The invention relates to expandable rubber bladders comprised of EPDM rubber for shaping and curing articles of conjugated diene-based elastomers such as pneumatic tires. The bladders are of a rubber composition comprised of resin cured EPDM rubber composition as a terpolymer of ethylene / propylene and a minor amount of a non-conjugated diene. The bladder composition may also contain castor oil, corn oil and / or soya-bean oil. The bladder composition may also contain at least one of graphite and polytetrafluoroethylene powder. Alternately, the EPDM-based bladder rubber composition may also contain a minor amount of a butyl-type of rubber. The invention also relates to a method of curing pneumatic rubber tires by utilizing such EPDM-based expandable rubber tire curing bladder in a tire curing press.

A system and method for treating subcutaneous histological features without affecting adjacent tissues adversely employs microwave energy of selected power, frequency and duration to penetrate subcutaneous tissue and heat target areas with optimum doses to permanently affect the undesirable features. The frequency chosen preferentially interacts with the target as opposed to adjacent tissue, and the microwave energy is delivered as a short pulse causing minimal discomfort and side effects. By distributing microwave energy at the skin over an area and adjusting power and frequency, different conditions, such as hirsuitism and telangiectasia, can be effectively treated.

A wire grip comprising a stationary-side gripping portion provided with a body and having a substantially straight front shape, and a movable-side wire gripping portion arranged to face the stationary-side wire gripping portion and set movable back and forth with respect to the stationary-side wire gripping portion, whereby the linear object can be gripped between the stationary-side wire gripping portion and the movable-side wire gripping portion, wherein a first action portion for moving the movable-side wire gripping portion back and forth and a second action portion connected to the first action portion by a connecting rod are turnably attached at their individual ends to the body, wherein the other end of the first action portion and the other end of the second action portion are turnably attached to one end of the connection rod and an intermediate portion of the connection rod, respectively, wherein the other end of the connecting rod is pulled substantially parallel to the stationary-side wire gripping portion and the movable-side wire gripping portion so that the connecting rod, the second action portion and the first action portion are linked to act to move the movable-side wire gripping portion forward with respect to the stationary-side wire gripping portion.

An implantable drug-delivery sleeve for an elongate component of an implantable medical device. The sleeve includes a tubular substrate having a lumen configured to receive the elongate component so as to allow relative displacement of the substrate and the elongate component, wherein the substrate is shaped so as to be retained stationary at a desired position along the elongate component, and a drug releasably carried by the substrate.

A method includes selectively controlling, at a computing device having a memory, initiation of a full garbage collection operation based on a total resource usage metric and a managed object metric. The managed object metric is based on objects managed by a runtime application.

The invention relates inter alia to a method of treating tumorous disease in a human patient by administering to the patient a human immunoglobulin specifically binding to the human EpCAM antigen, the immunoglobulin exhibiting a serum half-life of at least 15 days, the method comprising the step of administering the immunoglobulin no more frequently than once every week, preferably no more frequently than once every two weeks.

A pharmaceutical combination comprising (a) an ALK inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) at least one HDMA-2 / p53 receptor inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or at least one BRaf inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for simultaneous, separate or sequential administration; the uses of such combination in the treatment of cancer; and methods of treating a subject suffering from a proliferative disease comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of such combination.

A brake monitoring system is described for use on aircraft having carbon brakes. The system displays the number of times the brakes have been applied in a preselected counting interval such as during each takeoff and landing cycle. By raising the pilot's awareness of the number of times the brakes have been applied, a more efficient brake use is encouraged in view of the knowledge that carbon brake wear is substantially a function of the number of applications rather than the total energy that is converted thereby. Additionally, the monitoring system provides an indication of the temperature of the brakes which encourages the pilot to maintain a minimum temperature therein beyond which wear is reduced.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for forwarding data in a communications system. The implementation of the method includes: A data forwarding device forwards a data packet from a source end to a destination end by using a low-speed channel; during a procedure for forwarding the data packet from the source end to the destination end by using the low-speed channel, the data forwarding device receives a control command sent by a service processing node, where the control command is used to indicate that the data packet of the source end does not need to be forwarded to the service processing node; and the data forwarding device forwards the data packet from the source end to the destination end according to the indication of the control command by using a high-speed channel.

The invention relates to a method for producing tubular bags made from plastic film or from composite film having a plastic layer on the bag content side, having a self-cutting plastic closure attached to the tubular bag, consisting of a spout part having a fastening flange, a cutting body, which is movably guided in the spout part, and a screw cover having means for activating the cutting body. The film material (5) is supplied from a supply roll to a bag manufacturing machine and the plastic closure is sealed onto the film material in a spout region of a tubular bag. According to the invention, the film material (5) is thinned on the inside of the bag in a ring-shaped region, which is intended for cutting by the cutting body, by means of a thermal embossing process. The plastic closure is then positioned and sealed onto the film material such that the cutting organ embedded in the spout part can become effective in the thinned, ring-shaped region upon use thereof.

An implantable drug-delivery sleeve for an elongate component of an implantable medical device. The sleeve includes a tubular substrate having a lumen configured to receive the elongate component so as to allow relative displacement of the substrate and the elongate component, wherein the substrate is shaped so as to be retained stationary at a desired position along the elongate component, and a drug releasably carried by the substrate.

The invention relates to low flow rate cascade impactors for sampling aerosols, notably but not limited to pharmaceutical aerosols. The impactor stages serve as both orifice plate and collecting cup, simplifying collection and analysis. The impactor is designed to operate at flow rates approximating the inspiratory flow rates of young children and infants. Also presented is a method of and apparatus for applying a coating material to the collection surface of the stages after an impactor is assembled for use. The method entails generation of a polydisperse aerosol and sampling into the impactor. The coating substance improves the trapping of particles on the stages. The apparatus and method of application limit the amount of coating material applied and confines it to the regions of particle impact opposite the stage orifices.
