435 691, 435325, 4353201, 4352523, 536 235, 536 231

Abstract:

The present invention features a human neurogenin3 (Ngn3) polypeptide and nucleotide sequences encoding Ngn3 polypeptides. In a particular aspect, the polynucleotide is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. In addition, the invention features isolated nucleic acid sequence comprising an Ngn3 promoter, as well as a polynucleotide sequences that hybridize under stringent conditions to SEQ ID NO:1. In related aspects the invention features expression vectors and host cells comprising polynucleotides that encode a human Ngn3 polypeptide. The present invention also relates to antibodies that bind specifically to a human Ngn3 polypeptide, methods for producing human Ngn3 polypeptides, methods for identifying -cell precursor cells expressing Ngn3, methods for using the Ngn3 gene and the Ngn3 polypeptide to alter cellular differentiation in culture or in vivo to produce new -cells to treat patients with diabetes mellitus, and identification of individuals at risk for diabetes by detecting alteration in Ngn3 coding and regulatory sequences and Ngn3 expression levels.

Assignee:

Pacific Link Holdings, Corp. - Torrance CA

International Classification:

B63B 1/00

US Classification:

441 65, 441 74

Abstract:

A body board, or sports board, for recreational activities on snow or on water is disclosed. The board has a foam core, a binding layer laminated on top of one surface of the foam core, a printed graphics layer laminated on top of the binding layer and a clear protection layer laminated on top of the printed graphics layer. On the bottom surface of the board, the foam core can have a bottom foam layer applied thereto and a slick skin applied onto the outside of the bottom foam layer. The bottom surface can also have the graphics layer and binding layer applied between the bottom foam layer and the slick skin to provide an additional graphics side.

Inventors:

Joseph T. Lin - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:

Western Digital Technologies, Inc. - Lake Forest CA

International Classification:

G11B 17/02

US Classification:

360 9908, 360 9912

Abstract:

A disk drive includes a disk drive base and a spindle motor including a spindle motor hub, a spindle motor shaft and a stator. The hub includes an upper end and a lower end. The hub is rotatably coupled to the base via the shaft for rotating the hub about an axis of rotation. The lower end is disposed towards the disk drive base. The stator is attached to the base adjacent the lower end. A balancing ring is attached to the lower end of the hub about the shaft. The disk drive further includes a balancing weight attached to the ring. The weight is attachable to the ring through the disk drive base with the ring attached to the lower end of the hub. A method of balancing the hub is further provided using the ring and the weight.
