Brain impairment, for example due to stroke, is corrected in order to improve body movement. An fNIRS device is positioned over the motor cortex of non-impaired individuals, and blood oxygen in locations of the brain is analyzed to determine brain activity corresponding to a particular body movement. The movements are statistically analyzed, and are compared with fNIRS data gathered from a movement impaired individual attempting the same movement. A weighted value corresponding to the desired brain activity is generated using the statistical analysis, and is graphically displayed to the movement impaired individual during the attempts. This produces a feedback loop relating to the movement which can be repeated to produce brain plasticity in the impaired individual to facilitate the movement. Additionally, correct brain activity can be used to cause the application of an electrical signal to muscles of the body to produce the desired movement.

The present invention relates to a hybrid/ fusion protein derived from the CS protein of Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax), methods for preparing and purifying the same, its use in medicine, particularly in the prevention of malarial infections, for example those caused by P. vivax, compositions/vaccines containing the protein or antibodies against the protein such as monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies and use of the same, particularly in therapy. The invention also extends to lipoprotein particles of said hybrid protein and formulations/vaccines comprising the same and use thereof. In particular it relates to an immunogenic hybrid fusion protein comprising: a. at least one repeat unit derived from the repeating region of a type I circumsporozoite protein of P. vivax, b. at least one repeat unit derived from the repeating region of a type II circumsporozoite protein of P. vivax, and surface antigen S derived from Hepatitis B virus, or a fragment thereof

A KE rod warhead for artillery rockets contains a multiplicity of KE rod penetrators (202) packaged into tier packs (104A, 104B, 104C) that are stacked and positioned around a center column (102) of the warhead. The warhead has a skin (105) that is severed when the rocket enters its target area. The KE rods (202) are situated and housed in such a manner that they experience a minimum of pitching or tumbling as they are released from the rocket and enter the airstream. As a result, the rods have optimum lethality against their target. The KE rod artillery rocket warhead contains no explosive munitions, so it can be used without contaminating the target area with unexploded ordnance.

The Trajectory Correction Kit (101) is a completely self-contained retrofit kit that is externally and fixedly mounted as an add-on to the rear of an existing, unguided rocket. The TCK continuously measures the pitch and yaw of the rocket as it is released from the launch tube and during the initial seconds of the flight and calculates the trajectory correction that is necessary to eliminate the measured pitch and yaw. Then it activates selected thrusters among the thrusters (301, 401) that are positioned around the circumference of the rocket body (100) so as to steer the rocket in a direction until the measured pitch and yaw are eliminated.

Abrégé

The present invention comprises a device which utilizes catalytic microcombustion for the production of heat or power and which exhibits a low pressure drop and has a high catalytic surface area. The catalytic microcombustor includes catalyst inserts in the reaction chamber separated by a sub millimeter distance. Thermal spreaders ensure temperature uniformity and maximum thermal efficiency. A mixing zone is prior to the combustion zone. Thermally conductive and/or insulating inserts are in the vicinity of the reaction zone.
