Title: Retinal vasculature image acquisition apparatus and method
Inventor: GOLDEN BRUCE L
IPC: A61B3/12
Filed: 1999-07-07
Granted: 2003-06-19
Abstract: The present invention creates a permanent record of an animal through a series of steps including, preliminarily acquiring an image of the retinal vasculature of the animal of interest; digitizing that image if the image is not a digital image; analyzing the image to determine if the image is satisfactory for further analysis; storing the image; and analyzing the image for unique anatomical landmarks. The image and data gathered therefrom may be stored in a database for later retrieval and comparison against other images. The data gathered from the image may be compared against other stored data in the database to determine the identity of the animal. Preferably, the system would also include a global positioning system ("GPS") device which would simultaneously time and date stamp the acquired image as well as stamp the image with the location where the imaging took place by recording the latitude and longitude of that location.

Title: Recovering sulphur from gas streams containing hydrogen sulphide
Inventor: WATSON RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: C01B17/04
Filed: 1986-04-11
Granted: 1988-08-18
Abstract: In a process for recovering sulphur from a typically relatively concentrated gaseous stream of hydrogen sulphide, the stream is reacted with pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air in a furnace 2 to form a gas mixture including hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide. The hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide then react to form sulphur vapour and water vapour. The temperature of the gases in the furnace 2 is controlled by introducing into the gases a quenchant. The quenchant is preferably liquid water although other liquid quenchants may be employed. Alternatively a vaporous quenchant stream comprising at least 80% by volume of steam is employed. The process enables relatively high rates of formation of sulphur vapour to be achieved for a given furnace volume.

Title: A therapeutic agent for intractable vasculitis
Inventor: NAIKI MITSURU
IPC: A61P9/00
Filed: 1999-11-04
Granted: 2002-11-28
Abstract: The invention provides a therapeutic agent for intractable vasculitis containing a hydantoin derivative represented by the formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an effective ingredient: <CHEM> wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen, an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group; and each of X and Y, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group or an alkoxy group, or X and Y together represent an oxo group. These compounds significantly suppress the generation of arthritis and arteritis (cutaneous ulcer and auricular infarcted necrosis) which were naturally developed in model animals (MRL/lpr), and further significantly elongat the survival rate of MRL/lpr mice. Consequently, the compound of the invention having low toxicity and less side effects is very useful as a highly safe therapeutic agent for intractable vasculitis such as malignant rheumatoid arthritis.

Title: Methods of setting chocolate and products produced by same
Inventor: WILLCOCKS NEIL A
IPC: A23G3/22
Filed: 1998-01-09
Granted: 2001-11-08
Abstract: The present invention discloses improved methods of making chocolates utilizing fast and aggressive cooling to form a set chocolate, chocolate products produced using same and cooling systems and apparatuses for performing same. The resultant rapidly cooled chocolate has many improved properties including enhanced gloss, improved bloom resistance and hardness. Moreover, the rapid cooling allows for the improved retention of fine detail and/or decoration on the chocolate product. The rapid cooling can be achieved without the use of chilled plungers or cold molds, but instead utilizes increased convective heat transfer coefficients and/or lower operating temperatures. The melted chocolate composition set by the rapid cooling can be of conventional temper, low temper or ultra-low temper chocolate and still result in a stable finished chocolate product allowing for the use of lower fat content formulations.Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of using a controlled humidity environment in a rewarm zone after the cooling zone to form a thermally robust chocolate product having enhanced resistance to heat abuse, yet which still has good gloss.

Title: Improved keys for cylinder locks
Inventor: FIELD PETER H
IPC: E05B19/06
Filed: 1996-09-18
Granted: 2000-01-13
Abstract: A key with a blade portion which is bitted for actuating the tumbler pins of a cylinder lock has improved cross-sectional strength despite deep cut bittings which extend well into the thickness of the blade. The key is generally flat with upper and lower surfaces and opposite short side edges. The bittings are cut across at least one of the surfaces so as to extend arcuately through the thickness of the blade and one of the side edges. The volume of key blank material which is adjacent the deep cut bittings after the key is cut is substantially more than conventional keys and provides the key blade with increased strength to prevent breakage. The bittings are cut into the key blade by a rotary cutter wheel which is dimensioned to form an arcuate bitting surface rather than a flat surface. A cylinder lock includes a rotatable plug having a tenon with a plurality of corner portions, and a keyway passing through the plug and tenon is configured to permit all of the tenon corners to remain intact, thereby providing secure seating of a tailcam on the tenon.
