Granted: 2008-02-12
Abstract: A recreational balancing apparatus comprises a frame defining a horizontal opening therein, and a balancing board mounted on a joint assembly in a manner which allows the balancing board to tilt in every direction, and be capable of 360° rotation. The apparatus further comprises an upstanding support post, the post being secured to a lower portion of the joint assembly, and a lower portion of the support post passes downwardly through the frame opening. Support legs are secured to the frame, and a collar, having an opening therein, is provided. A first set of high tension springs connects the collar to the frame, the springs each being connected to a periphery of the collar and an inside portion of the frame, so that the collar is supported centrally within the horizontal frame opening, to provide a stable center for the support post to slide through, and achieve limited tiltable movement in a radial axis about a center of rotation positioned in the center of the collar. A second set of high tension springs or high elastic shock modulus cords each has a first end mounted to a side of the frame and a second end attached to a bottom portion of the support post, whereby the second set of high tension springs supports the bottom of the post and permits limited movement thereon, in a vertical direction.

Filed: 2001-07-27
Granted: 2007-03-13
Abstract: The invention provides an improved regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) comprising two or three regenerators (heat exchangers) and combustion chamber. A centrifugal gas motor, being connected to combustion chamber, generates mechanical energy due to expansion of hot gas. A fan compresses relatively cold process gas to overcome pressure losses in RTO and develop additional pressure to be used by a centrifugal gas motor. The mechanical energy generated by a centrifugal gas motor exceeds additional power consumption by a fan due to higher volume flow of hot gas. It results in significant net savings in power consumption, and, in some cases, in generation of additional power.

Abstract: A wound closure apparatus is disclosed which includes a housing (10) that contains a vacuum pump, and a chamber for holding a disposable wound fluid collection canister (21). The canister resides with in the chamber, and connects at an outlet with the vacuum pump at an inlet with a porous wound pad (36). The pad is placed over or within a wound and adhesively secured thereto. When the vacuum pump activates, it evacuates air from the canister resulting in wound fluids flowing from the wound into the canister. Due to the negative effect that a vacuum can impose on tissue when granulation tissue i s pulled into the pad, the pad contains multiple pore sizes to prevent granulation tissue from migrating into the pad. The pad has an outer surface adjacent the wound with pore sizes of a diameter of approximately 100 microns or less to prevent tissue from growing into the pa d, and is treated for biocompatibility.

Abstract: An electrocoagulation treatment device includes a plurality of spaced reaction plates disposed within a reaction chamber. A voltage is applied to selected reaction plates to create an electrical field within the electrocoagulation chamber. The plates are arranged vertically which induces a vertical flow of liquid through a device. Gases formed in the electrocoagulation process are allowed to rise and can be vented to the atmosphere. The solids which precipitate out of the liquid stream are carried by the liquid stream to secondary separation. The device includes various embodiments adapted for use as a large industrial unit, a portable unit or for use within the home. The device may be operated in a pressure controlled environment, thus eliminating the need for a pump. The voltage and amperage of the electrical field chamber may be adjusted by placing selected reaction plates in electrical contact with the voltage source.

Granted: 2010-07-13
Abstract: A management apparatus (FIG. 1) stores pairs of copyrighted contents and numbers of permitted check-outs. On being requested to perform check-out for a semiconductor memory card, the management apparatus records an audio object (AOB) corresponding to a content in the semiconductor memory card, assigns a content ID to the AOB, and decrement a corresponding number of permitted check-outs. An editing and playback apparatus edits the AOB and assigns a content ID, which is the same as the content ID of the original AOB, to each new AOB  obtained by the editing. A local storage holds history information including a media ID and the content ID assigned to the original AOB. On being requested to perform check-in for the semiconductor memory card, the management apparatus sets, in a non-playable state, the AOB assigned a content ID that is the same as the content ID in the history information and increments the number of permitted check-outs.

Abstract: The lysosomal targeting pathway enzymes GlcNAc-phosphotransferase and phosphodiester .alpha.-GlcNAcase are recovered and used to produce highly phosphorylated lysosomal hydrolases that can be used to treat lysosomal storage diseases. Generally, the nucleic acid molecules coding for the enzymes are incorporated into expression vectors that are used to transfect host cells that express the enzymes. The expressed enzymes are recovered and used to treat lysosomal hydrolases having high mannose structures. The resulting lysosomal hydrolases have asparagine-linked oligosaccharides that are highly phosphorylated with mannose phosphate. The highly phosphorylated lysosomal hydrolases are readily taken into the cell and into the lysosome during enzyme replacement therapy procedures.

Granted: 2009-04-14
Abstract: In a power line current differential protection system, all three phase current values (IA, IB, and IC) are obtained from both the local end and the remote end of a power transmission line (12). The magnitude of the ratio of the remote current values to the local current values are calculated. Also, the angle difference between the local and the remote current values for eac h phase are calculated. Comparison elements (40, 42) then compare the ratio an d angle values against preselected values which establish a restrain region in the current ratio plane. Current values which result in the ratio being with in the region do not result in a tripping signal for the circuit breaker on the power transmission line (12), while current values which result in a ratio outside of the region result in a tripping of the circuit breaker. Similar circuitry is used for negative sequence current quantities, with the negativ e sequence preselected values being set substantially lower to produce a more sensitive response to possible faults in the line.
