Abstract: An expandable bifurcated stent comprising a proximal end and a distal end in communication with one another. The proximal end comprises a primary passageway and the distal end comprises a pair of secondary passageways. The stent is expandable from a first, contracted position to a second, expanded position upon the application of a radially outward force exerted on the stent. Each of the primary passageway and the secondary passageway being constructed of a tubular wall having a porous surface, a method for production of a bifurcated stent is also described. The method comprises the step of connecting a first stent section to a second stent section, the first stent section having an end thereof adapted for connection to an opening disposed along the length of a second stent section.

Abstract: A collapsible plastics rule comprises jointed individual bars (1) made from two or more plastics components (A, B) of different hardness and/or elasticity. The softer and/or more elastic material (A) partially or completely surrounds the harder and/or less elastic material (b) which also forms raised areas extending up towards the broad surface of the rule. Also claimed is the production of the rule, in which the softer material component (A) is injected between the projections on the inner walls of opposing faces. A moveable slide between the tool projections is moved away leaving a hollow cavity into which the harder material (B) is injected. The tool halves are immediately separated to retract the projections and further pressure is applied to the harder material (B) to force the latter either completely or partially into the spaces (2) vacated by the projections.

Abstract: An improved self-contained frying machine is disclosed and claimed with significantly enhanced reliability, repeatability and maintenance. The extruder and dibber assemblies are not attached to any surface plates, thus permitting easy removal for cleaning. More significantly, the extruder assemblies are not connected to an upper shelf, thereby alleviating misalignment concerns. Efficient motor-driven rack and gear components are disclosed for the extruder assembly, dibber assembly, slide assembly and the carousel assembly. The electrical system comprises a programmable logic controller (PLC) that is preferably mounted in a housing that is external to the machine, preferably resting on the top of the frying machine. The mounting of the PLC and other electrical components in an external box diminishes the interference from background noise introduced by the various motors. Various sensors positioned on the different assemblies provide real-time information to the PLC. Based upon the information from the sensors, the PLC commands the various devices to perform their predetermined functions.

Abstract: Large gas turbine blades (10) made from separate cast segments (12, 14. 16, 18) of superalloys are disclosed. The turbine blade is designed such that bond lines between adjacent segments are placed in low stress regions of the blade. The cast superalloy segments of the blades are aligned and fitted together with specified tolerances. The turbine blade segments are then joined by transient liquid phase bonding, followed by a controlled heat treatment which produces the desired microstructure in the bond region. The method allows for the production of large, high quality turbine blades (10) by joining small, high quality cast superalloy sections (12, 14, 16, 18), in comparison with prior attempts to cast large turbine blades as single pieces which have produced very low yields and high individual component costs.

Abstract: A family of fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) mediate transport of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) across cell membranes into cells. These proteins exhibit different expression patterns among the organs of mammals. Nucleic acids encoding FATPs of this family, vectors comprising these nucleic acids, as well as the production of FATP proteins in host cells are described. Also described are methods to test FATPs for fatty acid transport function, and methods to identify inhibitors or enhancers of transport function. The altering of LCFA uptake by administering to the mammal an inhibitor or enhancer of FATP transport function of a FATP in the small intestine can decrease or increase calories available as fats, and can decrease or increase circulating fatty acids. The organ specificity of FATP distribution can be exploited in methods to direct drugs, diagnostic indicators and so forth to an organ such as the heart.
