Abstract: The system for propelling the Air Car consists of a propeller, mounted on the top of the cabin and below the roof (wing of the craft). This propeller is driven by the same power as a bottom propeller, which rotates in the opposite direction (to the top one). The wing has a shutter at the back, to control the air movements, forcing the craft into a forward motion when open. The wing of the Air Car has a double wall, filled with styrofoam, for both strength and light weight. The propeller has a heavier rim and it acts as a flywheel and gyroscope. There will be landing gear on the bottom of the Air Car that is designed in such a way to allow the three legs (tripod position) to be tucked away while flying.

Title: Multi-axle leaf spring suspension with compliant equalizer
Inventor: TRINDLE TERRY L
IPC: B60G5/047
Filed: 2006-09-20
Abstract: A multi-axle leaf spring suspension having a compliant equalizer. The leaf springs are mounted one behind the other on each side of the vehicle. Adjacent ends of the leaf springs are pivotally attached to the compliant equalizer.  The compliant equalizer is pivotally mounted to a vehicle frame. The compliant equalizer comprises a pair of arms that are pivotally connected to each other in a scissor-like fashion. One end of each arm is pivotally connected to the end of a leaf spring. The other end of each arm is cooperatively arranged to contain and compress a spring member between them. The compliant equalizer reduces the magnitude of shocks that would be other wise transmitted to the suspension and frame by absorbing them through compression of the spring member.

Title: Method and apparatus for characterizing and counting particles, in particular biological particles
Inventor: MEDORO GIANNI
IPC: C12M1/42
Filed: 2006-03-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the characterization and/or the counting of particles by means of non uniform, time variable force fields and integrated optical or impedance meter sensors.  The force fields can be of positive or negative dielectrophoresis, electrophoresis or electro-hydrodynamic motions, characterized by a set of stable equilibrium points for the particles (solid, liquid or gaseous); the same method is suitable for the manipulation of droplets (liquid particles) by exploiting effects known to the international scientific community with the name of Electro-wetting on dielectric. The aim of the present invention is to act on the control of the position of each particle which is present in the sample, for the purpose of displacing such particles in a deterministic or statistical way, in order to detect their presence with the integrated optical or impedance meter sensors and/or characterize their type, for the purpose of counting or manipulating them in an efficient way.

Title: Pyrazine derivatives and uses thereof in renal monitoring
Inventor: NEUMANN WILLIAM L
IPC: C07D241/26
Filed: 2007-06-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to pyrazine derivatives such as those represented by Formulas (I) and (II) below. X1 to X4 of the compounds of Formulas I and II may be characterized as electron withdrawing groups. In contrast, Y1 to Y4 of the compounds of Formulas I and II may be characterized as electron donating groups. Pyrazine derivatives of the present invention may be utilized in assessing renal function. In particular, an effective amount of a pyrazine derivative of the invention may be administered into a body of a patient. The pyrazine derivative that is in the body may be exposed to visible and/or infrared light to cause spectral energy to emanate from the pyrazine derivative. This emanating spectral energy may be detected and utilized to determine renal function of the patient.

Patent CA-2633122-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAKER JOSHUA DOUGLAS
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 2006-12-06
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for verifying an acceptable splice termination include propagating light energy into the stub optical fiber of a fiber optic connector, detecting and collecting the amount of optical power emanating from the stub optical fiber at a termination area of the connector, converting the optical power to an electrical signal proportional to the amount of collected optical power, and displaying the electrical signal on a feedback monitor, such as an optical power meter, an LCD bar graph, or an LED. An initial (i.e., reference) value is obtained with the field optical fiber not in physical contact with the stub optical fiber. A final (i.e., terminated) value is obtained with the field optical fiber in physical contact with the stub optical fiber and terminated to the connector. The final value is compared to the initial value to determine whether the change (i.e., difference) is sufficient. Alternatively, the final value is compared to a predetermined limit or threshold.

Title: Catalyst for fuel cell electrode, process for producing catalyst for fuel cell electrode, membrane electrode assembly and fuel cell
Inventor: HASEGAWA MASAKI
IPC: H01M4/88
Filed: 2006-12-27
Abstract: A catalyst for fuel cell electrodes which is advantageous for inhibiting a carbon support, e.g., carbon nanotubes, from agglomerating and is advantageous for keeping three ingredients consisting of the carbon support, a catalyst ingredient, and an electrolyte ingredient in tight contact with one another;  and a process for producing the catalyst for fuel cell electrodes. The catalyst for fuel cell electrodes comprises a carbon support having a .PI.-conjugated system (e.g., CNTs), an electrolyte ingredient having an aromatic ring, and a catalyst ingredient. In the process for producing the catalyst for fuel cell electrodes, a carbon support having a .PI.-conjugated system (e.g., CNTs), an electrolyte ingredient having an aromatic ring, and a catalyst ingredient are brought into contact with one another in a solvent. Thus, the carbon support can be modified with the electrolyte ingredient and the catalyst ingredient can be fixed to the support.

Patent CA-2644967-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARHEN EDWARD PAUL
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 2007-03-05
Abstract: When transesophageal echocardiography is used to obtain a transgastric short axis view of the left ventricle of the heart, the best place to position the transducer is in the fundus of the stomach, aimed up through the left ventricle. The probes disclosed herein facilitate placement of the transducer in the optimum position within the fundus, despite wide variations in the distance between the lower esophageal sphincter and the fundus among different subjects. In one preferred embodiment, the ultrasound probe uses a bending section with a series of vertebrae and stiffening that is more flexible proximally and less flexible distally, which causes the probe to bend relatively sharply at the point where the probe exits the lower esophageal sphincter.
