Title: Wheel measuring apparatus and wheel balancer incorporating same
Inventor: QUINLAN MICHAEL MARTIN
IPC: G01M1/02
Filed: 1989-09-06
Granted: 1992-07-16
Abstract: A wheel balancer (1) comprises apparatus (16) for determining the radius of a rim (15) of a hub (10) of a wheel (9) and for determining the distance of the inner and outer side walls (12,13) of the hub (10) from a reference plane (18). A framework (17) which is pivotal downwardly over the wheel (9) to be balanced carries a pair of ultrasonic transducers (26,27) to determine distance of the sides (12,13) of the wheel (9) from the reference plane (18). A transducer (28) monitors the position of the framework (17). The distances monitored by the ultrasonic transducers (26,27) are stored in a microprocessor (60) against the corresponding positions of the framework (17) at intervals on movement of the framework (17). The ultrasonic transducers (26,27) detect a large change in distance from the reference plane (18) caused by the hub well periphery (30). The hub rim radius (15) is computed from the well periphery radius (30), while the distances of the side wall (12,13) from the reference plane (18) is obtained by looking up the stored values of distances which corresponds with the appropriate position of the framework (17) for the hub rim radius (15).

Granted: 2004-07-15
Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a first oligonucleotide comprising the sequence of or derived from 5'-CTAGGGCGGGCGGGACTCACCTAC-3' or the nucleic acid sequence complementary thereto. The first oligonucleotide can be used with a nucleic acid of between 15 and 30 nucleotides that does not comprise the sequence of the first oligonucleotide and is found in the region from Vbeta to Jbeta of the Vbeta13.1 gene in Vbeta13.1 T cells, wherein the sequences of the oligonucleotide and the nucleic acid are not found on the same strand of the Vbeta13.1 gene pair, to amplify a portion of the Vbeta13.1 gene. Alternatively, the first oligonucleotide can be used with a labeling moiety in methods of detecting a LGRAGLTY motif found in T cell receptors of Vbeta13.1 T cells. This motif is associated with autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Once the motif is detected, the autoimmune disease can be treated or its progress monitored. The autoimmune disease can be treated by administering a peptide comprising the LGRAGLTY motif.

Granted: 2004-03-18
Abstract: A system is provided having a sensing device for sensing coded data printed on a print media surface which is installed with a secret key and a first identifier which uniquely identifies the sensing device, a printer installed with a second identifier which uniquely identifies the printer, and a server installed with the first and second identifiers. The printer obtains the first identifier from the sensing device and communicates the first and second identifiers to the server. The server determines from the received first and second identifiers whether the sensing device should be registered with the printer and if so, authenticates the sensing device by verifying an encryption from the sensing device, using the secret key, of a challenge message. Upon successful authentication, the sensing device is registered in the server so as to be associated with the printer.

Title: Selectively actuatable lighter
Inventor: MCDONOUGH JAMES M
IPC: F23Q2/16
Filed: 1993-10-22
Granted: 1997-02-27
Abstract: A selectively actuatable lighter device (10) is disclosed which includes a body defining reservoir (12) for containing a combustible gaseous medium such as butane, and having a valve (20) arranged to be selectively actuated between a normally closed position and an open position which permits the exit of the gaseous medium. Such lighter (10) can selectively produce sparks at a location (19, 22) proximate to the gaseous medium exit to ignite the gaseous medium. Such lighter device (10) embodies a resiliently releasable valve actuator (14) which normally prevents actuation of the valve (22). The valve actuator (14) includes an interfering portion (14A) which is selectively movable to a position (Fig. 11) out of interference with an interfering portion (12A) of the lighter body, so that the gaseous medium may be released and ignited by the sparks. Once the valve actuator (14) is depressed and released, it returns to its closed or latched position to prevent actuation of the valve to the open position. To "re-use" the lighter, the valve actuator (14) must again be moved to an unlatched position so that the valve (22) can be actuated for subsequent ignition of the gaseous medium.
