Title: Electric egg cooker
Inventor: DAMRATH JOACHIM
IPC: A47J29/00
Filed: 2001-02-20
Abstract: When eggs are boiled in an electric egg boiler there is the risk that egg content escapes through openings in the shell and dirties the appliance. The aim of the invention is to provide easy maintenance and to easily clean the dirty components in such a case. According to prior art, the electric components (2, 6, 10, 11) cannot be easily cleaned.  According to the invention, all electric components (2, 6, 10, 11) of the egg boiler are arranged above the position of the eggs (1) in such a way that essentially and only the mechanic components which are situated next to or below said eggs (1) become dirty, whereby said eggs (1) are to be boiled and said mechanic components can be removed in an advantageous manner and are optionally dish washer proof. Maintenance of an electric egg boiler is thus essentially simplified.

Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for treating surfaces of metallic strip material (1), especially for pickling rolled material, in a treatment channel (2), with a pickling medium (3) containing acid. Jets (4) are set in the direction in which the strip is transported (5) at the entran ce to the channel (2a) and in the opposite direction that in which the strip is  transported at the exit of the channel (2b). The aim of the invention is to produce a closed liquid film with some turbulence on the surface of the stri p. Said film should be maintained as far as the exit (2b) of the channel. To th is end, additional jets (4) between the channel entrance (2a) and the channel exit (2b) are oriented in the opposite direction to the direction in which t he strip is transported (5) and the pickling medium (3) is further delayed in flowing out at the channel exit (2b) by mechanical resistance devices (7) situated in the path of the transport channel (6).

Patent CA-2404890-A1 (CA)
Title: Rna sequence-specific mediators of rna interference
Inventor: ZAMORE PHILLIP D
IPC: C07H/
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a Drosophila in vitro system which was used  to demonstrate that dsRNA is processed to RNA segments 21-23 nucleotides (nt ) in length. Furthermore, when these 21-23 nt fragments are purified and added  back to Drosophila extracts, they mediate RNA interference in the absence of  long dsRNA. Thus , these 21-23 nt fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNA degradation. A molecular signal, which may be their specifi c length, must be present in these 21-23 nt fragments to recruit cellular factors involved in RNAi. This present invention encompasses these 21-23 nt fragments and their use for specifically inactivating gene function. The use  of these fragments (or chemically synthesized oligonucleotides of the same o r similar nature) enables the targeting of specific mRNAs for degradation in mammalian cells, where the use of long dsRNAs to elicit RNAi is usually not practical, presumably because of the deleterious effects of the interferon response. This specific targeting of a particular gene function is useful in  functional genomic and therapeutic applications.

IPC: C08L23/08
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: In consideration of that burning a PVC-based tape causes occurrence of dioxine, a nonhalogenated tape having physical properties and electric properties, which are comparable to a PVC-based tacking tape, and replaceable to the PVC-based tacking tape is desired. Simple replacement of PVC to a polyethylene -based synthetic resin causes a bad hand cutting performance. Hence, the composition of the synthetic resin composition is improved to have 100 weight parts of a polypropylene-based resin, 1 to 70 weight parts of a polyethylene -based resin, 1 to 200 weight parts of an inorganic filler with a range from 0.5 µ m to 10 µ m of an average grain size, and 0.1 to 50 weight parts of an compatibilizer to form a film. In addition, the film is drawn 1.05 to 3 times in an MD and thickness of the film is kept to 0.03 to 0.5 mm.

Title: System for monitoring and controlling the operation of a single serve beverage brewer
Inventor: STOKES PETER L
IPC: A47J31/32
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: An automated beverage brewing system includes a liquid storage tank and a metering chamber. The metering chamber is at least partially submerged beneath a standing level of liquid in the storage tank. The chamber includes a sealable liquid inlet port communicating with the interior of the storage tank beneath the standing level of liquid. The chamber also includes a liquid outlet port and an aperture that receives compressed air, wherein the compressed air forces liquid from the liquid output port of the chamber for use in preparing a brewed beverage. A pump provides the compresses air and a controller monitors a pressure signal value indicative of the air pressure in the metering chamber. The controller commands the pump on to commence flow of liquid from the metering chamber. The controller then commands the pump off several seconds after detecting a drop in air pressure within the chamber. A  baffle is affixed to the distal end of a shaft, which is moved between a first and second position. In the second position the baffle seals a section of the storage tank to form the metering chamber. The system may also include a second brew pump that allows a user to costumize the quantity of liquid delivered from the brewing system for a stronger brewed beverage.
