Abstract: A resilient, insulated door panel (21) for a sliding door includes a resilie nt core (32) protected by a compliant outer covering (40) with a seal (50, 52) disposed about the perimeter of the panel. The panel (21) has sufficient resilience to recover from an impact that temporarily deforms it, yet has sufficient rigidity to transmit a compressive force needed for effectively setting the seals. Much of the core (32) is filled with air to not only provide effective insulation and resilience, but to also provide an extremel y light-weight door panel that can be operated to travel rapidly along an overhead track. Some embodiments include relatively rigid backup plates (36) that provide a solid foundation to which the perimeter seals (50, 52) can be attached. The backup plates (36) are segmented so as not to completely restrict the flexibility of the door panel (21).

Title: Improved electrochemical sensor
Inventor: DENG YINGPING
IPC: G01N27/26
Filed: 2002-05-08
Granted: 2010-12-21
Abstract: Disclosed is an improved electrochemical sensor for the detection of an analyte in a fluid test sample. The electro-chemical sensor is of the type in which the fluid test sample is drawn into a capillary space and the improvement to the sensor involves an arrangement where a portion of the sensor's counter electrode is placed on the edge of the capillary space in a relationship to the sensor's working electrode such that if the capillary space is not completely filled there will be generated only a very weak current. When the sensor is connected to a properly programmed current detector, the weak current caused by the underfilling of the capillary space will be detected as an error and will notify the user of the sensor that the test should not be continued.

Title: Universal procedure for refolding recombinant proteins
Inventor: LIN XINLI
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2000-12-28
Granted: 2008-09-02
Abstract: A universal folding method that has been demonstrated to be effective in refolding a variety of very different pro-teins expressed in bacteria as inclusion bodies has been developed. Representative proteins that can be dissolved and refolded in biologically active form, with the native structure, are shown in Table I. The method has two key steps to unfold and then refold the proteins expressed in the inclusion bodies. The first step is to raise the pH of the protein solution in the presence of denaturing agents to pH greater than 9, preferably 10. The protein solution may be maintained at the elevated pH for a period of up to about 24 hours, or the pH immediately decreased slowly, in increments of about 0.2 pH units/24 hours, until the solution reaches a pH of about 8.0, or both steps used. In the preferred embodiment, purified inclusion bodies are dissolved in 8 M urea, 0.1 M Tris, 1 mM glycine, 1 mH EDTA, 10 mM beta-mercaptoethanol, 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 1 mM redued glutathion (GSH), 0.1 mM oxidized glutathion (GSSG), pH 10. The absorbance at 280 nm (OD280) of the protein solution is 5.0. This solution is rapidly diluted into 20 volumes of 20 mM Tris base. The resulting solution is adjusted to pH 9.0 with 1 M HCl and is kept at 4 C for 24 hrs. The pH is adjusted to pH 8.8 and the solution is kept at 4 C for another 24 hrs. This process is repeated until the pH is adjusted to 8.0. After 24 hrs at pH8.0, the refolded proteins can be concentrated by ultrafiltration and applied to a gel filtration column for purification.

Abstract: A system and method for distance learning that can be used to teach a typical IT training course. In one aspect, a student that desires to perform remotely an exercise from an IT training course uses his/her Java-capable browser to connect to a distance learning web server. The web server downloads to the browser a list of exercises that the student can choose from. After the student selects an exercise, the web server launches the virtual machines that are needed for the student to perform the selected exercise. The virtual machines are launched on a computer system that is remote from the student, but the computer system includes a remote display server. After the virtual machines are launched on the remote system, a remote display viewer is loaded in the student's browser and the remote display viewer connects to the remote display server. After the viewer connects to the remote display server, the viewer displays one or more of the virtual machines in a window on the student's computer. Thus, after the viewer connects to the remote display server, the student can remotely interact with the virtual machines that are required for the student to perform the exercise.

Abstract: An adjustable stair stringer and railing construction assembly is disclosed. The assembly is adapted to use a pair of parallel stringer arms for each side of the stair, a riser/tred support bracket for each stair and alignment and spacing elements for spacing the support brackets along the stringers. The brackets include formations for spacing the stringers with respect to each other and for spacing adjacent brackets along the stringers. The brackets are initially pivotally attached to each of the stringers so as to be rotatably movable about their pivotal attachment as the stringers are moved axially. Axial movement of the stringers with respect to each other establishes the angle of rise of the stair. Treads and risers are attached to the brackets to form the stairs and railings are attachable to the stringer and bracket assembly to complete the construction. The parallel stringers, brackets and spacers are also used in the preparation of formwork for pouring aggregate stairs with the stringers, brackets and spacers being reuseable.

Title: Multi-mode lighter
Inventor: TUBBY BRIAN
IPC: F23Q2/36
Filed: 2001-10-29
Granted: 2011-05-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighter (10), which a user actuates by at least two different modes of operation. In the first mode, a biasing member (42) is positioned to oppose movement of an actuating assembly (33) so that a user releases fuel and ignites the lighter (10) only if a high-actuation-force is applied to the actuator. In the first mode, the lighter resists operation by unintended users by requiring a user to have a predetermined level of strength to actuate the lighter. In the second mode, the biasing member (42) is moved to a different position which does not oppose movement of the actuating assembly (33) to the same extent as the first mode so that a user may release fuel and ignite the lighter (10) if a low-actuation-force is applied to the actuator.
