Abstract: A novel tree stand comprising a frame adapted to lie vertically along the trunk of a tree, having a sleeve attached at the top end to receive a seat; a sleeve attached at the bottom end to receive a footrest; a pair of wings rotatably attached to the frame; and a load-holding ratcheting tie strap which, when attached to both wings and tightened around the back of the tree, holds the wings back against the tree, thus bracing the frame so it does not swivel in place or move down the tree. The wings rotate backwards to fit any tree, and preferably have, upon the side that touches the tree, bumps, teeth or grooves that dig into the tree's surface to further ensure non-slippage. The frame preferably has one or more mounting plates for added stability, as well as, at various places: holes, hooks, handles or other holding means on either side for cable supports for a footrest. The invented tree stand can include as accessories a seat and footrest that are removable from the sleeves at the top and bottom ends, respectively, of the frame. The invented tree stand is multifunctional in that the footrest can function as a ladder stand for ease of entry into, and egress from, the stand. In one embodiment usable as a tree seat where the user's feet rest on the ground, the frame and wings are small, and there is no sleeve for a footrest.

Abstract: A soluble bioactive coloring concentrate can be prepared from the juice of cranberry and other fruits or vegetables by precipitatiing the material from juice or homogenate with soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone or soluble poly vinyl alcohol. The active materials which can be precipitated from a variety of plant materials and is a colored solid that is freely water-soluble. The materials produced from cranberry, blueberry, blackberry, grape or Aronia berry show significant antibacterial and antiviral properties. These compositions can be readily consumed as a therapeutic or nutraceutical, used as a coloring agent or it can be used topically. Tests on fresh human blood indicate that the soluble cranberry material can destroy bacteria and virus without appreciably damaging the blood constituents making them candidates as injectable antimicrobials.

Abstract: A circuit interrupter handle mechanism is disposed on the face of a molded case circuit breaker. The handle mechanism has a rotary handle, which may be  rotated through approximately 90~ of rotation from a disposition of circuit interrupter conduction to a disposition of circuit interrupter non-conductio n. The handle is not centered over the linear handle of the circuit interrupter  per say, but rather is disposed in the upper left hand corner, so that a larger lever arm can be utilized. Furthermore, the larger lever has a handle  opening into which the hasp of a lock may be placed to lock the circuit breaker in the open state for servicing and the like. Because of the length of the handle more hasps can be disposed therein than if the handle was dispose d exactly in the center of the circuit breaker case. Lastly, the disposition o f the circuit breaker rotary handle provides an indication of the conduction status of the molded case circuit breaker. If the handle is in a generally horizontal position, i.e., straight across the front of the circuit interrupter, that is an indication that the contacts of the circuit interrupter are open and that current therefore is blocked. If on the other hand the handle is 90~ displaced, in a rotational manner, to be parallel wit h the long longitudinal axis ofthe circuit interrupter, then an indication is given that the circuit interrupter contacts are closed and current is being conducted.

Patent CA-2397404-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JACOB JULES
IPC: A61K47/32
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: A process is provided for making dry, micronized particles of an agent, such as a drug. The method includes (a) dissolving a macromolecular material, preferably a polymer, in an effective amount of solvent, to form a solution; (b) dissolving or dispersing the agent in the solution to form a mixture; (c) freezing the mixture; and (d) drying by vacuum the mixture to form solid particles of the agent dispersed in solid macromolecular material. The micronization in this process occurs directly in a macro-molecular matrix and hardening of the particles of agent by solvent removal takes place by lyophilization of the bulk matrix, which stabilizes the drug particles during hardening and prevents coalescence, thereby resulting in a smaller final drug particles. The method is particularly preferred for protein agents. The process can be used in conjunction with a standard microencapsulation technique, typically following separation of the agent from the macromolecular matrix.  The process yields microparticles having a homoge-nous size distribution, preferably less than 2 µm, and more preferably less than 1 µm, in size. The microparticles have well defined, predictable properties, which is particularly critical in drug delivery applications.

Title: Method and device for the sequential supply of articles to be processed
Inventor: SEILER RICO
IPC: B65H39/06
Filed: 2002-08-16
Abstract: For allowing a reduction in the processing capacity to be accommodated without delay in a system, in which articles are supplied and transferred to an article processing device (8) from an article delivering device (4) in a regularly clock cycled supply stream, articles are not transferred to the article processing device when there is no processing capacity. Instead they are conveyed onwards along a return track (9) and are re-introduced into the supply stream at a return point (6) upstream of the transfer point (7). For each re-introduction of a returned article into the supply stream, a gap is produced in the supply stream in a gap formation point (5) upstream of the return point (6). For synchronizing returned articles and gaps, the length (in clock cycles) of the return track (9) is matched to the length (in clock cycles) of the supply track (3) from the gap formation point (5) to the return point (6) and to a time difference (in clock cycles) between a non-transfer and formation of a corresponding gap. The system is suitable in particular for supplying main products from a web-fed printing press to a stacking/packaging device where normal packages and peak packages are produced. The main products are completed prior to be stacked and packed. In this application it is possible to operate the article supply regularly clock cycled although no separate processing device for producing the peak packages is provided and although no completed products are to be removed from the system.
