Title: Automatic choke apparatus for carburetor
Inventor: ARAI TETSUYA
IPC: F02M1/04
Filed: 2011-11-17
Abstract: An automatic choke apparatus for a carburetor includes an electric actuator, a choke valve opening/closing mechanism configured to open and close a choke valve by being driven by a power exerted by the electric actuator, and a controller configured to control operation of the electric actuator. The controller, to which a battery supplies electric power, operates the electric actuator and the choke valve opening/closing mechanism in order that, when the engine is stopped, the choke valve is set in a semi-opened position and, when the engine starts to be cranked, the choke valve is set in a fully-closed position. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the choke valve from freezing up in the fully-closed state in a case where the engine is stopped under an extremely low temperature environment.

Abstract: A new method to influence or control the placement of telecommunication antennas under federal jurisdiction using a municipal antenna business licence is described.  Administrative land authorities including municipal, district, city, village, unincorporated and incorporated entities currently have little or no rights in the placement of telecommunication antennas within their boundaries. As the growth of certain types of antennas such as cellular antennas becomes more intrusive, municipalities are becoming more concerned about the look, aesthetics, placement, health, permitting, safety and the general intrusion of antennas in their communities.  Municipalities have found that the have very little control over these concerns as they are federally mandated. Described is a new method of using a local municipal antenna business licence to control the use of properties by landowners within their jurisdiction for the erection of telecommunication antennas.

Title: Identification of antigenic peptides from multiple myeloma cells
Inventor: CAI ZELING
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 2010-09-20
Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal B cell malignancy and remains essentially incurable by conventional anti-tumor therapy. Patients with MM have a median survival of only three years. MM is characterized by proliferation and accumulation of mature plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM) leading to bone destruction, BM failure, anemia, and reduced immune function. The identification of MHC Class I, HLA-A2, associated peptides presented on multiple myeloma cells is an important step in developing immunotherapies for MM. Presented here are methods for creating activated T lymphocytes that are cytotoxic to both peptide loaded T2 target cells and multiple myeloma cell lines.

Abstract: An agent based system assists in preparing an individual for an upcoming meeting by helping him/her retrieve relevant information about the meeting from various sources based on pre-existing information in the system. The system obtains input text in character form indicative of the target meeting from a calendar program that includes the time of the meeting. As the time of the meeting approaches, the calendar program is queried to obtain the text of the target event and that information is utilized as input to the agent system. Then, the agent system parses the input meeting text to extract its various components such as title, body, participants, location, time etc. The system also performs pattern matching to identify particular meeting fields to a meeting text. This information is utilized to query various sources of information on the web and obtain relevant stories about the current meeting to send back to the calendaring system. For example, if an individual has a meeting with Netscape and Microsoft to talk about their disputes, the system obtains this initial information from the calendaring system. It will then parse out the text to realize that the companies in the meeting are "Netscape" and "Microsoft" and the topic is "disputes". It will then surf the web for relevant information concerning this topic. Thus, in accordance with an objective of the invention, the system updates the calendaring system and eventually the user with the best information it can gather to prepare for the target meeting. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the information is stored in a file that is obtained via selection from a link imbedded in the calendar system.

Abstract: A tension tubing anchor for anchoring well equipment in a well conduit to arrest movement in both longitudinal and rotational directions. Having a mandrel connected to the equipment having L-shaped grooves for slideably receiving respective drive pins from a drag body located on the mandrel. A slip cage located on the mandrel houses slips for selectively engaging and disengaging the well conduit. An upward pull of the mandrel moves a first conical surface of a cone element fixed to the mandrel, and also moves the slip cage, the drag body having a second conical surface such that the conical surfaces face each other and book-end the inner surface of the slips. The pull brings the conical surfaces together driving the slips outward to grip the well conduit. The anchor is unset by pushing the mandrel down to disengage the slips. Alternate unsetting requires increased pull beyond the shear resistance of shear screws or pins connecting the cone element to the mandrel.
