Title: Method and apparatus for cleaning a furnace burner
Inventor: PATRICK DOUG
IPC: F23J1/06
Filed: 2005-11-04
Granted: 2010-02-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a furnace burner scraper that cleans a buildup of debris on the wall of a furnace in the vicinity of the furnace burner, and optionally the exterior wall of the furnace burner, without manual intervention and without shutting off the furnace burner. The furnace burner scraper intermittently lunges forward to scrape debris from the furnace wall about the discharge outlet of the firing tube, then retracts from the furnace interior so that the scraper head does not melt. The invention thus allows the furnace burner to operate for long periods of time without interrupting production.

Abstract: A top closure obturating panel (2) of a carton is formed with a partial depth cut (4) in the form of an open loop of which one end (4a) is at a greater distance from a central zone of the loop (4) than is the other end (4b). Following filling and top-sealing of the carton, there is applied to the panel (2) a pour spout fitment consisting of a flanged pour spout, a screw cap on the pour spout, and a plunger co-operating with the screw cap and the pour spout in such manner that, upon unscrewing of the screw cap, the plunger screws inwards. At its inner end, the plunger is formed with arcuate pushing blades (6), which thereby cause the laminate material of the panel (2) to fracture along the partial depth cut (4) such that an encircling portion (2a) of the panel (2) and an encircled portion (2b) within the loop (4) separate from each other along the loop (4), but remain interconnected by way of an intermediate portion (2c) extending through between the ends (4a) and (4b) of the loop (4).

Title: Step down product accumulation system
Inventor: DIBIANCA VINCENT
IPC: B65G47/12
Filed: 2005-06-17
Granted: 2010-06-08
Abstract: A step down product conveying and accumulation system (50) employs one or more conveyors (52, 54) with a product path section, on which products are conveyed, and an accumulator section (66), for accumulation of products for recirculation and eventual delivery to a downstream destination. A length of the product path section is located within a first transverse plane. The accumulator section is located within a second transverse plane, in spaced apart relation with the product path section. A transfer surface (30) in the form of a slide plate, air slide plenum system, or other low resistance or frictionless surface is employed as the transfer medium. Rather than transporting products, which are not properly aligned or which are unstable, for immediate delivery downstream, or for accumulation such that they reach the turbulence point which may cause system disruption, such products are transferred for accumulation by traveling smoothly and efficiently from the product path section downwardly on the transfer surface, onto the accumulator section. From there, the products are recirculated and properly aligned for ultimate, unencumbered downstream delivery.

Title: Coumarin-based cyanine dyes for non-specific protein binding
Inventor: BERKELMAN THOMAS R
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2005-12-08
Granted: 2012-07-24
Abstract: Protein dyes whose molecular structure is that of a coumarin moiety coupled to a quaternary ammonium heterocycle through a vinyl or polyvinyl linkage demonstrate the ability to associate with proteins in a non-covalent, non-specific manner at low pH, where the associated form displays a significantly higher fluorescence emission than the unassociated form. This makes the dyes useful as selective labels for proteins at the low pH and eliminates the need for the removal of extraneous components from the medium in which the proteins reside prior to detection.
