Abstract: A multi-functional assembly of a hair dryer and accessory units in which a base unit is attached to a wall for producing heated air which is supplied to a hand-held dryer. A garment dryer is attachable in the assembly to receive the heated air produced by the base unit. The accessory units are capable of being detachably interconnected with one another and with the base unit in a variety of ways. The interconnection is made by security connectors to prevent unauthorized disconnection of the units. Electrical power is supplied to circuit boards in the base unit and the electrical power is transmitted to the accessory units when they are connected in the assembly. A ground fault circuit interrupter or similar safety device in the base unit controls electrical supply to all units. When the accessory unit is a garment dryer, the dryer drum is driven by a turbine wheel, driven by heated air. The drive turbine of the wheel is utilized to produce electrical energy to achieve various functions, such as door latching, alarm signal generation, moisture determination, etc.

Abstract: Multilayer fluid conduits (10) are formed by adhering to a tubular outer surface (13) of a metal pipe (12), a thermoplastic outer layer (20). The outer layer (20) permits ends of the multilayer conduit (10) to be joined together in leakproof fluid conduit systems simply by adhering the conduit ends with compatible thermoplastic fittings. For fire protection systems, the preferred metal is steel, the preferred thermoplastic is CPVC and the preferred adhesive is heat activated. The adhesive coated metal pipe is preheated and the CPVC is extruded onto the outer surface of the heated metal pipe. Through the use of fire resistive CPVC, the multilayer conduit systems of the present invention can be installed in more severe fire threat areas than can existing, all plastic piping, including all CPVC piping systems. The conduit is assembled into systems on site simply by cutting and direct bonding with ordinary, all plastic fittings using appropriate bonding agents such as solvent based adhesives. CPVC fittings are preferred for fire protection systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The circuit, to counter copy protection signals in a video signal, includes a protection detection circuit and a generic modification circuit. The copy protected video signal (12) is input to a correction circuit (14) and to a detector. This has a chroma band pass amplifier (16) to separate the chrominance and the luminance signals. An envelope detector (20) senses the lines containing the colour bursts, and triggers a one-shot circuit (22) having a period of about 52 microseconds, which is less than one TV line period. A second trigger circuit generates a 70 microsecond pulse. These triggers are applied to an AND circuit whose output causes the correction circuit to counter the copy protect signals.

Abstract: A valve assembly includes a refrigerant inlet port and a refrigerant outlet port having a restricted opening, with the inlet port opening at least 2 times larger than the restricted outlet port opening. The valve includes components for opening and closing the inlet port in response to valve cavity pressure between the inlet and outlet ports. The larger inlet port relative to the restricted outlet port provides for rapid pressure buildup in the valve cavity when the inlet port is open which, in turn, causes rapid closing of the inlet port. The valve is capable of rapid cycling rates, highly effective for small refrigeration or cooling apparatus, as well as for controlling pressure in other applications requiring pressure regulation.

Abstract: A system for updating an agent used in a backup software program. The backup software program operates on a network having, for example, a server and a number of workstations. A backup engine executes on the server. An agent executes on each of the workstations to be backed up. The backup engine transmits an updated agent to each workstation, transmits an executable regeneration module to each workstation and transmits an execute command to the agent at each workstation. The agent at each workstation stores the updated agent and the executable regeneration module and causes the execution of the executable regeneration module. The executable regeration module deletes or renames the agent, and also renames the updated agent to the name of the agent and thereafter enables operation of the updated agent as the agent.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method for generating high power laser radiation, the geometry of the resonant laser cavity defines a fundamental spatial or transverse cavity mode. A gain medium is disposed within the resonant cavity and an energy source energizes the gain medium within a first volume. This causes spontaneous and stimulated energy emission to propagate in the gain medium in a direction transverse to the fundamental cavity mode. The transverse emission in turn optically pumps a second volume of the gain medium about the first volume. When the intensity of the transverse emission is sufficiently high, inversion and gain are produced in the second volume. By optimizing the geometry of the cavity such that the fundamental cavity mode is coupled to both the first and the second volumes encompassing the first pumped volume, the transversely-directed energy of the first volume which would otherwise be wasted is instead captured by the fundamental beam, improving the overall power efficiently of the laser. When configured in an appropriate cavity, the high-power laser of the present invention is especially amenable to frequency conversion of the output beam, as it provides beam intensities suitable for efficient nonlinear frequency conversion.

Abstract: Compounds having an ansamycin anitibiotic, or other moiety which binds to hsp90, coupled to a targeting moiety which binds specifically to a protein, receptor or marker can provide effective targeted delivery of the ansamycin antibiotic leading to the degradation of proteins and death of the targeted cells. These compositions may have different specificity than the ansamycin alone, allowing for a more specific targeting of the therapy, and can be effective in instances where the ansamycin alone has no effect. Thus, these compounds provide an entirely new class of targeted chemotherapy agents with application, depending on the nature of the targeting moiety, to treatment of a variety of different forms of cancer. Such agents can further be used to promote selective degradation of proteins associated with the pathogenesis of others diseases, including antigens associated with autoimmune disorders and pathogenic proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease. Exemplary targeting moieties which may be employed in compounds of the invention include testosterone, estradiol, tamoxifen and wortmannin.
