Title: PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING NO x? FROM EXHAUST GASES USING CYANURIC ACID--------------------------------------------------.
Inventor: SLONE RALPH J
IPC: F02B3/06
Filed: 1992-08-26
Abstract: A process and apparatus are disclosed in which cyanuric acid is utilized to remove nitrogen oxides (or ''NOx'') from exhaust gases or the like. In one embodiemnt, particles of cyanuric acid (14) are contacted with the exhaust gas under conditions in which the cyanuric acid decomposes and the NOx is reduced. A venturi (24) is utilized to controllably convey the particles of cyanuric acid into the exhaust gas (38). Supplemental fuel such as diesel or other fuels may be added to control reaction conditions such as temperature. In other embodiments, a liquid cyanuric acid slurry is formed, with the liquid comprising diesel fuel, water or other suitable liquid. The liquid cyanuric acid slurry may be heated and/or catalyzed prior to contact with the exhaust gas. In certain embodiments, the liquid-cyanuric acid slurry is heated and/or catalyzed in a manner so as to produce decomposition products including reactive species such as free radicals, which are subsequently contacted with the exhaust gas.

Date Jun. 24, 1993.A device for screwing-in and setting self-drilling blind rivets in a structure, has a clamping unit with two clamping jaws for holding a spindle of a rivet inserted therebetween. The jaws are guided in complementary grooves provided in a retaining unit which is installed in a tubular housing. A cover cap is inserted in the housing for limiting a displacement path of the retaining unit and the clamping jaws in a direction of a central axis of the retaining unit. A shaft to be connected to a driving unit for driving the screwing-in and setting device is inserted in the retaining unit. The shaft acts on a spring-loaded support having radially protruding bolts slidable in longitudinal slits provided in the housing. A displacement path of the retaining unit in the direction towards a free end of the housing is longer than that of the clamping laws.

Title: Purifying apparatus.
Inventor: ABE KENSAKU
IPC: C02F3/06
Filed: 1993-05-12
Abstract: An apparatus for purifying waste water in a lake, pond, dam, river and the like by use of microorganisms carried on charcoal. A plurality of water collecting pipes (4) formed therein with a plurality of water holes (5) are provided on the bottom portion (1a) of the pond or the like covered thereover with non-water permeable members (2). Charcoal (12) carrying thereon microorganisms is spread all over the water collecting pipes (4) to thereby form a treatment layer (13). A gravel layer (15) is formed on the treatment layer (13). A storage tank (18) is provided, which has a pump (29) connected thereto with a reflux pipe (31) communicating with the upper portion of the pond (1). Water (1b) to be treated which is disposed on the bottom portion (1a) is collected through the treatment layer (13) from the water holes (5) by use of the pump (29), and discharged in the vicinity of the water surface through the water collecting pipes (4) and the reflux pipe (31). When duckweeds are generated in the vicinity of the water surface, the water (1b) to be treated in the upper portion of the water surface is discharged to the treatment layer (13) through the water holes (5) of the water collecting pipes (4) by use of the pump (29). When the water (1b) to be treated passes through the treatment layer (13), the duckweeds and the organic substances are decomposed by the microorganisms carried satisfactorily on inexpensive charcoal (12). A non-uniformity in concentration of the dissolved oxygen within the whole pond or the like is reduced, so that the purifying treatment can be effectively achieved.

Title: ANIMAL 2-5A-DEPENDENT RNases AND ENCODING SEQUENCES THEREFOR.
Inventor: SILVERMAN ROBERT H
IPC: C12N9/22
Filed: 1994-03-03
Abstract: Isolated 2-5A-dependent RNases, an interferon-induced enzyme which is activated by 5'-phosphorylated, 2',5'-linked oligoadenylates (2-5A) and implicated in both the molecular mechanisms of interferon action and in the fundamental control of RNA stability in mammalian cells (see Figs. 1 and 11), and encoding sequences therefor (see Figs. 3, 4, 9 and 10) are disclosed. The expression cloning and analysis of murine and human 2-5A-dependent RNases are also disclosed. Recombinant human 2-5A-dependent RNase produced in vitro and bound an activating affinity matrix, 2-5A-cellulose, have ribonuclease activity. The 2-5A binding properties of the recombinant and naturally occuring forms of 2-5A-dependent RNase are basically identical. Interferon induction of 2-5A-dependent RNase expression is demonstrated by measuring the mRNA levels in cells treated with interferon and cycloheximide. Analysis of aligned murine and human 2-5A-dependent RNase sequences revealed several features, including similarity to RNase E which is implicated in the control of mRNA stability in E. coli.

Abstract: A polyaxial colletted locking mechanism for use with orthopedic apparatus includes a screw (170), hook (190), or other orthopedic implant element having a curvate head (172, 192), and a coupling element (100a). The coupling element (100a) has a tapered and colletted portion (102a) having an interior chamber (116a) in which the curvate head (172, 192) is initially polyaxially disposed. A locking collar (160) is disposed around the tapered and colletted portion (102a) such that translation thereof in the direction of the expanding taper causes the interior volume (116a) to contract onto the curvate head (172, 192) and lock it therein. The coupling element generally also includes a rod receiving recess (122a) in either the side or top thereof for receiving a rod of the total implant apparatus. The locking collar (160) may be caused to translate into its locking position by a mutual threading on the tapered portion and the collar, or by pressure applied to it by a separate element (150) which locks the rod in the channel.

Title: Inhibitors of gap junction communication
Inventor: BOGER DALE L
IPC: C07C327/32
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: Oleamide is an endogenous fatty acid primary amide that possesses sleep-inducing properties in animals and has been shown to effect seratonergic systems and block gap junction communication in a structurally specific manner. Certain agents can serve both as an oleamide agonist and as an inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase. Fatty acid amide hydrolase is responsible for the rapid inactivation of oleamide in vivo. The structural features of oleamide required for inhibition of gap junction-mediated chemical and electrical transmission in rat glial cells are defined. Effective inhibitors fall into two classes of fatty acid primary amides of which oleamide and arachidonamide are the prototypical members. Of these two, oleamide constitutes the most effective and its structural requirements for inhibition of the gap junction are well defined. It requires a chain length of 16-24 carbons of which 16-18 carbons appears optimal, a polarized terminal carbonyl group capable of accepting but not necessarily donating a hydrogen bond, a  DELTA 9 cis double bond, and a hydrophobic methyl terminus. Within these constraints, a range of modifications are possible, many of which may with enhanced in vivo properties.

Patent EP-1092105-A4 (EP)
Title: Automatic drain valve
Inventor: CORNWELL JAMES P
IPC: F16K51/00
Filed: 1999-06-28
Abstract: A drain valve removes liquid from a compressed air system whenever cycling pressure of the system reaches either a preselected high drain pressure or a preselected low drain pressure at an inlet port of the valve. An inlet face of a piston of an adjustable pressure valve assembly within a valve body normally seals the inlet port when there is no pressure. The piston is located within a portion of a central cavity of the valve. The piston's inlet face is of a size which allows the force of the adjustable pressure valve assembly to be overcome by a pre-selected high drain pressure at the inlet port. The area of a vent face on the other side of the piston has a size which, when the vent face is sealing the vent passageway, prevents the force exerted by the adjustable pressure valve assembly from overcoming the pressure of the compressed air system until a pre-selected low drain pressure is reached at the inlet port. In either case, the relative sizes of an opening between an inlet cavity and a vent cavity within which the piston is mounted and a vent orifice, and the area of a dividing member mounted across the piston between the inlet cavity and the vent cavity, allow liquid to be drained by the drain valve until such time as all liquid has been removed and compressed air fills the valve.
