Abstract:
A fence accessory includes at least two ornament bodies, each of the at least two ornament bodies including a first connecting part and a second connecting part at two opposing ends thereof. The first connecting part of one of the at least two ornament bodies and the second connecting part of an other one of the at least two ornament bodies are configured to be connected to a fence bar and clamped together as one unit. Moreover, each of the first connecting part and the second connecting part includes a hook and a slot at two opposing sides of the first connecting part and the second connecting part. The hook of the first connecting part of one ornament body is configured to connect to the slot of the second connecting part of an adjacent accessory body.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for point-to-point transmission over links between first and second link (end) terminals in a system implementing time division duplex (TDD) and wherein information is sent over the links in frames divided into time slots. It is adapted to determine the lengths of the frames on a per link basis using one or more link parameters, the frame length hence being variable.
Abstract:
Cross-linked proteins and peptides, and methods of making and uses of such cross-linked proteins and peptides. The cross-linked proteins and peptides have rigid, distance-matching bismethylene aryl cross-linking moieties. Compositions comprising the cross-linked proteins and peptides can be used as pharmaceutical delivery formulations. The cross-linked proteins and peptides can have improved properties, such as cell permeability, as compared to the parent protein or peptide.

Abstract:
Methods for making coatings on an implantable device such as a drug-eluting stent comprising a polymer and nano or microparticles of a drug in slow-dissolving polymorph, implantable devices produced by the methods and methods of using the coatings are provided.
Abstract:
A method for preparing stapled peptides. The stapled peptides, including helical stapled peptides, are prepared according to a photochemically-based method, a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction. The helical stapled peptides exhibit increased helicity, thermal stability and cell permeability.
Abstract:
The invention is related to a recombinant single-chain tri-specific antibody made from anti-Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA) antibody, FC interlinker, anti-CD3 antibody, HSA interlinker and anti-CD28 antibody in turn. Particularly, the invention relates to an anti-CEA, anti-CD3, anti-CD28 recombinant single-chain tri-specific antibody, CEA-scTsAb, which was constructed with three tandem antibody fragments (anti-CEA scFv, anti-CD3 scFv and anti-CD28 single-domain antibody) linked by two interlinkers (FC interlinker, HSA interlinker), and could be appended by C myc tag or histidine tag ((His)6-tag) at the C terminal. It also concerns a method for construction, expression and purification of the antibody. It also offers the encoded DNA sequence of the antibody, expression vectors and host cells for the vectors.

Abstract:
Biodegradable implants sized and suitable for implantation in an ocular region or site and methods for treating ocular conditions. The implants provide an extended release of an active agent at a therapeutically effective amount for a period of time between 50 days and one year, or longer.
Abstract:
A modular picket fence including a pair of vertical posts positioned at suitable distance and adapted to be secured to a suitable support surface. A pair of horizontal upper and lower rails extend between and secured to the vertical posts. The upper rail has a plurality of apertures which are aligned with a plurality of apertures on the lower rail. The apertures can be of any given shape including square, narrow rectangular, wide rectangular, oval, round, narrow polygonal and wide polygonal. A plurality of vertical pickets having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the shape of the apertures in the horizontal rails are respectively inserted through into aligned apertures of the upper and lower rails. The end portion of each vertical picket has two transverse apertures.
