Title: Immunologic enhancement with intermittent interleukin-2 therapy
Inventor: LANE H CLIFFORD
IPC: A61P31/12
Filed: 1994-05-19
Granted: 1998-05-21
Abstract: A method for activating a mammalian immune system entails a series of continuous IL-2 infusions that are effected intermittently over an extended period. For example, IL-2 can be administered continuously for a period that is on the order of 5 days in length, and successive infusions of this nature can be separated by a period of at least 4 weeks. Sustained beneficial effects, including elevated CD4 cell counts, restoration of lymphocyte function and an increase in the number of IL-2 receptors, are achieved with such intermittent IL-2 therapy, which can be combined with another therapy which targets a specific disease state, such as an anti-retroviral therapy comprising, for example, the administration of AZT, ddI or interferon alpha.

Title: Method and compositions for chlorine dioxide manufacture
Inventor: ROSENBLATT AARON A
IPC: C01B11/02
Filed: 1994-09-13
Granted: 1996-07-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the generation, use, and disposal of chlorine dioxide is disclosed. A solid sodium chlorite composition having impurities, at least one of which is sodium hydroxide, is contacted with an agent to consume essentially all of the sodium hydroxide. Chlorine dioxide gas is then generated by contacting the resultant composition with chlorine in a humidified inert carrier gas. The resultant chlorine dioxide gas mixture may then be treated to remove chlorine gas present therein by contacting the same with soda-lime in particulate form. After using the chlorine dioxide gas mixture in the desired manner, chlorine dioxide present in the spent effluent gas may be substantially removed via the introduction of the effluent gas into an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate having a sufficient amount of an inorganic base to maintain the alkalinity of the solution during consumption of thiosulfate by chlorine dioxide.

Title: Boat with collapsible hull
Inventor: KAYE ALEX R
IPC: B63B39/06
Filed: 1987-08-20
Granted: 1989-11-23
Abstract: A boat having a pair of bottom banels provided with respective flaps to cause the stern of the boat to ride relatively high in the water when the boat is driven forwardly in the water by an outboard motor. In one embodiment, the flaps pivot downwardly and provide drag for the stern in response to forward movement of the boat. In two other embodiments, the flaps provide planing surfaces near the stern. The boat can be collapsible in which case the bottom panels mate with resilient side panels to form, when collapsed, a flat sandwich configuration which, by the means of improved straps, can be carried on the top of a vehicle or can be hand-carried. An improved bracket for the stern of the boat is used to permit positive attachment of an outboard motor to the boat.

Patent AU-653166-B2 (AU)
Title: Coating composition and methods of use
Inventor: WINCKEL WALTER VAN
IPC: C03C17/32
Filed: 1991-07-23
Granted: 1994-09-22
Abstract: A cohesive coating composition (16) having differential adhesion properties is applied to window glass (12) without regard to covering adjacent trim material (14) which is to be subsequently painted. The DAC (differential adhesion composition) coating (16) is characterized by high adhesion to wood, metal, plastics and painted surfaces and at the same time by selective adhesion to glass-like surfaces, so that the coating composition (16) may be easily scraped, peeled, or otherwise lifted from the glass (12), together with any paint overlay thereon, after painting operation of the window frame (14) is completed. When subjected to sheer forces of pulling and scraping, the cohesive properties of DAC coating (16) when considered in combination with a relatively low adhesion to glass, allows the coating (16) to be removed in long continuous strips rather than fracturing into small pieces. Indicia can also be applied to the DAC coating (16) once DAC coating (16) is applied to the glass (12) as a protective coating. Also, the DAC coating (16) can be used directly as a paint so that any paint (18) inadvertently applied to glass (12) or glass-like surfaces during a painting operation can be subsequently lifted off the glass (12).

Title: Metal plate assembly fabrication system
Inventor: JOHNSTON DANIEL D
IPC: B63B3/09
Filed: 1991-12-17
Granted: 1994-05-12
Abstract: A metal plate assembly such as a vessel hull (10) is fabricated by securing longitudinal edges of aluminium hull plates (12, 14, 16) in position to prevent outward movement thereof. Adjacent longitudinal edges of the hull plates are welded together with sufficient heating to cause the welded hull plates to bow outwardly between the longitudinal edges. The convex outer surfaces (24) are placed in compression when the welded hull plates (12, 14, 16) cool to ambient temperature and ambient pressure on the inner and outer surfaces of the plates is equal. The resulting hull (10) can be curved into deeply bowed curvatures, and it provides the advantages of an outer surface in compression.

Title: Room temperature regulating mechanism - has integral heat exchanger with flow across it controlled by flap valve mechanically operated
IPC: F24F11/83
Filed: 1970-10-12
Abstract: The room temp. is regulated, using room air heaters with built-in heat carriers (air heaters or coolers). The amount of fresh air fed in is varied in dependence on the measured temp. changes in the room. The amount is present, and the deviations of it due to the temp. regulation from the preselected reference value are measured in the from the preselected reference value are measured in the intake duct or exhaust air path. When these deviations exist, the supply of heating or cooling energy to the heat exchanger is altered for a period such that, with the preselected room temp. maintained, the preselected fresh air throughput is re-established. Simultaneous regulation of both is obtained.

Title: Flat coil condenser with shrunk on plastic cover - bonded to coil by adhesion sintering or melting
IPC: H01G4/32
Filed: 1971-03-22
Abstract: The Parent Patent describes a flat-coil condenser in which connecting wires are attached at the two ends of the coil and extend parallel to the wide (long) sides of the flat coil. The wide, flat sides of the coil and the end faces including the attached portions of the connecting wires are all held together by a surrounding plastic sleeve of shrunk polyester and/or polycarbonate foil. In the Patent of Addition, the inner face of this sleeve is bonded to the outer face of the coil at least in certain regions. To provide the bond, there may be an interlayer of adhesive, or the inner face of the plastic sleeve may be sintered onto the outer face of the coil, or again it may be fused onto the outer face of the coil. The plastics sleeve may be of two inseparable layers, the outer one at least being a shrinking foil while the inner one serves for bonding to the coil. The advantage of the Parent Patent, by which the connecting wires are firmly held by the plastic sleeve, is retained, with additional high mechanical strength and robustness and ease of manufacture.

Patent DE-2128172-B2 (DE)
Title: Gear change shaft for tractor - with common shaft for group and reversing gears having sloped slots in guide sleeves
IPC: F16H63/44
Filed: 1971-06-07
Abstract: The tractor is fitted with a main gear box as well as a group gear box which can be changed under torque, such as for ploughing. A reversing gear is also fitted to the group gears, operated by a single control lever. The leverage is simplified by a sleeve on the operating shaft with a slotted coupling to one gear selector, while the other gear selectors are activated normally. Thus rotating the operating shaft controls one set of gears, e.g. the group gears, while axial movement of the shaft operates on the sleeve to reverse the drive, without affecting the group gear setting.
