Abstract: A two-piece panel fastener includes a barrel-shaped metal retainer (10) which holds a screw. The screw includes a threaded shaft and a plastic cap (6) which has longitudinally-extending resilient fingers (7) which engage the outer surface of the retainer to captivate the screw. The retainer has a chamfered top flange (13) along its top edge, a circumferential bulge area (16) around its outer surface approximately in the middle of its length, and a base (15) at its bottom. Two circumferential valley regions of reduced diameter are located along the outer surface of the retainer. The first valley region is located between the chamfered top flange and the bulge area and the second is located between the bulge area and the base. When the fingers occupy either of the valley regions, the screw is captively held at either of two stable positions of retraction or extension. The retainer is preferably rigidly affixed to a circuit board (5) by soldering a base flange at the bottom of the retainer to the top surface of the board.

Abstract: A welding wire comprising a flux core having a core composition alloyed with a combination of alloying elements is described. The alloying elements comprise Cr and N, wherein the flux core comprises between 10% and 50% of the total weight of the weld wire. A metal sheath encapsulates the flux core, wherein the metal sheath comprises between about 90% and 50% of the total weight of the welding wire and wherein the welding wire can be used in a welding process without destabilizing a welding arc. One of the applications of the wire and welding process of the present invention is hard surfacing of the steel mill roles, which are hollow cylinders usually on continuous casters. As an example, the rolls welded by the wire and method of the present invention can have a diameter of about 12 inches or less. Additionally, a welding apparatus comprising a welding gun with a device for feeding an electrode into the welding gun is described. The corresponding welding process calls for gas shielding of the electrode to reduce spatter and smoke emission while creating a smooth weld bead surface requiring less grinding and finishing. The resulting weld deposit has enhanced resistance to pitting corrosion.

Title: Ribbon assembly for forming a decorative bow
Inventor: CHENG KUI ENG
IPC: D04D7/10
Filed: 2004-03-11
Abstract: A bow-forming ribbon assembly has a decorative flexible ribbon member and a drawstring connected loosely to the ribbon at points along its length by relatively stiff retainer members. Each retainer member extends generally transversely across the ribbon member, and each is inclined with respect to the transverse direction at an angle. Each retainer member is inclined at an angle different from that of an adjacent retainer member. Decorative arms having adornments are mounted adjacent at least some of the retainer members. On forming the ribbon into a bow by pulling the drawstring relative to the ribbon member, the inclined retainer members tend to skew the adjacent loops or segments of the bow relative to one another, as well as the decorative arms so that the loops and the arms are distributed at various angles around the axis of the bow, thereby providing a bow of great visual interest.

Title: Use of cationic preservative in food products
Inventor: URGELL BELTRAN JOAN BAPTISTA
IPC: A23L29/231
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: This invention relates to a novel use of cationic preservatives and preparations according to this novel use. A cationic preservative derived from lauric acid and arginine, in particular, the ethyl ester of the lauramide of the arginine monohydrochloride, hereafter named LAE, can be used for the protection against the growth of microorganisms. The chemical structure of LAE  is described in formula (I). LAE and related compounds are particularly suitable to be used in the preservation of all perishable food products. It is preferred to dissolve the compound directly before use in one of the following preferred solvents of food grade: water, ethanol, propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, other glycols, mixtures of glycols and mixtures of glycols and water.  If the treatment shall be performed at a specific pH value the use of a corresponding buffer solution may be recommendable. The composition optionally comprises auxiliary components and excipients. Such auxiliary components and excipients can be thickening agents (e.g. xanthan gum, guar gum, modified starches), anti-foam agents (e.g. dimethylpolysiloxane, silicon dioxide), products to obtain the optimal pH value (e.g. phosphates, tartrates, citrates, lactates), colouring agents (e.g. curcumin, tartrazine, erythrosine), and aroma products. It is preferred, that the preservative composition comprises LAE in an amount of from 0,0001 % to 1 % by weight relative to the whole weight of the preservative composition. It is particularly preferred to use the inventive composition for the preservation of meat products, like for instance meat, poultry products, fish, crustaceans, vegetables, greens, emulsions, sauces, confectionery, bakery, pre-cooked meals, ready-to-serve meals, dairy products, egg-based products, jams, jellies, beverages, juices, wines and beers.

Title: Surface simulation synthetic peptides useful in the treatment of hyper-variable viral pathogens
Inventor: CREVECOEUR HARRY
IPC: G16B15/30
Filed: 2002-11-23
Abstract: Synthetic peptides and methods for configuring the amino acid sequences thereof are disclosed which are especially useful in the preparation of vaccines intended for the prophylaxis and treatment of viral pathogens exhibiting high mutation rates such as HIV-1. The high mutation rates of such viral pathogens result in extreme variance in the linear sequence of viral protein residues, such as the variable linear sequences of gp 120 of HIV-1. To be effective and provide broad-spectrum and/or cross-clad coverage against hypervariable viruses such as HIV-1, vaccines must target common denominators of all infective strains of such a virus. These functional common denominators lie in the 3-dimensional configuration of proteins essential for host cell binding and infectivity. The disclosed peptides and methods for configuring same are derived from the 3 dimensional relationships of conserved residues of viral proteins defining conformational epitopes necessary and required for viral pathogenicity.

Abstract: Wind power installations with rotor blades of the most widely varying kinds have already long been known. It is also known that, in certain situations, the wind power installation has to be provided with a hazard light in order to draw the attention of air traffic in the region of the wind power installation to the existence of the installation, in good time. For the above-indicated purpose it is also known for the rotor blades to be provided with mostly red warning coats of paint so that it is possible to prevent an aircraft, in particular a military aircraft, from colliding with a wind power installation or the rotor thereof.   The object of the invention is to provide lighting for the rotor blade tips, which is more reliable than that proposed hitherto, wherein any damage which occurs is no longer so complicated and expensive to rectify as hitherto, but can be rectified extremely swiftly.   A rotor blade of a wind power installation with a rotor blade connection to a hub of the wind power installation and a rotor blade tip at the end of the rotor blade, which is in opposite relationship to the rotor blade connection, characterised in that at least one light waveguide is laid from the rotor blade connection to the rotor blade tip.

Filed: 2004-07-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling pipe and other elongate objects to transfer the material from a first station, such as from a pipe rack to an elevated station, such as the floor of a drilling rig is disclosed. The apparatus includes a subframe, an outer frame and an inner frame when the inner frame is provided with an elongate, substantially flat upper surface. A ramp is mounted at a downstream end of the subframe, and the inner frame is operable for receiving the elongate objects and the outer frame and inner frame, which may be thought of as a carriage assembly, rectilinearly shifted toward the ramp. To facilitate loading of the elongate objects from the first station, the upper surface of the inner frame may be selectively tilted to facilitate loading, and then as the carriage assembly is rectilinearly shifted downstream, toward the ramp, the upper surface is sequentially moved to a substantially flat position, whereby the carriage assembly then moves up the ramp so that the elongate objects may be off loaded at the elevated station.
