Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de construction commandée d'un matériau matriciel à nanotubes. Pour lier des fragments de nanotubes correspondants, on utilise un fragment de nanotube comprenant au moins deux surfaces d'énergie potentielle de liaison comportant deux niveaux distincts d'énergie potentielle de liaison, un de liaison H, et un second, plus bas, de liaison covalente. Ce procédé consiste à (a) regrouper des fragments de nanotubes dans une solution, (b) à chauffer la solution à une température permettant d'interrompre la liaison H, mais insuffisante pour dénaturer la liaison covalente, (c) à agiter la solution et à réduire lentement la température (recuit) à une température où les liaisons H sont stables, de façon à produire une configuration optimale, (d) à ajouter un réactif à la solution pour provoquer une cyclisation, et (e) à introduire un élément catalytique en vue de la purification et de la déshydrogénation du matériau matriciel à nanotubes ainsi formé.

Abstract: This invention is a tool used to coordinate fabrics by creating a simulated quilt unit for visualizing the final design of quilting pattern(s). It consists of various geometric shapes such as a circle, square, star, or octagon. Small pieces of fabric, including scrap fabric, will be used to wrap around the sections of the various geometric shapes. These will be held together by pin-like device or other means to hold and/or rotate all or some of these geometric shapes together. The coordinator allows displaying and testing the final appearance of the design of the quilt unit. The quilt designer uses this tool to create a simulated quilt unit to visualize the final product in the early stage of the quilt's project and will give the designer satisfaction and confidence in their design. The designer will see the final appearance of the product at the beginning of the project. This, in turn, will save money and time for quilt designers.

Title: Floorboard with compression nub
Inventor: NIESE MICHAEL
IPC: E04F15/04
Filed: 1999-09-10
Granted: 2009-01-20
Abstract: A wood floor system comprises a plurality of parallel rows (10a, 10b...10z) of floorboards (10) laid end-to-end, and each of the floorboards (10) includes a compression nub (20) extending along a side surface (13) thereof, adjacent the top surface (11). These compression nubs (20) affirmatively engage an opposing side surface (14) of an adjacent floorboard row (10a), thereby sealing, or isolating, the top surface of the floor from the side surfaces (13, 14) of the floorboa rd rows (10a, 10b...10z). This uniformly distributes expansion and contraction forces throughout the floor, due to uniform spacing between the floorboard rows (10a, 10b...10z). The isolation of the floorboard upper surface from the side surfaces (13, 14) also prevents undesired downward migration or flow of liquid finishing solution (28), which can have serious adverse affects for a wood floor. The invention reduces the total volume of finishing solution necessary for finishing the floor.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for administering a therapeutically effective amount of daptomycin while minimizing skeletal muscle toxicity. The methods provide daptomycin administration at a dosing interval of 24 hours or greater. This long dosing interval minimizes skeletal muscle toxicity and allows for higher peak concentrations of daptomycin, which is related to daptomycin's efficacy. The invention also provides methods of administering lipopeptide antibiotics other than daptomycin while minimizing skeletal muscle toxicity by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the lipopeptide antibiotic at a dosage interval that does not result in muscle toxicity. The invention also provides methods of administering quinupristin/dalfopristin while minimizing skeletal muscle toxicity by administering a therapeutically effective amount of quinupristin/dalfopristin at a dosage interval that does not result in muscle toxicity.

Granted: 2007-10-23
Abstract: A plasmatron operating efficiently within a wider range of gas flows and capable of sustaining a stable arc voltage.  The plasmatron generates an electric arc at the tip of a cathode electrode and transfers the arc along an arc chamber and into the bore of an anode electrode located at the downstream end of the arc chamber. A  plurality of arc root attachment surfaces are defined on an inner surface of the anode by a plurality of ring members, causing the electric arc to attach with its root to the arc root attachment surfaces and therefore the axial movement of the arc root is confined substantially to the anode electrode. The arc voltage variations are limited and controlled substantially by the arc root movement between two adjacent arc root attachment surfaces. When used within a plasma-spraying torch, the plasma stream generated by the plasmatron has improved characteristics and induces improved plasma spray coatings.

Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: Endogenous protein hormones, fragments thereof including epitopes, and synthetic peptides mimicking epitope regions of hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin can be conjugated to a foreign carrier or otherwise modified so as to produce antibodies in humans against the endogenous protein hormone. Synthetic analogs to the 38 to 57 sequence of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin have been found which upon conjugation to a suitable foreign carrier can be employed to raise a high level of antibodies to human chorionic gonadotropin with a significant decrease in antibodies reactive to human pituitary luteinizing hormones. Upon conjugation to a foreign carrier such analogs may be administered to humans to treat hormone-associ-ated carcinomas and for purposes of contraception.

Title: Method and arrangement in a telecommunications system
Inventor: PETERSEN LARS-GORAN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-03-27
Granted: 2010-02-02
Abstract: A gateway (MG1) interconnects telecom networks (N1, N2) of different types with different signal formats (ATM, IP). A first control unit (CC1), connected (Cl) to a server, controls connection set up. A second control unit (RC2) provides telecom functions (F21-F28), such as speech coder/decoder or echo extinguisher, to the connection. A  third control unit (BC3) establishes connections and sets up switch functions (CP21-CP27) corresponding to the different signal formats (ATM, IP). A signal format converter (CP29) converts to/from a common signal format (COM1) that the telecom functions uses. A speech request goes via the server to the first control unit (CC1), which requests telecom function (F21) by the second control unit (RC2). This returns the address (ADR11) of the telecom function to the first control unit (CC1) which sends the function address (ADR11) and the network address (ADR2) of the connection to the third control unit (BC3). This interconnects the corresponding switch function (CP23) and the telecom function (F21) after conversion to the common signal format (COM1) in the signal format converter (CP29). The first control unit (CC1) thereafter requests connection to the next node from the third control unit (BC2), which establishes and indicates the connection (C41) to the first control unit (CC1). This requests setting up of a corresponding switch function (CP21) by the third control unit (BC3), which connects together the switch function with the telecom function (F21) after reconversion of the signal format. The functions (F21-F28; CP21-CP27) are hardware or software. They can easily be supplemented for new network types or new telecom services.
