Title: Deck screws suitable for use with composite lumber
Inventor: DRUSCHEL TOM
IPC: F16B23/00
Filed: 2002-08-05
Abstract: A deck screw and an installation method is intended for use with composite lumber, although it can be used with other products. The deck screw may be provided with a head and a shaft that has two regions of varying diameter. The upper region has threads that exceed the number of threads of the lower shaft, on a unit length basis. The threads of the upper shaft may be configured in an inverted buttress design. The lower region of the shaft terminates at a tapered distal end having a pointed tip that leads the screw through the wood material. The head of the screw is provided with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a crown that extends around the perimeter of the head. The crown extends beyond the lower surface of the head, forming a recessed region between the lower edge of the crown and the shaft of the screw. During installation the geometry of the deck screw functions to direct and capture displaced composite material to prevent volcanoing.

Title: A device linking a supply unit and a user unit for the manufacture of tobacco products
Inventor: SPATAFORA MARIO
IPC: B65G47/51
Filed: 2002-12-12
Abstract: A supply unit and a user unit employed in the manufacture of tobacco products, typically cigarettes and the like, are linked by a duct along which a mass of the cigarettes is advanced from the outfeed of the supply unit toward the infeed of the user unit. The advancing mass of cigarettes is parted at an intermediate zone of the duct either by rods or by a pair of frames, in such a way as to create a void that will accommodate a trolley directed into the duct from a housing by an elevator; once inside the duct, the trolley proceeds to push the mass of cigarettes from the intermediate zone toward the inlet of a hopper in such a way as to empty the duct completely, for example when changing over from one brand of cigarette to another. To advantage, the trolley is composed of two articulated structures so that its geometry and dimensions can be varied to match the variations in geometry and depth of the duct.

Patent AU-2005268584-A1 (AU)
Title: Compression device
Inventor: WEBSTER NATHAN
IPC: A61H23/04
Filed: 2005-08-04
Abstract: A compression sleeve (10) has twelve inflatable cells (13) to be wrapped around a limb. The cells (13) are inflated to set pressures and duration by a fluid source. The cells (13) are numbered (1) to (12), with (1) being at the toe, or the wrist, and (12) being at the thigh, or the shoulder. In use, the inflation sequence begins with a peristaltic wave at cell (1) and finishes at cell (12). Then cell (12) is inflated and deflated 5 times, then cell (11) is inflated and deflated 5 times in the same way as cell (12), followed by a single peristaltic wave beginning at cell (12) to cell (11). This compression regime is repeated along the compression sleeve until cell (1) is inflated and deflated (5) times followed by a peristaltic wave from cell (1) to cell (12). The described compression sequence is particularly useful for lymphatic drainage.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of optically active derivatives of 2-(2-piridylmethylsulfinyl)-benzimidazole, or salts thereof, by resolution of the corresponding racemic derivatives of 2-(2-piridylmethylsulfinyl)-benzimidazole. The resolution is performed through the formation of inclusion complexes with (S)-(−) or (R)-(+)-[1,1′-Binaphthalene]-2,2′-diol in the presence of an amine, followed by the break of the inclusion complex by treatment with an hydroxide of an alkaline metal. The enantiomer of the derivative of 2-(2-piridylmethylsulfinyl)-benzimidazole may be obtained by extractions at a particular pH with a suitable organic solvent. The process allows to perform the resolution with high yields and high optical purity, without using neither toxic solvents nor chromatography.
