International Classification:

G06F 116

US Classification:

361683, 3122231, 211 901

Abstract:

A fully integrated computer rack mount system comprising: at least one shelving unit configured to store computers; at least one electrical panel coupled to at least one of the at least one shelving unit, the at least one electrical panel configured to receive power from an external source; at least one network panel, coupled to at least one of the at least one shelving units, the at least one network panel configured to receive network connectivity from an outside source; a raceway apparatus coupled to the back plane or the front-plane of each of the at least one shelving unit, the raceway apparatus comprising a horizontal raceway and a vertical member, said vertical member comprising a power interface and a network interface; where said raceway apparatus is configured to allow each computer stored in the shelving units to be proximately connectable to the power interface and network interface; where the at least one electrical panel is coupled via said horizontal raceway to each power interface; and where the at least one network panel is coupled via said horizontal raceway to each network interface. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understand that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1. 72( ).

International Classification:

A61K 9/127

Abstract:

This application is directed to methods which allow for encapsulation of an array of biological materials under physiological conditions that are relevant given a biological context and the compositions made using those methods. These reconstituted biological materials encompass: a) purified proteins that can bind to the lipid membranes inside and outside of vesicles based on the electrostatic charge; b) purified cytosolic proteins that position themselves in the lumen of the vesicles, c) mammalian cell extracts with an array of cytosolic protein content, among other contents and d) small biological molecules such as DNA and RNA as well as fluorescent dyes/probes. These vesicles can be used to simulate cells in drug discovery methods as well as useful in administering drugs and other compositions to cells in vitro and in vivo.

International Classification:

A61K 38/45
G01N 33/50

C12N 9/12

Abstract:

Described are method of treating or preventing lung disease in a subject comprising the steps of: administering to a subject an agent that modulates the expression, the amount, or activity, of adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) in the lungs of a subject. The treatment enhances airway surface (ASL) thickness in the lung of a subject compared to a lung of a reference subject that has not been given the agent.
