Granted: 2003-08-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a transmission unit with a transmission housing (2) which has an essentially cylindrical inside space (5) for receiving individual transmission elements (15). The invention is characterised in that at least two elements (11, 12, 13, 14, 16) are provided for connecting an individual transmission element (15) to the transmission housing (2) in a radial direction, said elements being allocated to the inside space beyond the area of the largest dimension in the direction of height in the installation position. The arrangement is preferably carried out in the corner areas (7, 8, 9, 10) of the housing and can be described by the intersection of the inside space and a theoretically constructible square qtheoretisch with a lateral dimension greater than or equal to the diameter d of the inside space, the theoretically constructible square qtheoretisch and the inside space having identical axes of symmetry (51, 52).

Abstract: A number of indenoisoquinolines were prepared and evaluated for cytotoxicity in human cancer cell cultures and for activity vs. topoisomerase I. The two most cytotoxic indenoisoquinolines proved to be cis-6-ethyl-5,6,12,13-tetrahydro-2,3-dimethoxy-8,9-(methylenedioxy)-5,11-dioxo-11H-indeno[1,2-c]isoquinoline and cis-6-allyl-5,6,12,13-tetrahydro-2,3-dimethoxy-8,9-(methylenedioxy)-5,11-dioxo-(11H)indeno[1,2-c]isoquinoline. Two of the most potent topoisomerase I inhibitors were 6-(3-carboxy-1-propyl)-5,6-dihydro-5,11-dioxo-11H-indeno[1,2-c]isoquinoline (26) and 6-ethyl-2,3-dimethoxy-8,9-(methylenedioxy)11H-indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolinium chloride (27).

Abstract: A novel signal transducer TAB2 which acts as an adapter molecule of TRAF6 and TAK1 and mediates the activation of TAK1 in the signal transduction of IL-1 was isolated. TAB2 induced the activation of NF- kappa B and JNK by IL-1. The signal transduction by IL-1 was inhibited by inhibiting the signal transduction of TAB2 with the use of a dominant negative mutant of TAB2. A compound inhibiting the signal transduction in TAB2 is useful as an anti-inflammatory drug.

Title: An animal house ventilation system
Inventor: KELLETT GERARD
IPC: A01K1/00
Filed: 2009-09-10
Abstract: An animal house ventilation system (1) of the invention comprises a roof (2) having a medium level pitch and vents (3) in walls of the building. The roof (2) supports exhaust chimneys, including some chimneys (4) having both baffles (6) and exhaust fans (7), and chimneys (5) having only baffles (8), without fans. A computer-based controller (10) is linked with sensors including temperature, pressure, ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (C02) sensors, and at its output controls the vents (3), the exhaust fans (7), and the exhaust baffles (6, 8). The controller (10) causes the system (1) to operate as a natural ventilation system utilizing the vents (3) and all of the chimneys (4, 5) in the roof as openings for ventilation until a point is reached where there is not enough air movement through the house under natural conditions to ensure the comfort of the animals. At this stage the fans are started at a low speed and, when this happens, the baffles (8) in the chimneys S (those without fans) are closed by their baffles to ensure that there is no downdraught. The inlet vents (3) can then continue to open and at the same time the fans are gradually increased in speed, and continue to increase in speed after the inlet vents (3) have reached a position of fully open to keep the temperature in the room at the required level. <Figure 4>

Title: Safety joint for brake lever and clutch lever
Inventor: DAIDONE IGNAZIO
IPC: B62K/
Filed: 1995-02-06
Granted: 1998-03-23
Abstract: Safety joint for brake lever and clutch lever of motorcycles in general, in the event of a fall, the joint allows the levers (brake and clutch) to absorb part of the impact, also allowing rotations of 360 degree on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the lever and other small rotations in the plane containing the axis of the lever. Moreover, if the lever breaks, it will certainly not be dangerous because, as it shatters close to the joint, it will have a rubber or rounded end, depending on the case. It will be seen from the above that the invention could be useful, not only on motor cycles in general, but also on all those motorcycles that take part in sports meetings (motocross, enduro, speed races, etc.). <IMAGE>

IPC: C22B5/12
Filed: 2006-02-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the separation and recovery of non-ferrous metals from zinc-bearing residues, in particular from residues produced by the zinc manufacturing industry. The process allows for the valorisation of metal values in a Zn-, Fe- and Pb-bearing residue, and comprises the steps of: subjecting the residue to a direct reduction step, thereby producing a metallic Fe-bearing phase and Zn- and Pb-bearing first fumes; extracting the Zn- and Pb-bearing first fumes and valorising Zn and Pb; subjecting the metallic Fe-bearing phase to an oxidising smelting step, thereby producing an Fe-bearing slag and second metals-bearing fumes; extracting the second metals-bearing fumes and valorising at least part of their metallic content. The main advantage of this process is that an environmentally acceptable output for Fe is obtained.
