Title: Bag discharge station
Inventor: WHITE HAROLD R
IPC: B65B69/00
Filed: 1993-09-13
Abstract: ABSTRACT     An apparatus for discharging the contents of bags containing flowable material includes a frame, with a pair of bag spikes mounted generally parallel to, and coplanar with, one another on the frame. A pair of bag pans is movably mounted on the frame so as to be engageable with the bag spikes. Each of the pans is selectively pivotable around a respective axis defined by each of the bag spikes. The bag pans are movable between a first, load/unload position wherein the bag pans are out of engagement with the spikes, and a second, engaged position wherein the bag pans are in engagement with the spikes. A knife assembly is provided that includes a knife arm having a first end pivotably mounted to the frame, and a second end upon which is disposed a knife member. The knife assembly is pivotable between a severing position wherein the knife member extends between the bag pans, and a rest position wherein the knife member is out of the plane defined by the bag pans. A bag pan drive mechanism is mounted on the frame, and is adapted to move the bag pans between their load/unload and engaged positions. A knife actuator mechanism is also mounted on the frame. The knife actuator mechanism is adapted to move the knife assembly between the severing position and the rest position. A bag pan pivot mechanism is also mounted on the frame, and is adapted to selectively pivot the bag pans about the axes defined by the bag spikes.

Abstract: A long ribbon, composed of a multitude of fine wires, is placed at the requisite bristle angle onto a backing ring. A torch, welds the ribbon to the backing plate and simultaneously severs the ribbon forming a first bundle of wires. The severed ribbon is repositioned, relative to the backing ring, adjacent to the first bundle, and the ribbon is again welded in-place and cut. The procedure of placement, welding and cutting is repeated until the backing plate (or the ribbon) has been repositioned over the desired length of the plate to achieve the requisite bristle array of the brush seal.

Title: Oral hygiene device
Inventor: CHARATAN NORMAN
IPC: A61C15/04
Filed: 1992-06-16
Abstract: An oral hygiene device (10) employs a hollow plastic tube (12) sealed at both ends. At least one area (14) along the length of the tube is weakened and has its diameter in the weakened area reduced, but not reduced to zero diameter. A length of fiber (16), such as conventional dental floss is stored within the length of the tube comprising the housing (12) and has each of the free ends (18, 20) secured to a bulk of rigid material (22) whose size does not permit the fibrous material from being able to escape the narrow diameter area (14). In use, a user bends the unbroken tubing housing (12) to a point that the tubing breaks into at least two pieces (12a, 12b), allowing the fibrous flossing material (16) to be positioned intermediate the separated portions of the tubing, which are now free to act as handles. After use, the fibrous material (16) and the two handles (12a, 12b) may be discarded.

Abstract: cDNA encoding (-)-4S-limonene synthase from spearmint has been isolated and sequenced, and the corresponding amino acid sequence has been determined. Accordingly, isolated DNA sequences are provided which code for the expression of limonene synthase, such as the sequence designated SEQ ID No:11 which encodes limonene synthase from spearmint (Mentha spicata). In other aspects, replicable recombinant cloning vehicles are provided which code for limonene synthase or for a base sequence sufficiently complementary to at least a portion of the limonene synthase DNA or RNA to enable hybridization therewith (e.g., antisense limonene synthase RNA or fragments of complementary limonene synthase DNA which are useful as polymerase chain reaction primers or as probes for limonene synthase or related genes). In yet other aspects, modified host cells are provided that have been transformed, transfected, infected and/or injected with a recombinant cloning vehicle and/or DNA sequence encoding limonene synthase. Thus, systems and methods are provided for the recombinant expression of limonene synthase that may be used to facilitate the production, isolation and purification of significant quantities of recombinant limonene synthase (or of the primary enzyme product, limonene) for subsequent use, to obtain expression or enhanced expression of limonene synthase in plants to attain enhanced limonene production as a predator defense mechanism, or may be otherwise employed for the regulation or expression of limonene synthase or the production of limonene.

IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 1994-03-21
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A feed line to a pyrolysis  furnace and a  liquid injection  apparatus  for  introducing  a  liquid  coke inhibitor in the feed line are disclosed.  The injection apparatus includes a central passageway for supplying the liquid  coke  inhibitor,   an  annular  passageway  for delivering an atomizing gas and a mixing reservoir for mixing the liquid and gas wherein the mixed  fluid is atomized by passage through an orifice in a nozzle.   A cooling  jacket  surrounding  the  annular  passageway prevents decomposition of the coke inhibiting agent which products can plug the nozzle.  The injection apparatus is typically installed in a bend of a process  feedstock conduit with a discharge end aligned to an axis of the flow.   A hot injection point close to the inlet of the pyrolysis furnace is preferred for best results.  To help ensure complete evaporation of a carrier liquid prior to the  furnace,  the  injection  apparatus  can  include  an evaporation shroud.  For a modularized injection system, the  evaporation  shroud  can  include  a  larger  diameter bonnet  exterior  to  the  conduit  having  the  injection apparatus attached thereto.   For a retractable injection system,  the injection apparatus  is received within  an isolation valve having an outlet end stuffing box.
