TRV130

TRV130 is an opioid drug that is under evaluation in human clinical trials for the treatment of acute severe pain. It is a functionally selective μ-opioid receptor agonist developed by Trevena Inc. TRV130 elicits robust G protein signaling, with potency and efficacy similar to morphine, but with far less β-arrestin 2 recruitment and receptor internalization, it displays less adverse effects than morphine.

Top Race V6

Top Race V6 is a touring car race series held in Argentina. It was founded in 1997.

The cars

The Top Race V6 category sees the vehicles presented in silhouette form, with identical, strictly controlled mechanical specifications. Body styles currently running in the series are the Ford Mondeo, Chevrolet Vectra (aka Vauxhall/Opel Astra), Peugeot 407, Mercedes C-Class and Volkswagen Passat, all in sedan form. In previous seasons, Renault Laguna and Citroën C5 bodies were also used.

Engines are identical 3.0 litre V6 units tuned by Kit Berta to produce approximately 350 hp. Chassis (tubular steel), suspension (control front, independent rear), tires (Pirelli PZero slicks on 18 inch cast aluminium wheels) and gearboxes (Mark Saenz H-Pattern 5 speed) are all identical control items. The vehicles also run a uniform body kit consisting of front splitter/air dam, side skirts, and rear wing. Body modifications are allowed to present a more race oriented look (such as flared wheel arches and widened bodies), but this is also strictly controlled to keep all the vehicles even.

Sony DCR-TRV900

The Sony DCR-TRV900 was a DV tape camcorder released by Sony in 1998, with an MSRP of USD $2699. It was intended as a high-end consumer camera, more portable and less expensive than the top-of-the-line DCR-VX1000. It became one of several Sony and Canon models popular in late-'90s desktop video production, delivering quality comparable to then-dominant analog Betacam hardware at a fraction of the cost. In 2002, Sony replaced the TRV900 with the somewhat less well-received DCR-TRV950.

The camcorder had three 1/4-inch CCDs, which provided an exceptionally high-quality video image for a handheld camcorder of the period. It also had a 3.5-inch LCD screen, a color viewfinder, a 12x optical zoom, a 48x digital zoom, and a manual focus ring. (Often overlooked in consumer camcorders, this feature allows you to focus using a mechanical ring around the lens, offering precise control.) The camcorder included a FireWire port for transferring video to a computer.

At the time, Sony had a pattern of releasing "professional" upgraded versions of their most popular consumer cameras, with the same chassis shape but made from more durable materials and in a darker color. Extra features included XLR inputs and the ability to record in the higher-grade DVCAM format. The TRV900's pro equivalent was the DSR-PD100, released in 2000; the TRV950's was the DSR-PDX10.
