MINNETONKA, MN, April 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) Exlar Corporation has received a contract to provide linear actuators for Lockheed Martin's Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 (EQ-36) counterfire target acquisition radar systems.
Recently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan by the U.S. Army, the new EQ-36 radar systems can detect, classify, track and locate enemy indirect fire--such as mortars, artillery and rockets--in either 360- or 90-degree modes, providing greater protection for U.S. soldiers and their allies.
On the EQ-36 system, two Exlar FT35 linear actuators lift the radar mechanism into position. Exlar FT Series force tubes use a roller screw mounted inside a telescoping tube mechanism. The follower is attached to the moveable force tube, which then extends and retracts as the screw rotates. As with all Exlar's roller screw products, the FT Series force tubes provide high load capacity, high speed capabilities and exceptionally long life when compared to other mechanical actuator technologies.
The FT Series force tube design provides the contamination isolation advantages of hydraulic cylinders without the limited load/life/speed drawbacks of ball or acme screws. All converting components in the FT Series force tubes are mounted within the sealed housing. This prevents abrasive particles and other contamination from entering the actuator's critical mechanisms, assuring trouble-free operation even in the most severe environments.

Stress and depression are associated with shorter survival in head and neck cancer patients
2011-04-29
WASHINGTON, DC (April 28, 2011)––Studies have shown that stress can affect the immune system and weaken the body's defense against infection and disease. In cancer patients this stress can also affect a tumor's ability to grow and spread. However, the biological mechanisms that underlie such associations are not well understood. Now, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center find that poor psychosocial functioning is associated with greater vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression––a signaling protein that not only stimulates tumor growth, but is also associated ...
1 drug, many targets: Is this the future?
2011-04-29
Potential molecular targets of the anti-HIV drug nelfinavir have been identified, and may explain why the drug is also effective as a cancer therapy. Findings will be published in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology on 28th April 2011.
Nelfinavir is a protease inhibitor that prevents replication of the HIV virus. It has also been found to have a positive effect on a number of solid tumor types but the mechanism of how the drug worked in humans was unclear. Researchers from the University of California San Diego and the City University of New York (CUNY) ...
Green light for flu vaccine in transplant recipients

The results suggest that concerns about the safety of the influenza vaccine in transplant recipients are unwarranted.
Influenza can cause severe illness and even death in some individuals. Organ transplant recipients and those taking immunosuppressant medications face a particularly high risk of dying after being infected. Protection against the flu ...
