Title: Piston-type flushometer with inner cover
Inventor: NORTIER RICHARD A
IPC: E03D3/04
Filed: 2004-10-06
Granted: 2012-09-11
Abstract: A flush valve includes a body having an inlet and an outlet. There is a main seat assembly at the outlet. An outer cover is attached to the body and an inner cover is attached to the body within the outer cover. A piston is movable within the body and inner cover and, with the inner cover, defines a pressure chamber. The piston carries an exterior seal which bears against an inside wall of the inner cover during movement of the piston. A refill orifice in the piston connects the chamber with the body inlet. Pressure in the chamber maintains the piston closed upon the main seat assembly. A relief valve is positioned in the piston for venting the chamber to the outlet. When the relief valve is opened and the chamber is vented, the piston moves away from the main seat assembly connecting the inlet with the outlet.

Granted: 2010-12-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des films à motifs de perforation, conçus pour être reliés à d'autres films et caractérisés en ce que les perforations de chaque film définissent au moins une ligne de séparation (3, 4) qui est interrompue par des tenons selon un motif régulier et en ce que ces tenons présentent une largeur moyenne inférieure à la distance moyenne entre deux tenons. La largeur d'un tenon est de préférence inférieure à la distance entre ce tenon et le tenon qui lui est adjacent. Les films selon cette invention peuvent être mis sous forme de systèmes composites dans lesquels les films sont superposés de manière décalée, de façon que les tenons d'un premier film (A) et les tenons d'un second film (B) ne se chevauchent pas. Ainsi, lors d'une découpe ultérieure du système composite de films (C) en éléments individuels, on peut éviter une accumulation de matière de différents films individuels et un contact des différentes matières.

Title: Photosensitive resin printing plate precursor, method for producing the same, and method for producing letterpress printing plate using the same
Inventor: ICHIKAWA MICHIHIKO
IPC: G03F1/00
Filed: 2003-10-22
Granted: 2010-10-19
Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin printing plate precursor capable of forming a protruding relief pattern without using any original pattern film. Specifically, the present invention relates to a photosensitive resin printing plate precursor including: a photosensitive resin layer (A) containing a water-soluble or water-dispersible resin and an ultraviolet-curable monomer; and a water-insoluble heat-sensitive mask layer (C) containing an infrared-absorbing material, deposited in that order on a support. By introducing a crosslinked structure or a hydrophobic constituent to the heat-sensitive mask layer (C) so as to be insoluble in water, difference in polarity is produced between the layers (A) and (C) and, thus, mass transfer between the two layers can be prevented. Also, the scratch resistance of the heat-sensitive mask layer (C) can be dramatically enhanced and, thus, the printing plate precursor becomes easy to handle.

Title: Air compressor with inlet control mechanism and automatic inlet control mechanism
Inventor: CORNWELL JAMES
IPC: F04B49/00
Filed: 2004-04-19
Granted: 2010-01-26
Abstract: An automatic inlet control mechanism and air compressor unit include a valve cavity and valve outlet. The valve cavity includes a valve control chamber and valve inlet chamber. A valve piston assembly is positioned between the valve control chamber and the valve inlet chamber to prevent the flow of air between therebetween. The valve outlet allows air to flow from the valve inlet chamber into the compressor unit. The valve piston assembly prevents air from flowing from the valve inlet chamber to the valve outlet when the compressor unit is not drawing air. A vent passageway allows air to flow between the valve control chamber and the compression cylinder inlet when compression is begun at the start-up of the compressor unit or at the loading of the idling compressor unit. A vent orifice restricts the flow of air from the valve control chamber to the compression cylinder inlet.

Abstract: Composition (A) comprising a NS (non-structural) 3/NS4 polyprotein (I) and a NS5b polypeptide (II), both from hepatitis C virus (HCV). Independent claims are also included for: (1) expression vector (EV) that contains sequences encoding (I) and (II), plus necessary expression elements; (2) microorganisms and host cells transfected by EV; (3) antibodies (Ab) directed against (A) or EV; and (4) pharmaceutical composition or kit, particularly a vaccine, that contains (A), EV or Ab. ACTIVITY : Virucide; Hepatotropic. Mice were vaccinated with an adenovirus (Ad) that expressed HCV proteins, then inoculated with a recombinant vaccinia virus that expressed non-structural HCV proteins. Neutralization of vaccinia was determined 4 days later by a plaque-reduction assay on ovarian extracts. For 8 animals vaccinated with a control Ad, the total score was 77, but for 8 animals injected with two AdV that expressed NS3/NS4 and NS5b had a score of 52, i.e. the neutralization of virus was significantly more effective. Combinations of viruses that expressed NS3/NS4 and NS5b and either of NS5a or CE1E2 were no more effective than the control virus. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Vaccine; Passive immunization.
