Title: Low surface energy coatings
Inventor: WALLS JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: C23C16/26
Filed: 1995-10-03
Granted: 1998-11-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing an outer layer coating on a substrate such as an optical lens and the coating has low surface energy properties. The method of the invention involves the introduction of gas including hydrocarbon groupings into the vacuum chamber in which the substrates are optionally previously coated and thereby allows the provision of the coating to be an integral part of a coating process and also allows the coating apparatus provided to be utilised. The current method allows control of the application of the layer by using control apparatus already provided.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming elongated metal cans from relatively short cups by utilizing a reciprocating ram to drive the cups one at a time through a die pack, is provided with a continuously rotating feeder that transfers the cups from the exit of a gravity feed chute to a receiving station where each cup is indexed for engagement by the ram as it moves forward in its working stroke. The feeder rotates through one complete revolution for each forward-return cycle of the ram and during each revolution thereof a pocket in the feeder receives a cup from the chute, which cup then moves downstream through a guideway to a receiving station. Prior to being seated in a registry formation at the receiving station, the cup is engaged by a stripper that removes the cup from the feeder pocket. The feeder continues to drive the cup toward the registry formation while the cup is being stripped from the feeder pocket. A tensioner device and a formation on the feeder maintain the cup seated fully on the registry formation during the initial engagement of the cup by the ram while the latter moves forward in its working stroke.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to the identification of the molecular basis of long QT syndrome. More specifically, the invention has identified that mutated KVLQT1 causes long QT syndrome. The analysis of this gene will provide an early diagnosis of subjects with long QT syndrome. The diagnostic methods comprise analyzing the nucleic acid sequence of the KVLQT1 gene of an individual to be tested and comparing them with the nucleic acid sequence of the native, non-variant gene. Alternatively, the amino acid sequence of KVLQT1 may be analyzed for mutations which cause long QT syndrome. Presymptomatic diagnosis of long QT syndrome will enable practitioners to treat this disorder using existing medical therapy. A second aspect of the invention relates to the realization that KVLQT1 coassembles with minK to form a cardiac potassium channel.; This allows one to assay for drugs which interact with this channel to identify new drugs which are useful for treating or preventing long QT.
