Title: Mounting assembly for detachably supporting stuffing tubes on sausage encasing machines
Inventor: LEBSACK KENNETH L
IPC: A22C11/00
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: A stuffing tube mounting assembly has an elongated cylindrical barrel with a longitudinal center axis and forward and rearward ends. The barrel has a first barrel portion at the rearward end, a second barrel portion at the forward end, and an intermediate barrel portion in between the first and second barrel portions. The first and second barrel portions have outer surfaces concentric with the longitudinal center axis. The intermediate barrel portion has an outer surface with a center axis parallel to but eccentrically offset from the longitudinal center axis. A hollow elongated stuffing horn has a rearward end detachably telescopically mounted on the second barrel portion. A hollow collar has a longitudinal bore extending therethrough comprised of an eccentric bore portion and a concentric bore portion. The concentric bore portion extends around and embraces the rearward end of the stuffing tube mounted on the second barrel portion of the barrel. The eccentric bore portion has an inner surface with a center axis parallel to but eccentrically offset from the longitudinal axis. It rotatably embraces the outer surface of the intermediate barrel portion so that when the collar is rotated in a direction to disalign the center axes of the intermediate barrel of the barrel portion and the eccentric bore portion of the collar, the concentric bore portion of the collar will forcibly bear against the rearward end of the stuffing tube and bind it against the outer surface of the second barrel portion of the barrel.

Title: Fuel-fired furnace with self-cooling draft inducer fan
Inventor: KEPESKY ROBERT I
IPC: F04D25/08
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: A gas-fired forced draft air heating furnace is provided with a specially designed self-cooling draft inducer fan that overlies an inshot-type burner section of the furnace and is operatively supported on a heat exchanger plenum portion of the furnace housing. The fan motor is supported on an outboard housing side of the fan, and an umbrella cooling fan is coaxially secured to an outboard end of the fan drive shaft. During operation of the draft inducer fan, the umbrella fan is rotationally driven to direct a flow of ambient cooling air toward the outboard side of the draft inducer fan housing in a manner causing the air flow to sequentially contact and cool the outer shaft end bearing area, the motor windings and the inner shaft end bearing area at the outer side of the draft inducer fan housing. A baffle structure mounted on the outer draft inducer fan housing side serves to guide the cooling air flow along the inner shaft end bearing area and shield the burner flames from disruption by the cooling air flow area after it contacts the inner shaft end bearing area.

Title: A method for the characterisation of nucleic acid molecules involving generation of extendible upstream dna fragments resulting from the cleavage of nucleic acid at an abasic site
Inventor: VAUGHAN PATRICK MARTIN
IPC: C12Q1/6827
Filed: 1998-04-22
Abstract: A method for characterising nucleic acid molecules comprises the steps of: i) introducing a modified base which is a substrate for a DNA glycosylase into a DNA molecule; ii) excising the modified base by means of said DNA glycosylase so as to generate an abasic site; iii) cleaving the DNA at the abasic site so as to generate an upstream DNA  fragment that can be extended; and iv) incubating the extendible upstream fragment in the presence of an enzyme, for example a polymerase or a ligase allowing for extension thereof and a template nucleic acid and analysing the resultant fragment(s). The invention provides a novel, versatile and simple method using the above-mentioned extendible upstream DNA fragments which allows characterisation of nucleic acids and which has advantages over existing methods. One of the most important uses (but not the only use) of the method according to the invention is to scan or check a fragment of DNA (target nucleic acid) for the presence or absence of a mutation.

Abstract: In a text mining technique, if the system only extracts characteristic words and phrases frequently cooccurring with the respective components of an analysis axis as an analysis condition, similar words and phrases are extracted for any component. To clearly indicate existence of characaeristic words and phrases which do not appear as coocc:urrence words and phrases for other components of the analysis axis, it is desired to appropriately present distinguishable features between the components to t:he user. For this purpose, the frequency of appearances of a plurality of characteristic words and phrases in a document satisfying each analysis condition i.s calculated. As a result, multiple cooccurrence words and phrases and component-cooccurrence words and phrases are discriminatively displayed. It is therefore possible for the user to appropriately analyse the contents of a plurality of documents.
