Title: Process for removing color bodies from hydrocarbon-based fuels using activated carbon
Inventor: ZHANG TIEJUN
IPC: C01B31/08
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: A process for removing color bodies from hydrocarbon-based fuels, particularly gasoline, using an activated carbon is disclosed. Color bodies are removed from the fuel by contacting the fuel with such activated carbon having within this pore structure a fuel decolorizing amount of polymerized phosphoric acid or reduced transition metals. Phosphoric acid may be added to a non-phosphoric acid-activated carbon (such as steam activated coal-based) prior to the subsequent heat treatment or one can take advantage of residual phosphoric acid present in, for example, a phosphoric acid-activated wood-based carbon.  Similarly, transition metals such as copper may be added to an activated carbon in a salt form in addition to whatever is already present therein as impurities.

Title: Methods for treating and monitoring inflammation and redox imbalance in cystic fibrosis
Inventor: TIROUVANZIAM RABINDRA
IPC: A61K31/198
Filed: 2006-08-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical kits and methods to treat lung inflammation and redox imbalance in human cystic fibrosis patients using pharmaceutical compositions containing N-acety1 cysteine (NAC). Treatment with oral NAC at a dose of from about 1800 mg/day to about 3000 mg/day for a period of 4 weeks produced significant positive effects, namely, it decreased absolute numbers of white blood cells and neutrophils in the sputum and produced concomitant decreases in sputum neutrophil elastase specifi activity and sputum interleukin-8 levels, suggesting an amelioration of lung inflammation in the patients. These effects were ssociated with an increased total GSH level in whole blood as well increased staining for reduced GSH in blood neutrophils, both of which reflect an amelioration of the redox imbalance in patients. Oral NAC at a dose of about 2700 g/day showed excellent safety and significantl decreased white blood cells in sputum.

Abstract: A casing cap to seal the annulus formed between an upper end of an outer casing and an inner casing extending through and above the outer casing. An annular casing cap housing is formed in split portions which when joined at their splits form the casing cap housing to cover and seal the annulus. The joined casing cap split portions form a side wall which surrounds the outer casing, and which has upper and lower ends. The upper end forms an annular top section adapted to rest on the upper end of the outer casing, cover the annulus and form an upper annular seal to the inner casing. The lower end is adapted to form a mechanical connection, preferably non-welded, to the outer casing and to form an annular seal to the outer casing. Each casing cap split portion forms a sealing surface at each split for sealing together around a sealing element such as epoxy, graphite or elastomer seals. Connectors between the casing cap split portions clamp together the sealing surfaces of the casing cap split portions with the sealing element to form pressure-containing, non-welded seals.
