Abstract: This application relates to a light-weight, multi-purpose construction module. The module may be used, for example, as a mold for settable materials such as concrete. A plurality of modules may be aligned together in different configurations for use as a temporary road or support for use on unstable terrain, such as arctic tundra or wetlands.  In yet another application the module may be deployed as a storage or shelving unit. The module comprises a deck and a plurality of wall elements projecting from the deck and defining a plurality of honeycomb-like compartments. The module may be used in conjunction with a mating cover for enclosing the module compartments. In one embodiment the cover may be coupled to the module in two different orientations. In one of the orientations connectors may be coupled to an outer surface of the cover. The connectors are useful for joining separate modules together and for providing the assembly with enhanced structural integrity, for example to support heavy loads. In one embodiment heated water or other fluid may be circulated through the modules to regulate the temperature of construction panels formed from the modules, such as flooring or roofing panels.

Title: Model-based correction of position measurements
Inventor: EPHRATH YARON
IPC: A61M25/095
Filed: 2007-05-29
Abstract: Visualization of a probe when impedance-based measurement technology is being used is improved by stabilizing a dis-played image of the probe or catheter. Using a model of rea-sonable probe shapes and a matching algorithm, an erroneous probe image is adjusted so that it assumes a realistic shape on a display. A range of positional variations is also incor-porated in the model. When an apparent probe position exceeds a permissible range of motion, the probe image is constrained to a realistic position.

Inventor: MOFFITT PATRICK E
IPC: A01K85/00
Filed: 2006-03-28
Abstract: A hook-less fly crafted on a core other than a hook is described for attachment to a line at a material distance from a distal circle hook. One or more fly(s) may be attached to a single line at a point above a single circle hook. The separation on the line of hook from fly requires only the fly to enter the fish's mouth. The hook, when a fish takes the fly, is externally located. Striking the rod in response to the fish taking the fly draws the line through the fish's mouth and engages the distally located circle hook into the outer jaw. Hook set offered by the method is diametrically opposed in direction compared to conventional fishing. The method prevents the hook from piercing internal organs and facilitates hook extraction. The method further overcomes the physical limitations imposed on circle hook use by conventional fishing methods. The method promotes the survival of fish following release.  The design, construction and means of attachment for the hook-less fly is further described. A line orientation structure can be provided on the hook-less fly. Various line attachment devices are disclosed for the hook-less fly.

Title: Liquid formulation based on a guanidinoacetic acid component
Inventor: KRIMMER HANS-PETER
IPC: A23L33/15
Filed: 2006-08-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid formulation for human and animal nutrition, consisting of an aqueous solution, a guanidinoacetic acid component and at least one methyl group donor from the group of choline, methionine and betaine. In addition to the free guanidinoacetic acid, it is also possible to use salts, adducts and/or complexes as the guanidinoacetic acid component, which can additionally be combined with further physiologically active compounds. Since the guanidinoacetic acid component is present in dissolved form, formulations including those in the form of mineral water, lemonade, alcoholic drinks and drinking water formulations are envisaged. It has been found that, surprisingly, the guanidinoacetic acid component present in this liquid formulation has very good stability and is converted very rapidly to creatine in the body.
