Title: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome vaccine, based on isolate ja-142
Inventor: MENGELING WILLIAM L
IPC: C07K14/08
Filed: 2000-04-21
Abstract: Substantially avirulent forms of atypical porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus and corresponding vaccines are provided which result from cell culture passaging of virulent forms of PRRS.  The resultant avirulent atypical PRRS virus is useful as a vaccine in that PRRS specific antibody response is elicited by inoculation of host animals, thereby conferring effective immunity against both previously known strains of PRRS virus and newly isolated atypical PRRS  virus strains. The preferred passaging technique ensures that the virus remains in a logarithmic growth phase substantially throughout the process, which minimizes the time required to achieve attenuation.

Inventor: CARMEN DANIEL F
IPC: H05B39/08
Filed: 2007-06-19
Abstract: A multiple location dimming system comprises a plurality of dimmers coupled between an AC power source and a lighting load. Each of the plurality of dimmers is operable to control the intensity of the lighting load and comprises a controllably conductive device, e.g., a triac. The triacs of the plurality of dimmers are coupled in parallel electrical connection. Only an active one of the dimmers is operable to conduct a load current to the lighting load at any given time. A passive dimmer is operable to monitor the voltage across its triac in order to determine when the active dimmer is firing its triac. Accordingly, the passive dimmer is operable to fire its triac before the active dimmer fires its triac in order to "take over" control of the lighting load from the active dimmer to become the next active dimmer. Further, the passive dimmer is operable to determine the amount of power being delivered to the load and display this information on one or more status indicators.

Title: Anti-rotation pipe locator and holder
Inventor: BROWN LARRY D
IPC: F16L3/227
Filed: 2009-04-23
Abstract: A plumbing strap is fastened to a building. A tubular insert is placed throu gh a hole in a strap with posts on the tubular insert aligning with cut-outs in t he strap to restrict rotation of the tubular insert relative to the strap. A flange on o ne end of the tubular insert abuts the strap to restrict longitudinal motion of the tubula r insert. Latches on the tubular insert extend through the hole in the strap to engage the sid e of the strap opposite the flange and further restrict longitudinal movement of the tubula r insert. A collar is placed over the tubular insert and a pipe extends through the tubular insert and collar. The tubular insert has a base adjacent the flange and a skirt distal from the flange. Longitudinal slits in the base and skirt define resilient members in the bas e and in the skirt that extend in opposing directions, but that can move inward. The coll ar screws onto the tubular insert causing abutting surfaces on the collar and on the resilient members to force the resilient members inward to grip the pipe and restrain longitudinal and rotational movement of the pipe relative to the tubular insert and strap .
