Granted: 2001-01-02
Abstract: A method of producing a metal casting utilizing an expendable polymeric foam pattern along with unbonded sand having specific thermal properties. The pattern, formed of a material such as polystyrene, has a configuration corresponding to that of the article to be cast. The pattern is placed with an outer flask and unbonded sand surrounds the pattern as well as filling the cavities in the pattern. The sand has a linear expansion of less than 1% from 0°C to 1600°C, a particle size of 0.001 inch to 0.015 inch, and a heat diffusivity greater than 1500 J/m2/°K/s1/2. A molten metal, such as a hypoeutectic or hypereutectic aluminum silicon alloy or a ferrous alloy, is fed into the mold in contact with the pattern causing the pattern to vaporize with the vapor being entrapped within the interstices of the sand while the molten metal fills the space initially occupied by the foam pattern to produce a cast article. The physical properties of the sand enable articles to be cast having more precise tolerances.

Abstract: Physiological monitoring of a baby is carried out from a fabric patch (2) that is attached by fibre hook-and-eye fastening to the ba-by's conventional, stretchable vest (1). The laminated patch (2), which bridges the baby's thoracic and abdominal regions, includes a con-cealed substrate (4) that carries piezo-electric film strips (10, 11) which sense, in those regions respectively, elastic deflections of the vest (1) caused by the baby's respiratory and heart functions. Signals from the strips (10, 11), together with a body-temperature signal from a thermistor (17, Figure 4), are processed and transmitted via an in-ductive-loop antenna (19) of the patch (2), to a remote unit (21, Figure 5) for further, more detailed processing to derive representation inter alia of thoracic-abdominal synchrony/asynchrony. The result is stored and monitored against stored clinical-data for display and alarm operation; the stored data is accessed by a data logger (31, Fi-gure 5) for detailed analysis. Patch-attachment can be under a flap (43, Figure 6) bridging an opening (44) in the vest (41), or may be in-ternally, rather than externally, of the vest.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the rapid cooling of a raw egg in a shell, the shell egg being warm and having an internal temperature typically of about room temperature or higher. The method preferably comprises placing the shell egg for about 1 to about 5 minutes in an atmosphere of cryogenic gas at a temperature of about -60°F (about -51°C) to about -120°F (about -84°C), whereby the internal temperature decreases, sufficiently to inhibit residual pathogenic and/or spoilage microorganisms, such as Salmonella and/or Pseudomonas, respectively, present inside the shell egg. Also disclosed is a cool raw shell egg in a shell that has been rapidly cooled in an atmosphere of cryogenic gas after having been warmed, typically to where the shell egg had an internal temperature typically of about room temperature or higher.      The cool shell egg that has been so subjected to rapid cooling has fewer viable residual pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, i.e., the microorganisms are substantially more inhibited, than a comparable cool shell egg that initially had about the same amount of residual pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms as the rapidly cooled shell egg prior to processing, but had not been rapidly cooled.

Granted: 1999-05-25
Abstract: Compositions and methods for the oral administration of drugs and other active agents are provided. The compositions comprise an active agent carrier particle attached to a binding moiety which binds specifically to a target molecule present on the surface of a mammalian enterocyte. The binding moiety binds to the target molecule with a binding affinity or avidity sufficient to initiate endocytosis or phagocytosis of particulate active agent carrier so that the carrier will be absorbed by the enterocyte. The active agent will then be released from the carrier to the host's systemic circulation. In this way, degradation of degradation-sensitive drugs, such as polypeptides, in the intestines can be avoided while absorption of proteins and polypeptides from the intestinal tract is increased.

Title: Moving imagery projection system
Inventor: BACS ARON JR
IPC: G09G3/02
Filed: 1994-06-28
Granted: 2002-04-16
Abstract: A projection system for projecting computergraphic images onto a domed or spherical viewing surface (42). An intense beam of coherent light (10) is color and intensity modulated (28) and deflected (30) in a pair of cartesian axes prior to being projected through a wide angle lens array (40). Because the light beam is deflected before entering the wide angle lens array, greater angles of deflection are possible. The images are generated by rapidly changing the deflection of an intense spot of light which is projected onto the viewing surface at a rate above the viewer's flicker rate. This wide angle lens array may include a scan flattening lens array by which the image can be focussed onto a spatial image focal plane before it is projected through a wide angle lens.
