Title: Collagen tubes for nerve regeneration
Inventor: SCHLOSSER LOTHAR
IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: Injured nerves are reconnected and regenerated by inserting injured nerve ends into a collagen tube having an outer compact smooth barrier surface preventing ingrowth of connective tissue, avoiding formation of scar tissue and allowing for unimpaired healing of injured nerves. The tube has an inner fibrous surface opposite the outer smooth barrier surface. The soft fibrous inner surface of the tube facilitates nerve growth promotion.

Title: Inlet baffle for water heater
Inventor: AHRENS JOYCE A
IPC: F28F27/02
Filed: 2001-08-24
Abstract: The invention is a baffle for slowing the incoming water flow into a booster heating tank so that the turbulence in the water tank is minimized. The baffle consists of an inner cap and outer cap which are positioned over the inlet to a water heating tank.  The outer cap is spaced apart from the inner cap such that the incoming water flows through openings in the inner cap and is directed to the underside of the outer cap. The water, having been sufficiently slowed by the contact with the underside of the outer cap, then smoothly flows downward along the outer cap flange and into the main plenum of the tank.

Title: Equipment for communication system and semiconductor integrated circuit device
Inventor: KITABATAKE MAKOTO
IPC: H01L29/772
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: Equipment for a communication system has a semiconductor device formed by integrating a Schottky diode, a MOSFET, a capacitor, and an inductor in a SiC substrate.      The SiC substrate has a first multilayer portion and a second multilayer portion provided upwardly in this order. The first multilayer portion is composed of .delta.-doped layers each containing an n-type impurity (nitrogen) at a high concentration and undoped layers which are alternately stacked. The second multilayer portion is composed of .delta. -doped layers each containing a p-type impurity (aluminum) at a high concentration and undoped layers which are alternately stacked. Carriers in the .delta. -doped layers spread out extensively to the undoped layers. Because of a low impurity concentration in each of the undoped layers, scattering by impurity ions is reduced so that a low resistance and a high breakdown voltage are obtained.

Title: Flush control
Inventor: SAAR DAVID A
IPC: E03D5/10
Filed: 2002-01-09
Abstract: A high flow valve assembly and a low flow valve assembly are in parallel flow relation between an inlet and an outlet of a flush controller.  The valve assemblies are opened by solenoid operated pilot valves under the control of a microprocessor based flush control system. A turbine directly measures flow through the low flow valve assembly by providing pulses to the microprocessor, and the control system counts pulses and computes flow through the high flow valve assembly to perform a flushing operation including an initial siphon trap flushing high flow portion and a subsequent trap reseal low flow portion. Corrections are made to the pulse count to correct for partial valve open conditions and other variables. An override switch provides a signal to the control system for a flush operation A user detection system includes a pair of emitters and a pair of detectors defining an array of intersecting detection points in a skewed plane in which the control system can locate the position of a user. The controller can be configured for supplying flush water for either a toilet or a urinal, and for either right or left side water supply entry and the control system detects the unique connections to tailor the operation to the specific configuration.

Patent CA-2371938-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARTWICH GERHARD
IPC: C07H21/00
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for electrochemically detecting sequence-specific nucleic acid-oligomer hybridisation events. DNA/RNA/PNA oligomer single strands which are bound to a conductive surface at one end and linked to a redoxactive unit at the other, free end, serve as a hybridisation matrix (probe). A proportion of the single strand oligonucleotides are hybridised by treatment with the oligonucleotide solution (target) being tested, with the result that the electrical communication between the conductive surface and the redoxactive unit, which is initially non- or barely existent, is increased. This enables a hybridisation event to be detected using electrochemical methods such as voltammetry, amperometry or conductance measurement.

IPC: B41J33/00
Filed: 2002-03-15
Abstract: A ribbon mechanism mounted in the lid of a printer includes a ribbon carriage pivotally coupled to the lid for folding out of the lid by virtue of its mass when the lid is open and for folding in the lid as the lid is closed. The invention comprises a clutch disk made of plastic, which may be used in a printer mechanism. The design utilizes two different injection molded plastic clutch disks that run face to face to produce relatively high dynamic and low static frictional forces. The clutch assembly uses raised areas on one of the pair of clutch disks. The raised areas allow a better overall contact between the disks so as to achieve more desirable coefficients of friction.  The materials chosen for the clutch disks not only have the desirable coefficients of friction, but also have good wear characteristics against each other.

Title: Buoy having means for self-generating electricity using wave power
Inventor: SUNG TAE-WHAN
IPC: B63B22/00
Filed: 2002-04-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a buoy having a means for self generating electricity using wave power. The buoy includes a float body moving in the undulating sea water, a lower actuating unit extending though the center portion of the float body in such a way as to be vertically set through the body and rectilinearly reciprocating through the body in a vertical direction due to a difference in a moving velocity between the float body and the actuating body when the body is moved by waves, and an electric generator generating electric energy by converting the vertical reciprocating movement of the lower actuating unit into a rotating movement, whereby the buoy allows electric energy to be easily generated using wave power in the middle of the ocean in which there are no support means, and allows the source of the energy to substitute wave power For a dry battery, thus saving energy. Furthermore, the buoy of this invention can solve the problems experienced by conventional marking means, that is, the conventional marking means may inconvenient to use due to the replacement or charge of the dry battery, in addition to taking much time to replace or charge the battery.

Abstract: Methods and systems for extending the shelf life of produce are disclosed which provide an accelerated drying process for washed produce in order to further clean and fully crystallize a layer of solute-laden slurry that has been applied on the external surface of an item of produce (20). The drying process typical comprises three basic steps. The first step (10) is to mechanically remove excess moisture from the solute-laden slurry to form a moisture-reduced slurry layer (22) on the external surface of the item of produce (20). The second step (12) is to employ heat and/or light energy to accelerate the in-situ moisture removal process to create a protective strat um (24) on the external surface of the item of produce (20). The third step (14 ) is to further remove remaining moisture to permit the formation of crystalli ne structures (26) on the external surface of the item of produce (20).
