IPC: A61K9/14
Filed: 2004-06-15
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with delivering a pharmaceutical composition to the brain of a mammalian subject for treating brain diseases or disorders. The process includes the steps of: (i) providing a dispersion of the pharmaceutical composition as particles having an average particle size of from about 150 nm to about 100 microns, and (ii) administering the dispersion to the mammalian subject for delivery to the brain of a portion of the pharmaceutical composition by cells capable of reaching the brain. The dispersion of the pharmaceutical composition as particles, for example, can be phagocytised or adsorbed by the cells prior or subsequent to administration into the mammalian subject.

Title: Tailboom-stabilized vtol aircraft
Inventor: BALDWIN DOUGLAS G
IPC: B64C27/28
Filed: 2004-10-19
Abstract: A disclosed flying craft (100) includes a suspension structure (110) having a first end and a second end, a lift unit (150), and a payload unit (190). The lift unit includes a nacelle (128) and a tailboom (140), and pivotally couples to the first end of the suspension structure, and a payload unit couples to the structure~s second end. Thus the tailboom can pivotally couple with respect to the payload unit, which advantageously permits the tailboom to assume an orientation desirable for a particular mode of flight. During vertical flight or hover, the tailboom can hang from the lift unit in an orientation that is substantially parallel to the suspension structure and that minimizes resistance to downwash from the lift unit. During horizontal flight, the tailboom can be orthogonal to the suspension structure, extending rearward in an orientation where it can develop pitching and yawing moments to control and stabilize horizontal flight. Advantageous variations and methods are also disclosed.

Filed: 2005-01-18
Abstract: The present invention provides improved oculomotor testing devices and pain tolerance testing devices. Certain oculomotor testing devices test parameters including response time, reaction time, and movement time, as well as precision. The devices are adapted for ambulatory as well as semi-ambulatory and non-ambulatory individuals. Methods of using the devices are provided wherein a visual stimulus is provided and the individual is instructed to perform a movement specific to that visual stimulus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de transport et d'accumulation de produits descendant qui utilise une ou plusieurs bande(s) transporteuse(s) dotée(s) d'une section de chemin de produit sur laquelle lesdits produits sont transportés et d'une section d'accumulateur permettant d'accumuler ces produits afin de les remettre en circulation et éventuellement de les distribuer vers une destination avale. Une longueur de la section de chemin de produit se trouve à l'intérieur d'un premier plan transversal. La section d'accumulateur est située dans un second plan transversal espacée de la section de chemin de produit. Une surface de transfert sous forme de plaque coulissante, un système de plénum coulissant ou une autre surface à faible résistance ou sans friction est utilisée comme support de transfert. Plutôt que de transporter des produits mal alignés ou instables pour les distribuer immédiatement vers l'aval ou d'accumuler ces produits de sorte qu'ils atteignent un point de turbulence pouvant entraîner une interruption du système, lesdits produits sont transférés pour accumulation par déplacement sans à-coup et efficace de la section de chemin de produit vers le bas sur une surface transfert puis sur la section accumulateur. De là, les produits sont remis en circulation et correctement alignés pour une ultime distribution sans encombre vers l'aval.

Title: Knit tube flame resistant barriers
Inventor: LAND FRANK J
IPC: D06M13/08
Filed: 2005-09-07
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a flame resistant knit tube, made with either a seamless or seamed circular knit or a seamed or tubular warp knit fabric, used to protect a mattress, foundation, upholstery cushion, pillow, office panel, transportation seat or any other article requiring flame resistant protection. In this invention, a tubular knit fabric is formed utilizing flame resistant yarn and then optionally heat-set to prevent curling during subsequent cutting and processing. Heat-setting the knit fabric is especially preferred for circular knit constructions to prevent curling in subsequent processing. The knit tube is then cut to the length of the article to be flame protected, allowing enough additional length to sew a pocket closure on one end and a standard closure on the other end. First, one end of the tubular knit sock is sewn with a pocket closure seam, using a flame resistant thread or a suitable substitute. The open end of the tubular knit sock is then rolled up to the sewn pocket closure end so that it can be easily positioned over the article to be protected from flame. The rolled up knit sock is then unrolled down the length of the article to be flame protected.  The second closure seam is then sewn with flame resistant thread, or a suitable substitute, over the open end of the article to completely encapsulate and protect the article. The invention has particular applicability in the formation of fire resistant foam mattresses and foundations that require passage of large open flame tests such as California's Test Bulletin 603 and Test Bulletin 129 and in the formation of fire resistant foam upholstery cushions that require passage of California's Test Bulletin 133 or British Standard 5852 using the crib 5 ignition source.
