Title: Thyroxine and its use in weight loss and obesity treatment
Inventor: NICOLAOU ANDREW
IPC: A61K31/192
Filed: 2008-02-25
Abstract: Thyroxine was used at doses ranging from 50 micrograms to 100 micrograms depending on cardiac fitness and age to reduce body fat and thereby induce weight loss. Patients above 50 years of age and with no pre-existing cardiac conditions where given 50 micrograms once daily and those less than 50 with no cardiac conditions were given 100 micrograms once daily. After 6 weeks the body fat proportions in a younger patient group dropped from an average body fat of 27% to 9% and weight loss was dramatic. In an older patient group body fat proportion which was initially at an average of 41% dropped to 22% while weight loss on average was 14kg per person.

Title: A Random Orbit Sander
Inventor: ROEHM HEIKO
IPC: B23Q11/00
Filed: 2008-03-25
Abstract: In a hand-held power tool 10 having a rotating tool 14 through which air is conveyed, the conveyed air is deflected at air-directing surfaces 36. As a result, the conveyed air serves, as a means for changing the rotational speed of the tool such as as braking means for decelerating or accelerating means. In the preferred embodiment the hand held power tool is a random orbital sander 10 and the rotating tool is a sanding plate 14 which comprises obliquely arranged extraction holes 26 such that the air-directing surfaces 36 are formed by the walls of the extraction holes. The extraction holes may run obliquely in the rotational direction of the motor so that the air flowing through acts as a braking means when the tool is removed from the work surface.

Title: Method for generating transverse vibrations in a well bore tool.
Inventor: DAVIS LANCE STEPHEN
IPC: E21B28/00
Filed: 2009-06-04
Abstract: Transverse vibrations are generated in a wellbore tool by rotating an eccentric weight 1. The rotation is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the well bore tool 2. The offset mass can be rotated by fluid flow through a turbine, a hydraulic motor system, an electric motor or from a drive at the rig surface. The vibration frequency can be controlled by varying flow rate anddensity of fluid flowing through the tool, the weight and position of the eccentric weight and the blade profile and number of power stages of the turbine. The method is used to encourage movement of well bore solids away from a bottom hole assembly.
