Title: Continuous separation process
Inventor: GERHOLD CLARENCE GEORGE
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 1983-08-05
Granted: 1987-10-01
Abstract: An extract component is separated from a raffinate component contained in a feed mixture by a process in which a unidirectional fluid flow system is maintained through a series of separating units through which the components travel at different rates. A component concentration distribution is established within the system of units and divided into specific zones. Feed and displacement fluid are passed into the inlets of two of the units and extract and raffinate are taken as the entire streams from outlets of two of the units all at appropriate points on the component concentration distribution. Other inlets and outlets of the various units lying in the same zone are interconnected. At the appropriate times the inlets and outlets are shifted so as to simulate movement of the units in a direction co-current with the fluid flow and thereby enable the inlets and outlets to continually lie in the appropriate zones. Zones may be combined as zone pairs, each such pair thereupon being considered a single continuous zone.

Title: Methods of detection of amyloidogenic proteins
Inventor: KRISHNAMURTHY GIRIJA
IPC: G01N33/15
Filed: 2000-12-01
Granted: 2004-06-24
Abstract: A method/assay for detecting various aggregated forms of amyloid peptide using amyloid-specific spectroscopic probes, such as Congo red and related analogs, is described. Such an assay could be used to assess the aggregation state of the peptide in the presence of other potential inhibitors of fibrillogenesis, providing a useful model by which to test inhibitors of aggregation in in vitro models. Results of such an assay can be useful in determining the stage at which the process of aggregation can be intervened to reduce the toxicity of amyloid peptide to neuronal cells. In specific examples, circular dichroism, UV absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy are each used to evaluate the aggregation form of beta-amyloid peptide.

Title: Magnets
Inventor: LAUBE HANS-JUERGEN
IPC: H01F7/02
Filed: 1992-07-08
Granted: 1995-02-16
Abstract: A magnetic body (121) consists of a plurality of individual bodies (101) each of which is an individual magnet whose exposed base surface (103) is constructed as a north pole or as a south pole and whose other surfaces, which are covered by materials that are magnetically not present and by a separating material, screen the other pole. Since, for example, the south poles of all the individual magnet bodies (101) are located inside the main body (121), the totality of the region at a distance from the surface (103) of the main body (121) represents a north pole. If the north poles and south poles are interchanged, a magnet body having a monopolar surface representing a south pole can, of course, be produced. The supporting arrangement has radially magnetised ring magnets which are arranged one above the other axially in the shaft and, on the stator part, annular, likewise radially magnetised, magnets which are opposite the magnets and consist of a large number of assembled other surfaces which, with the exception of the "effective" surface are, however, screened by a separating material. For axial support, annular, axially magnetised magnets are placed on the shaft, and analogous, annular, axially magnetised magnets are placed on discs on the housing with a mutual separation, the construction of which magnets likewise consists of encapsulated individual magnets. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1991-07-18
Abstract: A gasoline engine driven flexible line trimmer is provided with a modularly constructed power head section which significantly facilitates the original manufacturing assembly, and subsequent service disassembly, of the power head. In a clutch drive embodiment thereof, the power head has four readily separable modules - an engine module comprising a main engine shroud to which the engine is internally secured; a fan housing module; a starter module comprising a starter housing and a recoil starter mechanism retained therein; and a coupling module comprising a clutch housing carrying therein structure for operatively interconnecting the engine's clutch to the flexible drive shaft disposed within the trimmer shaft. In a direct drive version thereof, the power head has two separable modules - the engine module and a combined fan housing, starter and coupling module defined by a single housing within which the starter and coupling structure is carried. The main shroud is provided with a specially designed wall section which supports the engine, defines a closure wall of its crankcase, forms an air-fuel mixture passage for a carburetor externally supported on the wall section and supports a reed valve within the crankcase. The shroud defines an external protective recess in which the carburetor is positioned and, in one embodiment, defines a portion of the engine's fuel tank. Pull rope installation in the starter mechanism is facilitated and made safer by pulley locking and retaining structure incorporated in the starter module, and improved air filter element sealing is provided by virtue of a specially designed air filter housing and choke plate assembly associated with the carburetor. Shaft vibration transmitted to the trimmer user through the supporting shoulder strap structure is significantly reduced by a specially designed resilient strap connector assembly securable to the trimmer shaft.

Title: System for data capture, normalization, data event processing, communication and operator interface
Inventor: GRINTER RICHARD C
IPC: G06F17/40
Filed: 2000-01-25
Granted: 2003-09-11
Abstract: A data and object monitoring and response system comprising a three tier infrastructure for optimization of interoperability and task specific adaptability. The system gathers information from a plurality of distributed data gathering units and assimilates, processes, analyzes and distributes the gathered data within a common system with rule based data processing for coordinated response to the data. The data gathering units can be locally distributed or widely disbursed. The information gathered can be real-time collection of event data, historical data, systems monitoring, or other data. Regardless of the specific nature of the data, the system taught in the present invention, addresses a number of common problems associated with the collection, assimilation, processing of data. By dividing the system into a three tier interactive structure, the data can be gathered, evaluated and processed independently and efficiently and appropriate response can be effectively implemented. The processing tier, which includes the rules for analysis of the data, exists independent of the operator interface and data gathering tiers. A wide diversity of data collection equipment can be accommodated without modification of the operator interface or the processing tier. Processing rules can be modified without altering the collection and handling of data, and a commonality of data structure eliminates multiple polling of collected data sets.
