4241931, 4242651, 4242691, 514 2

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods of treating inflammatory diseases, inhibiting production of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells, inhibiting production of nitric oxide synthase by macrophages, inhibiting production of tissue factor by endothelial cells, reversing the inhibitory effects of lipophosphoglycan on endothelial cells or macrophages, and targeting a material to endothelial cells, fibroblasts, or monocytes, by administering lipophosphoglycan or lipophosphoglycan analog. Also disclosed is an isolated DNA molecule suitable for connection to a gene capable of transcription where lipophophoglycan or lipophosphoglycan analogues bind to the DNA molecule and antagonizes transcription of the gene.

International Classification:

G08B 13/14

US Classification:

3405728, 3405721, 3405727, 235492

Abstract:

A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) and a digital flash card are disclosed including an internal, built-in RFID tag in which identification and product information is contained. The RFID tag has an RF integrated circuit chip and antenna traces spreading outwardly therefrom to permit access to the information contained by the RF chip. In the case of a DIMM, the RF integrated circuit chip and its antenna traces are located on top of or between the layers of a multi-layer laminated printed wiring board substrate. In the case of a digital flash card, the RF integrated circuit chip and its antenna traces are preferably located on top of a multi-layer printed wiring board substrate and then encapsulated within a molded cover. In the alternative, the RF chip and its antenna traces are attached to the inside of a cover that extends over and is spaced above the printed wiring board substrate.

Kingston Digital, Inc. - Fountain Valley CA

International Classification:

H01R 13/44

US Classification:

439131

Abstract:

A mechanism for extending and retracting the electrical connector in a flash memory thumb drive is disclosed. The flash memory and USB connector are disposed on a printed circuit board. The board is slidably disposed within a housing so that the connector can be extended beyond and retracted within the housing. An arm on a pivot can be rotated in one direction so that another lever extends the board, and rotated in the opposite direction to retract it.

Assignee:

Kingston Technology Corp. - Fountain Valley CA

International Classification:

H01R 13/00

US Classification:

43962021

Abstract:

A thumb drive with a miniaturized memory storage assembly package that employs an extended chassis structure to support the miniaturized memory device within an ergonomically designed casing that is also simple to manufacture. The miniaturized memory storage assembly has a flexible latch projection extending from its side that mates with a complimentary latch aperture in the side of the connector housing. Downwardly projecting tongues in the top surface of the connector housing also prevent movement of the assembly within the housing. The elongated platform chassis extending rearwardly from the USB connector housing snaps in place in an ergonomically designed thumb drive case.

Abstract:

The ability to monitor the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in patients is paramount to the study of HIV transmission, in predicting the onset and advancement of disease, and evaluating the clinical efficacy of therapeutics. Present methods available to the clinician for the study of HIV pathogenesis employ surrogate markers. Surrogate markers are biological indicators that tend to reflect, to varying extent, the gradual progression of the asymptomatic state to the development of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The most commonly used markers are CD4. sup. + lymphocyte counts and HIV p24 antigen production. The use of markers to evaluate disease progression suffers from a number of limitations. No known marker consistently reflects disease progression in all patients and stages of disease. Moreover, an effective marker must rapidly reflect the changes associated with antiviral therapy.
