Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining in a person's exhalation air the concentration of a specific substance in the blood by measuring the concentration of said substance and the concentration of water vapour in the exhalation air and utilizing a known relationship between these concentrations. When the method is applied the exhalation air is exhaled freely in a defined air volume having a predetermined composition, and said concentrations are measured in this air volume. The apparatus for working the method comprises a device (16) which defines a space for receiving the exhalation air, which has two mutually opposite openings through which the space communicates with the surrounding air, and means (18, 22, 23) for selective quantitative detection of said substance in the air in the defined space.

Title: Integrated vacuum panel insulation for thermal cabinet structures
Inventor: HAWORTH GEORGE JEFFREY
IPC: F25D23/06
Filed: 1999-06-15
Granted: 2003-04-08
Abstract: A cabinet structure is thermally insulated by placing a first insulation material directly upon a surface of the cabinet structure and then covering the insulation material with a barrier sheet that is affixed along an annular edge portion thereof to the cabinet structure. In this manner, the insulation material is retained within a chamber defined between the barrier sheet and the cabinet structure. This chamber is then evacuated to a low pressure, generally in the order of .1-10 mm Hg, and sealed. This integrated vacuum panel insulation arrangement is particularly advantageous for use in constructing entire thermal cabinets by providing a blank that defines multiple walls of the cabinet; arranging the insulation on the inner surfaces of the blank; placing one or more barrier sheets over the insulation; attaching edges of the barrier sheet(s) to the inner surfaces of the walls so as to define respective chambers between the barrier sheet(s) and the respective inner wall surfaces; evacuating each of the chambers; and sealing the chambers. When used with a cabinet that includes an additional liner, this insulation arrangement is preferably used on the shell of the cabinet and, following insertion of the liner within the shell, additional insulation is provided between the liner and the barrier sheet(s).

Title: Method and device for time domain demultiplexing of serial fiber bragg grating sensor arrays
Inventor: COOPER DAVID J F
IPC: G02B5/26
Filed: 1999-10-08
Granted: 2010-09-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for to implement time division multiplexing of a fiber optic serial Bragg grating sensor array containing more than one Bragg grating. The device provides a pulse read-out system that allows for a reduction in system noise and an increase in sensor resolution and flexibility. The optical signals reflected from the Bragg grating sensors are gated by an electronically controlled optical modulator before any wavelength measurement is performed to determine the sensor information. This offers significant advantages since the sensor information is encoded into the wavelength of the optical signal and not its intensity. Therefore the sensor signal information is not distorted by the gating. Since the gating or switching of the optical modulator between transmission and attenuating states is performed on the optical signal, the speed of the electronic processing needs only to be performed at the speed of variation of the sensor information and the choice of methods of wavelength measurement is not influenced by the gating action.

Title: Method of preparing a transgenic non-human animal expressing p25
Inventor: AHLIJANIAN MICHAEL KIRK
IPC: C12N9/99
Filed: 2000-02-03
Granted: 2004-08-17
Abstract: The invention provides transgenic, non-human animals and transgenic non-human mammalian cells harboring a transgene encoding a p25 (activator of the protein kinase cdk 5) polypeptide.   The two neuropathological lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed predominantly of amyloid .beta. peptides and hyperphosphorylated tau, respectively. While animal models for plaque formation exist, there is no animal model that recapitulates the formation of NFTs. This invention provides transgenic mice that overexpress human p25, an activator of cdk5, resulting in tau that is hyperphosphorylated at AD-relevant epitopes.  Deposition of tau is detected in the amygdala, thalamus and cortex. Increased phosphorylated neurofilament, silver-positive neurons and neuronal death are also observed in these regions.  We conclude that the overexpression of p25, an activator of cdk5, is sufficient to produce hyperphosphorylation of tau and neuronal death. The p25 transgenic mouse represents the first model for tau pathology in AD.

Title: Vapor/liquid contacting cyclone with secondary vanes
Inventor: BUCHANAN JOHN SCOTT
IPC: B01D45/14
Filed: 1998-11-06
Granted: 2008-06-17
Abstract: This invention is directed to a cyclonic vapor/liquid contacting device, and distillation or related mass transfer or heat transfer processes employing its use, such as fluid catalytic cracking. Liquid feed is introduced near the floor of the cyclone via the downcomer or plenum. Vapor enters through sieve holes in the bottom of the cyclonic device. Near the floor are angled tabs or vanes that impart a spin to the vapor rising up through the floor. The tabs or vanes mix the liquid and vapor. The liquid is then thrown toward the cyclone wall where it exits through slots in the wall. A second set of tabs or vanes, located about in the middle of the cyclone, imparts additional spin to the vapor and entrained liquid rising through the cyclone. This improves liquid collection by the cyclone, especially in cases where a heavy liquid load dampens the spin action of the vapor in the base of the cyclone. In another embodiment, there is a non-spinning zone at the floor of the cyclone barrel which permits improved heat transfer between the liquid and vapor. If a non- spinning zone is used, the two sets of vanes or tabs are located at higher elevations within the barrel.

Title: Magnetically suspended flywheel system
Inventor: SUNATORI GO SIMON
IPC: H02N15/00
Filed: 2000-11-10
Granted: 2011-07-12
Abstract: A magnetically suspended flywheel system comprises a housing, a stator assembly, and a rotor assembly. The stator assembly comprises a ring-shaped stator magnet having a substantially triangular cross section. The rotor assembly comprises a vertical shaft, a cone-shaped rotor magnet having a substantially triangular cross section, and a flywheel. The ring-shaped stator magnet has the same sense of magnetisation as the cone-shaped rotor magnet. The ring-shaped stator magnet forms inverse heart-shaped magnetic flux lines, and the cone-shaped rotor magnet forms heart-shaped magnetic flux lines. An upward magnetic repulsion force between the inverse heart-shaped magnetic flux lines of the ring-shaped stator magnet and the heart-shaped magnetic flux lines of the cone-shaped rotor magnet equals a downward gravitational force by the rotor assembly in order to passively suspend the rotor assembly so that the rotor assembly is capable of rotating around the central axis of rotation. This invention relates to flywheel systems, and the principal use of the invention is for kinetic energy storage systems.

Abstract: An electro-optic device including an optical waveguide formed in an electro-optic material that propagates an optical signal along a first direction of propagation is described. The device also includes an electrical waveguide formed in the electro-optic material and positioned co-linear relative to the optical waveguide and in electromagnetic communication with the optical waveguide, where the electrical waveguide also propagates the electrical signal in the first direction of propagation. A compensation network is electrically coupled to the electrical waveguide at a junction and propagates the electrical signal in a second direction of propagation that is substantially non-co-linear with the first direction of propagation. In operation, the compensation network modifies at least one of a phase or an amplitude of the electrical signal at the junction relative to a phase or an amplitude of the accumulated modulation on the optical signal at the junction, respectively, and then returns the modified electrical signal to the electrical waveguide.
