Title: Manual reset switch cover assembly
Inventor: HILLMAN KENNETH BRAD
IPC: H01H35/26
Filed: 2004-10-19
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with cover assemblies for manually resetting pressure switches used on oil and gas pipelines. The cover assembl y encloses a volume of space on the pressure switch that houses a reset switch which is activated by depressing a button located on top of the reset switch. The cov er assembly has a housing with a rod or plunger extending through the housing. On the exterior end of the rod is a protective cap and on the interior is a flexibl e rubber hemispherical bumper. A spring disposed between the cap and the exterior sid e of the cover housing biases the bumper away from the button on the reset switch. In operation, the cap is pushed towards the housing causing the rod or plunger to advance towards and contact the reset switch button. The bumper deforms or balloons outward upon contact with the button so as to impart sufficient for ce to depress the button but not so much force so as to damage or break the reset switch itself. When the cap is released, the spring moves the bumper away from the reset switch allowing the bumper to return to its original shape.

Title: Overcurrent protection for circuit interrupting devices
Inventor: DISALVO ICHOLAS L
IPC: H01H83/02
Filed: 2005-04-29
Abstract: The present invention is directed to current interrupting devices with overcurrent protection. In one embodiment, a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is disclosed having both ground fault and overcurrent protection. The GFCI has a current detection circuit that includes a switch connected across the load phase terminal and the line neutral terminal of the device. A comparator compares a predefined threshold voltage to a sensed voltage based on a current through the line and load neutral terminals of the device. If the sensed voltage exceeds the predefined threshold, the comparator causes the switch to conduct thereby tripping the device, disconnecting the load from the line terminals and preventing the overcurrent condition from causing damage to the device and/or load.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of preparing a vaccine. Said method includes: 1) analyzing specific antigen of particular pathogen; 2) obtaining a polynucleotide encoding the specific antigen; 3) obtaining a polynucleotide sequence having a sufficient difference from the polynucleotide; 4) preparing a vaccine using the polynucleotide sequence. The present invention also provides anti-tumor vaccines, particularly anti-tumor EGFR molecular vaccines.  Said anti-tumor EGFR molecular vaccines are a variety of new biotechnological vaccines constructed by using EGFR moleculars as anigens, including protein vaccines, gene vaccines, virus vaccines, gene-modified vaccines and stably transformed symbiotic bacterium. One of the biological function of the EGFR  molecular vaccines has an anti-tumor effect on a variety of solid tumor cancer which over-express the EGFR molecular, eg., lung cancer, breast cancer, ovary cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, etc, including a protective anti-tumor immune effect, therapeutic anti-tumor effect and inhibiting cancer metastasis. The anti-tumor action mechanism of EGFR  molecular vaccine is that said EGFR moleculars may destroy an individual~s immune tolerance to self-EGFR molecular as cross-reactive antigens, and therefore induce an immuno-cross-response to the self-EGFR molecular in the individual, including active immune reaction (cellular immune reaction and humoral immune reaction) and passive immune reaction (adoptive immune reaction). Said anti-tumor EGFR molecular vaccines are either traditional preparation (aqua, lyophilized powder) or nano preparation prepared by nano biotechnology. Said EGFR molecular vaccine exhibits an enhanced anti-tumor effect through the synergistic action of other immunopotentiator.
