Granted: 2009-01-06
Abstract: The dry powder inhaler comprises an intake section; a mixing section, and a mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is connected by a swivel joint to the mixing section, and may swivel back into the intake section and be enclosed by a cover. The intake chamber comprises a piston with a tapered piston rod and spring, and one or more bleed-through orifices to modulate the flow of air through the device. It optionally comprises a feedback module to generate a tone indicating when the proper rate of airflow has been achieved. The mixing section holds a capsule with holes containing a dry powder medicament, and further opens and closes the capsule when the intake section is at a certain angle to the mouthpiece. The mixing section is a Venturi chamber to impart a cyclonic flow of air passing through the mixing chamber.

Title: Positional blasting system
Inventor: MCCLURE ROBERT
IPC: F42D1/055
Filed: 2004-11-04
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A blasting system (10) facilitates the actuation of a plurality of programmable detonators (13) according to a desired blasting pattern, to cause the discharge of a plurality of associated charges (16), by downloading to the detonators (13) blasting information that can be automatically determined by a portable handheld unit (12) that incorporates a positional detecting device, such as a GPS device. The blasting information for any given detonator can be determined by the handheld unit (12) as a function of the distance and the direction of the movement of the unit (12) to the detonator (13), and/or by the actual GPS location while at the site of the detonator (13). This automatic determination of blasting information, and particularly the delay times (56), based on the movement of the unit (12) to the detonator (13), eliminates error prone human calculations of the delay times (56) needed for multiple detonators (13) at a blasting site (15). This simplifies the operations and procedures needed for achieving a desired blasting pattern, without sacrificing safety or quality.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel rumen bacterial mutants resulted from the disruption of a lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldhA) and a pyruvate formate-lyase gene (pfl) (which are involved in the production of lactic acid, formic acid and acetic acid) from rumen bacteria; a novel bacterial mutant (Mannheimia sp. LPK7) having disruptions of a lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldhA), a pyruvate formate-lyase gene (plf), a phosphotransacetylase gene (pta), and a acetate kinase gene (ackA); a novel bacterial mutant (Mannheimia sp. LPK4) having disruptions of a lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldhA), a pyruvate formate-lyase gene (pfl) and a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene (ppc) involved in the immobilization of CO2 in a metabolic pathway of producing succinic acid; and a method for producing succinic acid, which is characterized by the culture of the above mutants in anaerobic conditions. The inventive bacterial mutants have the property of producing succinic acid at high concentration while producing little or no organic acids, as compared to the prior wild-type strains of producing various organic acids. Thus, the inventive bacterial mutants are useful as strains for the industrial production of succinic acid.

Title: Improved elevated batten system
Inventor: VANDEWATER GERALD CHARLES JR
IPC: E04D12/00
Filed: 2007-10-26
Granted: 2011-02-01
Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention are directed to an elevated batten system that includes a horizontal batten strip to which cylindrical-shaped pads are coupled. The pads elevate the horizontal batten strip above the roof deck surface, preventing water and debris from gathering on the roof deck surface and eliminating the need to install the vertical and horizontal battens in separate steps. Other various embodiments of the invention are directed to an elevated batten system that includes a horizontal batten strip to which pads are coupled that define a depressed portion. The depressed portion receives a fastener for coupling each pad to the horizontal batten strip, and in some embodiments, prevents irregularities in the height of the horizontal batten strip relative to the roof deck surface when installed on the roof deck surface.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système qui permet de coordonner plusieurs véhicules dans un environnement de circulation (par exemple des mines souterraines). Le système comprend des procédés et des appareils utilisés pour déterminer la position et l'orientation globales d'un véhicule dans ledit environnement de circulation; et des procédés de planification d'itinéraires et de surveillance de la circulation de plusieurs véhicules dans ledit environnement de circulation. Un système d'évaluation de la position et de l'orientation globales emploie un ou plusieurs capteurs odométriques et un ou plusieurs dispositifs de détection. Il fonctionne selon trois étapes fondamentales. Dans la première étape, il enregistre et traite des données du capteur décrivant l'environnement de circulation dans lequel il déplace le système. Dans la deuxième étape, il produit une carte globalement cohérente de l'environnement de circulation. Enfin, une localisation en temps réel est effectuée par des capteurs odométriques et des dispositifs capteurs d'images afin de déterminer la position et l'orientation globales par rapport à la carte globalement cohérente, tant au départ que lorsqu'il circule dans l'environnement de circulation. Un procédé de planification d'itinéraire prend en charge des objectifs de niveau plus élevé pour un ensemble de plusieurs véhicules présents dans l'environnement de circulation, et produit, pour chaque véhicule, un plan d'itinéraire qui réduit au minimum le temps de déplacement du groupe de véhicules tout en évitant les collisions entre véhicules. Des plans d'itinéraire sont envoyés au véhicules pour être suivis, et un procédé de surveillance contrôle les positions et orientations globales des véhicules et veille à la préservation de la sécurité et de l'efficacité.

Abstract: 13 The present invention pertains to a method for reducing the vibratory levels apt to occur, in a turbine engine including at least a first and a second bladed wheel, when the two wheels are in motion relative to one another around a rotation axis and traversed by a gaseous fluid, due to disturbances of aerodynamic origin produced by the second bladed wheel or by an obstacle on the first bladed wheel. The method includes the following steps during the design of the two said bladed wheels: an initial blade configuration is defined, the synchronous forced response on the first bladed wheel is calculated based on the harmonic excitation force produced by the second bladed wheel, expressed in the form of a linear function of the generalised aerodynamic force for the considered mode; for stacked cuts of one of the two wheels, a tangential geometric offset value .theta. is determined so as to reduce the term corresponding to the generalised aerodynamic force. All the cuts with tangential offsets thus define a new blade configuration for the said one of the two wheels, which is applied to the blades of the said one of the two wheels.
