Title: Apparatus and method for controlling a clothes dryer
Inventor: BEAULAC SEBASTIEN
IPC: D06F58/38
Filed: 2005-04-28
Abstract: A clothes dryer has a degree of dryness control system that is responsive to moisture level of clothing articles tumbling in a drum and a target moisture value to control the drying cycle of the clothes dryer. The clothes dryer has a load size parameter producing module and an air flow detection parameter module. These modules generate one of two parameter conditions used by the processor to modify or select an appropriate moisture target value. The load size producing parameter module generates one of a small load input parameter and a large load input parameter. The air flow detection module produces one of a first and second air flow parameter to be utilized by the degree of dryness processor. As a result, the processor selects one of four target moisture values from these conditions.

Title: Control system for a portable instant hot water heater
Inventor: LONG NORRIS RICHARD
IPC: F24H1/06
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: A portable instant water heater. Water is delivered to a base unit of the instant hot water heater by a pump that draws water from a reservoir through a flow control valve. The water flows into a pre-heater that wraps around a base of the burner and that is heated by the burner. Water is heated in a heat exchanger and then exits the base unit through an outlet spout that swings out from the base unit to dispense water and that may be stored and locked into position in a handle for the base unit. The flow control valve may lower the flow of water through the heat exchanger, so the water has more time to absorb heat and to get hotter. The base unit includes a single control knob that turns on the pump and the burner and operates the flow control valve.

Title: Methods for separation of polymeric compounds
Inventor: SLATER GARY W
IPC: C07K1/26
Filed: 2005-10-04
Abstract: Recently two techniques using free solution electrophoresis to separate charged-uncharged polymer conjugates have proven successful: End Labeled Free Solution Electrophoresis (ELFSE) for DNA sequencing, and Free Solution Conjugate Electrophoresis (FSCE) for molar mass profiling of uncharged polymers. Previous attempts have been made to analyze experimental data generated by these new techniques for the electrophoresis of molecules with varying charge distributions. However, the importance of the ends of the polymers in determining the polymer's overall mobility was neglected in previous work. Through a careful investigation and a reanalysis of the experimental data, it is determined here that this "end effect" critically impacts the behavior of polymers and charged-uncharged polymer conjugates during electrophoresis. In this way, the invention provides for methods that exploit this "end effect" for the separation of polymeric molecules on the basis of size, including for example DNA separation and sequencing techniques.
