Improvements to external stents to render incompetent venous valves competent are disclosed. According to the present invention, there is enabled a screening of a novel anticancer agent which allows a more efficient therapy for a cancer, wherein the agent is an agent capable of enhancing the sensitivity of a cell to an anticancer agent comprising a DNA-damaging factor or an agent having a DNA-damaging action. Different foam molds can be used to form differently shaped front surfaces on the foam component. All the turn portions of the turn portion group protrude from the same slot of the stator core.

The printer’s page description contains a contone layer and a black layer. The protein stabilizing agent is comprised of a high methoxyl pectin and a propylene glycol alginate. The method results in printing plate having improved print performance for optimal printing and a higher achievable solid ink density. The housing can include of at least one of a power source, a pull, and a circuitry.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrodeposition paint composition and a method of forming an electrodeposited coating, which exhibit quality of coating deposition even in the interior of narrow spaces of objects subjected to painting. The present invention provides a master batch of an organic peroxide in which the organic peroxide is so uniformly dispersed in a thermoplastic resin that crosslinking andor decomposition occur uniformly, a method of preparing the same, a thermoplastic resin composition obtained using the master batch and a method of preparing the same. Polynucleotides encoding the novel leader peptides and a method of designing the polynucleotides are described.

A graphical user interface for a computer system with attached processor devices transfers input control for a pointing device on a principal computer display to native display devices and interfaces on attached devices whenever the system senses that a display cursor has moved to the edge of a display in the direction of the attached device. Sets of pairwise scores are computed to find nodes in the individual networks that are good matches to one another. The process components include a personnel administration process component, a payroll processing process component, an expense and reimbursement management process component, a time and labor process component, a compensation management process component, an employee payroll administration process component, and numerous country-specific employer regulatory compliance process components. The transaction record is monitored until a finalized transaction status is detected. The method includes decomposing the first shape into at least one subshape belonging to one of a plurality of subshape groups, and searching the second shape for a parametric transformation of the subshape. In one embodiment, the conductor is an elongated metal body of T-shaped cross-section.

The present invention discloses a blends of an aromatic polyimide polymer and a polymer containing aromatic sulfonic acid groups that can be converted into polybenzoxazole membranes for gas, vapor, and liquid separations. The filter system comprises a filter support hub defined by a solid circumferential wall. The server may be connected to either a wired or wireless local area network. The speech analyzer configured to extract paralinguistic characteristics from the speech signal. The information objects and the connection objects are derived from a small set of basic building blocks.

A device and method for collecting data on which lines are being shared in a multiprocessor system having cache memories is described. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods of treatment using such compositions are also disclosed. The wires are arranged side-by-side in a row at an end of each wire, where a termination element is connected.

The invention relates to a production riser system wherein the riser, at the touchdown point, has a bottom flexjoint so that the dynamic motion of the riser is absorbed by angular excursion of the flexjoint and not by the interaction of the sag bend with the seabed. The base portion is generally rectangular. The processing module generates an outbound signal and a control signal to configure the integrated radar system. A wide variety of substrates can benefit from the technology disclosed.

A system and method for inserting an object into a distributed database is provided. This invention also relates to a method of treating andor preventing pre-hypertension by administering to a mammal, including a human, a dietary supplement comprising grape extract. If the unique transaction identifier is received, a list of goods purchased by the consumer during the transaction is retrieved from a computer associated with the retailer and additional information to retrieve is determined based on at least one preference of the consumer. The inductors are fixed to the other side of the inductor support plate and then electrically connected by connecting cables through this opening to the control mechanism andor power electronics. Whether or not the first position is included in the areas corresponding to the microlenses is determined based on the second positions stored in the cache. The technique of the invention desirably simplifies the control procedure of varying the compression ratio of the engine and reduces the size of the mechanism required for this purpose.

A bearing dismounting device includes a body, a rod, several clamping arms, a tightening element, and an adjusting element. A recording method includes a step of changing a carry command value, when carrying a recording medium, according to a state of bending of the recording medium that is carried, a step of carrying the recording medium based on the carry command value that has been changed, and a step of recording on the recording medium that has been carried. Each of the holders has a first fixing portion corresponding to the first engaging portion, and a second engaging portion.

A device is provided for use in the alignment of sheets transverse to a direction of sheet travel. The loop instructions are selectively executed based on their stage numbers, thereby eliminating the need for explicit loop set-up and tear-down instructions. Means are provided for moving the valve element in the recess such that the first portion provides continuous fluid communication between the inlet passage and one of the exit openings during movement of the valve element and the second portion provides intermittent fluid communication between the inlet passage and another of the exit openings during movement of the valve element.
