Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and compositions for reducing the epigenetic age of organisms, especially that of adult humans, which provide for proliferating endogenous stem cells, removing aberrant epigenetic marks from chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA, and replacement of senescent cells.

Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and compositions of reducing the epigenetic age of mammalian organism, especially an adult human of geriatric age. The methods provide for the proliferation of endogenous stem cells using mitochondrial fusion and a UCP2 blocker or other stimulants; supplying stem cells with nutrition to prevent cell cycle arrest; and removal of senescent somatic cells using senolytic treatments. The proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells after plaque removal for the treatment of Alzheimer's is also disclosed.

Abstract:
The main rotor of a helicopter is driven by an epicyclic gearbox comprising a rotor sun gear coaxial and co-rotational with the rotor, a stationary sun gear coaxial with the rotor sun gear, at least one planet having an axis parallel to and rotating about the sun gear axis, and making contact with both sun gears. The planet comprises first and second planetary coaxial gears mechanically constrained to rotate together. The first planetary gear is in meshing engagement with the stationary sun gear and the second planetary gear is in meshing engagement with the rotor sun gear. The first planetary gear is also in meshing engagement with the internal teeth of a first ring gear and the second planetary gear is also in meshing engagement with the internal teeth of a second ring gear. The first and second ring gears are separately driven, and torque is combined by the planets.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns easily removable treatment tubes from fabric treatment apparatuses in order to facilitate replacement of such rolls for treatment modification, cleaning, disposal, or any other desirable purposes. Such treatment tubes are generally hollow and may be coated with any standard fabric treatment surface, including sandpaper, diamond grit, wires, brushes, and the like. The ability to easily remove and dispose of such treatment tubes thus provides a significant cost advantage to the manufacturer.
Abstract:
A method for continuous conditioning of a rubber blanket such as the type used on compressive shrinkage apparatus is described. The blanket includes an inner bearing surface defining a bearing face and an outer surface defining a web-contacting face. The web-contacting face is contacted under pressure with an abrasive conditioning roll while the blanket is in its regular, web treating operation. The blanket working face can thus be continuously conditioned without the need for lengthy machine stops. In this way, the conventional grinding and cleaning operations can be minimized or eliminated.
Abstract:
A ballistic resistant fabric formed by placing a polymer film on the fibers of a high tenacity fiber fabric which has a coefficient of friction higher than the coefficient of friction of the high tenacity fibers.
Abstract:
A process for angularly sueding a textile web containing fill and warp yarns with the steps of: supplying the web, controlling the tension of the web, engaging the web with at least one abrasive covered treatment roll disposed at an abrasion angle, rotating the treatment roll at a surface speed different from that of the web, and taking up the supplied web. A preferred embodiment comprises a pair of spaced treatment rolls disposed at an abrasion angle, and rotating in opposite directions relative to the web. The related apparatus for this specific process is also provided.
Abstract:
A fabric for use in the formation of a containment structure is provided. The fabric is formed by an arrangement of high tenacity polymer fibers. The fibers are at least partially coated with a powder which exhibits dilatant properties when hit by a moving article. Such powder is preferably nonlaminar in particle geometry and is more preferably characterized by fractal dimensionality. Among the contemplated uses for such fabric are automotive airbags and turbine engine safety wrappings.
