Title: Low power control system and associated methods for a water heater with flammable vapor sensor
Inventor: KOIVISTO RANDY R
IPC: F23N5/00
Filed: 2006-05-16
Abstract: A transistor used as a normally open switch is connected in the millivolt electrical circuit of a fuel-fired natural draft water heater in series with a thermopile device impinged upon by a standing pilot flame, and the solenoid coil portion of the pilot fuel valve. A variable resistance type flammable vapor sensor is connected in a control circuit which is powered by a DC battery and is coupled only to the transistor portion of the millivolt circuit. In the absence of flammable vapor detection by the sensor the control circuit outputs an electrical signal to the transistor that holds it in a closed position to thereby maintain the standing pilot flame.      In response to sensor detection of flammable vapor, the control circuit output signal terminates to cause the transistor to return to its normally open switch position, thereby shutting off the pilot flame.

Title: Elevator arrangement
Inventor: PERAELAE PEKKA
IPC: E05F15/00
Filed: 2005-01-17
Abstract: The method of the present invention can be used to monitor and predict the condition of an automatic door of an elevator or more generally an automatic door in a building. In the method, the acceleration or velocity of the door is measured and a dynamic model of the door is created. Using the model, estimated values of acceleration or velocity of the door can be calculated as a function of unknown parameters. One of the unknown parameters is the frictional force acting on the door during movement. By utilizing the estimated acceleration or velocity as well as measured acceleration or velocity values, an error function is obtained, whose minimum value is found using an optimizer. The unknown parameters corresponding to the minimum value indicate the current condition of the door. On the basis of earlier measurement results, it is additionally possible to predict a point of time when a failure is likely to occur in the operation of the door. In addition to unknown force parameters, it is possible, using a genetic algorithm, to determine the operational condition of a door closing device as well.

IPC: A61K39/08
Filed: 2005-09-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating a cancer using a neurotoxin, preferably Botulinum toxin (~BTX~). The application of a neurotoxin around a cancer acts to decrease the contractile forces of the muscles surrounding a neoplasm which normally squeeze cancer cells through efferent channels leaving the cancer vicinity to distant sites. Also, the application of the toxin at sites distant from the cancer enhances cellular and humoral immunologic functions which further contributes to cancer cell death and spread. Following administration of botulinum toxin around and distant to a cancer, it is noticed that local, regional, and distant spread is reduced or eliminated. Immunomodulation with botulinum toxin is also valuable in treating other disease that may or may not be associated with cancers, such as viral-induced growths, viral conditions, fungal disease, chronic wounds, graft versus host disease, autoimmune disease, and HIV.
