Abstract: A low-emissivity multilayer coating includes, in order outward from the substrate, a first layer including a layer containing titanium oxide, a layer containing silicon nitride, or a sublayer layer containing titanium oxide in combination with a sublayer containing silicon nitride; a second layer including Ag; a third layer including at least one layer selected from titanium oxide layers and silicon nitride layers; a fourth layer including Ag; and a fifth layer including silicon nitride. The color of the coatings can be varied over a wide range by controlling the thicknesses of the layers of titanium oxide, silicon nitride and Ag. A diffusion barrier of oxidized metal protects relatively thin, high electrical conductivity, pinhole free Ag films grown preferentially on zinc oxide substrates. Oxygen and/or nitrogen in the Ag films improves the thermal and mechanical stability of the Ag. Dividing the first layer of titanium oxide, the Ag layers, and/or the third layer with a sublayer of oxidized metal can provide greater thermal and mechanical stability to the respective layers.

Title: Cooling air supply apparatus of refrigerator
Inventor: KANG BYUNG GYU
IPC: F25D23/02
Filed: 2002-01-04
Granted: 2007-02-13
Abstract: A cooling air supply apparatus includes: a blowing fan attached at a rear wall face of a freezing chamber and forcefully circulating air cooled while passing an evaporator of a freezing cycle; a supply passage formed at a barrier partitioning the freezing chamber and a cooling chamber and supplying cooling air ventilated from the blowing fan to the cooling chamber; a rear guide passage branched from the cooling air passage and guiding cooling air backwardly of the cooling chamber; a right guide passage branched from the cooling air supply passage and guiding cooling air rightwardly of the cooling chamber; and a left guide passage branched from the cooling air supply passage, having the same diameter as that of the right guide passage and guiding cooling air leftwardly of the cooling chamber. Since a half of cooling air is guided from the supply passage to the rear guide passage and one-fourth of cooling air is respectively supplied to the right guide passage and the left guide passage, the cooling air distribution in the whole cooling chamber can be uniform. In addition, when a load occurs partially as food, or the like, is received into the freezing chamber, cooling air is concentratively discharged to the portion where the load occurs, so that a cooling operation can be quickly performed.

Abstract: A vacuum conduit system for removal of fumes and air borne particulate matter includes a primary duct and a plurality of flexible secondary ducts mounted in fluid cooperation to the primary duct. The primary duct includes hollow rigid conduit sections interspersed between, and in fluid communication with, hollow flexible conduit sections. An upstream end of the primary duct is sealed substantially air-tight. An opposite downstream end of the primary duct cooperates with an air extraction means for extracting air from the primary duct. Secondary ducts may be mounted at their downstream ends to the rigid conduit sections and inclined at a first angle relative to the rigid conduit sections so that secondary airflows leaving the downstream ends of the secondary ducts are inclined into an airflow stream in the primary duct so as to be directed in a downstream direction of the airflow stream in the primary duct to generally equalize vacuum levels at the downstream ends of the secondary ducts.

Abstract: A method for constructing stable bioactive fusion proteins of the difficult to express tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF), and particularly members CD40L (CD154) and RANKL/TRANCE, with collectins, particularly pulmonary surfactant protein D (SPD) is described. Single trimers of these proteins lack the full stimulatory efficacy of the natural membrane forms of these proteins in many cases. The multimeric nature of these soluble fusion proteins enables them to engage multiple receptors on the responding cells, thereby, mimicking the effects of the membrane forms of these ligands. For CD40L-SPD, the resulting protein stimulates B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells, indicating its potential usefulness as a vaccine adjuvant. The large size of these fusion proteins makes them less likely to diffuse into the circulation, thereby limiting their potential systemic toxicity. This property may be especially useful when these proteins are injected locally as a vaccine adjuvant or tumor immunotherapy agent to prevent them from diffusing away. In addition, these and other TNFSF-collecting fusion proteins present new possibilities for the expression of highly active, multimeric, soluble TNFSF  members.

Abstract: La technique de l'invention est basée sur la gravure au plasma anisotrope de feuilles de polymère organique partiellement protégées par un masque métallique. L'originalité du procédé de l'invention réside dans le fait qu'il consiste à créer les propriétés de surface par le même moyen physique que celui utilisé pour la fabrication en trois dimensions, en même temps que celle-ci. Les propriétés de surface sont, entre autres, le caractère hydrophobe, caractère hydrophile, le pouvoir réfléchissant, la rugosité et plus précisément l'état chimique et/ou physique de la surface. Il est également possible de générer les fonctionnalités voulues, par exemple l'acide carboxylique, l'ester, l'éther, l'amide ou l'imide, pendant le procédé de gravure. La formation des différentes propriétés peut être assurée par deux techniques différentes pouvant être utilisées séparément ou simultanément.

Abstract: Methods and products for delivering a medicament or agent to an individual are provided as well as methods for producing the product. The product includes a coating having a medicament or agent. The medicament or agent is present within the coating that surrounds a tableted gum center (the water soluble portion and a water insoluble base portion). By chewing the gum, the medicament or agent is released from the product. Continuing to chew the chewing gum creates a pressure within the buccal cavity forcing the agent or medicament directly into the systemic system of the individual through the oral mucosa contained in the buccal cavity. This greatly enhances the absorption of the drug into the systemic system as well as the bioavailability of the drug within the system.

Abstract: A wall structure of a trailer box (10) is constructed from a plurality of panels (36, 38, 40) which are welded together where their edges meet. The panels (36, 38, 40) are each extrusions and each includes thin side skins (42, 44) and thin webs (46, 48, 50). The edge regions that are connected together include thickened portions that dissipate a substantial amount of the heat provided by the welds (56, 58). A plurality of panels (36, 38, 40) are welded together to form a large wall structure (WS). This wall structure (WS) is then reconfigured by a roll-forming machine (Fig: 8- 10) to provide a box (10) having a longitudinally straight and laterally curved configuration. Laterally considered, the box (10) has a concave inner side and a convex outer side. This shape of the box provides the box with both sidewalls and a bottom. The overall construction of the trailer box is lightweight and quite strong and facilitates construction of the truck/trailer box.
