Granted: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A dispenser can automatically dispense chemical from an aerosol container (22) at predetermined intervals without the use of electric power. A diaphragm (58) at least partially defines an accumulation chamber (56) that receives chemical from the can (22) during an accumulation phase. Once the internal pressure of the accumulation chamber (56) reaches a predetermined threshold, the diaphragm (58) moves, carring with it valving (33) that controls a spray burst. The diaphragm (58) assumes its original position when the pressure within the accumulation chamber (56) falls below a threshold pressure. A barrier prevents the aerosol container (22) from resuppling the accumulation chamber (56) at a high rate during the spray phase, preferably due to a porous gasket disposed in a passageway linking the dispenser to the aerosol container (22).

Abstract: This invention generally relates to a method and an apparatus for subdividing a sheet of brittle insulating material provided with a plurality of semiconductor chips electrically bonded to respective underlying circuit blocks printed on the sheet to provide each chip with its own substrate. The chips are arranged in rows and columns separated one from the other by row and column kerfs each of which contains a respective scribed line. The subdivision of the sheet is accomplished by placing the scribed chip carrying sheet in a flexible conformable nest having a solid bottom and a top having an open grid, formed of ribs, with each rib positioned over a respective scribe line on the surface of the sheet; positioning a rigid convex, arched anvil parallel to the scribe lines in the row kerfs, pneumatically forcing the sheet containing nest to conform to the arch of the anvil and thereby fracture the sheet along the scribe lines in the row kerfs lying parallel to the arch; removing the pneumatic force, rotating the anvil ninety degrees to parallel the scribe lines in the column kerfs, pneumatically forcing the conformable nest against the rotated anvil to fracture the sheet along the scribe lines in the column kerfs, removing the pneumatic force, removing the nest from the apparatus and removing the individualized chip bearing substrates from the nest.

Title: Cap feeding apparatus for a fastener gun
Inventor: LAMB FREDERICK W
IPC: B25C5/16
Filed: 2003-08-05
Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: A construction tool and method of use for affixing holding cap washers to roofing paper and building wrap tar paper. The tool is a combination of a fastener-driving gun together with a feeding magazine holding a clip of plastic cap washers to be affixed, and the feed magazine feeds successive cap washers under the nose of the fastener-driving gun so that fasteners, such as nails or staples, can penetrate the cap washer and hold down the roofing paper or building wrap tar paper. As the cap approaches the nose of the gun, the cap feeder flips the cap ninety degrees along an axis transverse to the feed direction. A shortened shuttle is used with a spring arm holding one edge of the leading cap in the magazine and the rearward portion of the shuttle holding the other edge of the leading cap.

Abstract: A method of determining residue-echo threshold for the trans-hybrid echo path of a loop start (LS) trunk line, comprising the steps of estimating the impulse response of the trans-hybrid echo path, passing a speech-like signal through the LS trunk circuit and collecting the echo signal. The collected echo signal is compared to the convolution of the speech-like signal with the estimated impulse response. The difference between the convolution result and the collected echo signal is the residue echo, which represents the effect of nonlinearity. With different levels of excitation signal, a curve of residue echo power level against input signal level is obtained, and the distortion characteristics are derived from this curve.

Abstract: A system and method of creating and managing encryption keys in a data processing device generates subsequent encryption keys by combining the existing encryption key with an existing password and seed value. In the preferred embodiment, the initial encryption key is embedded during manufacture and is unknown to the user and manufacturer, thus ensuring that all subsequent encryption keys are derived from an unknown value. When a subsequent encryption key is generated, all data encrypted using the existing encryption key is decrypted using the existing encryption key and re-encrypted using the subsequent encryption key before the existing encryption key is overwritten. In a further aspect, during encryption/decryption the encryption key is combined with the sector address of the data to be encrypted/decrypted in order to generate a unique key for each sector of data to be encrypted/decrypted.

Title: Cobalamin conjugates for anti-tumor therapy
Inventor: WEINSHENKER NED M
IPC: A61K31/714
Filed: 2004-09-10
Granted: 2011-12-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a cobalamin-drug conjugate suitable for the treatment of tumor related diseases. Cobalamin is indirectly covalently bound to an antitumor drug via a cleavable linker and one or more optional spacers.  Cobalanin is covalently bound to a first spacer or the cleavable linker via the 5'-OH of the cobalamin ribose ring. The drug is bound to a second spacer of the cleavable linker via an existing or added functional group on the drug.  After administration, the conjugate forms a complex with transcobalamin (any of its isoforms). The complex then binds to a receptor on a cell membrane and is taken up into the cell. Once in the cell, an intracellular enzyme cleaves the conjugate thereby releasing the drug. Depending upon the structure of the conjugate, a particular class or type of intracellular enzyme affects the cleavage. Due to the high demand for cobalamin in growing cells, tumor cells typically take up a higher percentage of the conjugate than do normal non-growing cells. The conjugate of the invention advantageously provides a reduced systemic toxicity and enhanced efficacy as compared to a corresponding free drug.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing information to the public by way of publicly accessible devices. A network of video displays are deployed at publicly accessible locations such as inside public transportation vehicles or at public transportation stations. The video feed to these video displays are provided by a video distribution hub which receives the video feed from a network hub. Different audio feeds are accessible to end users or by telephone. End users can call a telephone interface which receives and routes audio feeds from an audio distribution hub. End users can access audio feeds which may be synchronized with a video feed to provide a complete audio visual experience to the end user. For more useful content, the video displayed at any location may be adjusted to be relevant to the area where the video display is deployed. Audio content synchronized to one of these disparate video feeds can be accessed by the end user by dialing different options through the telephone interface. Audio feeds not tied to a specific video feed, such as radio stations or themed audio feeds, may also be accessed by the end user through the telephone interface.

Abstract: An equalizer for a suspension system for a trailer is configured to absorb or dampen the harsh shocks or vibrations coming off of the leaf springs proximate to a center frame hangar, thus allowing for a "softer" ride. The equalizer utilizes one or two independent equalizer arm assemblies or castings which are each rotatably secured within the equalizer. Each equalizer arm assembly or casting is operatively associated with one of the leaf springs such that upon upward movement of the leaf spring, the associated equalizer arm assembly or casting is forced to rotate within the equalizer and to deform a shock absorber provided within the equalizer. The shock absorber, upon the deformation thereof, absorbs the harsh shocks or vibrations which would otherwise normally be transferred from the leaf springs, to the equalizer, and thus to the frame of the trailer.
