Abstract: A bioabsorbable sealant plug that expands in response to contact with moisture in a mammalian body is optimally positioned in a biopsy tract to seal the biopsy tract when a biopsy procedure is completed. In a first method, the leading end of the sealant plug is advanced through the lumen of a coaxial needle by a plunger until a leading end of a supporting leg abuts the patient's skin surface. A second method is performed with a pistol-shaped tool having a trigger that enables adjustment of the plunger. A third embodiment includes a plunger having a bifurcated end that grasps the plug. A fourth embodiment has a turning nut that causes compression of a gasket that clamps down on the plug. A supporting rod and coaxial needle are in parallel relation to one another in a fifth embodiment.

Abstract: A merchandise locking device for retrofit attachment to a product display hook installed on a merchandise display panel. The locking device attaches without tools to the upper wire arm of the display hook for pivoting movement between "lock" and "open" positions. A laterally opening recess in the locking device receives the lower arm of the display hook and a locking arm, rotatably mounted in the body of the locking device by a rotor element, closes the recess to lock the device to the lower arm and prevent the removal of merchandise therefrom. A simple key carried by store personnel enables the rotor to be released to free the locking device from the lower arm and permit the removal of merchandise. The locking device consists of four elements, including the key, and can be manufactured at very low cost, suitable for mass merchandise applications. Simple changes in rotor components enable the locking device to be operated by different keys, which may be color coded with the locking devices or components thereof. A bracket is also provided for retrofit attachment to the display hook, to prevent bodily removal of the hook and its contents from the display panel.

Title: Toroidal internal combustion engine
Inventor: HOOSE KARL V
IPC: F01C9/00
Filed: 2004-07-22
Granted: 2012-06-12
Abstract: Toroidal internal combustion engine comprising two concentric engine rings.  Intake valves are assembled in two faces of one set of pistons and exhaust valves in two faces of the second set of pistons. The intake-valve pistons are fixedly attached to one of the engine rings and the exhaust-valve pistons to the other engine ring. The face of one intake-valve piston and the face of one adjacent exhaust-valve piston form boundaries of an engine chamber. Combustion forces on the piston faces force the two concentric engine rings to counter-rotate. The intake-valve piston and the adjacent exhaust-valve piston sweep the same chamber volume at different strokes of the engine cycle. The engine is constructed of CRC material and mounted on a central shaft, with the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold mounted on each side of the engine, providing a lightweight, self-lubricating, highly fuel efficient, and dynamically balanced engine.

Title: Water heater with cross-sectionally elongated raw fuel jet pilot orifice
Inventor: FAN HAIBO
IPC: F23D14/72
Filed: 2007-01-22
Granted: 2009-10-13
Abstract: A radiant gas burner within the combustion chamber of a water heater has a pilot flame created using a cross-sectionally elongated raw fuel jet that impinges on an interior surface portion of a flame holding outer burner wall portion, representatively of a metal wire mesh material, and is mixed within the burner with combustion air delivered thereto from outside the combustion chamber. The resulting fuel/air mixture passes outwardly through the impinged upon mesh wall portion, which functions as a pilot flame stabilizing structure, and is ignited to form a pilot flame on the exterior of the burner body. A thermocouple portion of a clogging detection system senses a change in the pilot flame shape caused by particulate clogging of the metal mesh material and responsively terminates further gas supply to the water heater.

Title: Continuous production of an instant corn flour for snack and tortilla, using a neutral enzymatic precooking
Inventor: RUBIO FELIPE A
IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 2005-10-27
Granted: 2011-04-05
Abstract: Precooked and partially-debranned corn flour is continuously produced by an enzymatic precooking using a commercial blend of xylanase, endoamylase and endoprotease as a processing aid. The low-temperature and neutral-pH precooking with an endoenzyme solution effected a partial bran hydrolysis while avoiding excessive pregelatinization, reduced washing and corn solid loss in wastewater. Moisture content is then stabilized, followed by milling and drying at a high-temperature and short-time to produce a controlled gelatinization and denaturation in the ground kernel, cooling and further drying the dried-ground particle. A fine particle size or flour is separated and recovered from the coarser particle which is also segregated to isolate a partially hydrolysed bran fraction for integral flour or animal feed diet, remilling and sieving the coarser particle to produce an instant corn flour for snack, and admixing the fine particle with lime to obtain a masa flour for tortilla and other corn foods.
