Title: Nasal dilator
Inventor: JOHNSON BRUCE C
IPC: A61M16/06
Filed: 1992-06-02
Granted: 1995-05-04
Abstract: A nasal dilator 10 that prevents the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of the nasal passages 54, 56 of the nose 12 from drawing in during breathing comprises a truss member 16. The truss member 16 includes flexible strip of material 18 having a first end region 20, a second end region 22 and an intermediate segment 24. The first and second end regions 20, 22 are adapted to engage the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of first and second nasal passages 54, 56 of the nose 12. The truss member 16 further includes resilient bands 30a, 30b secured to the strip of material 18. The resiliency of the bands 30a, 30b acts to stabilise the outer wall tissue 60, 62 and thereby prevents the outer wall tissue 60, 62 of the nasal passages 54, 56 from drawing in during breathing. The first and second end regions 20, 22 are secured to the outer wall tissue 60, 62 by an adhesive layer whose effect is less at the intermediate segment 24.

IPC: C21C5/46
Filed: 1988-09-28
Granted: 1991-03-28
Abstract: A plug for the tap hole (H) of a metallurgical vessel (V) is formed by inserting in the hole (H), a container (10) having a fixed end wall (12) and a movable end wall (14), the container (10) housing a bag (27) containing a refractory mortar (26), an aperture (34) being present between the fixed wall (12) and the serrated edge (32) of a housing wall (30). The container (10) is diametrically smaller than the hole (H) so that an annular clearance is present. When the movable wall (14) is urged towards the fixed wall (12), the bag (27) is ruptured and the mortar (26) egresses into the annular clearance to form the plug. The container (10) is inserted at the end of a plunger (50) arranged to hold the container (10) and actuable to move the movable wall (14).

Title: Isolated and purified nucleic acids comprising a gene specifically expressed in hop glands
Inventor: OKADA YUKIO
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1999-02-16
Granted: 2003-06-19
Abstract: An isolated and purified nucleic acid comprising a gene specifically expressed in hop lupulin glands. Hops are dioecious, and only female plants bear cones, the lupulin glands of which contain secondary metabolic products which provide bitterness and flavor to beer. These secondary metabolic products contain some pharmacologically effective compounds. In order to breed a more useful cultivar of hops by manipulating the constituent of such useful secondary metabolic products relying on genetic engineering techniques, this invention provides an isolated and purified nucleic acid comprising a gene specifically expressed in hop lupulin glands. By using this nucleic acid, it is possible to develop a novel method for breeding hops with transformation techniques and molecular selection techniques. Furthermore, the present invention also provides a nucleic acid comprising the regulatory region for specifically expressing genes in lupulin glands. This nucleic acid can be used also for hop breeding.

Title: Improvements relating to liquid dispensing
Inventor: JEANS EDWARD LEWIS
IPC: B67D1/12
Filed: 1984-07-02
Granted: 1988-04-21
Abstract: The invention provides a constant head dispensing package for flavouring concentrate or other liquids. Dispensing at constant head is explained in the specification, and the invention resides in that the compensating chamber outlet is made of smaller area than the interior of the compensating chamber to prevent the compensating chamber from filling up with concentrate when the package is inverted and reinverted as it will be by virtue of the nature of the design and use of the package. It is preferred that the ports connecting the interior of the compensating chamber and the package body be as large as possible.

Title: Bag gripping and transfer apparatus and method
Inventor: KOVACS LLOYD
IPC: B65B43/46
Filed: 1995-07-13
Granted: 1999-02-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for gripping a bag and downstream handling, such as application of a header label to the bag. The bag, which has previously been filled with a product, is presented to the apparatus at an upstream bag presentation and accepting station and is gripped proximate its top. It is then transferred from the upstream bag accepting station to a downstream bag release station. Before being released, the bag travels to an intermediate label application station where a label is readied, the label then being transferred upstream to a second position and applied to the bag. Thereafter, the bag proceeds downstream, with the label, and the label is sealed to the bag. A series of grippers are employed for accepting a stream of discreet bags in a continuous manner. The grippers are recirculated continuously so that the apparatus operates continuously so long as bags are presented for application of a label.
