Title: Rollable roof ventilating devices and methods for use thereof
Inventor: MORRIS RICHARD J
IPC: E04D1/36
Filed: 1998-12-16
Granted: 2001-10-18
Abstract: A ventilating system for a roof made of a multi-plied weatherproof material. The weatherproof material includes a planar ply and a second ply joined such that a multiplicity of air passages is defined thereby. The air passages extend generally transversely to longitudinal axes of the embodiments. Each embodiment can be transported and stored in a spiral conformation. The spiral conformation is achieved by rolling the embodiment in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. A series of embodiments include a top panel and one or more lateral vents, rolled such that the one or more lateral vents are radially exposed. When shipped and stored in a spiral conformation, the embodiment with radially exposed lateral vents is more quickly and easily installed on a roof. Another embodiment, also conformable to a spiral for shipping and storing, is advantageously used to enhance ventilation by ventilating the eave.

Title: Surgical anastomosis stapling instrument
Inventor: BRINKERHOFF RONALD J
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 1992-08-17
Granted: 1994-11-03
Abstract: A surgical stapling instrument (50) for performing a circular anastomosis stapling operation is provided. The surgical instrument includes a stapling head assembly (60) mounted by a curved shaft (70) to an actuator handle assembly (80) and incorporates an improved actuator mechanism for transmitting the required operating forces and movements from the actuator handle assembly through the curved shaft to an anvil (100) and staple driver (62) of the stapling head assembly. The stapling head assembly includes a longitudinally movable trocar (73) detachably secured by one or more retainer clips (110) on a hollow shaft of the anvil. When the trocar is retracted, the anvil shaft slides into a central support tube (66) which aligns the anvil axially and circumferentially with a staple holder on the stapling head assembly. The retainer clips are locked against the trocar by the support tube and transmit tension from the trocar to the anvil with no tension load on the anvil shaft. The actuator mechanism permits adjustment of the anvil gap to produce a desired staple height and precludes actuation of the staple head assembly if the anvil gap is set outside of a predetermined range. Also, the actuator mechanism is adapted to both advance and retract the staple driver relative to the staple holder in the stapling head assembly. Further, an improved arrangement for attaching the support shaft to the stapling head assembly and to the actuator handle assembly is provided.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US92/08595 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 21, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 21, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 8, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/08274 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 29, 1993Methods of reducing cystine containing animal and plant proteins, and improving dough and baked goods' characteristics is provided which includes the steps of mixing dough ingredients with a thiol redox protein to form a dough and baking the dough to form a baked good. The method of the present invention preferably uses reduced thioredoxin with wheat flour which imparts a stronger dough and higher loaf volumes. Methods for reducing snake, bee and scorpion toxin proteins with a thiol redox (SH) agent and thereby inactivating the protein or detoxifying the protein in an individual are also provided. Protease inhibitors, including the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitors of soybean, were also reduced by the NADP/thioredoxin system (NADPH, thioredoxin, and NADP-thioredoxin reductase). When reduced by thioredoxin, the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk soybean trypsin inhibitors lose their ability to inhibit trypsin. Moreover, the reduced form of the inhibitors showed increased susceptibility to heat and proteolysis by either subtilisin or a protease preparation from germinating wheat seeds. The 2S albumin of castor seed endosperm was reduced by thioredoxin. Thioredoxin was reduced by either NADPH and NADP-thioredoxin reductase or dithiothreitol. Analyses showed that thioredoxin actively reduced the intramolecular disulfides of the 2S large subunit, but was ineffective in reducing the intermolecular disulfides that connect the large to the small subunit. A novel cystine containing protein that inhibits pullulanase was isolated; thioredoxin reduction of this protein destroyed or greatly reduced its inhibitory activity.
