Title: Emissivity probe
Inventor: YOUSSEF SIMON F
IPC: G01J1/16
Filed: 2003-08-13
Granted: 2006-11-09
Abstract: An emissivity probe (12) for measuring reflected energy from interior wall surfaces of large scale boilers. The emissivity probe uses a pair of light guides (36,38) which respectively receive light energy from the interior of the boiler and that reflected off a wall surface. Using appropriate photo detectors sensitive to a desired light wavelength range, a ratio of the reflected and incident radiation is provided. This provides a measure of the reflectivity of the wall surface. The reflectivity values are used to control boiler cleaning systems. <IMAGE>

Title: Concurrent chemotherapy and immunotherapy
Inventor: SAMPSON JOHN H
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2006-11-02
Granted: 2012-10-04
Abstract: The concurrent administration of chemotherapy and immunotherapy has been considered a contraindication because of the concern that the induced lymphopenia would ablate therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy. Temozolomide has been shown to be an effective chemotherapeutic for patients with malignant gliomas and to deprive patients with glioblastoma (GBM) patients of this agent in order to treat with immunotherapy is controversial. Despite conventional dogma, we demonstrate that both chemotherapy and immunotherapy can be delivered concurrently without negating the effects of immunotherapy, hi fact, the temozolomide induced lymphopenia may actually be synergistic with a peptide vaccine.

Title: Enclosed shaft system for marine propulsion
Inventor: STOLPER PETER R
IPC: B63H23/34
Filed: 2007-10-04
Granted: 2013-05-16
Abstract: The system is an enclosed, oil filled, shaft and thrust bearing assembly which includes an oil pump to circulate the oil throughout the system. The thrust bearing assembly allows the thrust to be directed to the shafts mounting system rather than through the vessels main propulsion engines and isolators thereby reducing vibration and noise emissions. In addition the elimination of thrust loading transmitted directly to the propulsion engines reduces wear and tear on the engine mounts, isolators and engine support structures. The non rotating casing of the shaft assembly allows clean water to flow to the propeller which allows more delivered horsepower to be used by the propeller.
