20100101111 | MULTISTRUCTURAL SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR A SOLE IN A RUNNING SHOE - A shoe structure for foot strike energy dissipation employs compressible members each having an internal void containing a first working fluid. A set of mating compressible members are each connected to a related one of the first compressible members through a fluid conduit such that the first working fluid is transferred from the related compressible member to the mating compressible member responsive to compression induced by foot strike. A sole pad and a foot bed intermediately constrain the compressible members. Resilient structural members are placed intermediate the compressible members to deform responsive to compression of the foot bed induced by foot strike provide both energy dissipation and resilient recovery of the compression cylinders to their uncompressed state. The sole pad and foot bed are interconnected by a peripheral wall forming a cavity which contains a second working fluid that is transmissible between the compressible members responsive to compression of the foot bed. Cooling tubes are provided for energy dissipation of the second working fluid which bathes the compressible members, conduits and resilient elements. A buoyant magnet carried within the void of at least one compressible member is displaced within the compressible member responsive to foot strike. An induction coil encircling the compressible member is operatively connected to a resistive element for energy dissipation responsive to electromagnetically generated current resulting from relative motion of the buoyant magnet. A repelling magnet having opposite polarity to the buoyant magnet is mounted in the compressible member to prevent bottoming out of the buoyant magnet during compression. | 04-29-2010 |

20140011700 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF H1N1 NUCLEOPROTEIN IN COMPLEX WITH ANTIVIRAL COMPOUNDS - The binding mode of the antiviral compounds have been characterized through a variety of biophysical and structural studies, elaborating on the proposed aggregation mechanism of action. We demonstrate the direct binding of these antiviral compounds to NP using thermal shift enhancement assay (TSE) and NMR. In addition, we have completed a detailed analysis of the oligomerization mechanism of action using dynamic light scattering, analytical ultracentrifugation, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Structure determination using x-ray crystallography confirmed the proposed compound-induced oligomerization mechanism of action. The co-crystal structure revealed that two compounds bound in an anti-parallel fashion bridging two NP monomers, inducing a novel non-native NP oligomer. Taken together, our data suggest a complex binding mode in which the compounds bind NP specifically in stoichiometric fashion inducing the formation of an NP oligomer without obstructing the RNA binding pocket or interfering with the native NP homo-oligomerization. | 01-09-2014 |

20110121987 | Ice Rink Door Safety System - A warning system comprising a proximity switch, fluorescent light and power source (AC or DC) which illuminates when the door of an ice rink is not fully closed and latched. The proximity switch, light and power source are all connected and installed on the inside of the ice rink boards, adjacent to the latch on the ice rink board's door. When the door latch on the ice rink boards is fully closed, the proximity switch shuts off power to the light which then turns off the light indicating the door is closed. If the door latch is not fully closed, the proximity switch is not flipped and power goes to the light indicating that the door is open. The ensuing benefit includes the reduction of injuries as a result of the warning light indicating the door to the ice rink is in fact open, which may result in a person inadvertently being injured as a result. | 05-26-2011 |
