Abstract:
A protein carrier containing an antigen presenting cell binding domain and a cysteine-rich domain. Also described herein is an immunoconjugate containing the protein carrier with an antigen conjugated to multiple cysteine residues in the cysteine-rich domain, and an immune composition containing the immunoconjugate and an adjuvant, as well as their uses in eliciting immune responses.
Abstract:
A lighting device for a barbecue stove includes a handle assembly, and a lamp assembly retractably mounted on the handle assembly. The handle assembly includes two spaced fixing seats, and an elongate hollow handle. The lamp assembly includes a guide track, a slide, a receiving seat, a lighting seat, and a flexible pipe. Thus, the lamp assembly is retracted into and stored in the handle assembly when not in use, so that the lamp assembly does not occupy any space, thereby facilitating a user storing the lamp assembly.
Abstract:
A lock assembly includes a fixing plate fixed to an inner side of a door. An inside rose liner is fixed to the fixing plate. A shaft is rotatably mounted in an axial hole of the fixing plate and coupled with a tail piece of an auxiliary lock body. An inside handle includes an inside spindle rotatably mounted in another axial hole of the fixing plate. A control mechanism includes a sliding plate slidably mounted in the inside rose liner, a driving wheel mounted on the inside spindle to turn therewith, and a driven wheel mounted on the shaft to turn therewith. Each of the driving wheel and the driven wheel includes at least one pressing section on an outer periphery thereof for pressing against an associated pressing portion of the sliding plate. The auxiliary lock is simultaneously unlatched when the inside handle is turned.
Abstract:
Inhibitors of E-, P- and L-selectin binding are synthesized by an aldol addition reaction between a glycoside aldehyde precursor and dihydroxyacetone phosphate or a derivative thereof. The addition reaction is catalyzed by aldolase. The inhibitors exhibit an activity comparable to sialyl Lewis X with respect to the E-selectin binding assay and high activities in the P- and L-selectin binding assays. The inhibitors are employable for blocking neutrophil inflamatory conditions.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for a forming molded underfills. A method is disclosed including loading a flip chip substrate into a selected one of the upper mold chase and lower mold chase of a mold press at a first temperature; positioning a molded underfill material in the at least one of the upper and lower mold chases while maintaining the first temperature which is lower than a melting temperature of the molded underfill material; forming a sealed mold cavity and creating a vacuum in the mold cavity; raising the temperature of the molded underfill material to a second temperature greater than the melting point to cause the molded underfill material to flow over the flip chip substrate forming an underfill layer and forming an overmolded layer; and cooling the flip chip substrate to a third temperature substantially lower than the melting temperature of the molded underfill material. An apparatus is disclosed.
Abstract:
A fully automatic simulation system for an input device permits storage in advance of executable applications and associated simulation setting flies into a database, and then combination of the detection, automatic data searching and matching, transmission and conversion, enabling rapid and convenient operation by the users, whenever they operate various applications or whether they adopt a keyboard, mouse or joystick as the simulation controller.
Abstract:
Cathepsin S inhibitors having formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV) as shown in the specification. These inhibitors can be used to treat cancer and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases.
Abstract:
Packaging methods and structures for semiconductor devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a packaged semiconductor device includes a redistribution layer (RDL) having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. At least one integrated circuit is coupled to the first surface of the RDL, and a plurality of metal bumps is coupled to the second surface of the RDL. A molding compound is disposed over the at least one integrated circuit and the first surface of the RDL.
Abstract:
A foldable electric device comprises a first member, a second member and a pivot portion. The pivot portion is used to pivot the first member and the second member. The first member comprises a first cushion pad and a first magnetic component. The first cushion pad is retractably disposed on a surface of the first member. The first magnetic component is installed in the first member, and synchronously moves with the first cushion pad. The second member comprises a second magnetic component. When the first member and the second member are covered together, with the magnetic effect between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, the first cushion pad is linked by the first magnetic unit to protrude from or retract into the first member.
Abstract:
Embodiments of mechanisms for flattening a packaged structure are provided. The mechanisms involve a flattening apparatus and the utilization of protection layer(s) between the packaged structure and the surface(s) of the flattening apparatus. The protection layer(s) is made of a soft and non-sticking material to allow protecting exposed fragile elements of the packaged structure and easy separation after processing. The embodiments of flattening process involve flattening the warped packaged structure by pressure under elevated processing temperature. Processing under elevated temperature allows the package structure to be flattened within a reasonable processing time.
