Title: Synthetic fireplace log and method of producing
Inventor: TUTUPALLI LOHIT
IPC: C10L5/44
Filed: 1999-07-26
Abstract: A low cost and an environmentally-friendly synthetic firelog is made by mixing specially processed waxed-cardboard or other wax coated papers of varying proportions with a binder/fuel. The binder/fuel consists of a petroleum wax or a mixture of waxes, the nature and extent of which is suitably modified by in situ admixture with the paraffin wax already present in the waxed-cardboard. Sawdust or other wood fillers may also be added.      Upon thorough incorporation of the materials, the resulting mixture is extruded, molded, compressed, or otherwise formed, such that the resulting mass is sufficiently solid to hold its shape at normal room temperature.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for providing reciprocating, liner motion for a movable wo rk piece relative to a stationary work piece is provided. The drive system includes a motor rotating a drum in forward and reverse directions about a first axis. The motor and drum are fixedly mounted with respect to the stationary work piece, such as to a housing or other structure. The system further includes an elongate, substantially non- flexible cable having a first and second ends fixed with respect to the stationary work piece. The cable further includes an intermediate portion extending between the first and second ends, with the intermediate portion being wound around the drum. First and second bearings are provided which are mounted to the movable work piece. The first bearing is positioned relative to the cable such that the intermediate portion of the cable is wou nd over the first bearing, and with the first bearing being positioned between the first end o f the cable and the drum. The second bearing is positioned relative to the cable such that t he intermediate portion of the cable is wound over the second bearing with the second bearin g being positioned between the drum and the second end of the cable. Rotation of the  drum in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions causes the cable to move the  first and second bearings back and forth relative to the drum, thereby causing linear,  reciprocating movement of the moveable work piece relative to the stationary work piece.</ SDOAB>

Patent CA-2359636-A1 (CA)
Title: Activation of regulatory t cells by alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone
Inventor: NISHIDA TOMOMI
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-01-21
Abstract: The invention encompasses a method of down-regulating a T cell-mediated immu ne response, through activation or T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation of antigen - primed T cells in the presence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (.alpha.-MSH), which may be optionally enhanced by adding transforming growt h factor-.beta.2 (TGF-.beta.2) approximately 4-6 hours after the start of the primed T cells' exposure to .alpha.-MSH. Activation of the primed T cells ma y be mediated by presentation of the specific antigen to the primed T cells, o r by an anti-TCR antibody or a T cell mitogen. As a result of the .alpha.-MSH treatment modulating the T cell activation, antigen-specific, regulatory, CD4+/CD25+ T cells are generated that produce transforming growth factor- .beta. (TGF-.beta.) and can non-specifically down-regulate Th1-mediated inflammatory activities. The method may be used to down-regulate or suppress  an autoimmune condition or a graft rejection in a transplant patient. The invention also encompasses a kit for generating regulatory T cell comprising  a speciric antigen, .alpha.-MSH, and optionally, TGF-.beta.2 and/or a T cell culture medium. Also provided are gene therapy treatments for suppressing an  autoimmune or graft rejection response, or for re-establishing autotolerance , by introducing genetic material (e.g. nucleic acid) for expressing .alpha.-M SH or a receptor-binding portion thereof, into a localized tissue site.
