Title: System and method of erasing non-volatile recording media
Inventor: JENSEN PETER
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2004-12-06
Abstract: A method and system for the erasing of data from a non-volatile recording medium includes a non-volatile recording medium controller, a non-volatile recording medium, and a CPU. A data pattern used in an erasure command is sent to the non-volatile recording medium a single time. Consequently, the amount of data transferred to the non-volatile recording medium controller is reduced to a minimum. After receiving the erasure command, the non-volatile recording medium controller overwrites an erasure area with the data pattern.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing an obturator blade for a surgical obturator includes the steps of providing an obturator blade blank, pressing the blade blank to form intersecting surfaces adjacent one side, preferably, both sides, of the blade blank and forming a cutting edge adjacent an area of intersection of the intersecting surfaces to thereby form an obturator blade for incorporation in a surgical obturator. The step of pressing preferably includes the step of coining the blade blank with at least one coining die to, e.g., form at least one arcuate surface adjacent the one side of the blade blank. The at least one arcuate surface is one of the intersecting surfaces. More preferably, the step of coining includes forming arcuate intersecting surfaces adjacent the one side of the blade blank. The arcuate intersecting surfaces may be substantially concave intersecting surfaces. Alternatively, the step of coining includes forming substantially planar intersecting surfaces adjacent the one side of the blade blank.

Abstract: After a rock anchor (1) which encompasses an anchor bolt (2), especially an expandable friction tube anchor (1), has been inserted with an end sleeve (4) first into a bore hole which has been produced previously, an adapter (6) with liquid supply and drain is placed on the sleeve (3). On the one hand, a holding pressure is produced via the holding pressure line (8) which fixes the adapter (6) on the sleeve (3). On the other hand, fluid flows into the anchor bolt (2) via the expansion line (7) and begins to fill it. The anchor bolt (2) is thereby expanded in the bore hole as a result of the pressure increase (inflation pressure) so that its outer surface adjoins the bore hole wall and thereby fixes the rock anchor (1) in the bore hole. Via a gas supply which is connected to the adapter (6), a pressurized gas, especially compressed air, can be introduced into the anchor bolt (2) before and/or after expansion thereof. The compressed gas is relaxed after removing the adapter (6) (pressure equalization) and routs the fluid located in the anchor bolt (2) almost completely out of the anchor (1).

Working profiles of the interacting teeth comprise piecewise and/or pointwise conjugate, convex at a tooth point and concave at a tooth root arc-shaped sections continuously connectable to each other or to involute sections. The interacting toothed crowns are so embodied that a phase gap of the face tooth intermating at a discrete angle from a point, where the interaction of profiles ends at a point, where the interaction of the face profiles of the next tooth pair starts. The drive is so embodied that the face tooth overlap ratio thereof is less than 1. The so improved teeth provide for high level of the contact tightness and absence of axial forces at engagement, increase the structural flexibility of the gear drive teeth in order to improve their qualities.

IPC: F24F1/02
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: A portable, potable-water generator for producing high-purity liquid water by condensation of water vapor from ambient air. The generator (125) employs an air filter (119) to remove particulates and aerosols from the incoming air. An enclosed heat absorber cools the filtered air to its dew point and collects droplets of condensate into a condensate collector (5). Before discharge, the collected dew is treated in a bacteriostat loop to destroy adventitious living organisms and to filter out undesirable and dangerous contaminants. A recirculation loop provides the ability to recirculate stored condensate, including during periods of inactivity. Further, quick disconnect fittings (55b) and variable length flexible tubing allows use of the invention to serve remote dispensers and/or appliances and allow use of municipal water treated through the apparatus in low condensate situations.

Title: Method of treating human volume expansion mediated hypertension employing resibufogenin
Inventor: PUSCHETT JULES B
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2006-07-11
Abstract: A method of treating volume expansion mediated hypertension including administering a therapeutically effective dose of resibufagenin to a patient having volume expansion mediated hyptertension. A method for the determination of the presence of volume expansion mediated hyptertension may be by determining whether there has been a substantial elevation in mannobufa-genin which may be blood-derived or urine-derived and if such elevation does exist, concluding that volume expansion mediated hypertension does exist. The method may advantageously be practiced by employing urine, blood serum or blood plasma as the body specimen in determining whether a patient has volume expansion mediated hypertension. In another embodiment, bufodieno-lide derivatives other than resibufogenin may be employed in lieu of thereof or in combination therewith. In another embodiment, resibufogenin analogues may be employed in the treatment of volume expansion mediated hypertension.
