Title: Room temperature crosslinked foam
Inventor: KORWIN-EDSON MICHELLE
IPC: C08J9/00
Filed: 2010-01-18
Abstract: Low rise, user friendly latex foams for sealing insulative cavities of a building are provided. The foams may be applied to the interface of the sheathing and the studs within the insulative cavities to reduce air leaks. The latex foams may also be applied to the face of the studs to obtain an additional seal against air infiltration. The foam can be used to affix fiberglass batts, batt flanges, and vapor barriers to the framing without mechanical fasteners. A tackifier may be added to impart an adhesive quality to the foam. The tacky nature of the foam permits the drywall or vapor barrier to be repositioned without damage. Drywall is held onto the face of the studs by the tacky foam while mechanical fasteners are inserted to permanently affix the drywall to the framing. The compressive nature of the foam permits drywall to be attached without significant bowing or detachment.

Title: Process and apparatus for precipitating cationic metal hydroxides and the recovery of sulfuric acid from acidic solutions
Inventor: BLUNN ADAM JUSTIN
IPC: C25B9/19
Filed: 2010-01-20
Abstract: An electric current is passed through an acidic solution containing one or more soluble metal salts in an electrolytic cell divided by an anion exchange membrane. The acidic solution is fed into the cathode compartment whereby the passage of electric current at sufficient voltage causes the generation of hydrogen at the cathode. This gives rise to a localized very highly polarized region at the cathode resulting in a localized effective high relative pH. This causes the metal cation species to precipitate as a hydroxide (or oxide) species and electroadsorption/electrocoagulation causes the finely precipitated hydroxide (or oxide) species to adhere to the cathode. Electrodialytic transport of the liberated acid anions across the anion exchange membrane selectively removes the acid anions. Oxygen and hydrogen ions are formed by hydrolysis as the counter-reaction at the anode.  Hydrogen ions combine with the anions to regenerate sulfuric acid. This enables the recovery of cationic metal species within a solution in which the bulk pH would not ordinarily allow hydroxide formation, while simultaneously regenerating sulfuric acid. The anion exchange membrane keeps the acid anion separate from the metal and acid solution so as to enable the concentration and recovery of sulfuric acid.

Abstract: A gas regulator fitting shall be provided that prevents distortions of the temperature value to be regulated which are caused by ambient temperature fluctuations. Retrofitting without intervention into the gas-conducting space shall also be allowed. To this end, one or more bimetal discs (17) are arranged outside of the gas-conducting space of the gas regulator fitting, between an operating element (18) for setting the desired temperature and a longitudinally movable ram (8), the position of which can be altered by way of a metal bellows (9) which is connected to a temperature sensor (11) via a capillary line (10). The ram (8) protrudes into the gas-conducting space and actuates a switch which controls a valve for regulating the gas stream to the main burner. The bimetal discs (17) are arranged such that the total height thereof, which is altered in the direction of movement of the ram (8) depending on the ambient temperature, can influence the position of the metal bellows (9).

Abstract: The gene (SLC6A4) responsible for encod-ing the serotonin transporter (SERT) has a functional poly-morphism at the 5'-regulatory promoter region, which re-sults in two forms, long (L) and short (S). The LL-geno-type is hypothesized to play a key role in the early onset of alcohol use. The present invention discloses the differ-ences in treatment and diagnosis based on the L or short genotypes as well as on a single nucleotide polymorphism of the SERT gene, the 3' UTR SNP rs1042173. The present invention demonstrates the efficacy of using the drug ondansetron and similar drugs for treatment based on diagnosing variations in the polymorphisms of the SERT  gene and expression and activity of the SERT gene, as well as methods for diagnosing susceptibility to abuse of alcohol and other addiction-related diseases and disorders, for monitoring treatment and/or abuse (addictive behavior), and for determining which treatment should be used.
