Title: Method and system for powering an otto cycle engine using gasoline and compressed natural gas
Inventor: YOUNG KIMBERLEY ALLAN
IPC: F02B69/04
Filed: 2011-06-02
Abstract: Described are a method and system for powering an Otto-cycle engine using gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG). The Otto-cycle engine can be powered by determining a quantity of the gasoline and a quantity of the CNG to deliver to a cylinder of the engine during an engine cycle such that combustion within the cylinder occurs at a pre-determined air-fuel ratio; delivering the quantity of the gasoline to the cylinder via a gasoline injector and delivering the quantity of the CNG to the cylinder via a CNG injector such that the gasoline and the CNG combust during the same combustion event; and combusting the gasoline and the CNG within the cylinder. Delivering CNG and gasoline to the cylinder using separate injectors allows the quantities of CNG and gasoline to vary in response to engine operating conditions, which allows the fuel mixture to be adjusted to satisfy, for example, engine power and emissions criteria as desired.

Abstract: A lock (10) comprises a housing (11 ) defining a mounting face (12), a locking mechanism (21 ) accommodated in the housing (11 ) and operable to change between a locking state and a release state and a set of operating elements (25) with buttons (26) accessible at the front of the housing and actuable, such as by axial displacement, to operate the locking mechanism (21). The locking mechanism (21 ) can be changed from the locking state to the release state in response to actuation of, and only of, a selected group of the operating elements (25). These elements can additionally be manipulated, in particular rotated, to select the group. The buttons of the selected group can be identified by respectively associated digits forming a code. The lock further comprises a slidable blocking plate (31) blocking the rotation of the operating elements (25) and cancelling means (36 - 38) operable to cancel the blocking by the plate (31). The cancelling means includes a key barrel (37) accessible for operation externally of the housing (11) at a place, in particular the front of the housing, separate from the mounting face. Operation of the key barrel (37) thus has the consequence of freeing the buttons (26) for rotation to change the code.

Title: Oncofetal antigen/immature laminin receptor peptides for the sensitization of dendritic cells for cancer therapy
Inventor: OLLE ERIC W
IPC: A61K38/08
Filed: 2010-03-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of making peptides or a mixture of peptides that can be used to pulse dendritic cells against the oncofetal antigen/immature laminin receptor protein (OFA/iLRP). More specifically, dendritic cells can be derived from a range of different sources that can direct the immune system to attack specific antigens. Once sensitized, either ex vivo, in vivo or in vitro, the dendritic cells will aid an individual's own immune system to protect against or treat all types of OFA/  iLRP-related cancer. The peptides may also be used for detection, diagnosis and monitoring, and treatment of a OFA/iLRP-related cancer.
