Title: Method and system for layerwise production of a tangible object
Inventor: MAALDERINK HERMAN HENDRIKUS
IPC: B29C67/00
Filed: 2009-02-13
Abstract: A method for layerwise production of a tangible object comprises repeatedly performing method cycles. Each method cycle comprises the steps of solidifying a predetermined area of an uppermost liquid layer (10) of a liquid (3) in a reservoir (2), so as to obtain a solid layer of the tangible object, and creating, above, parallel and adjacent to the solid layer, a successive uppermost liquid layer of the liquid. Said creating of the successive liquid layer is carried out by spraying such liquid onto upper parts of the contents in the reservoir. A height distribution over at least part of the surface of the uppermost liquid layer is measured by means of a measuring device (6). Based on the measured height distribution, the solidifying is carried out to compensate for unflatness of the measured height distribution.

Abstract: A lighting ballast (10) includes an inverter portion (12) and a resonant portion (14). During a preheat phase, a fila-ment transformer (110) supplies preheat glow currents to lamp cathodes. Also during the preheat phase, the filament transformer boosts the oscillation frequency of the inverter portion (12) to a frequency above a resonant frequency of the resonant portion (14). Once the lamp cathodes are sufficiently heated, the filament transformer (110) is removed from the circuit and the inverter (12) is allowed to start oscillating. A feedback network (150) monitors a high frequency bus (26) and provides input to a shunt regulator (170). The shunt regulator drives the gate of a switch (128) of a bias network (126) and adds or removes the filament transformer (110) to the circuit depending on the conductive state of the switch (128).

Title: Modulation of gene expression through endogenous small rna targeting of gene promoters
Inventor: COREY DAVID R
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 2009-06-03
Abstract: Gene expression can be selectively regulated by endogenous miRNAs that target promoters of genes. Altering of the activity of these promoter-targeting miRNAs with single- stranded complementary oligonucleotides that bind the miRNA causes modulation of expression of the target gene. Endogenous miRNAs that modulate expression of target genes can be identified by (a) evaluating an endogenous miRNA for complementarity to a target gene promoter; and (b) determining that the complementary miRNA modulates expression of the target gene.

Title: Apparatus to increase fluid velocity in a fluid turbine
Inventor: CHURCHILL FREDERICK
IPC: F03D13/20
Filed: 2009-06-05
Abstract: A fluid turbine apparatus which is able to increase the fluid velocity and consequently increase the rotation speed of the fluid turbine. The fluid turbine appa-ratus has a convergent section, a fluid turbine section and a divergent section. The fluid enters into the fluid turbine through the convergent section, passes through the fluid turbine and exits through the divergent section. The com-bination of the convergent section and the divergent sec-tion creates a Venturi effect and increases the fluid veloci-ty and thus the energy density entering turbine for in-creasing the energy extracted by the turbine.

Abstract: 1. The prime object of the P.L.R.U. seat is to allow the seat to remain level and the operator upright, when traversing a side hill, slope or valley.     2. A problem exists with prior art seats available today, as the seat tips sideways with the vehicle, making it difficult to remain on the seat without hanging on to the fender or bracing with the feet.     3. By using a self locking sleeve bearing to hang the seat in a pendulum fashion, allows the seat to remain level, and thereby a more comfortable and safe condition, with hands and feet free to operate the controls.     4. Incorporating a lift and lowering device allows mounting the seat on a wide variety of both new and old vehicles. No other prior art seat has taken this universal approach for replacement seats.
