Granted: 2011-08-02
Abstract: The pitch control mechanism (controlling the angular position) for stator blades in a turbojet may be adjusted separately for two adjacent stages of blades controlled by a common actuator means (10). To achieve this, the synchronization bar (9) located between the mechanisms leading to the two stages is inclined, this inclination being determined by a pin (22) and groove (23) connection with the casing, while another pin (26) and groove (27) connection is arranged between the synchronization bar (9) and one of the mechanisms. Strongly non-linear displacement laws between the two mechanisms may thus be controlled depending on the shapes and directions of the grooves (Figure 2).

Abstract: The present invention provides a bacterium having a genome that is genetically engineered to be at least 2 to about 20% smaller than the genome of its native parent strain. A bacterium with a smaller genome can produce a commercial product more efficiently. The present invention also provides methods for deleting genes and other DNA sequences from a bacterial genome. The methods provide precise deletions and seldom introduces mutations to the genomic DNA  sequences around the deletion sites. Thus, the methods can be used to generate a series of deletions in a bacterium without increasing the possibility of undesired homologous recombination within the genome. In addition, some of the methods provided by the present invention can also be used for replacing a region of a bacterial genome with a desired DNA sequence.

Title: Single jaw wedge dead end
Inventor: DE FRANCE ROBERT
IPC: F16G11/04
Filed: 2004-08-19
Granted: 2011-10-18
Abstract: A wedge dead end employs a single wedge-shaped jaw movable in an angled jaw guide between a rearward open position and a forward gripping position. The single jaw wedge dead end defines a fixed cable trough generally parallel to a lower gripping surface of the wedge-shaped jaw.

Title: Apparatus for reducing the effects of general anesthetics
Inventor: ORR JOSEPH A
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2004-04-20
Granted: 2014-10-07
Abstract: An apparatus for reversing inhaled anesthesia, which is configured to be positioned along a breathing circuit or anesthesia delivery circuit, includes a filter for removing one or more anesthetic agents from gases passing therethrough, as well as a component for elevating CO2 levels in gases that are to be inhaled by an individual. The apparatus is configured to be positioned between a Y connector of the breathing circuit and the portion of the breathing circuit that interfaces with the individual. The CO2 level-elevating component facilitates an increase in the ventilation of the individual without resulting in a significant decrease in the individual's PaCO2 level and, thus, a decrease in the rate at which blood flows through the individual's brain. The apparatus may cause an increase in a rate of the anesthetized individual's ventilation while causing the individual to inhale gases with elevated amounts of CO2 and while filtering anesthetic agents from such gases.
