Title: Catalysts and process for hydrogenolysis of sugar alcohols to polyols
Inventor: MILLER DENNIS J
IPC: C07C29/00
Filed: 2001-01-08
Granted: 2007-03-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparation of low molecular weight polyols from high molecular weight polyols in a hydrogenolysis reaction under elevated temperature and hydrogen pressure. The process comprises providing in a reaction mixture the polyols, a base, and a metal catalyst prepared by depositing a transition metal salt on an inert support, reducing the metal salt to the metal with hydrogen, and passivating the metal with oxygen, and wherein the catalyst is reduced with hydrogen prior to the reaction. In particular, the process provides for the preparation of glycerol, propylene glycol, and ethylene glycol from sugar alohols such as sorbitol or xylitol. In a preferred process, the metal catalyst comprises ruthenium which is deposited on an alumina, titanic, or carbon support, and the dispersion of the ruthenium on the support increases during the hydrogenolysis reaction.

Abstract: A profiled unit (10) for a shower partition door (S) is mounted for rotation about an off-center vertical axis (A) and accommodates, in longitudinal grooves (12, 14) on either side, partial leaves (22, 24) whose position relative to each other is adjustable in at least two directions. At the front and/or rear, flat elements (30, 38) are lockable into a profiled element (11), eg a hollow profiled body whose ends accommodate pivot bearings (26, 28) between which the profiled unit (10) can be raised or lowered even during its rotation and can be locked in position in at least one door position. For alignment, a mounting or supporting plate (50) provided below the bottom pivot bearing (26) can be adjusted and locked. Above this, the weight of the door rests on a preloadable spring assembly (F). By manual adjustment means a compression spring (67) can be contracted and released in order to lower or raise said door (S), respectively. An eccentric (57) is engaged by a pulling member (61) of a pulling device (60) such that the latter axially engages, via a pulling head (64) within the profiled unit (10), a spring counterbearing (65) which is mounted in a spring cup (66) that is longitudinally displaceable in a lower fixed sleeve (21) above said bottom pivot bearing (26). An upper polygonal sleeve (68) is rotatable relative to said fixed sleeve (21) in order to adjust the preload of the compression spring (67).

Title: Aerial tree delimbing apparatus
Inventor: TINGSTAD ERVIN RALPH
IPC: B64D1/00
Filed: 2002-10-18
Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A tree delimber includes a hollow tube having opposite upper and lower ends, the upper end adapted for mounted below an aerial hoist, the lower end having an anti-rotation device mounted thereto for coupling with, mating into and temporarily entangling with the branches of a tree as the trunk of the tree is journalled upwardly through the hollow tube as the tube is lowered onto the tree and down the trunk of the tree. The anti-rotation device inhibits rotation of the tube about a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the tube. A collar is rotatably mounted to the lower end of the tube. An annular saw blade having a lower cutting edge is mounted to the collar so as to dispose the cutting edge downwardly. The cutting edge of the saw rotates in a circle contained in a plane generally perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the tube. A prime mover is mounted to the tube. The prime mover is remotely actuable by an operator and cooperates with the collar so that, once actuated, the prime mover urges the collar to rotate about the axis of symmetry of the tube while the tube is held substantially stationary relative to the trunk of a tree by the anti-rotation device engaging the branches of the tree.

Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: A multi-layered compressor housing and method of manufacture is provided. The housing defines an interior space and includes first and second layers having first and second major surfaces respectivley. The first and second layers are secured together by the frictional engagement of the first and second major surfaces which each substantially enclose the interior space defined by the housing. The housing may be manufactured by placing first and second layers of sheet stock material in mutual facing engagement wherein the two layers are relatively moveable. The first and second relatively moveable layers are then simultaneously formed into a non-planar shape defining at least a portion of the housing. A compressor is then mounted in the housing and the housing is hermetically sealed. The simultaneous forming of the first and second layers into a non-planar shape causes the frictional engagement of the layers whereby the layers are secured together.

Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis.  Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.
