IPC: B64G1/40

Abstract: This novel engine is capable of steadily pushing a spacecraft through the vacuum of space without the need for any fuel burned or any high-velocity gases expelled to propel the vehicle forward. In each cycle, a moving ball comes to a stop and reverses its direction of movement; this cycle then repeats itself through impact collision, meaning the ball keeps bouncing off the engine's frame. In physics, this is called an elastic collision, whereby the ball transfers its momentum to the engine's frame and re-gains it by bouncing back. Akin to a "Newton's cradle", a set of stationary solid spheres/balls arranged symmetrically and held in place by wire ropes in the shape of a semi-circle (180 degrees) or a quarter-circle (90 degrees) act as the medium, through which the instantaneous energy of impact (impulse) of one dynamic ball is transferred to the other. For this closed cycle to continue to work indefinitely, two electromagnets are used to add enough kinetic energy to the dynamic balls in order to account for the energy losses in each cycle. By creating a perfectly elastic 'collision' between the dynamic ball and the engine's frame, both the momentum and kinetic energy of the ball are conserved. As a result, a net impulse (force applied over a period of time) is repeatedly added to the engine's frame and subsequently to the spacecraft, causing it to gradually gain momentum and accelerate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved LCMS technology and its uses in methods for the selective identifica-tion and characterization of immunogenic pathogen associated epitopes, and the use thereof in vaccine development. One way of bridging the knowledge gap on T cell epitopes is to apply a new platform technology, "immunoproteomics", to directly assess the epitope display at the surface of antigen presenting cells by nanoscale mass spectrometry of extracted peptide samples. This is the only methodology that can provide unbiased insight into epitope features such as the exact molecular nature, diversity, abundance, dynamics and PTM of T cell epitopes originating from pathogen-derived proteins. Therefore, this platform technology and im-munoproteomics should become an intrinsic part of vaccinology.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for making directional measurements toward a formation of different resistivity that is proximate to the borehole, but which is not penetrated by the borehole. The disclosed methods and apparatus include the use of at least one insulated gap and at least one magnetometer positioned within a non-magnetic housing that is disposed within a non-magnetic tubular. An electric current is applied across the insulated gap, which results in current leaking into the surrounding formations. When a formation of contrasting resistivity is proximate to the logging apparatus, the magnetometer detects a secondary magnetic due to the contrasting formation. The direction of the secondary magnetic field can be used to determine the direction to the contrasting formation. The magnitude of the secondary magnetic field can be used to determine the distance position to the contrasting formation.

Abstract: The disclosed electrosurgical systems and methods accurately determine the power actually applied to a load by using equalizers to calibrate the power measurements. The electrosurgical systems include an electrosurgical generator and an electrosurgical instrument coupled to the electrosurgical generator through an electrosurgical cable. The electrosurgical generator includes an electrical energy source, voltage and current detectors, equalizers that estimate the voltage and current applied to a load, and a power calculation unit that calculates estimated power based upon the estimated voltage and current. The methods of calibrating an electrosurgical generator involve applying a resistive element across output terminals of the electrosurgical generator, applying a test signal to the resistive element, measuring the magnitude and phase angle of voltage and current components of the test signal within the electrosurgical generator, estimating the magnitude and phase angle of the voltage and current at the resistive element using equalizers, and determining gain correction factors and minimum phase angles for the equalizers.
