Title: Sound barrier layer for insulated heat shield
Inventor: BOOGEMANS MARK
IPC: F01N13/10
Filed: 2002-12-02
Abstract: An improved heat shield provides thermal insulation and reduced noise transmission of vehicular engine components, including exhaust manifolds. The structure has three layers; an outer structural metal layer, a center insulation layer to isolate heat and dampen noise, and an inner metal layer directly adjacent the shielded component for reflecting heat back to the shielded component. The heat shield is attached by bolts to the shielded component. In the described embodiment, the volume of the insulation layer is expanded by approximately 15 to 20 percent over conventional shields to produce a softer, thicker material having a lower density but unchanged mass. The invention provides a technique to achieve desired thickness and density in insulation layers via modal finite element analysis. The relatively thicker heat shield more effectively absorbs vibration and attenuates noise without increase in mass. In the described embodiment, the layer contains cellulose, diatomaceous earth, talc, and fiberglass.

Abstract: Ep-CAM is a tumor-associated antigen overexpressed in many solid tumors but shows limited expression in normal epithelial tissues. To exploit this favorable expression pattern for targeted cancer therapy an Ep-CAM-specific recombinant immunotoxin was developed and its antitumor activity investigated. The immunotoxin 4D5MOCB-ETA was developed by genetically fusing a truncated form of ETA (ETA252-608KDEL) to the highly stable humanized scFv 4D5MOCB. Cytotoxicity of 4D5MOCB-ETA was measured in cell growth and leucine incorporation assays in vitro Tumor localization and antitumor activity were assessed in athymic mice bearing established human tumor xenografts. Fusion of the toxin moiety to the scFv did neither affect its thermal stability nor its antigen binding affinity. In vitro, 4D5MOCB-ETA  potently and specifically inhibited protein synthesis and reduced the viability of Ep-CAM-positive carcinoma cells of diverse histological origins with IC50 values ranging from 0.005 to 0.2 pM. Upon systemic administration in mice,4D5MOCB-ETA showed similar organ distribution as the scFv 4D5MOCB and preferentially localized to Ep-CAM-positive tumor xenografts with a tumorblood ratio of 5.4. The potent antitumor activity of 4D5MOCB-ETA was demonstrated by its ability to strongly inhibit the growth and induce regression of relatively large tumor xenografts derived from lung, colon or squamous cell carcinomas

Title: Engine starting control device
Inventor: OTA ATSUO
IPC: F02N19/00
Filed: 2003-10-03
Abstract: To start an engine quickly by replying an opening of a throttle valve. It is determined whether an engine speed at the moment of opening a throttle valve has inertia suited to restart an engine by a normal revolution priority speed. When the engine speed is higher than the normal revolution priority speed, an engine is restarted by immediately revolving a starter motor in a normal direction. When the engine speed is lower than the normal revolution priority speed, an engine is stopped completely, positioning a crankshaft to a restarting position, thereafter again the engine is restarted. In this case, when the engine speed is lowered to a certain degree, the engine is stopped rather in an early stage by braking the engine.      The normal revolution priority speed is set depending upon a crank angle.
