Title: Disposable garment and related manufacturing equipment and methods
Inventor: RAJALA GREGORY JOHN
IPC: A41B9/00
Filed: 1995-09-25
Granted: 2005-12-06
Abstract: This invention pertains to a three dimensional disposable garment, subassemblies of the garment, and apparatus and methods for making the garment and subassemblies. The garment is designed to hold a primary absorbent sanitary pad. The garment may have elasticized leg and waist openings and be stretchable about the hip and stomach regions of a user. The garment provides backup protection to control egress of fluids that leak or seep around or through the primary sanitary pad.      The garment includes a secondary absorbent positioned in the crotch area and extending into the body of the disposable garment, front and back, and preferably over the leg elastics to trap, inside the garment, leakage from the primary absorbent, and to prevent strike through onto e.g. outer clothing and bed linen. The apparatus and methods facilitate assembling leg elastics and crotch elastics into the garment subassemblies while assembling a series of garment subassemblies in a continuous web structure at a constant, or relatively constant, continuous and efficient speed.

Title: Adenovirus vectors for gene therapy
Inventor: WILSON JAMES M
IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 1994-06-06
Granted: 1999-10-05
Abstract: The present invention comprises an improved adenovirus vector and methods for making and using such vectors. The adenovirus vectors of the present invention retain at least a portion of the adenoviral E3 region, carry a deletion of at least a portion of the adenoviral E1 region. Vectors of the present invention preferably also include an additional deletion to accommodate a transgene and/or other mutations which result in reduced expression or over-expression of adenoviral protein and/or reduced viral replication. The vectors of the present invention further include a transgene operatively-linked thereto. By reducing or eliminating viral replication and viral protein expression, the immune response of the infected host to the virus and viral protein is decreased and persistance of transgene expression can be increased. The adenovirus vectors of the present invention are thus particularly useful in gene transfer and therapy.

Title: Distributed differential mixing combined power system
Inventor: YANG TAI-HER
IPC: B60W20/10
Filed: 1996-05-13
Granted: 2006-04-11
Abstract: A drive side power unit, which may include the rotational output shaft of an internal combustion engine, drives a front section load, and is also coupled to a differential drive device made up of an electrical machine and a rear differential gear box. The electrical machine is coupled, via a transmission gear, to two differential output shafts and an input shaft, while the two wheel shafts of the differential gears are respectively coupled with a transmission middle shaft driven by the drive side rotational power unit and with the input shaft of the rear differential gear box through a clutch so as to drive a rear section load. Alternatively, the three end shaft differential gear system can be replaced by a planetary gear train and the transmission gear can be replaced by a friction wheel. A brake installed between the rotor and stator of the electrical machine can be controlled to generate motor driving functions when an input current is applied or to generate variable speed coupling functions through an output current when the electrical machine is employed as a generator. The engine can be operated at constant speed or at a partially adjustable speed to maximize engine efficiency and reduce pollution, with one part of the differential speed output power generated throughout the differential mixing drive device being used for driving the load while the remainder of the power is converted through the generator function of the electrical machine to charge the battery and thereby increase energy efficiency.

IPC: F02B75/02
Filed: 1996-07-04
Granted: 1999-09-14
Abstract: A single cylinder, internal combustion engine with a dry sump lubrication system.  The engine includes an engine housing in which the overhead camshaft (40) and crankshaft (42) are rotatably supported, and the housing includes an integrally formed cylinder (22) and head (24).  A timing belt (105) disposed externally of the engine housing interconnects the crankshaft and camshaft, and a piston (46) connected to the crankshaft reciprocates within an internal bore provided in the engine housing cylinder.  The cylinder wall (48) around the internal bore is of a generally uniform thickness and circumscribed by cooling fins such that the cylinder resists bore distortion during operation.  Dry sump lubrication is obtained by an external oil reservoir (135) connected to a pump (161) which supplies pressurized oil to the bearing journals of the camshaft.  The reciprocating motion of the valve assemblies (67, 68) controlling intake and exhaust of the combustion chamber pumps the oil which lubricated the camshaft back to the external reservoir. The reciprocating motion of the piston similarly effects a high pressure within the crankcase cavity to pump oil which has lubricated the crankshaft back to the external reservoir.

Abstract: A ribbon array switch in which an input ribbon array comprising a plurality of input optical fibers can be selectively switched to any one of a plurality of output ribbon arrays mounted on an outer periphery of a switch housing. Preferably, a stepper motor is used to rotate the input ribbon array along the outer periphery of the switch housing, the result being that the input optical fibers will be optically connected to corresponding output optical fibers that make up the output ribbon arrays. In another aspect, the invention features an optical switch architecture including a first stage comprising a fiber switch element and second stage comprising a ribbon array switch element described above. The output optical fibers of the fiber switch element make up the input ribbon array of the ribbon array switch element. The architecture switches an input optical fiber to any one of a plurality of output optical fibers by optically connecting the input optical fiber of the fiber switch element to a selected one of the output optical fibers of the fiber switch element and aligning the input ribbon array of the ribbon array switch element with a selected one of a plurality of output ribbon arrays of the ribbonarray switch element. Each of the output ribbon arrays comprises a predeterminednumber of output optical fibers. The result is that the output optical fibers of the fiber switch element will be optically connected to corresponding ones of the predetermined number of output optical fibers of the ribbon switch element, and thus the input optical fiber will be optically connected to a desired output optical fiber.
