Title: Protection of labile proteins during iodine disinfection
Inventor: SHANBROM EDWARD
IPC: A61L2/00
Filed: 1999-10-22
Granted: 2004-12-09
Abstract: Mixtures of iodine source resin with iodine capture resin have been found to provide effective disinfecting of protein-containing solutions such as plasma. These mixtures can be used in a chromatographic manner to effectively disinfect solutions while causing minimal damage to labile proteins such as clotting factors. Mixed resins containing equivalent amount of iodine source and iodine capture (50:50) are effective in many cases. If protein damage is still occurring, the ideal mixture may be one containing a lower amount of iodine (e.g. 25:75 or even 5:95). If disinfecting properties prove inadequate, ratios can be increased (e.g. 80:20). Surprisingly, the mixed resins also spare tissue components such as red blood cells and platelets. In some cases mixed resins are even useful in a batch procedure where the resin is removed by centrifugation or filtration at the end of a treatment period.

Abstract: What is described is a modified vector, such as a recombinant poxvirus, particularly recombinant vaccinia virus, having enhanced safety. The modified recombinant virus has nonessential virus-encoded genetic functions inactivated therein so that virus has attenuated virulence. In one embodiment, the genetic functions are inactivated by deleting an open reading frame encoding a virulence factor. In another embodiment, the genetic functions are inactivated by insertional inactivation of an open reading frame encoding a virulence factor. What is also described is a vaccine containing the modified recombinant virus having nonessential virus-encoded genetic functions inactivated therein so that the vaccine has an increased level of safety compared to known recombinant virus vaccines.\!

Granted: 2004-09-23
Abstract: A product transport system which is located predominantly within a chamber 10 (for example, an industrial oven chamber) and which comprises a pair of parallel, spaced apart conveyor chains 19. The conveyor chains are arranged to convey a plurality of transversely extending product support trays 15 through the chamber 10. Pairs of transversely spaced carriers 31 are provided to carry respective ones of the trays 15. Chain sprockets 20 are located within the chamber in alignment with the respective conveyor chains and the sprockets 20 are arranged to direct the respective conveyor chains through changes in direction (including through forward-and-return horizontal passes) within the chamber 10. Rotatable guide members 28 in the form of toothed wheels are positioned laterally adjacent to but out of alignment with respective ones of the chain sprockets 20, and a subsidiary chain drive is provided for driving each guide member 28 in synchronism with an adjacent one of the chain sprockets 20. Each of the carriers 31 has a first spigot 34 that is connected to an associated one of the conveyor chains 19 and has a second (relatively shorter) spigot 38 that is positioned to engage with one of the guide members 28 when a portion of the conveyor chain 19 to which the first spigot 34 is connected is being directed around an adjacent one of the chain sprockets 20. <IMAGE>

Title: Droplet deposition apparatus
Inventor: DIXON MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: B41J2/155
Filed: 1999-12-24
Granted: 2004-01-22
Abstract: Droplet deposition apparatus comprises an array of fluid chambers (300,310), each chamber communicating with an orifice for droplet ejection, a common fluid inlet manifold (220) and a common fluid outlet manifold (210,230), and means for generating a first fluid flow into the inlet manifold, through each chamber in the array and into the outlet manifold, the fluid flow through each chamber being sufficient to prevent foreign bodies in the fluid from lodging in the orifice. Each chamber is associated with means for effecting droplet ejection from the orifice resulting in a second fluid flow simultaneously with the fluid first flow through the chamber. The resistance to flow of one of the inlet and outlet manifolds is chosen such that the pressure at a fluid inlet to any chamber in the array varies between any two chambers by an amount less than that which would give rise to significant differences in droplet ejection properties between these two chambers. The first fluid flow is greater than the maximum value of the second fluid flow.

Title: Filter aid and method for using same for reclaiming oil coolants used for metal working
Inventor: SCHNEIDER JOHN R
IPC: C10M175/00
Filed: 1992-09-29
Granted: 1994-07-07
Abstract: A filter aid material and a method for using same in a filtration system for reclaiming and maintaining coolant oil used in aluminum rolling or working processes are disclosed. The filter aid is a fibrous material which is permeated with an acid material and may be provided in either particulate form as a body feed or as a compressed filter pad. As contaminated oil flows through the filter aid, the acid acts chemically to remove aluminum fines and oxides as well as the aluminum portion of contaminating soap in the coolant oil. Use of the filter aid with acid greatly reduces the amount of conventional filter aid previously used and produces a relatively small amount of residual filter aid which can be disposed of by incineration.

Title: Annealed low emissivity coating
Inventor: ARBAB MEHRAN
IPC: C23C14/06
Filed: 1995-10-25
Granted: 1997-03-27
Abstract: A method is disclosed for improving the chemical and mechanical durability of a low emissivity coated article comprising a substrate and a low emissivity coating comprising successive layers of an antireflective metal oxide, an infrared reflective metal, a metal primer and an antireflective metal oxide. The method comprises heating the coated article at a temperature below the strain point of the substrate for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to anneal the coating to reduce structural defects and chemical reactions. Since the temperature is maintained below the strain point of the substrate, annealing the coating to improve its chemical and mechanical durability does not introduce permanent stresses into the substrate, typically glass.

Title: Hydantoin-enhanced halogen efficacy in pulp and paper applications
Inventor: SWEENY PHILIP GERDON
IPC: A01N59/00
Filed: 1995-10-13
Granted: 1998-06-04
Abstract: Free halogen sources (e.g., sodium hypochlorite and chlorine) added as slimicides in high organic component process streams such as pulp and paper processing are rendered more efficacious by the addition of selected N-hydrogen compounds (namely, 5,5-dimethylhydantoin, 5-ethyl-5-methylhydantoin, cyanuric acid, succinimide, urea, 4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolidinone, and glycouril) to the process stream. The latter compounds may be added to the process stream before or after the slimicide is added or combined with the slimicide and added directly thereto. The direct use of halogenated hydantoins has also been found to provide improved efficacy relative to free halogen sources. In addition, absorbable organic halogen by-products are reduced.

Title: A lempel-ziv data compression technique utilizing a dictionary pre-filled with frequent letter combinations, words and/or phrases
Inventor: REYNAR JEFFREY C
IPC: G06F5/00
Filed: 1997-08-04
Granted: 2000-07-13
Abstract: An adaptive compression technique which is an improvement to Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compression techniques, both as applied for purposes of reducing required storage space and for reducing the transmission time associated with transferring data from point to point. Pre-filled compression dictionaries are utilized to address the problem with prior Lempel-Ziv techniques in which the compression software starts with an empty compression dictionary, whereby little compression is achieved until the dictionary has been filled with sequences common in the data being compressed. In accordance with the invention, the compression dictionary is pre-filled, prior to the beginning of the data compression, with letter sequences, words and/or phrases frequent in the domain from which the data being compressed is drawn. The letter sequences, words, and/or phrases used in the pre-filled compression dictionary may be determined by statistically sampling text data from the same genre of text. Multiple pre-filled dictionaries may be utilized by the compression software at the beginning of the compression process, where the most appropriate dictionary for maximum compression is identified and used to compress the current data. These modifications are made to any of the known Lempel-Ziv compression techniques based on the variants detailed in 1977 and 1978 articles by Ziv and Lempel.
