Title: A receptor trem (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells) and uses thereof
Inventor: BOUCHON AXEL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: Novel activating receptors of the Ig super-family expressed on human myeloid cells, called TREM(s) (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells) are provided. Specifically, two (2) members of TREMs, TREM-1 and TREM-2 are disclosed. TREM-1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed selectively on blood neutrophils and a subset of monocytes but not on lymphocytes and other cell types and is upregulated by bacterial and fungal products. Use of TREM-1 in treatment and diagnosis of various inflammatory diseases are also provided. TREM-2 is also a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed selectively on peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) but not on granulocytes or monocytes. DC stimulation via TREM-2 leads to DC  maturation and resistance to apoptosis, and induces strong upregulation of CCR7 and subsequent chemotaxis toward macrophage inflammatory protein 3-~. TREM-2 has utility in modulating host immune responses in various immune disorders, including autoimmune diseases and allergic disorders.

Title: Utility standard repair device and methods
Inventor: HADDEN DOUGLAS
IPC: E04G23/02
Filed: 2002-03-04
Abstract: A square riser with corner threaded rods is used to repair utility standards. The riser threaded rods are bolts with washers welded to the bolt heads. The utility standard base is removed from its footing with four threaded rods, the riser slid down over the footing threaded rods and welded to them. Nuts on the footing threaded rods are used to level the riser. The riser can if desired be filled with poured concrete, to strengthen and protect it. The utility standard base is then slid down over the riser threaded rods and secured by nuts. A sleeve made of two paired half shells snugly fitting the bottom of the utility standard above the base can be welded to the utility standard. Reinforcing brackets are sometimes welded to the middles of the half shells and to the standard base. On occasion both methods of repair may be combined. It is far cheaper to repair than replace utility standards. The methods and material meet all North American standards for utility standard repair.

Title: Low inductance electrical machine
Inventor: TUPPER CHRISTOPHER N
IPC: H02K21/44
Filed: 2000-10-18
Abstract: A low inductance electrical machine (1) that may be used as an alternator or motor with low armature inductance is disclosed. Arrangements of complementary armature windings (40A, 42A) are presented in which the fluxes induced by currents in the armature windings (40) effectively cancel leading to low magnetic energy storage within the machine (1). This leads to low net flux levels, low core losses, low inductance and reduced tendency toward magnetic saturation. The inclusion of additional gaps (54, 56) in the magnetic circuit allows for independent adjustment of air gap geometry and armature inductance.  Separately excited field arrangements (8) are disclosed that allow rotor (22, 24, 25) motion to effect brush-less alternator or brush-less motor operation.  An exemplary geometry includes a stator (2) including two annular rings (4, 6) and a concentric field coil (8) together with a rotor structure (22, 24, 25) separated from the stator (2) by four air gaps (50, 52, 54, 56).
