Title: Pump actuator
Inventor: MILLER P J JASSAWALLA J S CHEN
IPC: A61M60/837
Filed: 1983-11-30
Granted: 1987-04-16
Abstract: An actuator (12) and sac (14) for use in a pump having a pump chamber whose contents are expelled by movement of a pair of pusher plates (30, 32) toward one another. The actuator includes opposed solenoid armatures (50, 52) which are operable for movement between open and closed positions. The armatures are each operatively connected to an associated pusher plate by a main spring (90, 92) which is attached at one end to the back end of the armature, extends through a front-to-back slot in an armature core, and is connected at its opposite end to the pusher plate. A pair of preload springs (114, 116) carried on each armature and disposed on either side of the associated main spring acts to hold the main spring in a prestressed condition prior to solenoid actuation. With closure of the armatures, and with the sac still in an expanded condition, the main springs are disengaged from the associated preload spring and placed in a more stressed, more planar configuration, with the increased stress in each main spring being relieved by movement of the pusher plates toward one another. The sac has an annular side wall which is held in a rigid condition, and a pair of opposed circular walls, each joined to the annular side wall through a flexible annular wall portion. A circular pusher plate acting against each circular wall has an initial deflection position at which the associated flexible wall portion in the sac takes the form of a circumferentially uniform roll having an outwardly convex, bulged cross sectional curvature. The rolls in the sac maintain their circumferentially uniform, bulge-like character as the pusher plates are moved toward inwardly moved positions.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR92/00957 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 7, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 7, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 9, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/07361 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 15, 1993A turbine device and a method of driving the turbine device are disclosed. The turbine device includes an admission channel, a turbine, and an injection channel. The turbine device may also include a regulator. The turbine is driven by injecting a primary fluid into the admission channel at a given velocity and simultaneously causing a secondary fluid to flow into the admission channel at a lower velocity. The primary fluid and the secondary fluid form a mixture in the admission channel, which flows toward the turbine. The velocity of the mixture is less than that of the primary fluid, while the mass flow of the mixture is approximately equal to the sum of the mass flows of the primary and secondary fluids. The regulator compares the rotational speed of the turbine to a target speed and regulates parameters associated with the turbine device if the rotational speed of the turbine and the target speed differ by more than a predetermined amount.

Title: High frequency ventilator
Inventor: JENSEN ROBERT L
IPC: F04B43/04
Filed: 1984-07-31
Granted: 1988-07-21
Abstract: A high frequency ventilator (10) which generates a high frequency pressure wave in a supply (26) of ventilating gas for supporting ventilation in air breathing animals. The high frequency pressure wave causes the ventilating gas to be exchanged and to diffuse through the animal's lungs fast enough to support ventilation without spontaneous breathing on the part of the animal and without the aid of a separate ventilator. There are means provided for producing a high frequency, variable period, variable amplitude pressure wave in said gas, which is polar relative to the static airway pressure in said animal, to actively force gas into and draw gas out of said animal.

Title: Methods and products for facile microbial expression of dna sequences
IPC: C12N15/00
Filed: 1989-04-13
Granted: 1992-12-24
Abstract: Microbial expression of an exogenous polypeptide may be inefficient if the messenger RNA has secondary structure (due to complementarity of spaced regions of the molecule) which impedes interaction with a ribosome. The occurrence of such structure can be predicted. The degeneracy of the genetic code gives freedom to alter the nucleic acid composition of the cDNA to eliminate harmful secondary structure of the mRNA. For example, bovine growth hormone (BGH) is poorly expressed by E. coli transformed with a recombinant plasmid containing the natural BGH gene. The corresponding mRNA has complementary regions at 46-51 and 73-78. Therefore a plasmid pBGH 33-4 was constructed containing a BGH gene whose upstream portion was synthesized (making use of plasmid pHGH 207-1 which contains an efficiently expressible gene for the closely related human growth hormone) so as not to cause the troublesome complementarity. E. coli transformed therewith produced BGH with a yield of better than 10<5> copies per cell.

Title: Heating and sensing apparatus for range top
Inventor: CUNNINGHAM DONALD MATTHEW
IPC: H05B3/74
Filed: 1993-03-11
Granted: 1995-10-19
Abstract: An electric range (R) has a glass/ceramic cooking top (S) upon which rests a cooking utensil. Electrical heating apparatus (10) comprises an electrical resistance heating element (12) to which an electrical current is supplied. This causes the heating element to generate heat. A heat sink (16) is interposed between the heating element and the cooking top for absorbing heat energy from the heating element and for spreading the energy under the surface area of the top by conduction. The heat sink is of an electrically insulative, translucent, aluminum nitride material or similar high thermal conductivity material. An insulation cake (20) supports the heating element and heat sink adjacent an underside of the cooking top and provides both electrical and thermal insulation. A pan (24) supports the insulation cake, the heating element (12) and the sink (16) in intimate contact with each other and the underside of the cooking top for maximum heat transfer by conduction. The heating element also functions as a temperature sensor responding with a change in electrical resistance to a change in temperature of the heating element as influenced by the cooking process. The change in electrical resistance is the input for an electronic control which prevents excessive temperature of the glass/ceramic cooking top. <IMAGE>

Title: A method for communication in a TDMA cellular mobile radio system using frequency hopping
Inventor: UGLAND JON KRISTEN
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1993-02-16
Granted: 1994-12-15
Abstract: According to method and apparatus for communication in a cellular TDMA mobile radio communication system with channel hopping, base and mobile stations transmit radio signal bursts in time slots of a plurality of radio channels in accordance with channel hopping schemes. All of the schemes used by a base and mobile stations in a cell are free from coincidence on any radio channel with any other of the schemes used for transmission within the same cell. A scheme used by a mobile station in one cell occasionally coincides on a radio channel with a scheme used by a mobile station in another cell. The major part of every channel shifting scheme used by a mobile station in a cell is free from coincidence on any radio channel with the major part of any channel hopping scheme used by a mobile station in another cell. The signal to interference ratio or other signal characteristics such as signal strength or bit error rate for signals received by mobile stations are estimated and compared, and the output power of stations are controlled. The existence of further possible channel hopping schemes in a cell, free from coincidence on every radio channel with every other of the channel hopping schemes already in use in that cell, is checked. When another connection to a particular mobile is desired and there is a possible mobile scheme free from coincidence, the desired connection is established using the possible channel hopping scheme in the cell, only if the estimated C/I for certain mobile stations involved in connections exceeds a minimum level.

Title: Enzymatic hydrolysis of granular starch directly to glucose
Inventor: JACKSON LEROY EUGENE
IPC: C12N9/34
Filed: 1985-07-22
Granted: 1989-09-07
Abstract: It is discovered that certain fungi, particularly members of the genus Humicola, secrete an enzyme mixture or preparation that hydrolyzes raw or granular starch directly to glucose without producing substantial amounts of limit dextrins or tri or higher number saccharides. The fungi is germinated and fermented on carbohydrate substrates, producing a broth exhibiting raw starch hydrolyzing activity. The broth is separated from the fungi annd is added to a slurry of raw starch to hydrolyze the same to glucose. To produce glucose more efficiently, mutuations have been induced in Humicola, and certain mutants produce elevated titers of raw starch hydrolyzing activity.

Title: Toolholder assembly and method
Inventor: LOCKARD THOMAS A
IPC: B23B29/12
Filed: 1993-06-14
Granted: 1995-09-28
Abstract: An improved toolholder assembly and method is provided that comprises an adjustable nozzle for redirecting a liquid coolant stream from a direction generally parallel or slightly oblique with respect to the axis of rotation of a workpiece to a direction that is substantially orthogonal with respect to this axis. The nozzle assembly includes a threaded base on one end and a nozzle head on the other, and the threaded base may be screwed into or out of a threaded opening in the toolholder body which communicates with the original coolant stream opening in order to adjust the nozzle head at both a desired angle in a plane orthogonal with respect to the axis of rotation of the workpiece, as well as at a desired point along this axis. The invention is particularly useful in combination with toolholders having cutting inserts that perform deep grooving, threading, and cut-off operations, as the angular and axial adjustment features of the nozzle assembly allow the nozzle head to project a stream of coolant that is optimally orthogonally positioned with respect to the interface between the cutting insert and the workpiece regardless of the depth of the cut and for a variety of cutting inserts. Such optimal positioning in turn optimizes the ability of the coolant stream to lubricate the cutting interface and to remove heat and metal chips at all times during the cutting operation of the insert.
