Abstract: The invention is directed to an electronic parking meter and a method of configuring an electronic parking meter. In addition to a meter housing and an electronic metering mechanism within the housing, the parking meter includes a memory positioned within the housing separate from the electronic metering mechanism for storing configuration information associated with a pre-selected group of one or more electronic meters. When the electronic metering mechanism is replaced, the replacement metering mechanism that is inserted into the housing need only be coupled to the separate memory in order to have the configuration information of the specific meter downloaded into it. The configuration information includes parking meter location information and/or parking restriction information. The separate memory, which may include a real time clock chip and may alternately be located in the meter's electronic lock, can also be used to store current meter status information that is accessible from the exterior of the meter housing.

Inventor: WEILAND JEAN-JACQUES
IPC: A23L27/27
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: The procedure consists of producing liquid smoke or charcoal from the pyrolysis of organic materials, preferably of vegetable origin, in a reactor with a sealed and heated chamber containing an auger. Auger is re-injected back into the reactor.  The material is heated in the chamber to a preferable temperature of 300 to 400 degreesC to provoke its pyrolysis as it is moved along by the rotating auger, with the consumed organic material and smoke extracted at the other end of the auger. The organic material can be chips of wood, especially that used for flavouring or ageing wines or spirits. Prior to pyrolysis it is dried by pre-heating, preferably in a specific electrically-heated zone of the reactor, and the smoke produced by pyrolysis is extracted and condensed in a special condenser. At least a proportion of the pyrolysis gases put out by the condense

Title: Paramyxovirus vectors for introducing foreign genes into skeletal muscle
Inventor: MAEDA MITSUYO
IPC: A61K38/30
Filed: 2001-09-26
Abstract: It is examined whether or not a recombinant Sendai virus (SeV) vector is usable in transporting a gene into a skeletal muscle by using LacZ reporter gene and insulin-like growth factor gene. As a result, the transgene expression is sustained for 1 month at the longest after the injection.  Compared with a control, the transfer of the insulin-like growth factor gene causes a significant increase in regenerated fibers and a significant increase in slipped muscle fibers, i.e., an indication of enlargement. Also, the total muscle fiber number is increased thereby. Thus, it is indicated that the paramyxovirus vector containing Sendai virus achieves the high-level expression of the transgene in the skeletal muscle and that the transfer of the insulin-like growth factor gene with the use of the paramyxovirus vector is seemingly highly useful in treating neuromuscular disorders.

Inventor: TROUT RICHARD B
IPC: B01D65/02
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: A process and system for extracting a solute from a solid material, such as oil from oil-bearing foodstuffs, utilize a substantially tubular membrane filter to separate a mass of the extracting medium and the foodstuffs into a miscella and foodstuffs of reduced oil content. In a batch or continuous process, after each extracting stage, the mass from the extraction vessel is conveyed to a membrane filter, which has pores along its cylindrical walls suitably sized to allow a miscella to pass as the permeate, while causing the foodstuffs of reduced oil content to be conveyed axially along the tubes and out of its ends as the retentate. In a continuous process, extractor cells, or stage, consisting of an extraction vessel, pump, and membrane filter, are used in sequential stages, preferably using a miscella from the subsequent stage as the extracting medium. In a batch process, miscella storage tanks may be used to store miscella from the final stage for use in the next batch. In either case, only miscella having the highest oil content, namely the miscella from the first stage, is conveyed to a separator for recovery of the oil. Of particular value is the use of this process or system in extracting oil form foodstuffs which are in the form the powders, have high oil content, or are sensitive to heat.
