Abstract: The invention is generally directed to methods of promoting normal respiratory tract airflow in subjects with restricted airflow and ciliary clearance caused by the presence of pathological airway contents, and particularly mucoid contents. Actin-binding proteins are administered into the respiratory tract of a subject with a pathological respiratory condition involving the presence of such contents. The actin-binding protein binds to actin polymers in the contents and decreases the viscosity. The actin binding proteins also prevent actin from binding to exogenous or endogenous DNase, thus increasing the degradation of DNA polymers in the contents.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de relais statique de surcharge conçu de façon à minimiser la force requise pour ouvrir le contact électrique qui lui est associé dans le cas où se produit un courant de surcharge dans un circuit protégé, et conçu également pour surmonter le magnétisme résiduel à l'intérieur d'un électro-aimant à l'origine de l'ouverture du contact. Le contact est assuré par une paire de contacts fixes maintenus par un socle et une paire de contacts mobiles placés sur un support de contacts. Un verrou définit une encoche où s'engage normalement un levier. Dans ces conditions, le support de contacts se trouve dans une position telle que les contacts mobiles sont en contact avec les contacts fixes. Lorsque le levier n'est plus engagé dans le verrou, le support de contacts est déplacé, ce qui rompt le contact entre les contacts fixes et les contacts mobiles. Le verrou est associé à un contrepoids qui sert à minimiser la force requise pour ramener le verrou dans sa position initiale après le déclenchement du mécanisme. Un bras de verrou fait saillie, à l'opposé du verrou, dans la trajectoire du levier de telle sorte que, lorsque le levier parcourt jusqu'à son point maximum un trajet en forme d'arc, il imprime au verrou un mouvement qui le ramène à sa position initiale, si le verrou n'y est pas déjà retourné. Un boîtier auxiliaire de contacts fixes assure le maintien d'une paire auxiliaire de contacts fixes qui peuvent être installés sélectivement soit en position normale fermée, soit en position normale ouverte.

Abstract: A mixture of hydrogen and air is introduced onto the face of the catalytic monolith of a catalytic converter in the exhaust line of a cold internal combustion engine. The hydrogen spontaneously combusts, thereby pre-heating the catalytic converter. Pre-heating the catalytic converter significantly improves the effectiveness of the catalytic converter in eliminating undesirable emissions of the internal combustion engine. The hydrogen is preferably produced on-board the vehicle using the system. The hydrogen source may also be coupled to the internal combustion engine to be burned by the engine during startup in the absence of gasoline to minimize the production of unacceptable emissions while the catalyst is brought up to light-off temperature.
