Inventor: TAGHIPOUR FARIBORZ
IPC: C02F1/30
Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: A process for treating a fluid which comprises the step of exposing the fluid to ultraviolet radiation and high-energy ionizing radiation. It has been discovered that combining ultraviolet radiation with high-energy ionizing radiation in the treatment of a fluid results in synergistic performances of the treatment process -e.g., improvement in the inactivation or killing of microorganisms in the fluid, in destruction of organic contaminants and the like. More specifically, fluid treatment performance is improved to a level typically not possible when using ultraviolet radiation and high-energy ionizing radiation separately.

Abstract: The present invention concerns compositions comprising and methods of identification and use of targeting peptides for placenta or adipose tissue. In certain embodiments, the targeting peptides comprise part or all of SEQ I D NO:5-11, SEQ ID NO:13-22 OR SEQ ID NO:144. The peptides may be attached to various therapeutic agents for targeted delivery. Adipose-targeting peptides may be used in methods for weight control, inducing weight loss and treating lipodystrophy syndrome. Adipose-targeting may also be accomplished using oth er binding moieties selectively targeted to adipose receptors, such as a prohibitin receptor protein complex. Placenta-targeting peptides may be used to interfere with pregnancy, induce labor and/or for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to placenta and/or fetus. In other embodiments, receptors identified by binding to placenta-targeting peptides may be used to screen compounds for potential teratogenicity. An exemplary placental receptor is FcRn/.beta.2M, and compounds that bind to FcRn/.beta.2M are potential teratogens.
Patent CA-2458185-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KERSEY ALAN D
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: A side-hole optical cane for measuring pressure and/or temperature is disclosed. The side-hole cane has a light guiding core containing a sensor and a cladding containing symmetrical side-holes extending substantially parallel to the core. The side-holes cause an asymmetric stress across the core of the sensor creating a birefringent sensor. The sensor, preferably a Bragg grating, reflects a first and second wavelength each associated with orthogonal polarization vectors, wherein the degree of separation between the two is proportional to the pressure exerted on the core. The side-hole cane structure self-compensates and is insensitive to temperature variations when used as a pressure sensor, because temperature induces an equal shift in both the first and second wavelengths. Furthermore, the magnitude of these shifts can be monitored to deduce temperature, hence providing the side-hole cane additional temperature sensing capability that is unaffected by pressure. Additionally, the side-hole cane can be used to measure a differential pressure between a first pressure ported to the side-holes and a second external pressure.

Abstract: The rope handle forming machine is made of a cylinder having a channel therein, an U-shaped forming plate mounted along a horizontal plane tangent to the top surface of the cylinder on one side of the cylinder, and a D-shaped forming plate mounted in a same plane as the U-shaped forming plate on the other side of the cylinder, facing the U-shaped forming plate.    A rope feeder is provided along the horizontal axis of the cylinder to feed a rope stock into the channel. A cutoff blade is used to severe a rope length from the rope stock. A push-up blade mounted in the channel moves upward when the cylinder rotates and the channel reaches a twelve o' clock position, to raise the rope length above the mentioned plane. The forming plates are movable toward each other along the plane to retain and form the rope length into an U-shaped form.

Title: Anti-vibration tube support
Inventor: CALANOG MARCIANO M
IPC: F28F9/013
Filed: 2004-05-25
Abstract: A tube support device or tube stake which is useful to support the tubes in the bundle and to mitigate the possibility of tube damage from flow - induced vibration in tube bundles in heat exchangers, condensers or other tu be bundle equipment. The tube stake comprises an elongated metal strip inserted in a tube lane between the tubes of the tube bundle. Raised-tube-engaging zones such as dimples or longitudinal corrugations are disposed in transverse rows across the strip at successive longitudinal locations along its length; thes e tube- engaging zones extend laterally outwards from both faces of the strip to engage with tubes on opposite sides of the tube lane. The tube-engaging zones are preferably arranged so that they extend from the two faces of the strip in a n alternate manner, with the tube-engaging zones in each row alternately extending from one face and then from the other along the row. This alternating arrangement within each transverse row is preferably used with a second alternating arrangement in which the raised tube-engaging zones alternate fr om one side of the strip to the other at the same transverse location in successive rows. The tube stakes may be used in conventional rectangular or triangular tube formations with the stakes inserted into alternate tube lanes to provid e support for the tubes on both sides of the tube lane. Retention of the tube stakes within the tube bundle can be coupled with easier insertion by using dimpled zones at the outer ends of the stakes and corrugations at the inner ends.</S DOAB>
