Title: Apparatus and method for circular vortex air flow material grinding
Inventor: POLIFKA FRANCIS D
IPC: F26B17/10
Filed: 2000-03-16
Abstract: A material grinding apparatus (10) includes an annular upper enclosure (12) defining an upper chamber (34) into which material to be ground is introduced from above, a conical lower enclosure (14) defining a lower chamber (36) and supported in tandem with the upper enclosure (12), and one or more angled slots (56) defined in the sidewall of the upper enclosure (12) through which compressed air is introduced relatively circumferentially into the upper chamber (34) so as to generate a circular vortex flow of air and material in the upper enclosure (12) for grinding and drying to take place. The air flow is exhausted by a pipe (92) through an upper end of the upper enclosure (12) and the dried ground material is discharged through an open lower end of the lower enclosure (14). The lower enclosure (14) is a downward continuation and extension of the upper enclosure (12) so as not to extend upwardly into nor past the upper chamber (34) thereof.

Title: Herbicidal compositions containing dmso
Inventor: SMALE BERNARD
IPC: A01N41/10
Filed: 1995-09-01
Abstract: The addition of DMSO to herbicidal compositions makes it possible to decrease the amount of active herbicidal agent required for desired activity without loss of effectiveness against target plants. The most preferred compositions for application to the plates contain 1-2.5% DMSO. However, in some instances, it may be advisable to use as much as 3% DMSO. The addition of the DMSO also results in increased stability to the composition.
Patent AU-3915100-A (AU)
Title: Winged i.v. set
Inventor: SHAW THOMAS J
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: A retractable winged I.V. set has a slidable retraction body mounted in a hollow chamber of a housing. The retraction body has a hollow needle fixed in its front end and a tube connector for passing fluid from an external reservoir through the needle. The housing has a pivoting releasable latch preferably configured as dual opposed latches that are biased to normally encroach into the chamber through an opening in the wall of the housing. A catch portion on the retraction body is contacted by an encroaching latch portion to hold the retraction body in an unretracted position with the needle exposed for use. When the latches are released, a spring drives the retraction body to the back of the chamber and withdraws the needle into the housing.

Title: Chrominance phase correction of a colour composite video signal
Inventor: ORSBURN MICHAEL L
IPC: H04N9/64
Filed: 1985-04-16
Abstract: A phase responsive video parameter control system operative for correcting hue, saturation, and luminance of a phase encoded component of a composite video signal. A digital phase detector detects the instantaneous hue of the video image, and provides a signal which selects which one of a plurality of color intervals or bands the detected instantaneous hue falls in. Prestored digital correction values associated with the selected color interval are retrieved from memory and converted into'analog correction signals which modify the phase, amplitude, and DC level of the composite video signal. New digital correction values, which reflect operator control panel adjustments, may be loaded into memory during the vertical retrace interval, thereby allowing frame-by-frame color correction.

Title: Superagonists and antagonists of h il-6, and 3d modelling method for their selection
Inventor: CILIBERTO GENNARO
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1995-12-13
Abstract: It is known that the ligands of the group of cytokines similar to Interleuk 6 (IL-6), that is Oncostatin M (OSM), Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) and Interleukin 11 (IL-11), induce the formation of a receptor complex of which the membrane molecule gp 130 is a part. The present invention refers to a methodology for selecting superagonists, antagonists and superantagonists of human interleukin-6 comprising the following operations: comparing the amino acid sequence of bovine granulocyte colony stimulating factor (bG-CSF) with the sequence of said hormone; and on the basis of the above comparison, formulating a three dimensional model of said hormone, which allows the identification of residues that form the site of interaction with the specific receptor (Site 1) and those that constitute the site of interaction with gp 130 (Site 2) respectively. The invention allows the identification of these sites in human interleukin-6 and the isolation of variants having, with respect to the wild type hormone, a greater affinity for the specific receptor (superagonists and superantagonists) or affinity for gp 130 reduced or abolished (antagonists and superantagonists). A scheme illustrating the methodology applied to identify site 1 and site 2 in the case of human interleukin-6 is disclosed. The invention also describes the obtaining of specific superagonists and superantagonists of interleukin-6 and the use of superantagonists as low dose inhibitors of the growth of human myeloma cells dependent on wild type interleukin-6.

Title: Computer controlled smart phacoemulsification method and apparatus
Inventor: COSTIN JOHN A
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1996-02-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating on the human eye detects changes in load, more specifically, mechanical impedance, of the transducer (300) and controls aspiration based on the load changes. A change from a lower load to a higher load indications that harder tissue is being encountered and accordingly causes aspiration amount to increase. Conversely, a change from a higher load to a lower load indicates that aspiration amount should be quickly decreased since the tissue which is being encountered is softer. One way to detect the impedance is by a sensor (1008), i.e., a piezoelectric element coupled to the operating needle detecting the movement thereof. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of sequestering carbon dioxide
Inventor: MARKELS MICHAEL JR
IPC: A01G15/00
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: A method of sequestering carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in an ocean comprising testing an area of the surface of a deep open ocean in order to determine both the nutrients that are missing and the diffusion coefficient, applying to the area a first fertilizer that comprises a missing nutrient, and measuring the amount of carbon dioxide that has been sequestered. The application of the first fertilizer is preferably in a spiral pattern which results in a patch of fertilizer. The concentration of the fertilizer preferably does not vary by more than about 50% within about two days of the local application. The concentration of the fertilizer at the center of the patch preferably does not decrease through diffusion by more than about 5% during a time period of about 20 days after the application of the patch of fertilizer. The method may further comprise applying additional fertilizers, and reporting the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered. The method preferably limits zooplankton and fish growth by applying each fertilizer in pulses. Each fertilizer releases each nutrient over time in the photic zone and in a form that does not precipitate.

Date Feb. 5, 1981.The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for producing a draftable staple fibre sliver (12) from a strand (12) of endless filaments, which is united and condensed for further processing. According to the invention the zone of the united and condensed sliver, from which, due to the cutting process, fibre points stick away inclined and pointed towards the front and outside, is inserted into the inside of the sliver. In this manner the detrimental effects, caused by the fibre points sticking out, are eliminated. Particularly the defective points in the end product produced, caused by these fibre points, are eliminated, fly waste generation in the processing room is reduced and, owing to the reduction of the danger of clogging of the fibre sliver guiding funnels, the operational reliability of the subsequent processing machines is improved.
