Title: Non-contact rotary and linear sensor devices
Inventor: WATTS LESLIE M
IPC: G01D5/34
Filed: 2004-10-18
Abstract: A position sensor device that produces a variable output voltage when using a light emitting diode, such as an infrared light emitting diode (IR-LED), and a phototransistor further includes the use of a semi-transparent piece of material having a varying thickness that passes between the IR-LED and the phototransistor. The output voltage provided by the phototransistor varies depending on the amount of light collected by the phototransistor, which is controlled by the amount of light passing through the semi-transparent material. The amount of light passing through the transparent material depends on the thickness of the semi-transparent material. With the invention, the semi-transparent material may pass between the IR-LED and phototransistor in either a linear or rotary manner.

Title: Bidirectional belt tensioning approach
Inventor: PONG WILLIAM Y
IPC: F16H7/02
Filed: 2004-11-18
Abstract: A live center belt-drive uses a biasing moment to induce automatically adjusted and reoriented tensioning resultant force in a belt and pulley system. Embodiments have a motor mounted on a plate freely pivotably mounted to a frame of a device in which the tensioner is used. The motor is connected to a drive pulley and drives a driven pulley via a belt reeved about the drive and driven pulleys. A first biasing mechanism biases the drive pulley away from the driven pulley, thus providing the biasing moment M bias. Embodiments use a linear spring providing a biasing force F bias and mounted a distance d bias from the pivot point to provide the biasing moment M bias about the pivot point. Alternatively, embodiments use a torsion spring mounted about the pivot point to provide the biasing moment M bias. Embodiments can also employ a second biasing mechanism to bias the driven pulley away from the drive pulley.

Abstract: A container assembly for use as a sampling device for microorganisms includes a base member and a lid removably coupled to the base member. The lid includes a top wall and a side wall depending from the top wall. The base member has a side wall with an outer surface that complements the inner surface of the side wall of the lid. A plurality of lugs are formed on the outer surface of the base member to provide a gripping force to secure the lid to the base member. The gripping force is provided by the surface area of the lugs so that the lid is secured to the base member while enabling the lid to be readily removed from the base member without sticking or binding.      The lugs are odd in number, are uniformly spaced around the side wall of the base member, and are dimensioned to provide a point of contact with the outer wall of the lid causing the wall of the lid to flex outwardly at the point of contact so that the distortion and flexing of the wall of the lid provide a resilient gripping force against the lugs of the base member. The lugs are spaced apart a distance so that the wall of the lid is able to flex inwardly between adjacent points of contact between the lugs and the wall of the lid when the lid is distorted. In one embodiment, three lugs are provided and uniformly spaced apart so that no two lugs are diametrically opposed from one another and a point of contact and outward deflection of the wall of the lid is diametrically opposed to an area of inward deflection of the wall of the lid.

Title: Use of the corticoliberin-urocortin system in the treatment of inflammatory diseases
Inventor: MARGIORIS ANDREW N
IPC: A61K31/506
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor-1 (RI) antagonists and/or CRH-R2 receptor agonists for the treatmen t of inflammatory diseases via regulation of monocyte / macrophage cell activation, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammatory cytokine production. As CRH system we define natural and synthetic CRH and urocortin (UCN) agonists and antagonists for the CRH-R1 and CRH-R2 receptors and their subtypes as well as the CRH-binding protein (BP), a CRH pseudo receptor. The invention is directed towards pharmacological intervention for the amelioration or treatment of inflammatory diseases using the CR. system- mediated control of monocyte / macrophage cells which play a key role in initiating and maintaining the inflammatory response via production of pro- inflammatory cytokines such as is the interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. By the term inflammation we define the response of an organism to noxious endogenous or exogenous stimuli causing tissue injury. Inflammation is a host defence mechanism, which might harm the de~fending organism. The invention also provides methods for the in vitro an d in vivo evaluation of natural and synthetic CRH system modulators for the control of the monocyte / macrophage system.
