Title: Figure eight movement of spray gun
Inventor: MOODY DALE R
IPC: B05B13/04
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: A figure eight mechanism (12) moves a thermal spray gun (22) over a substrate (26) such that the deposit (27) pattern has a figure eight configuration. The mechanism (12) and thereby the thermal spray gun (22) and the pattern are traversed along the substrate (26). The mechanism (12) is such that, when driven by an input drive of constant speed, the deposit travels along the configuration at a non-uniform velocity. A drive system (16) provides an input drive with varying speed so as to reduce the non-uniformity of the velocity. In one aspect a motor (52) has varying speed, and in another aspect a linkage (54) between a constant speed motor (52) and the mechanism (12) provides the varying speed.

Title: Solenoid valve piston
Inventor: WILSON JOHN R
IPC: F16K31/385
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: A flush valve for use on toilet devices such as urinals and water closets includes a body having an inlet and an outlet. There is a valve seat in the body and a valve member movable within the body toward and away from the valve seat to control water flow between the inlet and the outlet. A housing is mounted on the valve body and there is a chamber within the housing. A piston is movable axially within the chamber and into the valve body for contact with the valve member to cause actuation thereof. There is a spring within the chamber which normally biases the piston outwardly from the valve body. A controlled passage in the housing connects the valve body inlet and. the chamber to provide water under pressure to move the piston, against the spring, into the valve body to cause operation of the valve member. The improvement comprises a groove in the exterior of the piston, which groove is adjacent and faces a wall of the chamber. There is a split ring in the groove, with the split ring being outwardly biased against the chamber wall and providing controlled water flow about the piston as it moves outwardly within the chamber in response to return force from the spring.

Title: Production of attenuated chimeric respiratory syncytial virus vaccines from cloned nucleotide sequences
Inventor: WHITEHEAD STEPHEN S
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: Chimeric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and vaccine compositions thereof are produced by introducing one or more heterologous gene(s) or gene segment(s) from one RSV subgroup or strain into a recipient RSV background o f a different subgroup or strain. The resulting chimeric RSV virus or subviral  particle is infectious and attenuated, preferably by introduction of selecte d mutations specifying attenuated phenotypes into a chimeric genome or antigenome to yield, for example, temperature sensitive (ts) and/or cold adapted (ca) vaccine strains. Alternatively, chimeric RSV and vaccine compositions thereof incorporate other mutations specifying desired structur al and/or phenotypic characteristics in an infectious chimeric RSV. Such chimer ic RSV incorporate desired mutations specified by insertion, deletion, substitution or rearrangement of one or more selected nucleotide sequence(s) , gene(s), or gene segment(s) in a chimeric RSV clone. This provides a method for development of novel vaccines against diverse RSV strains by using a common attenuated backbone as a vector to express protective antigens of heterologous strains. The immune system of an individual is stimulated to induce protection against natural RSV infection, preferably in a multivalent  manner to achieve protection against multiple RSV strains and/or subgroups.< /SDOAB>
