Title: Center-of-gravity tilt-in-space wheelchair
Inventor: BERNATSKY TODD
IPC: A61G5/12
Filed: 2004-03-31
Granted: 2012-07-24
Abstract: A center-of-gravity tilt-in-space wheelchair (10) includes a base (12), a seat assembly (14) for supporting an occupant, and tracks (46) supporting the seat assembly (14) for selective seat movement relative to the base (12). Wheels (16, 18) are adapted to support the base (12) relative to a supporting surface. The tracks (46) serve as rolling or sliding surfaces that allow the seat assembly (14) to rotate with respect to the base (12). Each track (46) has a constant-radius arc (A) with a focal point (P) that is adapted to be coincident with the center of gravity (CG) of the wheelchair occupant. A low-friction support (50) supports the base (12) relative to the seat assembly (14). The low-friction support (50) may include low friction elements that mate with the tracks (46) to support for the tracks (46). The support (50) can be adjustable to permit the overall tilt angle range of the tracks (46) to be adjusted. The wheelchair seat assembly (14) can be adjusted to maintain the focal point (P) of the constant-radius arc (A) of the tracks (46) coincident with the center of gravity of the wheelchair occupant. The front and rear wheels (16, 18) can be adjusted fore and aft relative to the focal point (P).  A coupling (74) includes plates having upper ends operatively attached to one another with seat canes (62) therebetween and lower ends releasably attached relative to the side tubes (44). The lower ends can be movable in a longitudinal direction relative to the side tubes (44) while remaining operatively connected to the side tubes (44). A base frame can include side tubes (40) having an offset (182) at a front end and a caster housing (52) supported by the offset (182). The offset (182) is directed up to minimize the height of the side tubes (40) and down to maximize the height.

Abstract: Brevibacillus choshinensis is characterized in that its extracellular proteolytic activity is extremely low and its protein secretion productivity is excellent, but it is desired that not only the extracellular proteolytic activity of the strain is further reduced but also the intracellular proteolytic activity thereof is further reduced. On the other hand, when Brevibacillus choshinensis is used as a host for the production of protein pharmaceuticals and the like, it is also desired that it does not form spores and is readily sterilized. The above problems have been solved by inactivating the sporulation-associated gene thereof and by cloning and inactivating the extracellular and intracellular protease genes thereof.

Abstract: Film grain simulation within a receiver (11) occurs by first obtaining at least one block of pre-computed transformed coefficients. The block of pre-computed transformed coefficients undergoes filtering responsive to a frequency range that characterizes a desired pattern of the film grain. In practice, the frequency range lies within a set of cut frequencies fHL, fVL, fHH and fVH of a filter in two dimensions that characterizes a desired film grain pattern. Thereafter, the filtered set of coefficients undergoes an inverse transform to yield the film grain pattern.

Title: Dispositif de lavage du cuir chevelu
Inventor: FUJIKAWA SUSUMU
IPC: A45D19/08

Granted: 2013-03-12
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de lavage du cuir chevelu comportant une plaque anti-gouttelette positionnée entre le cuir chevelu et le visage d'un utilisateur; et une buse dotée d'une sortie unique qui achemine de l'eau chaude du côté du cuir chevelu de la plaque anti-gouttelette. L'eau chaude provenant de la sortie de la buse se disperse le long de la plaque anti-gouttelette pour être acheminée vers le cuir chevelu de l'utilisateur. Ainsi, le débit de l'eau chaude est réduit lors de la dispersion le long de la plaque anti-gouttelette et, lorsque l'eau chaude se sépare de l'extrémité de la plaque anti-gouttelette et est acheminée vers le cuir chevelu de l'utilisateur, l'eau chaude est acheminée lentement vers l'ensemble du cuir chevelu. De cette façon, aucune gouttelette n'est générée. Même si un petit écart est généré entre la plaque anti-gouttelette et le visage de l'utilisateur, les gouttelettes ne tombent pas sur le visage de l'utilisateur et ne le mouillent pas.
