Title: Hand-held device for marking a golf ball
Inventor: POWNEY STEVEN
IPC: B41F17/00
Filed: 2005-03-17
Abstract: A hand-held device for marking a golf ball has a handle and first and second forks for holding the golf ball between the forks. The golf ball is frictionally secured between a circular aperture in the first fork and a concave rubber gripper rotationally mounted to the second fork. A rotation wheel drives the concave rubber gripper to rotate the golf ball. A marker holder is affixed to the handle. In operation, a marker is loaded into the marker holder and uncapped. A golf ball is fitted between the aperture in the first fork and the concave rubber gripper. The rotation wheel is turned to rotate the wheel, thereby causing the marker to circumscribe a mark around the circumference of the golf ball. Optionally, the golf ball can be rotated ninety degrees to circumscribe a second mark orthogonal to the first mark.

Title: Methods for the protection of memory and cognition
Inventor: CALI BRIAN M
IPC: A61K31/55
Filed: 2004-06-01
Abstract: The invention features certain compounds useful in the treatment of memory disorders, i.e., they reduce or delay memory loss or they enhance memory retention. Because certain of the compounds do not substantially inhibit either COX-1 or COX-2 at therapeutically relevant doses, these compounds are far less likely to cause gastrointestinal ulceration than is indomethacin, which is known to inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2. Certain of the compounds inhibit the activity of DAO at therapeutically relevant doses. Among the memory disorders that can be treated are AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI; a common precursor to AD), and memory loss or cognitive impairment associated with vascular dementias, amnesia, dementia, AIDS dementia, Huntington's Disease, hydrocephalus, depression, Pick's Disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Syndrome, electroconvulsive therapy, or Parkinson's Disease.

Patent CA-2542676-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HERLT CHRISTIAN
IPC: F23G7/10
Filed: 2004-10-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a gasification boiler for the combustion of solid fuels, in particular bales of straw, for heating purposes and for the production of hot water. The inventive boiler is characterised by optimal combustion and ash separation. The aim of the invention is to carry out the combustion of small particles in the most complete manner possible and to achieve an almost total separation of the ashes from the combustion gas upstream of the heat exchangers. To achieve this, according to the first feature of claim 1, the combustion and gasification chamber comprises lateral depressions that are configured next to the central grating and combustion chamber. Coarse particles collect in said depressions, leaving the fine particles to be carried with the combustion gas into the combustion chamber.  According to the second feature of said claim, a cylindrical combustion chamber, configured as an additional component, is connected to the outlet of the combustion chamber. Said secondary combustion chamber significantly increases the combustion time, allowing small particles and partially oxidised gases to burn completely. According to the third feature, a cylindrical ash separator, configured as an additional component, is connected to the combustion chamber.
