High flow engineering thermoplastic compositions made from a thermoplastic host polymer and a low molecular weight flow modifier polymer, and products made therefrom. The flow modifier polymer is made by polymerizing at least one vinyl aromatic monomer and at least one (meth)acrylate monomer. The high flow engineering thermoplastics provide improved flowability and processability without sacrificing impact strength or heat resistance

Chemical modification of a glass and fused silica nanopore surfaces results in surface properties that are ideal for localized bilayer formation over a nanopore and subsequent ion channel recording. With no surface modification, one may form a bilayer supported on the glass capillary extending across the nanopore orifice. Changing the surface properties from that of bare glass to a moderately hydrophobic surface produces a lipid monolayer above the glass and spontaneously yields a bilayer across the nanopore orifice, effectively corralling a single protein ion channel in the lipid bilayer region spanning nanopore orifice. The bilayer structure over the modified nanopore is such that current can only flow through the protein ion channel. The protein ion channel is able to diffuse in the bilayer above the pore opening, but cannot leave this area to enter the lipid monolayer. The bilayer formed across the nanopore orifice exhibits high electrical breakdown voltage, is stable to mechanical vibrations, and is long lived. Resistance through the protein channel can be measured electrically and is exploited for stochastic single-molecule detection. Protein ion channels can be inserted and removed from the bilayer by adjusting transmembrane pressure, and adapter molecules can be electrostatically trapped in the ion channel by applying high transmembrane voltages.

A computer simulation enhanced exercise device is provided which engages the user by directly relating the users exercise motion in real time to a visual simulation or interactive game. The exercise device may comprise any variety of machines including, stationary bikes, rowing machines, treadmills, stepper, elliptical gliders or under desk exercise. These exercise devices are configured with sensors to measure physical movements as the user exercises and are coupled to computer hardware with modeling and virtualization software to create the system. These sensor measurements are then sent to a computer for use in the physics based modeling and real-time visual simulation. The computer simulation enhanced exercise device is further provided with features including manual and automatic adjustment of resistance levels, visualization of accurate caloric bum rates and correlation to everyday food items, and network connectivity providing for multiplayer network simulations and directed advertising.

A large sized thin-walled shaped article having a complicated shape can be realized by improving fluidity at the time of shaping without deterioration of the intrinsic characteristic properties of an aromatic polycarbonate resin, namely, transparency, resistance to exfoliation of surface layer, thermal resistance, impact resistance, and chemical resistance. Specifically disclosed is a fluidity-improving agent containing 0.5 to 99.5 parts by mass of a polymer (A) which is obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture (a) containing 0.5 to 99% by mass of (a1) an aromatic vinyl monomer, 0.5 to 99% by mass of (a2) a phenyl(meth)acrylate or a phenyl(meth)acrylate having a substituent in a phenyl group, and 0.5 to 5% by mass of (a3) a vinyl monomer having a functional group (X), and 0.5 to 99.5 parts by mass of a polymer (B) which is obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture (b) comprising (b1) a phenyl (meth)acrylate or a phenyl (meth)acrylate having a substituent in a phenyl group with a compound having a functional group (Y) capable of reacting with the functional group (X), with the proviso that a total of the polymer (A) and the polymer (B) is 100 parts by mass.
