Title: Acoustic mechanical retainer
Inventor: SANICKI SCOTT
IPC: F02C7/045
Filed: 2006-02-15
Abstract: A fan case assembly includes a noise attenuation layer that is covered by a face sheet. The face sheet includes a first plurality of openings. The noise attenuation layer includes a plurality of individual cells that are in communication with at least one of the first plurality of openings. Noise energy is communicated through the first plurality of openings into the individual cells and dissipated to reduce noise emissions. A seam in the face sheet is covered to protect the underlying noise attenuation layer from damage by a retainer. The retainer is bonded to the face sheet over the seam and includes a second plurality of holes that communicates noise energy through the retainer to the noise attenuation layer. Communication of noise energy through the retainer provides an acoustically active seam that aids in the dissipation of noise energy and thereby reduces the level of sound emitted from the engine.

IPC: G01N27/403
Filed: 2004-09-17
Abstract: A time varying electrical excitation(s) is applied to a system containing biologic and/or non-biologic elements, whereupon the time-varying electrochemical or electrical response is detected and analyzed. For biologic specimens, the presence, activity, concentration or relative quantity, and certain inherent characteristics of certain target substances (hereinafter referred to as "target analytes") within, or comprising, the specimen of interest may be determined by measuring either the current response induced by a voltage-mode excitation, or the voltage response induced by a current-mode excitation. Labeling or marker techniques may be employed, whereby electrochemically active auxiliary molecules are attached to the substance to be analyzed, in order to facilitate or enhance the electrochemical or electrical response. The method may also be employed to test non-biologic systems comprising an electrochemical cell or a battery of cells, wherein complex pulse type excitation signals are applied to the cell and the resultant time varying polarization voltage information is extracted and analyzed to determine at least one characteristic of the cell(s) condition or state.

Filed: 2004-11-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a viewing screen (1) comprising a plate or film-like base material whose surface consists of adjacent concave or convex mirrors having the same size with the same mirror curvatures. The micromirrors of the micromirror-surface-structure (2) preferably have an elliptical contour (4) or an elongated hexagonal contour (5). The micromirrors are arranged on the surface of the viewing screen in a predetermined raster (3) with a honeycomb-shaped structure in such a way that its long half-axis is oriented vertically.  The projected light (6) is reflected in the form of an elliptical (7) or almost elliptical light cone (8) by means of the different curvatures of the micromirrors in horizontal and vertical direction. The micromirrors are spatially oriented in such a way that their optical axis intersect in a defined intersection point (18) on the viewing screen normal (26), resulting in a spatial overlapping zone (17) of all light cones reflected by the micromirrors, in which the reflected image can be seen. Little or no light is reflected in the loss areas (19) outside said overlapping zone (17).

Title: Human soluble neuropilin-1 primary polyadenylation signal and uses thereof
Inventor: APPUKUTTAN BINOY
IPC: C07H21/04
Filed: 2005-01-28
Abstract: The human soluble neuropilin-1 (sNRP) polyadenylation signal (sNRP-poly(A)), situated downstream of the GT splice donor site of intron 12 of the full-length neuropilin-1 gene, also functions as the termination codon for sNRP.  This 17 nucleotide sequence efficiently facilitates addition of poly(A) tails to RNAs expresses in cells. The present invention shows that this optimally succinct sequence has similar activity to the SV40 polyadenylation signal that is currently used in expression vectors. By using this shorter dual termination/polyadenylation signal and avoiding the need for large and cumbersome polyadenylation signals, expression vectors may be engineered to carry considerably larger genes.
