Title: Transferring bingham solid through a conduit
Inventor: COURSEN DAVID LINN
IPC: F17D1/08
Filed: 1983-05-04
Granted: 1987-09-10
Abstract: An apparatus for injecting a lubricating liquid, e.g., water, into a conduit as an annular layer around a flowing Bingham solid, e.g., a water gel or water-in-oil emulsion explosive, to facilitate the flow of the Bingham solid has an annular passageway from which the lubricating liquid flows into a cylindrical chamber containing the flowing Bingham solid. The annular passageway has a constricted throat portion of adjustable width, which, along with the flow rates of the Bingham solid and the lubricating liquid, is adjusted to produce a thin film of lubricant which allows lubricated plug flow of the Bingham solid in a descending section of conduit under the propelling force of gravity alone. Low drag permits the delivery of Bingham solid explosives into very deep vertical holes with no increase in the required pumping pressure.

Title: Conotoxin Peptide PVIIA
Inventor: TERLAU HEINRICH
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1997-03-14
Granted: 2000-09-21
Abstract: A new peptide,  kappa -conotoxin PVIIA, is disclosed. This peptide is found naturally in the cone snail Conus purpurascens and has the amino acid sequence Cys-Arg-Ile-Xaa-Asn-Gln-Lys-Cys-Phe-Gln-His-Leu-Asp-Asp-Cys-Cys-Ser-Arg-Lys-Cys-Asn-Arg-Phe-Asn-Lys-Cys-Val (SEQ ID NO:1) where Xaa represents 4-trans-hydroxyproline hydroxyproline or proline. This peptide together with a previously disclosed peptide,  delta -conotoxin PVIA, act synergistically to rapidly immobilize fish which are injected with the two peptides. Injection of  kappa -conotoxin PVIIA alone results in different symptoms with an injected fish becoming hyperactive and then contracting and suddenly extending all major fins. This "fin-popping" occurs repeatedly resulting in a series of jerky movements, but injection of only  kappa -conotoxin PVIIA does not immobilize or kill the fish.

Title: Supercritical water oxidation process and apparatus of organics with inorganics
Inventor: MODELL MICHAEL
IPC: G21F9/06
Filed: 1992-06-23
Granted: 1995-02-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for oxidation of aqueous mixtures of organic material, including toxic material in the presence of inorganic materials, by reaction of said material with water and oxygen at supercritical conditions. Oxygen and the aqueous mixture are separately pressurized to greater than about 218 atmospheres, combined to form a reaction mixture and then directed through a tubular reactor having a substantially constant internal diameter. The velocity of the reaction mixture is sufficient to prevent settling of a substantial portion of solids initially present in the reaction mixture and of solids which form during passage through the reactor. The mixture is heated to temperature above about 374° C. in the tubular reactor. A substantial portion of the organic material in the reaction mixture is oxidized in the tubular reactor to thereby form an effluent mixture. Inorganic salts in the effluenet mixture, which are insoluble at conditions of supercritical temperature and pressure for water, are dissolved in a liquid water phase during cooldown of the effluent mixture at an outlet end of the reactor. Inorganic solids that are not soluble in the effluent mixture can be separated from a substantial portion of the effluent mixture by filtration prior to subsequent depressurization of the effluent mixture.

Title: HF stripline resonator
Inventor: GAPSKI DIETMAR
IPC: H01P7/08
Filed: 1995-08-23
Granted: 1998-01-08
Abstract: In order to compensate for changes in the resonant frequency of the resonator arising from variations in the distance between the reference distance (dS) and an actual distance (dS+/- DELTA dS) in HF stripline resonators with a stripline (10) arranged at a reference distance (dS) from a metal conductor (11), the stripline (10) is curved. The curvature induces eddy currents in the conductor (11) which reduce the inductance of the HF stripline resonator. The shorter/longer the distance between the stripline and the metal conductor, the smaller/greater the inductance. As the shortening/lengthening of the distance between two conductors also increases/reduces the capacitance of the HF stripline, however, with the appropriate dimensions of the curved stripline, the two effects cancel each other out and the frequency of the HF stripline resonator is virtually stable with the aforementioned distance variations. The two effects cancel each other out and the frequency of the HF stripline resonator is virtually stable with the aforementioned distance variations.
