Abstract: Plastic worms are very popular in fishing. These plastic worms are utilized in sport fishing by the attachment of a fish hook to the front of the plastic worm.  This plastic worm fish hook combination has a tendency to become entangled, snagged, in debris that is present in the water being fished. In accordance with this invention an elongated flexible shroud is provided, which is positioned over the forward end of the plastic worm. The shroud is capable of securing the plastic worm inside itself. When the shroud is placed over the head of the plastic worm the snagging of the plastic worm is prevented. The shroud of this invention may be further weighted. The purpose of the added weight is to facilitate the casting buoyancy and fish ability of the plastic worm fish hook combination. The shroud may be further colored to enhance the effectiveness of the lure or indicate the weight of the shroud.

Abstract: A method for operating a multi-stage electrical heater comprised of several heating elements. In conventional multi-stage electrical heaters, the resistance value of the individual heating elements scatters. In order that the individual heating elements emit the same power, specifically the required nominal power, despite the scattered resistance values, the voltage on the individual heating elements is separately regulated dawn to the required nominal power, proceeding from a maximum electrical resistance of the individual heating elements, at which the entire applied operating voltage yields the nominal power of the individual heating elements required for operation.

Title: Centre de purification, de lavage et de traitement de fumees et de cendres
Inventor: OLIVEIRA RODRIGUES JOSE MANUEL
IPC: B01D53/74
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un centre de retenue, de lavage et de traitement de fumées issues de fours, bouilleurs et autres installations produisant des fumées qui donnent des poussières, dioxydes et autres compositions. Il s'agit d'un traitement naturel de neutralisation des effets nocifs, puis de réduction sous forme de boue. Le précipité résulte de transformations mécaniques, physiques et chimiques. Empruntant les parcours contraints qui correspondent aux opérations du centre, les produits nocifs des fumées, une fois purifiés, aboutissent dans une cuve d'additifs remplie d'eau à 100· C, et la vapeur résultante est ensuite utilisée dans une colonne de distillation. Les produits finals du système sont de l'eau distillée bactériologiquement pure et de la boue utilisée dans l'agriculture. On peut également mettre en oeuvre le système dans des lieux publics fermés, à savoir résidences, bureaux, pavillons, installations médicales et autres, ce qui permet de purifier l'environnement intérieur pour rendre l'atmosphère saine et confortable, mais aussi de corriger la température ambiante. On peut donc établir à cet effet un mini-centre, qu'il est possible de déplacer.

Abstract: The invention discloses several novel therapeutic properties and methods of treatment using the recombinant erythropoietin prepared by expression from the Apa I restriction fragment of human genomic erythropoietin DNA transformed into baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) according to U.S. Patent No. 5,688,697 to Powell. This recombinant erythropoietin designated herein as Epoetin Omega is shown to possesses several unexpected and superior qualities over other recombinant erythropoietins such as those designated Epoetin Alfa and Beta which are prepared from genomic or cDNA expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) according to U.S. Patent Nos. 4,703,008 and 5,955,422 to Lin. The superior properties of Epoetin Omega include, but are not limited to, a much higher potency, a much more rapid response (i.e. no latency), longer effective serum levels, much lower antigenicity in human subjects, therapeutic activity in subjects non-responsive to the other epoetins, fewer adverse side effects such as incidents of thrombosis, reduced nausea, reduced pain at the site of injection, reduction in body pain, and most significantly, the absence of, or reduced risk of, increased blood pressure or hypertension. These novel properties provide for novel therapeutic methods including, treatment of anemia and treatment of conditions other than anemia such as fatigue or vascular pain, treatment in patients adversely effected by hypertension such as patients with heart conditions or at increased risk of thrombosis, treatment in oncology settings with and without chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and treatment with novel dosing regiments that include much lower doses and lower administration frequencies of as few as once per week or less.

Abstract: Containerized candles use the correct placement of tallow or wax and a wick contained in a transparent or otherwise translucent vessel. One example of the vessel is a glass apothecary jar. The walls of the vessel prevent the loss of wax from run off when the wax is melted by the flaming wick when lit. A two part candle container having a cylindrical body with a closed base at one end and an open mouth at the other end of the cylindrical body can facilitate the placement of the wax and wick. The container comprises a holder for providing an inner sidewall of the cylindrical body, the inner sidewall having the closed base at said one end and an open top at said other end to define a holder interior configured to receive the candle wax and wick. The holder has a full bore at the open top. The container also has a shell for providing an outer sidewall of the cylindrical body, the outer sidewall having an opening at said one end configured to receive the holder and the open mouth at said other end configured to exhaust combustion gases generated by the candle. The open mouth of the shell has a restricted portion for helping to retain the heat generated by the candle when combusted. The container also has a locking mechanism for fixedly securing the holder to the shell when assembled; wherein when assembled the shell and holder provide the cylindrical body having a pair of sidewalls consisting of the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall.
