Title: Thermally responsive protection apparatus for electric motors
Inventor: BAER MARK E
IPC: H01H37/76
Filed: 2001-07-09
Granted: 2007-09-18
Abstract: A thermal protection mechanism for electric motors includes a pair of spaced contacts secured to an electrically insulating carrier having a cavity and a surface adjacent to a motor winding. The surface of the carrier has an aperture that forms a thermal passage between the surface of the carrier and the cavity. The contacts are engaged with a fusible electrically conductive pin made of solder that is disposed within the cavity and that interposes along a current path to the windings of a motor. A high winding temperature causes the pin to fuse, thereby terminating operation of the motor.

Granted: 2009-09-08
Abstract: An autotensioner comprises a torsion coil spring interposed between a base and a rocking arm, and a tubular bushing provided between an inside surface of the base and an outside surface of the rocking arm. The torsion coil spring pushes and biases the rocking arm toward the bushing, and brings the pushing direction substantially in coincidence with the axial load direction of the force, acting on a stepped bolt supporting the rocking arm, from a belt. When the belt tension becomes high, the arm axial center displaces slightly from the base axial center, an extremely large first damping force acts on the rocking arm. When the belt tension becomes low, the smaller second damping force acts on the rocking arm.

Title: Electric signal processing for electroacoustic transducer
Inventor: PERRICHON CLAUDE-ANNIE
IPC: H04R3/04
Filed: 1999-07-22
Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: It is usual to utilise electric current filters for electroacoustic transducers, said filters are in general frequency mixers.  Audio electric signals have a pulse response quality and excellent frequency adjustment. As for electroacoustic transducers, the transformation is not properly carried out for electroacoustic transducers.  The electric pulses travel at the speed of the electrons whereas the membrane and its motor have a specific weight. Said weight has a mechanical inertia preventing an instantaneous response to the electric effects. The invention concerns a method which consists in modifying at least one modulation of the orignal electric pulse into micro electrical phase shifts. Said micro phase shifts are generated by impedance of the components. An apparatus consists of several components of similar type mounted in parallel, thereby forming a self-powered oscillator, energized by the original electric signal. Said apparatus is mounted on the circuit powering the enclosure.

Title: Polymer elecrolyte fuel cell
Inventor: KOBAYASHI SUSUMU
IPC: H01M8/24
Filed: 2002-09-06
Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: End plates, as constituting elements in a fuel cell, are conventionally made by cutting metal plates. Therefore, they have problems in that it is difficult to reduce their cost, and they are inconveniently heavy, and that they are likely to be corroded by supplied gases and cooling water since they contact such gases and water at inside surfaces of manifold holes of the metal end plates. According to the present invention, the end plates are made of a resin-dominant material, more preferably by injection-molding such material, so that it becomes possible to reduce the cost and weight of the end plates, and the corrosion resistance can be greatly improved by insert-molding each of current collecting plates in each of the end plates in such a manner as for the end plate material to extend into an inside surface of a hole, to be a manifold hole, of each current collecting plate.

Title: Rtvp based compositions and methods for the treatment of prostate cancer
Inventor: THOMPSON TIMOTHY C
IPC: C12N5/12
Filed: 2001-06-08
Granted: 2010-08-03
Abstract: This invention relates to a gene encoding RTVP that has been shown to be up-regulated by p53 using differential display-PCR and subsequently by co-transfection studies. RTVP-1 mRNA is abundant in normal mouse and human prostatic epithelial cells and primary tumors, but is significantly down regulated in metastatic mouse and human prostate cancer. In prostate cancer cells overexpression of the mouse RTVP-1 gene (mRTVP-1) induced apoptosis that was accompanied by increased caspase 8,9 and 3 activities. MRTVP-1-stimulated apoptosis was also associated with increased levels of bax, bad and activated BID; reduced levels of bcl-2 and bcl-XL; and cytosolic cytochrome c accumulation. Adenoviral-vector-mediated mRTVP-1 expression lead to potent growth suppression and antimetastatic activities in an orthotopic mouse model of prostate cancer in vivo. These therapeutic activities were associated with anti-angiogenic effects and importantly a local and systemic immune response. Accordingly, p53 was linked with suppression of metastasis through its induction of mRTVP-1, which can concurrently induce apoptosis, suppress agiogenesis and stimulate an antitumor immune response. Thus, the invention includes compositions and methods, based on RTVP nucleic acid, polypeptides, and antibodies, for use in the treatment, prevention and detection of neoplastic disease and, specifically, metastatic prostatic neoplasia.

Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: Apparatus in fluid communication with a water leg portion of a hydrocarbon-contaminated water, e.g., a water leg portion of an offshore drilling or production platform sump tank for conveying water, separated from oil, into contact with organophilic media canisters such that the hydrocarbons and other organic materials commingled with the sump tank water will be adsorbed onto the organophilic media and detected by the embedded probe in selected canisters. The canisters are provided in a plurality of stacks and are in fluid communication with a header disposed at the bottom of the vessel housing the various stacks of canisters. Solids that do not pass through the canisters are accumulated at the bottom of the vessel and easily drained through a drain port. The water will pass through the media and will be conveyed back to the ocean water without contamination . At some point in time, the organophilic media will become "spent" and at a certain "spent level", the saturated condition of the organomedia will be electronically detected by the embedded probe and alarm/control panel. The alarm indicates that the "spent"  organophilic media should be replaced with fresh media or the spent media regenerated.
