Title: Automatic drain valve
Inventor: CORNWELL JAMES P
IPC: F16K51/00
Filed: 1999-06-28
Granted: 2006-05-24
Abstract: A drain valve removes liquid from a compressed air system whenever cycling pressure of the system reaches either a preselected high drain pressure or a preselected low drain pressure at an inlet port of the valve. An inlet face of a piston of an adjustable pressure valve assembly within a valve body normally seals the inlet port when there is no pressure. The piston is located within a portion of a central cavity of the valve. The piston's inlet face is of a size which allows the force of the adjustable pressure valve assembly to be overcome by a pre-selected high drain pressure at the inlet port. The area of a vent face on the other side of the piston has a size which, when the vent face is sealing the vent passageway, prevents the force exerted by the adjustable pressure valve assembly from overcoming the pressure of the compressed air system until a pre-selected low drain pressure is reached at the inlet port. In either case, the relative sizes of an opening between an inlet cavity and a vent cavity within which the piston is mounted and a vent orifice, and the area of a dividing member mounted across the piston between the inlet cavity and the vent cavity, allow liquid to be drained by the drain valve until such time as all liquid has been removed and compressed air fills the valve.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil (10) comprenant une pluralité de moyens destinés à former des boucles d'une bande continue de matière (101), chacun de ces moyens étant positionné entre des plaques supports adjacentes (20), caractérisé en ce que chacune de ces surfaces supports de la bande est située sur un arc de cercle et les arcs s'étendent sur la circonférence d'un parcours circulaire, et en ce que les surfaces supports et les moyens de formation des boucles (101) sont montés de manière à se déplacer en rotation autour de l'axe dudit parcours circulaire. Selon une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, les moyens de formation des boucles (101) sont obtenus par entraînement en rotation des plaques supports de bande (20) le long du parcours circulaire avec une vitesse circonférentielle variant entre une valeur minimale et une valeur maximale, de telle sorte que la distance entre des plaques supports adjacentes (20) varie entre une distance minimale et une distance maximale. De préférence, la vitesse circonférentielle des plaques supports (20) varie suivant une fonction sinusoïdale, un cycle de cette fonction sinusoïdale correspondant à une rotation complète de la plaque support (20) sur ledit parcours circulaire. L'invention concerne également un procédé de transport d'une bande continue autour de l'appareil précité, caractérisé en ce que la distance entre des plaques supports de bande adjacentes (20) est supérieure à la distance minimale, et en ce que la bande est transportée le long du parcours circulaire, de telle façon qu'une boucle de bande (101) soit formée lorsque la distance entre des plaques supports adjacentes (20) décroît pour atteindre la distance minimale.

Abstract: Herein it is shown that hemoproteins (e.g., Ascaris hemoglobin, myoglobin, flavohemoglobins) have NO-consuming and deoxygenase activities. The invention provides a method of reducing the concentration of oxygen and/or nitric oxide in a mammal. The method of the invention comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a hemoprotein having NO-activated deoxygenase activity or an enzymatically active fragment thereof to a mammal. The method can be used to treat a mammal having pathologically proliferating cells, such as a tumor. In one embodiment, the hemoprotein is administered to reduce the oxygen concentration of a tumor. In another embodiment, the hemoprotein is administered together with a cytotoxic agent to treat a mammal having a tumor. The invention also provides a method of enzymatically generating toxic reactive oxygen species in a mammal for therapeutic purposes. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a hemoprotein to a mammal. The invention also provides a composition comprising a hemoprotein having deoxygenase activity or an enzymatically active fragment thereof and a physiologically acceptable carrier. In one embodiment, the composition further comprises a cytotoxic agent and/or a reducing agent. The invention further provides a method of treating a mammal infected with Ascaris sp., comprising administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of NO synthase. The NO-consuming activity of a hemoprotein (e.g., a flavohemoglobin) can be used in a treatment where constriction of blood vessels is desirable, or where it is otherwise desirable to reduce NO concentration, as in inflammation.

Abstract: A portable card reader is designed to be carried in a wallet or purse. In a first embodiment, the card reader has an electromagnetic head that reads information from a magnetic strip of a card. In a second embodiment, information is read from the card by an array of Hall sensors. In both embodiments, the information read from the card is converted to a sequence of electronic bursts of predetermined frequency, preferably in the audible or ultrasound range. The sound signals are output by a speaker to the microphone of a telephone. The signal is then transmitted over the telephone lines to a remote receiver. The receiver then converts the sound bursts into signal pulses which can be read using the computer software of a conventional card reader.

Abstract: A communication system and method requiring minimal adaptation of TDD equipment to support an FDD frame structure, includes a novel frame structure by which a plurality of user stations, each having a single frequency synthesizer, communicate with a base station. According to the frame structure, a time frame comprises a plurality of time slots each divided into a first time segment and a second time segment. Transmissions from user stations are sent over the user transmission frequency band, and alternate in time with transmissions from the base station sent over the base transmission frequency band in a manner to provide adequate transmit/receive switching time for the user stations. The user stations preferably transmit to the base station in the first time segment of a time slot, and the base station preferably transmits in the second time segment of a time slot, such that the base station and user stations do not transmit simultaneously. In one embodiment, a duplex communication includes a user station transmission and a base station transmission in adjacent time slots. In an alternative embodiment, a duplex communication includes a user station transmission separated by approximately one-half the time frame from the base station transmission. User stations and/or base stations originally configured for TDD communication can be adapted or modified to support the various FDD frame structures of the present invention with minimal reconfiguration to the software and/or hardware.
