Filed: 2002-04-17
Abstract: The invention resides in a novel ignition resistant activated biregional fib er that is extremely flexible due to the presence of an inner core of a thermoplastic polymeric composition in the fiber that is surrounded by an outer sheath of activated carbon. The invention also discloses a process for the manufacture of flexible activated biregional fiber(s) by heating oxidati on stabilized biregional fibers or carbonaceous biregional fibers in an activating atmosphere for a period of time and at a temperature sufficient t o form an activated carbonaceous outer region in the fiber while the inner cor e of the fiber remain as a thermoplastic polymeric composition. The activated biregional fibers are particularly characterized by having a highly porous internal structure with an internal surface area of from about 50m2/g to greater than 2000m2/g depending on fiber diameter. Preferred end uses for th e biregional activated carbon fiber(s) include, for example, air and water purification, solvent recovery, waste water treatment, the removal of noxiou s gases such as sulfur dioxide from stack gases, gas separation and storage, e tc.

Abstract: Assembling window frame assemblies often requires skilled labor at a construction site. Various aspects of the invention provide frame assemblies and methods of installing that may reduce the need of skilled carpenters on-site in some circumstances. In one particular example, the invention provides a window frame assembly that includes a cover, a main frame, and a glazing pane. The cover has a transverse member that includes a mating projection. The main frame has a window opening and a confronting periphery. The confronting periphery includes a peripheral recess and a guide, with the peripheral recess being sized to telescopically receive a portion of the cover mating projection. The guide may include an outwardly flared guide surface that is adapted to guide the leading edge of the mating projection into the recess.

Title: Identification of 5-lipoxygenase as a major gene contributing to atherosclerosis
Inventor: MEHRABIAN MARGARETE
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-10-24
Abstract: 5-LO is expressed in the monocyte/macrophages (mono/mac) and foam cells of atherosclerotic lesions and is differentially expressed in CAST and CON6 mic e relative to B6 mice. Mice heterozygous for a null mutation of 5-LO, when placed on an LDLR-/- background, have dramatically reduced atherosclerosis a s compared to control LDLR-/- mice. In a genetic epidemiologic study, it is found that a common 5-LO polymorphism is strongly associated with carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT). These results indicate that 5-LO is a major contributor to atherogenesis in animal models, and in atherosclerosis susceptibility in humans.

Title: Rotational control apparatus with variable actuation methods
Inventor: HEIN DAVE
IPC: F16D65/18
Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: Apparatus (10) for controlling rotation of an input (12) in the most preferred form of a brake includes a housing (50) which can be positioned in either first or second positions. In the first position, a piston (66) moves out of its cavity (64) in the housing (50) and forces a plate (76a) including the piston (66) and an interface facing (80) toward an interface disc (20) while a release spring (92) located in a countersink (74) acts on a fastener (98) to move the first plate (76a) away from the interface disc (20). When flipped to the second position, the piston (66) moves out of its cavity (64) in the housing (50) and forces a second plate (76b) interconnected to the first plate (76a) away from the interface disc (20) while engaging springs (90) sandwiched in cavities (70) between the housing (50) and the first plate (76a) including the interface facing (80) force the first plate (76a) toward the interface disc (20). Thus, apparatus (10) can be assembled to be either fluid engaged or fluid released from the same components, with the use of the same components to construct rotational control apparatus (10) with different actuation methods resulting in lower component fabrication and inventory costs.
