Abstract: Pour réduire les pertes mécaniques d'une pompe à palettes (10), on élimine les pertes dues à des frottements au profit de pertes de moindre importance dues au freinage visqueux d'un film fluide de palier lisse. Ledit palier lisse (80) supporte une cage ovale (70) tournant librement. La vitesse de coulissement entre la cage ovale et les palettes (26) est relativement faible, ce qui permet d'utiliser des matériaux moins chers et moins cassants dans la pompe du fait que celle-ci fonctionne à des vitesses beaucoup plus élevées sans tenir compte du dépassement de limite de vitesse des pointes de palette.

Abstract: A Z-fold print media handling system for printing banners and the like uses an inkjet printing mechanism without a tractor-feed. A series of stuttering stopping and starting steps generates varying static and dynamic frictional forces to separate the first sheet of a Z-fold stack from the remainder of the stack. Both conventional cut-sheet media and Z-fold media are fed using the same printing mechanism, which pulls the media toward a printzone through frictional engagement with a first surface of the media. To prevent printhead crashes and smearing the image near the perforations joining the Z-fold sheets, the printhead to media spacing is increased for 2-fold media over the standard spacing used for cut-sheet media. A cam feature is incorporated into the media drive clutch disk to determine whether an operator bas set a selector lever for cut-sheet or Z-fold printhead to media spacing.

Abstract: Group III-V, II-VI and related monocrystalline compounds are grown with a rigid support of a sealed ampoule, carbon doping and resistivity control, and thermal gradient control in a crystal growth furnace. A support cylinder provides structural support for the combined sealed ampoule crucible assembly, while low-density insulating material inside the support cylinder deters convection and conduction heating. Radiation channels penetrating the low-density material provide pathways for radiation heating into out of the seed well and transition regions of the crystal growth crucible. A hollow core in the insulation material directly beneath the seed well provides cooling in the center of the growing crystal, which enables uniform, level growth of the crystal ingot and a flat crystal-melt interface which results in crystal wafers with uniform electrical properties.

Title: Lymphoid chemokines in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of autoimmune disease
Inventor: SEGAL BENJAMIN M
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2005-04-15
Granted: 2014-08-12
Abstract: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a Th1-mediated autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that is widely used as an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study it was demonstrate that CXCL13, a chemokine involved in the development of secondary lymphoid tissues, is expressed in CD11c+ myeloid cells that accumulate in EAE lesions. Blockade or deficiency of CXCL13 ameliorates clinical EAE, both during acute and relapsing stages. CXCL13 deficiency did not inhibit the priming or differentiation of autoimmune effector T cells in the periphery, but appeared to exert its effects during the effector phase of pathogenesis. These findings indicate that reagents that antagonize or inhibit CXCL13 are useful for the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases such as MS.

This device includes a stop member that is movably configured with a back wall of the housing and is movable between a restricting position when the cover is in its open position, and a relief position when the cover is closed. A latch mechanism is disposed in the housing in a position so as latch the stop member in its restricting position when the cover is in the open position. An actuator is disposed on the cover at a location so as to engage and release the latch mechanism when the cover is closed. The stop member is then free to move towards its relief position whereby compressive pressure on the stack of folded sheets is relieved.

Title: Control of polymer surface molecular architecture via amphipathic endgroups
Inventor: WARD ROBERT S
IPC: A61L27/14
Filed: 2003-11-12
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: Polymers whose surfaces are modified by endgroups that include amphipathic surface-modifying moieties. An amphipathic endgroup of a polymer molecule is an endgroup that contains at least two moieties of significantly differing composition, such that the amphipathic endgroup spontaneously rearranges its positioning in a polymer body to position the moiety on the surface of the body, depending upon the composition of the medium with which the body is in contact, when that re-positioning causes a reduction in interfacial energy. An example of an amphipathic surface-modifying endgroup is one that has both a hydrophobic moiety and a hydrophilic moiety in a single endgroup. For instance, a hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) terminated with a hydrophilic hydroxyl group is not surface active in air when the surface-modifying endgroup is bonded to a more hydrophobic base polymer. If the hydroxyl group on the oligomeric poly(ethylene oxide) is replaced by a hydrophobic methoxy ether terminus, the poly(ethylene oxide) becomes surface active in air, and allows the poly(ethylene oxide) groups to crystallize in the air-facing surface. In this example, immersion in water destroys the crystallinity as the poly(ethylene oxide) sorbs water and the hydrophobic methoxy group retreats below the surface of the polymer. Also disclosed are methods and articles of manufacture that make use of these polymers.

Granted: 2012-04-10
Abstract: A hammock has a bed formed from a blank of flexible fabric. The blank is defined by opposed ends and opposed sides, the ends and sides of the blank coinciding with opposed ends and opposed side edges of the hammock respectively. Each side of the blank tapers inwardly from the ends, each end of the blank has a notch having opposed edges of equal length. The opposed edges of each notch taper inwardly from the end towards an apex. The opposed edges of each notch are attached by a seam to form the bed from the blank. Cross-braces proximal the ends of the hammock are connected to the side edges of the hammock at connection points opposed across the bed from one side edge to the opposite side edge. The fabric hangs underneath the cross-braces so that an occupant may rest level on the bed fully under the cross-braces. The hammock is suspended between upright structures, such as trees or posts, using a special connection involving a cargo hook having a hook portion and a ring portion. A special cam buckle having a slot is used to facilitate suspending and taking down the hammock. The hammock provides a very comfortable, stable and level sleeping position. The hammock may be provided with a bug screen and/or tent supported by a supporting system. The tent is constructed of separate sections that surround the hammock in use.
