Abstract: A system for sealing the leg of a cyclone for separating out solids in gas/solid suspension is described. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for sealing the legs of two stages of cyclones in series used in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes, comprising a terminal configuration which makes use of a long-radius curve (31) which is devoid of moving parts, which changes the flow direction of the descending mass flow of catalyst in dense phase into a plane orthogonal to the ascending gaseous flow, which prevents the entry of gaseous phase inside the leg (24), and which promotes efficient sealing and preventing the "packing-down" of the dense bed of particulates.

Abstract: A frequency hopping spread spectrum telecommunication system is provided, which selects carrier frequencies based on the number of active slots. The duration that carriers have been employed is then based on the number of active slots (401, 402), rather than the number of frames (22). Thus, non-interfered with carriers can be used more often than interfered with carriers, thereby improving voice quality.

Title: Rna sequence-specific mediators of rna interference
Inventor: TUSCHL THOMAS
IPC: A61K31/7105
Filed: 2001-03-30
Granted: 2013-11-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to a Drosophila in vitro system which was used to demonstrate that dsRNA is processed to RNA segments 21-23 nucleotides (nt) in length. Furthermore, when these 21-23 nt fragments are purified and added back to Drosophila extracts, they mediate RNA interference in the absence of long dsRNA. Thus , these 21-23 nt fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNA degradation. A molecular signal, which may be their specific length, must be present in these 21-23 nt fragments to recruit cellular factors involved in RNAi. This present invention encompasses these 21-23 nt fragments and their use for specifically inactivating gene function. The use of these fragments (or chemically synthesized oligonucleotides of the same or similar nature) enables the targeting of specific mRNAs for degradation in mammalian cells, where the use of long dsRNAs to elicit RNAi is usually not practical, presumably because of the deleterious effects of the interferon response. This specific targeting of a particular gene function is useful in functional genomic and therapeutic applications.

Granted: 2008-08-12
Abstract: A centrifugal pump having an adjustable clean-out assembly (60), the positio n of which determines the face clearance between a wear plate (72) and an impeller (20). The clean-out assembly includes an end cover (63) that threadedly mounts a plurality of adjustment assemblies. The adjustment assembly includes an adjuster (104) that defines a through bore for slidably receiving a retaining stud (66) that extends from the pump housing. Each adjuster includes an abutment surface (108) which engages a pump surface and which establishes the face clearance between the wear plate and the impeller . Each adjuster includes a hex-shaped head which is engageable by an associate d locking member (120) secured to the end cover. Each locking member includes a locking collar (120a) having 18 teeth which allows the collar to engage the hex-shaped head of the adjuster in 18 different postions. By knowing the thread pitch of the adjuster thread, precise rotations of the adjuster can b e used to establish a precise clearance between the wear plate and impeller. Once the adjustment is made, the locking collar is secured to the end cover which enables the clean-out assembly to be removed from the pump without disturbing the adjustment.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high-speed container unscrambler. The invention comprises of an apparatus for alignment, orientation of containers and sets of conveyor belts between which the containers are placed. The alignment mechanism has a photo eye that detects a presence of a container and a servomotor that is activated by the photo eye. The servomotor has a three hook arm mounted to it, which serves to lift the containers by their leading end when they are coming with a neck leading position. When containers are coming in with a base leading position, the hook does not engage the containers and the containers are passing by without engagement. The containers are released between the conveyor belts aligned in the same position and move towards an orientation mechanism, which places the containers in an all-standing position. The orientation mechanism comprises of a photo eye, which detects a presence of a container, and a servomotor, that is activated by the photo eye. The servomotor has a pocketed wheel mounted on it, which serves to engage containers and rotate them to all standing position. Once the containers are oriented in all standing position, they are released between the belts and proceed for further processing.

Title: Pilot control valve utilizing multiple offset slide valves
Inventor: ELLIOTT ANDREW C
IPC: F01L25/06
Filed: 2003-08-21
Granted: 2010-11-09
Abstract: A pilot control valve for controlling a reciprocating pump having a valve member shiftable within a valve body between a first or "downstroke" position and a second or "upstroke" position. When the valve member is in its first position, the valve member positions a pair of slide valves to allow communication of control fluid to the lower surface of a piston to move the piston from a first position to a second position. As the piston reaches its second position, a poppet disposed in a rod attached to the piston allows control fluid acting on the valve member to depressurize. As such control fluid is depressurized, pressurized control fluid acts on the valve member to move the valve member from its first position to its second position, In its second position, the valve member positions the pair of slide valves to block communication of the control fluid to the lower surface of the piston and to allow communication of the control fluid to the upper surface of the piston causing the piston to return to its first position. As the piston returns to its first position, the poppet disposed in the piston rod allows the pressurized control fluid acting on the upper surface of the piston to act on the valve member to move the valve member back to its first position. In its first position, the valve member repositions the pair of slide valves to block communication of the control fluid to the upper surface of the piston and allows communication of the control fluid to the lower surface of the piston and the process is repeated.

Title: Driving pulley for a continuously variable transmission
Inventor: ROBERT JEAN
IPC: F16H61/662
Filed: 2002-03-06
Granted: 2006-07-18
Abstract: The driving pulley (10) comprises two centrifugal mechanisms, namely a positive assembly (50) and a negative assembly (80). Both assemblies (50, 80 ) comprise a respective set of flyweights (62, 92) subjected to the centrifuga l force when the driving pulley (10) rotates. The positive assembly (50) is us ed as a conventional speed governor that moves one of the two flanges (28, 36) of the driving pulley (10) towards the other in order to increase its winding diameter when the rotation speed increases. The negative assembly (80) is us ed to apply an opposite force on the positive assembly (50) when the rotation speed is above a threshold value so as to defer the upshift of the CVT to a higher ratio under the action of the positive assembly (50). This allows to maintain, for instance, a high rotation speed during an intense acceleration and a lower rotation speed when cruising at low vehicle speeds.
