Title: Method for alleviating syndromes and conditions of discomfort of the mammalian intestinal and genito-urinary tracts
Inventor: FINNEGAN SARAH
IPC: A61K31/66
Filed: 2002-01-18
Abstract: Glycerophosphates, particularly calcium glycerophosphate (CGP), have been found to mitigate certain abdominal-area physical problems including irritab le bowel syndrome and urinary urgency. It is believed that calcium and glycerophosphate, taken orally, are introduced into the human and other anim al system such that the glycerophosphate and/or calcium exert a damping, soothing, irritant-interdictive or antispasmodic action on the intestinal, urinary bladder and other smooth muscle organs. Using glycerophosphates, a method is provided for alleviating, palliating, and reducing the syndromes a nd conditions of discomfort resulting from a variety of diseases, including irritable bowel syndrome, interstitial cystitis, inflammatory bowel disease,  fibromyalgia, urinary urgency, benign prostatic hypertrophy, vulvodynia and external genital pain. It is also suggested that muscular energy supplied vi a glycolysis, the source of anaerobic energy, may be facilitated by the administration of a glycerophosphate moiety to the body's glycerophosphate shuttle.

Title: System and method for preventing unauthorized bypass of an oem security system
Inventor: NELSON ROBERT A
IPC: B60R25/045
Filed: 2003-07-07
Abstract: A system for preventing the unauthorized by-pass of an OEM security system is disclosed. The system includes an OEM starter for starting a vehicle; an OEM security system in communication with said starter; a by-pass kit for by-passing said OEM security system and enabling remote car starting of the vehicle without placing the key in the ignition; a remote car starter device in communication with the by-pass kit for sending a signal to the by-pass kit to start the engine;  and a remote car starter transmitter in wireless communication with the remote car starter device. The signal that is sent to said by-pass kit is data, so that the by-pass kit is adapted to by-pass the OEM security system only upon receipt of the data signal. The improvement can be brought to both transponder-based bypass kits and microprocessor-based bypass kits.

Title: Device and method for producing samples from predominantly dust-like and dry material
Inventor: HOEPFL THOMAS
IPC: C01B31/00
Filed: 2002-01-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for producing samples from predominantly dust-like and dry material, especially dust-like residues of combustion such as filter ash or flue ash, for determining the residual carbon content by determining the change in electrical parameters of a complex electrical component containing the produced samples to be examined.  The aim of the invention is to solve the technical problem of easily obtaining suitable samples from dust-like and dry material such as filter ash or flue ash having extremely bad flow behaviour, enabling the residual carbon content to be determined with a high level of precision according to the described method. To this end, the flue ash is transported into the complex electrical component (3) by means of a screw conveyor (2) and is compressed until a rapid, significant increase of the compression force is indicated. It was observed that during the compression of flue ash, a rapid increase in compression force of over 200 % is produced when a defined reproducible degree of compression is obtained, without any further increase occurring in the degree of compression.  Possible samples having defined compression ratios can thus be produced, said samples enabling a sufficiently precise determination of the residual carbon content.

Title: Unitary liftgate
Inventor: BARK PAUL
IPC: B60P1/44
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: The invention is a unitary liftgate (10) that attaches to the vehicle body (46) instead of the vehicle chassis. The liftgate may be fully assembled and tested prior to installation on the vehicle body. This greatly reduces installation time while improving performance and reliability. Various features such as steps (50), bumpers (56), and brackets (52, 58) are integrated into the liftgate. Further, the liftgate is preferably configured so that multiple units can be stacked together for shipping and ease of loading and unloading. The stackability of the liftgates simplifies storing as well, by removing the necessity of storing several components separately.

Title: Socket for an electrically operated device
Inventor: MEWS HANS-PETER
IPC: H01R13/508
Filed: 2004-02-11
Abstract: A socket according to the invention for an electrically operated device has two housing parts (9, 11), which are held together by clamping springs (22, 23).      Each clamping spring has at least one for example rectangular leg (28) with a recess, which in the installed state is interlocked with a snap-in lug of one housing part (11). Another leg (29) of each clamping spring (22, 23) extends at an angle < 90° to the leg (28) and rests resiliently on the other housing part (9). As a result, production variations that occur can be compensated far, so that both housing parts (9, 11) are held against one another without play. The production and assembly of such lamp sockets are simplified considerably, compared to known lamp sockets.

Title: Orthopedic support device
Inventor: ZACHARY TERRY P
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 2004-02-23
Abstract: The current device is defined as a generally teardrop shaped support, where singles, multiples or portions of a generally teardrop shape are used to produce a desired function for each given support entity. The triangular wedge support is a commonly accepted orthopedic support solution in our society today. Yet, the inherent triangular structure does not properly accept the weight of body parts and their soft and often arched contours. The naturally occurring "teardrop" shape is maximally suited as a solution for these demands. The teardrop shaped support is especially useful as a stomach sleeping solution, a side sleeping support, a leg spacer, a knee support, a saddle pad, a "reading in bed" support and a "watching television" support, among other uses.

Title: Adjustment mechanism with torque limiting and anti-loosening features
Inventor: MACHAEL JAY R
IPC: A47C1/023
Filed: 2004-06-14
Abstract: An adjustable chair seat with a locking mechanism that is torque limiting and resistant to loosening. The chair includes a seat pan, a seat plate, a rotatable fastener and two rings. The seat pan and seat plate have openings for receiving the fastener. The fastener includes a cup handle and a threaded insert. The threaded insert is engaged with the seat pan through an opening in the seat pan while the seat plate is sandwiched between the seat pan and the fastener. When being rotated, the cup handle slips relative to the threaded insert after a predetermined resistance is reached so as to cease the application of torque to the threaded insert. One of the rings is keyed to rotate with the fastener and the other ring is keyed to remain non-rotatable.  The first ring includes an array of cantilevered teeth where each tooth has a first surface disposed at a smaller angle from a horizontal reference plane and a second surface which is disposed at a greater angle from the horizontal reference plane. This arrangement results in the requirement of a lesser torque to tighten the fastener than to loosen the fastener.

IPC: F42B5/24
Filed: 2003-01-13
Abstract: There is provided a decoppering agent that is incorporated into the propella nt to remove copper from the rifling of the internal bore of a gun barrel. The decoppering agent consists essentially of a lead-free pulverized additive mixed together with the other propellant compounds. We have found that a mixture of tin and bismuth is a very good decoppering agent. Especially in t he ratio 42% Sn/58%Bi, the melting point for this combination is 138 degree C. Much lower than each of the components. It can be all kinds of suitable tin and bismuth compounds. The bismuth and tin either vaporizes or liquefies whe n the propellant is ignited and either embrittles or dissolves the copper deposits facilitating removal.
