Title: Process for Shipping and Ripening Fruits and Vegetables Using a Controlled Atmosphere Container System for Perishable Products
Inventor: HERDEMAN ROBERT W
IPC: A23L3/3418
Filed: 1994-06-08
Abstract: A controlled atmosphere container system for shipping, storing, and ripening perishable prod-ucts, wherein the container system includes a plu-rality of individual, transportable containers to be cconnected from time to time with a central source for providing acontrolled atmosphere to those con-tainers. A controller enables the container system to optimally allocate the capacity of the central source of the controlled atmosphere based upon the relative atmospheric conditions of the contain-ers attached thereto and the capacity of the source according to a predetermined hierarchy of priorities for allocating the controlled atmosphere gas to the individual containers.  In a preferred arrangement, the central source for the controlled atmosphere gas includes at least one distribution control unit which acts to selectively direct controlled atmos-phere gas to individual containers in accordance with the allocation hierarchy of the system. The same containers are used to implement a method for uniformly controlling the ripening of bananas and other perishable products from harvest to delivery during shipping. Freshly harvested, unripened perishable products are loaded into the containers and cooled to a holding temperature in a range of from about 57 °F to about 70 °F. One the products are stabilized at the desired holding temperature, a controlled atmosphere including ethylene is substantially immediately provided to the internal volume to uniformly initiate ripening of all of the loaded products. Once ripening has been initiated, the ethylene is reduced within the internal volume by displacement with a low oxygen controlled atmosphere, which is maintained within the container during storage, transportation, and delivery procedures. Prior to unloading the ripened products from the container, the atmosphere within the internal volume is returned to normal conditions.   Once the loaded products have been stabilized at the desired holding temperature and exposed to the ethylene atmosphere to initiate ripening procedures, adjustments to the controlled atmosphere and temperature within the internal volume can be utilized to "tune" the ripening prooess as desired to provide ripened products for delivery within a range of timing schedules.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide preparations for the treatment or prophylaxis of AIDS and systemic lupus erythematosus and related disorders. The invention is based on my discovery of the process triggered in the immune system by HIV which leads to AIDS. HIV has a specific mechanism to activate the immune system to allow it to replicate and this same immune activation leads to an autoimmune process which eventually leads to AIDS. The preparation for treatment comprises of novel synthesised peptides whose amino acid sequences are derived from a human protein called ezrin and are based on the following sequence: NH2ThrGluLysLysArgArgGluThrValGluArgGluLysGluCOOH. The mechanism of action of these peptides is that they switch off specific retrovirally induced immune responses by immunological tolerance.

Title: Frame beaming reduction assembly
Inventor: STEPHENS DONALD L
IPC: B60K5/12
Filed: 1996-05-06
Abstract: A frame beaming reduction assembly for use with a motor vehicle to eliminate or reduce the amplitude of frame beaming oscillations in a vehicle's frame caused by vibratory forces exerted on a motor vehicle. The assembly includes a frame having a beaming frequency in a first range of frequencies, and an engine is attached to the frame wherein the engine generates engine vibration that has a second range of frequencies that is different than the first range of frequencies. A spring is positioned between a cross member of the frame and a forward engine mount of the engine. A damper formed by a pair of shock absorbers is positioned between the frame and a second forward engine mount substantially parallel to the spring such that the combination of the damper, the spring, and the engine has an offsetting frequency that is substantially equal to the frame's beaming frequency and that offsets the beaming frequency. The frame beaming reduction assembly effectively reduces the amplitude of the beaming frequency to approximately zero, whereby the frame beaming frequency oscillations are canceled and do not negatively impact the ride of the vehicle.
