Title: Easy dumping cart
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN FELTON
IPC: B62B1/18
Filed: 2004-01-22
Abstract: The use of a pivotal coupling on a cart (20) of the wheelbarrow type allows for a downwardly applied pressure to the user ends of the handles (22) to tip the bucket (28) to at least begin the dumping action of the cart. Following the initial downward pressure with the handles still elevationally displaced downward an upward lift applied to the user ends of the handles (22) completes the dumping action of the cart (20). Use of multiple pivotal axises (66, 68) on the cart provide for an extremely efficient operation. Various enhancements are explained including locking of the orientation of the cart (22) following the initial dump, wheel blocking to prevent rotation of the ground support wheel (24) relative to the bucket (28) during at least a portion of the final dumping action and stabilization enhancement to prevent lateral tipping of the cart (22) during the final dumping action.

IPC: B05B5/16
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: An improved Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) nozzle (20a) particularly suitable for a handheld pulmonary aerosol inhaler increases the consistent and efficient dispensing of therapeutic liquids by reducing or eliminating wetting through shielding of discharge electrodes (26). Some versions further eliminate wetting while enhances neutralization of the aerosol through presentation of a corona wind of ions annularly surround the aerosol. Incorporation of improved liquid distribution with consistent pressure drops to each EHD nozzle tip (32) allows horizontal dispensing, and by using dielectric nozzle tips (32) with low surface energy to thereby avoid wicking between dispenses and to advantageously reduce achievable particle size when dispensing. Some versions feature enhanced snap-fit assembly and other manufacturability advantages. One of the unique features of the EHD nozzles (32) is achieved high dose rate (microliters/minute) with low wetting and small particle size (1.0-5 microns), although these properties tend to be mutually exclusive. Furthermore, these attributes are incorporated into a conveniently small, handheld device.

Inventor: URABE YOSHIO
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2004-03-30
Abstract: A first frequency synchronization unit (103) corresponds to the frequency synchronization apparatus of the present invention. A higher apparatus that is, for example, a wireless receiver supplies a reception signal to the first frequency synchronization unit (103) via an A/D converter (101) and an orthogonal detector (102). A synchronization symbol that includes a predetermined waveform at least twice is incorporated into the reception signal. A correlation estimator (104) generates a reference signal expressing the same waveform as the synchronization symbol, and successively finds correlation vectors between the reception signal and the reference signal. A  first signal error detector (106) finds a frequency error based on an average phase difference of predetermined correlation vectors, and finds an absolute phase error based on transition of absolute phase of predetermined correlation vectors. A first frequency corrector (108) simultaneously gives the reception signal a frequency shift and phase rotation that cancel the errors.

Title: Use of alpha interferon, ribavirin, dsrna and neuraminidase inhibitors to treat avian influenza
Inventor: CARTER WILLIAM A
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2005-11-02
Abstract: Avian influenza is treated with natural human alpha interferon, neuraminidase inhibitor(s) and ribavirin. Effects of influenza virus are mitigated with a dsRNA in combination with a neuraminidase influenza virus inhibitor. These two products, dsRNA, and alpha interferon, have therapeutic utility either given preventively (prophylactically) or in treatment of active disease. These unique immunological/antiviral actions, operating through immunological "cascades" ameliorates the lethal effects of viral mutation which, by causing resistance to commonly available drugs, greatly accelerates the death rate. For example, in 1918-1920, Avian Influenza caused the death of approximately 40 million people worldwide (ref. National Geographic, Sept.  2005).

Abstract: What is disclosed is a foil comprising optically refractive pyramidal elements, which each have a triangular base. The bases of adjacent elements are turned 180 degrees relative to each other. It has been found that such a foil has optically refractive characteristics upon incidence of electromagnetic waves thereon, which characteristics render the foil suitable for imparting a desired pattern, possibly in a desired direction, to the exiting waves. The pattern may be a uniform pattern, for example, so as to impart a uniform or diffuse light distribution to electromagnetic waves, for example visible light, from a concentrated light source.
