the system and the method, a Hadoop cluster can be deployed rapidly, the condition that the number of servers is insufficient is solved, and the availability of a Hadoop container cluster deployed on a Docker platform is improved.

A microbiological preparation made from 105 types of acclimatized and integrated microorganisms belonging to 47 genuses can be used to process highly difficult waste waters of coking waste water, gourment powder waste water, antibiotic waste water, pigment waste water, paper making waste water and fluorating waste water.

The present invention provides for a case for transporting handguns and methods of using and manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the case is comprised of (i) an expansion mechanism located within the case, having a mounting bar coupled thereto and configured to deploy the mounting bar as the case is opened; and (ii) a handgun holder coupled to the mounting bar that includes (a) a clamp configured removably to secure the handgun holder to the mounting bar and coupled to a first shank having a threaded receptacle at an end thereof, (b) a holster seat configured to conform, and coupled, to a handgun holster and further coupled to the side of a second shank having a major axis substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the handgun holster, an end of the second shank mating with the end of the first shank, and (c) a fastener configured to pass through an opening through the second shank along the major axis and engage the threaded receptacle.

A postal customer obtains (directly or indirectly) from a post office one or more labels, each having a unique identifier. At the time of obtaining the labels or later, the customer associates a payment account such as a credit card account or bank account with the label identifier in a database and authorizes postage charges to the payment account. At a later time, a label is addressed and other delivery information is supplied, and then affixed to a package for delivery. The package is delivered to and processed at a post office, where the label is read and the appropriate postage is determined by the post office without interaction with the customer. By accessing the database, the payment account associated with the unique identifier is determined and billed for such postage by the post office.

A model creating device inputs process status data that are obtained in time series during a period during which each of process steps of a process is carried out and are related to status of this process, as well as inspection result data related to object articles that were processed by said process. An extracting part extracts a characteristic quantity from the process status data for every unit object article and for every process step. An analyzing part carries out an analysis by data mining by using the characteristic quantities and inspection result data in correlation with the unit object articles and creates a process-quality model that shows a relationship between the correlated characteristic quantities and inspection result data.
