Abstract: An outdoor equipment cabinet enclosure (10) designed to dissipate heat generated by electrical components housed therein including an upper chamber (20) for housing the components and a lower chamber (22) configured to store banks of batteries (24) for a stand-by power supply system. A lower wall (18 ) separates the batteries from the electronic components. A heat exchanger (30 ) is disposed in the upper chamber (20) and includes intake and exhaust ports (36, 38) for creating a circulating air flow path through outer columns (34) of the heat exchanger (30) for interior air within the upper chamber (20). A n air flow passageway (44) is defined by the lower wall (18) and the upper surfaces of the batteries. A pair of diverters (56) located in the outside a ir flow passageway deflect the outside air flowing across the upper surfaces of the batteries through spaces between the batteries. A pair of opposed baffle s (60) help direct the outside air flow to an inner column (32) of the heat exchanger and also include portions (62) serving to locate and retain the batteries.

Title: Cannula stent
Inventor: PARKER FRED T
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2002-10-09
Granted: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A stent formed from cannula and having flexible segments and high hoop strength segments alternating therealong. Longitudinal struts or tie bars interconnect the segments. Minimal length reduction of the strut occurs upon expansion. In the high hoop strength segment, struts in a zig-zag configuration (Gianturco Z-stent) are initially parallel in the unexpanded strut condition. In the flexible segment, struts extend from a respective C-shaped bend to converge at the opposite ends thereof when unexpanded. In one embodiment, certain adjacent struts of the hoop segment are spaced apart by elongated openings or gaps interposed therebetween and interconnected at their respective ends to form a T-shaped strut interconnection. The selected width of the first and third struts increases toward the ends of the elongated openings adjacent the strut interconnection. This strut width increase about one end of the strut significantly reduces the tensile strain exhibited about the opening end when the stent is radially expanded during manufacture. The tip length of the struts about the interconnection is also adjusted (increased) along with the other C-shaped strut interconnections to further distribute the tensile strain developed during radial expansion.

Title: Railway truck suspension design
Inventor: BERG THOMAS R
IPC: B61F5/30
Filed: 2004-04-20
Granted: 2009-09-01
Abstract: A tuned spring group with load springs, control springs, and a frictional damping arrangement for a railcar truck assembly provides better ride quality, increased resistance to suspension bottoming, and increased hunting threshold speed of a railroad car. Specifically, this tuned damping and suspension arrangement provides a spring group reserve capacity of less than 1.50. Spring assemblies for different car types are tuned such that a reserve ratio less than 1.50 may be achieved. By reducing the spring assembly reserve capacity for a railcar and truck of a standard weight and configuration to less than 1.50, an unexpected result of a decrease in maximum vertical acceleration as the railcar truck assembly approaches a speed of 55 miles per hour is achieved. The decrease in vertical acceleration allows for improved ride quality, increased resistance to suspension bottoming and increased hunting threshold speed of the railcar.

Title: Isomaltooligosaccharides from leuconostoc as neutraceuticals
Inventor: DAY DONAL F
IPC: A23K20/195
Filed: 2004-05-19
Granted: 2010-03-16
Abstract: Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC    fermentation with a sucrose:maltose ratio of 2:1 have been discovered to be effective prebiotics in mixed cultures of microbial populations, including cultures from chicken ceca. Surprisingly in mixed microbial cultures this IMO composition proved as effective as FOS.  Thus, these IMOs can be used as effective prebiotics for both birds and mammals. Moreover, the IMOs were discovered to be effective non-competitive inhibitors of a-glucosidase. These IMOs also will be useful, as an .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitor, in a therapeutic application for several diseases, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetes, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, caries, cancer, viral disease such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, and AIDS. A diet with 5-20% IMOs was also shown to reduce the abdominal fat tissue in mammals.
