Title: A pressure balanced torsion system for a backrest and the like
Inventor: ZHANG YUN HUI
IPC: A47C23/00
Filed: 1992-07-23
Granted: 1995-06-01
Abstract: The pressure balanced torsion system is for use in a backrest and the like. The system has a plurality of torsion action assemblies. Each assembly consists of a pair of pressure bearing plates mounted at the free ends of a torsion spring. The torsion spring is pivotally mounted to a rigid support plate which forms the back plate of the backrest. When a body rests against the backrest, the counter reactive force generated by the assembly causes both pressure bearing plates to push back against the body until the torsion is balanced, thus providing a uniform support to the body.

Title: Continuous type heat exchanger
Inventor: KLAREN DICK GERRIT
IPC: B01J8/24
Filed: 1984-07-11
Granted: 1987-05-14
Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus for carrying out physical and/or chemical processes, more specifically a heat exchanger (10) of the continuous type, comprising a large number of vertical heat exchanger tubes (18) mounted between a lower chamber (17) and an upper chamber (16) within a jacket (15). Within the tubes (18) small solid particles are kept in a fluidized condition by the fluid medium passing up from the lower chamber (17) through the tubes (18), so as to achieve a good heat transfer, whereas also any deposit will be removed from the innertube walls. Forthe downward flow of the granular mass at least one return tube (21) is provided. Downward circulation of the fluid medium through the return tube (21) should be minimal, however, which can be achieved by an increase of the pressure difference between the upper and lower chamber (16; 17), which increase of the pressure difference can be achieved by fitting several distribution plates (24; 42) at a level above the return tube (21) outlet into the lower chamber (17), preferably so thatthe apertures in the various distribution plates (24; 42) of the multiple design are not vertically in line.The second distribution plate (42) also serves to minimise excessive wear of the material of the jacket (15) due to the eddying motion of the granules.

Title: Method and apparatus for simulating interference received by subscribers in a spread spectrum communications system
Inventor: SOLIMAN SAMIR S
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 1995-07-13
Granted: 1999-01-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for simulating signal interference in one communication channel within a communication system, such as cellular or wireless subscriber telephone and/or data systems. The communication system may be of a cellular type in which users from a plurality of cells communicate information signals between one another using at least one base station and code division multiple access (CDMA) spread spectrum type communication signals. The base station is included in a first of the cells and has a transmitter from which information is transmitted to subscriber units over at least one communication channel. The disclosed method includes the step of determining a first composite signal energy associated with signal transmission from the base station transmitter over a first set of simulated communication channels. The simulation method further contemplates estimating a first average data rate for the first composite signal energy. Signal power transmitted over the one communication channel is adjusted in accordance with a first interference signal which is based on the first composite signal energy and first average data rate. In a preferred implementation, a determination is also made of a second composite signal energy associated with signal transmissions from base station transmitters in other cells over a second set of simulated communication channels. An estimate is also made of a second average data rate for the second composite signal energy to enable generation of a second interference signal.

Title: Novel inhibitors of formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE's)
Inventor: RAHBAR SAMUEL
IPC: A61K31/198
Filed: 2000-04-05
Granted: 2003-07-31
Abstract: Derivatives of aryl and heterocyclic ureido and aryl and heterocyclic carboxamido phenoxy isobutyric acids have been found to inhibit the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins which often results in formation of advanced glycation endproducts and crosslinks. Many other phenoxyisobutyric acid derivatives as well as certain other compounds as set out in this disclosure also have been found to inhibit the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins. The nonenzymatic glycation and crosslinking of proteins is a part of the aging process with the glycation endproducts and crosslinking of long-lived proteins increasing with age. This process is increased at elevated concentrations of reducing sugars in the blood and in the intracellular environment such as occurs with diabetes. The structural and functional integrity of the affected molecules become perturbed by these modifications and can result in severe consequences. The compounds of the present invention can be used to inhibit this process of nonenzymatic glycation and therefore to inhibit some of the ill effects caused by diabetes or by aging. The compounds are also useful for preventing premature aging, spoilage of proteins in food and can prevent discoloration of teeth.
