Abstract:
When mixing cutting between video cameras viewing a common scene from different viewpoints, geometric transforms that vary from image to image are applied to one or both camera outputs so as to create an apparent point of view that moves along on a path joining the viewpoints of the cameras.
Abstract:
Methods for inhibiting the activity of FAAH and methods for preventing and/or treating certain disorders, e.g., anxiety disorders, sleep disorders and weight disorders, by administering celecoxib, valdecoxib or certain structurally related compounds at a dosage that is sufficient to treat and/or prevent the disorder are described.
Abstract:
Certain substituted indoles that are modulators of one or more or of CRTH2, COX-2 AND FAAH are described. The compounds are useful for treatment of pain and/or inflammation as well as other disorders.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a data storage device and a method of reading data in a data storage device. Accordingly, a first aspect of the present invention is a data storage device. The data storage device includes a probe tip mounted on a suspension mechanism, a data storage layer, at least one conducting layer wherein a capacitance is formed between the suspension mechanism and the at least one conducting layer and a sensor for sensing a change in the capacitance based on a displacement of the probe tip due to the presence of a bit.
Abstract:
A multi-port valve provides three inlets and three outlets. In many embodiments, seven flow configurations are provided. A stemshell can rotate internal to a housing to direct fluid from specific inlets to specific outlets while saving flow through various inlet/outlet ports as required by the various flow configurations.
Abstract:
The invention discloses compounds of formula (I); wherein: R is a carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof; R1 is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, halo or trihalomethyl; R2 is aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl; R3 is H or F; and L is a linking group comprising a chain of from 2 to 8 atoms linking R and the carbonyl group (A); and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof, useful for treating disorders mediated by peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subtype δ (PPARδ). The compounds of the invention are therefore useful in the treatment of metabolic syndrome, obesity, type-II diabetes, dyslipidemia, wound healing, inflammation, neurodegenerative disorders and multiple sclerosis.
Abstract:
Compounds and methods for the treatment of asthma are disclosed. The methods involve mast cell stabilization together with selective inhibition of iNOS. The compounds are combinations of a mast cell inhibiting moiety and an inhibitor of iNOS. An example is:
Abstract:
A damper assembly for use in a refrigeration system having a temperature adjustable compartment is presented. The damper assembly comprises a housing and a damper door assembly rotatable therein. The housing includes a flange that cooperates with a semicircular flange of the damper door assembly to form two air flow channels in the housing. When the damper door is open, chilled air from the freezer compartment is allowed to circulate through the damper assembly and through the compartment to provide a quick chill mode of operation. The damper door is also rotatable to a closed position that allows air to circulate within the damper assembly and the compartment. A heater may be included to provide a quick defrost mode of operation.
Abstract:
The invention provides an isolated S. aureus ribosomal polypeptide S16, and the isolated polynucleotide molecules that encode them, vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotide molecules and also methods for the identification of agents effect ribosomal assembly.
