Title: Pivoting implement hitch extension
Inventor: COLISTRO VINCENT
IPC: B60D1/167
Filed: 2003-04-28
Granted: 2006-10-24
Abstract: A hitch extension apparatus for attaching an implement with a pto driven drive shaft having front and rear universal joints to a tractor drawbar. The apparatus comprises a first member adapted for attachment to the tractor drawbar by insertion of a drawbar pin through the drawbar such that the first member is fixed with respect to the drawbar. An extension member is pivotally attached to the first member about a horizontal pitch axis oriented perpendicular to the travel direction, and about a horizontal roll axis oriented parallel to the operating travel direction. The extension member defines a pivotal attachment location rearward of the draw pin hole adapted for pivotal attachment of the implement about a vertical yaw axis located equidistant from the front and rear universal joints when the drive shaft is connected to the tractor power take off. The pitch axis can be located forward of the yaw axis, and forward of the draw pin hole in order to reduce bending forces on the drawbar.

Abstract: A process for reducing the permeability of a paper wrapper (14) used in the construction of a smoking article (10) is disclosed. The paper wrapper (14) is treated with a film-forming composition (52) that forms treated discrete areas (18) on the wrapper. The treated discrete areas (18) have a permeability within a predetermined range sufficient to reduce the ignition proclivity properties of a smoking article (10) made with the wrapper (14). In accordance with the present invention, the film-forming composition (52) is applied as multiple layers (31, 33, 35) to the paper wrapper 14). After each application step, the wrapper (14) is dried. Applying the film-forming composition (52) to the paper wrapper (14) in multiple layers (31, 33, 35) minimizes distortion and other adverse affects that may occur to the wrapper (14).

Abstract: A means and apparatus for breaking non-cellular tissues such as cancer cells to be used in medical treatments for human or animal body wherein heat energy is generated due to electric field energy of microelectromagnetic wave radiated from a microelectromagnetic radiator (2) with the use of a magnetron (16) are provided. A cancer cell tissue is radiated with microelectromagnetic wave from the microelectromagnetic radiator (2) composed of the magnetron (16) and an electromagnetic horn (1) and thus active oxygen constituting the cancer cell tissue and electrolytes in the blood acting around the tissue are heated due to the self-vibration by the electrical field energy of the microelectromagnetic wave. Thus, cancer cells are exclusively broken.

Title: Mutants of green fluorescent protein
Inventor: STUBBS SIMON LAWRENCE JOHN
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 2001-09-28
Granted: 2010-04-06
Abstract: The present invention provides novel engineered derivatives of green fluorescent protein (GFP) which have an amino acid sequence which is modified by amino acid substitution compared with the amino acid sequence of wild type Green Fluorescent Protein. The modified GFPs exhibit enhanced fluorescence relative to wtGFP when expressed in non-homologous cells at temperatures above 30 ~C, and when excited at about 490 nm compared to the parent proteins, i.e.  wtGFP. An example of a preferred protein is F64L-S175G-E222G-GFP. The modified GFPs provide a means for detecting GFP reporters in mammalian cells at lower levels of expression and/or increased sensitivity relative to wtGFP. This greatly improves the usefulness of fluorescent proteins in studying cellular functions in living cells.

Abstract: This window regulator is constituted by a rail which is obtained in a single piece, by injection of a light--weight metallic alloy, integrating a great many of the window regulator components, like for example: the supports (1) for fastening the window regulator to the door of the vehicle, the support (2) and anchoring elements (6) for the drive motor used in the systems of electric window regulators, the coupling elements (5) of the Bowden system for tensioning the cable (4), necessary in the manually operated systems, the housing (8) for the cable-winding drum, the sliding or diverting elements (3) of the cable (4). Moreover, the rail leaves the mould, with an appropriate curvature for correctly following the window glass, even though the latter has a very complex shape. Thus, the same rail can be used indistinctly for manual window regulators, electric window regulators and dual rail window regulators.

Title: Method for detecting multiple overlapping covers in a mail sorting installation
Inventor: ROCH OLIVIER
IPC: B07C1/14
Filed: 2003-07-10
Granted: 2008-12-23
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for detecting multiple overlapping covers in a mail sorting installation (1) which consists in detecting a length variation in each cover by passing each cover in a plurality of passage detectors (4, 5, 6, 7). The passage detectors are located at different points of the mail sorting installation (1) and are configured to evaluate the length of each cover. During their displacement in the mail sorting installation, the multiple overlapping covers are gradually staggered from one another in particular as a result of mechanical frictions. Thus the global length of multiple overlapping covers tend to vary, such that an evaluation of the length variation of each cover supplies a reliable information for detecting the multiple overlapping covers. The evaluation of the length of a cover is relatively simple to implement, the performances of the installation are enhanced at a low cost.
