Title: Apparatus and method for brewer control
Inventor: KOBYLARZ ROBERT J
IPC: A47J31/057
Filed: 2003-05-06
Abstract: A beverage making apparatus, method, method of using such a beverage making apparatus and method of cleaning a beverage making apparatus is disclosed. T he beverage making apparatus includes a liquid basin (16) for receiving a quantity of liquid and is in communication with a reservoir (20) for retaini ng a volume of heated liquid. A control valve (40) is provided and positioned f or communication with the basin and reservoir for controlling flow of liquid fr om the basin to the reservoir. A controller (14) is coupled to the control valv e for at least selectively operating the control valve for selectively controlling the flow of liquid from the basin to the reservoir. The control valve can be selectively operated to produce a generally continuous flow of liquid from the basin to the reservoir or may be controller for multiple dispensings of liquid from the basin to the reservoir during a brewing cycle . A liquid delivery assembly shown in one form as a tube (18) which communicat es with the reservoir and a beverage substance retaining funnel (28) is provide d without any interruptions along its length. The absence of any control devic es along the length of the tube allows for particles, lime and other mineral deposits to be removed from the tube along its entire length extending from a spray head to a port in the reservoir.

Abstract: Plasmid DNA delivered by injection / electroporation to the skeletal muscle can be expressed, and physiologic levels of transgene could be achieved into the circulation. Nevertheless, stabilization of naked DNA may be required and necessary in some cases, as prolonged storage at different temperatures before usage, injection into a large number of animals, etc. It is imperative that the associated compound should not be toxic to the cells (e.g. muscle cells) or cause breakage of plasmid DNA. It would be preferable for the coated DNA to have a similar or increased uptake into the target cells. Low molecular weight poly~L-glutamate compounds have all the desired properties. It was determined that mole/mole ratio DNA/PLG is the optimum concentration for gene therapeutic applications to the skeletal muscle, resulting in increased expression of the transgene, with no damage to the target tissue. Furthermore, stabilization of plasmid DNA by PLG has never been observed or described in the literature.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des peptides présentant une activité biologique et pharmacologique élevée qui peuvent servir de médicament thérapeutique pour traiter des maladies liées à la sarcoïdose. Ces peptides qui peuvent être employés selon l'invention pour traiter ladite maladie, comprennent au moins une séquence spécifique très conservée de résidus d'acides aminés, qui semble jouer un rôle important dans les phénomènes d'hypertension artérielle pulmonaire. Il a été montré que les peptides d'origine naturelle connus, le peptide intestinal vasoactif (VIP) et le polypeptide activant l'adénylate cyclase pituitaire (PACAP), qui comportent ces séquences spécifiques, constituent des médicaments potentiels qui peuvent être utilisés de manière fructueuse pour traiter une sarcoïdose. Cette invention se rapporte en outre à un procédé permettant de traiter des patients atteints d'une sarcoïdose.

Title: Ac power backfeed protection based on phase shift
Inventor: UNGER THOMAS MICHAEL
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2004-12-10
Abstract: A system having input terminals including line and neutral terminals for receiving AC power from a first AC source and having output terminals including output line and neutral terminals for receiving AC power from output terminals of a second AC source and for supplying AC power to a load, has a transfer switch configurable to connect the input terminals to the output terminals or to isolate the input terminals from the output terminals. When the transfer switch is configured to isolate the output terminals from the input terminals, the second AC source is caused to cease supplying power to the output terminals when after phase shifting the voltage produced by the second source the voltage at the input terminals is in-phase with that voltage.

Abstract: A method of embossing a sheet material includes: heating at least a portion of the sheet directly or indirectly with radiant energy from a radiant energy source; pressing a tool against he heated portion of the sheet, thereby patterning a surface of the sheet; and separating the sheet and the tool. The radiant energy may travel through a solid material that is relatively transparent to radiation, on its way to being absorbed by a relatively-absorptive material. The relatively-transparent material may be an unheated portion of the sheet, and the relatively-absorptive material may be either the tool or the heated portion of the sheet. Alternatively, the relatively-transparent material may be the tool, and the relatively-absorptive material may be all or part of the sheet. The method may be performed as one or more roll-to-roll operations.

Filed: 2001-11-19
Abstract: Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways of the respiratory organ. It is characterized by reversible airflow obstruction causing cough, wheeze, chest lightness and shortness of breath. The inflammation of bronchial wall together with increased eosinophilis and othe r inflammatory products of the mast cells and lymphocytes further induce the hyper responsiveness of the bronchi so that it in turn, narrows more rapidly in response to a wide range of stimuli. Asmakure the anti-asthma drug has properties with proven pharmacological use for alleviating common cold and persistent cough and finally building up of immunity against recurrence of Asthma. One of the ingredients Adhatoda Vasica Nees (Basak) has a definite expectorant action. In acute bronchitis, it is found to afford immediate relief especially when the sputum is thick and tenacious. The depression of the Vagal terminals further relieves irritation and spasm of the bronchioles .
