Patent JP-3305319-B2 (JP)
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1992-11-20
Granted: 2002-07-22
Abstract: Inhalation device with a vessel containing the inhalation agent and a lid which contributes to the evaporation and distribution of the inhalation agent. The lid has an essentially central opening (3) and several openings (4) arranged essentially annularly around the central opening (3). The opening cross-section of the central opening (3) is essentially equal to the sum of the opening cross-sections of the annularly arranged openings (4). The central opening (3) projects deeper into the vessel (1) than the annularly arranged openings and thus promotes evaporation of the inhalation material. The vessel (1) has an inner vessel (11) and a cavity (1c) between the vessel (1) and the inner vessel (11). The cavity (1c) is filled with a heat-insulating material (1b) and contains, in particular, a tetradecanol (C14H30O). <IMAGE>

IPC: G01N23/10
Filed: 1996-09-27
Granted: 2005-07-06
Abstract: A container inspection system for inspecting a moving container includes a radiation source positioned to direct radiation at the moving container. A radiation detector is positioned to receive a portion of the radiation from the radiation source that is not absorbed or blocked by the moving container and to generate electrical signals in response thereto. Processing circuitry produces multi-dimensional image data for the moving container based on the electrical signals generated by the radiation detector, and compares at least a first portion of the multi-dimensional image data to a corresponding portion of the multi-dimensional image data for a standard container. Thereafter, the processing circuitry determines, based on a result of the comparison, one or more characteristics of the container from the set of characteristics including the fill level of the container, whether the container is underfilled, whether the container is overfilled, whether the container is properly pressurized, and whether the container is sealed.

Title: Azimuth drive for wind energy plants
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D11/00
Filed: 2001-05-09
Granted: 2005-06-02
Abstract: Wind power installations generally have an active drive for wind direction tracking. The active drive rotates the machine housing of the wind power installation in such a way that the rotor blades of the rotor are oriented in the direction of the wind. That drive which is required for wind direction tracking is generally an azimuthal drive which is usually disposed with the associated azimuthal bearings between the pylon top and the machine housing. One displacement drive is sufficient when small wind power installations are involved, while larger wind power installations are generally equipped with a plurality of azimuthal drives. The object of the invention is to improve the azimuthal drive for wind power installations so that the above-indicated problems are eliminated, to provide a structurally simple azimuthal drive, to ensure uniform load distribution for each azimuthal drive, and to prevent unwanted torque fluctuations in the individual drives. A wind power installation comprising a machine housing which accommodates a rotor with at least one rotor blade and a displacement device for displacement of the machine housing for desired orientation of the rotor in the direction of the wind, wherein the displacement device has as a drive a three-phase asynchronous motor which for displacement of the machine housing is acted upon by a three-phase current of variable frequency.

Inventor: HARRINGTON CHARLES ROBERT
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2002-01-15
Granted: 2006-12-07
Abstract: Disclosed are methods of proteolytically converting a precursor protein (e.g. tau) to a product fragment (e.g. a 12 kd fragment) in a stable cell line, wherein the precursor protein is associated with a disease state in which the precursor protein aggregates pathologically (e.g. a tauopathy), and the methods comprise:(a) providing a stable cell line transfected with nucleic acid encoding: (i) a template fragment of the precursor protein such that the template fragment is constitutively expressed in the cell at a level which is not toxic to the cell; and (ii) the precursor protein, which protein is inducibly expressed in the cell in response to a stimulus, whereby interaction of the template fragment with the precursor protein causes a conformational change in the precursor protein such as to cause aggregation and proteolytic processing of the precursor protein to the product fragment. The method is preferably used to screen for modulators of the aggregation process by monitoring production (or modulation of production) of the product band or bands. Also provided are materials for used in the assays, plus medicaments, and related uses and processes, based on compounds which show high activity in the assay of the invention e.g. reduced diaminophenothiazines.
