Title: Anti-backup improvement for hypodermic syringes
Inventor: HARRIS DALE CARVIN
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 1993-10-12
Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-backup device which prevents the nut (10) from moving up the threaded piston (5) at the end of the dose by rotating in the opposite direction of that in which the nut (10) moves up the position to set the new dose by rotating dose knob. In this way, it is assured that movement of the nut up the threaded piston is due to rotating the dose knob (15) in the proper direction. The preferred device is a pawl (25) mounted on the end of a flexible arm (32) of the nut which cooperates with slots (26) on the inside of the syringe barrel (27). The nut (10) also has an incline surface (28) at the end which mates with an incline surface (29) in the barrel (27) and the mating of these surfaces at the end of the dose forces the pawl (25) into a slot (26) and prevents rotation of the nut (10) in the wrong direction, thus preventing refilling of the syringe. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of fitting a coil onto a bobbin
Inventor: LEET EDWARD
IPC: H01H71/74
Filed: 1994-05-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of fitting an overload coil (44) for a circuit breaker onto a bobbin assembly (24). The overload coil is preformed into a helical coil (44) with a pair of terminals (16, 17) and a coil sub-assembly (76) is formed by attaching electrical leads (42) to the terminals of the coil. Separate base and top halves (26, 28) of a split bobbin are assembled so that the pre-formed coil of the coil subassembly is held captive therebetween. A sensing tube (18) is fitted through an aperture extending axially through the assembled split bobbin, and the sensing tube is mounted onto a magnetic cradle. Different top halves, such as a voltage coil top half (46) and a high inrush top half (60) may be fitted into a common base half. The invention extends to a bobbin assembly for a circuit breaker, as well as to an overload coil sub-assembly (76). <IMAGE>

Title: Virtual machine support for multiple aplications
Inventor: CHAPMAN MATTHEW PAUL
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2000-05-31
Granted: 2004-09-01
Abstract: A computer system runs a virtual machine which is typically capable of supporting only a single application. In order to run multiple applications on it, a single environment application is first started running on the virtual machine. Then, one or more applications are loaded into said environment application as compiled code. The loading includes scanning the compiled code for predetermined instructions, and making a modification to such predetermined instructions to call back to the environment application. This allows certain problematic instructions from the application, such as those which attempt to shut down the virtual machine, to be replaced. Each of the one or more applications is assigned to a separate thread within the environment application. This allows the one or more applications to be run by running their assigned threads within the environment application. The effect of this is that the one or more applications appear to the virtual machine as part of the environment application, in other words as if only one application in total were running on the virtual machine.

Title: Liquid compound and process, effecting, in the presence of air and of a suitable catalyst, the synthesis of nitrogenated carbohydrates for food and pharmacological use
Inventor: BUTTARELLI LUIGI
IPC: C07C/
Filed: 1990-03-13
Granted: 1993-12-17
Abstract: The liquid compound and the process which are the object of the present invention are characterized in that the compound, which is a saturated aqueous solution of urea with added water-soluble chlorophyll as catalyst, stable at ambient temperature, if placed in a container which is wide open and hence in the presence of air, because of a decrease in the ambient temperature, tends to crystallize, depositing itself along the surface of the internal walls of the container itself, coating it with a crystalline layer. This deposition, which takes place upwards and hence contrary to the law of gravitation, seems to be caused by the absorption or by the liberation of energy, perhaps attributable to a difference in potential between the solution and the surface of the container or rather between the solution and the surrounding air. Since the process of dissolution of urea/chlorophyll in water takes place with absorption of thermal energy and is thus endothermic, it seems reasonable to conclude that the subsequent crystallization of the compound thus obtained in the presence of air leads to the formation of substances similar to the carbohydrates, by analogy to what occurs in the endothermic process of photosynthesis in green plants.
