Title: Methods and apparatus for controlling bearing loads within bearing assemblies
Inventor: WILLEY JAMES ELBERT
IPC: F01D25/16
Filed: 2001-12-13
Granted: 2008-05-13
Abstract: An orifice plate assembly (82) for a gas turbine engine (10) that facilitates extending a useful life of bearing assemblies (70) within the gas turbine engine is described. Each orifice plate assembly is coupled in flow communication with an engine air source (74), and includes a first body portion (100) and a second body portion (102). The first body portion includes a channel (108) and a flow opening (130). The channel is sized to receive the second body portion, such that the second body portion may slide with respect to the first body portion. The orifice plate assembly is adjustable after engine shutdown to regulate bearing loading.

Abstract: A door (10) having a core (32) made from a composite panel material such as medium density fiberboard or particleboard is provided with a plurality of dowels (36) which are secured, such as by an adhesive, within openings (38) extending into the core (32). The dowels (36) and the openings (38) are positioned in alignment with the screw holes (40) in the hinges (26) which mount the door (10) to a jamb (28) or cabinet. Screws (44) or other fasteners extend through the screw openings (40) in the hinges (26) and are secured within the dowels (36). The dowels (36) permit conventional wood screws (44) to be used to mount the hinges (26) to the door (10) and improve the screw holding capability of the door (10). The dowels (36) also eliminate the need to use edge banding for screw holding purposes and thereby eliminate the problems associated with the joint formed between the edge banding and the core material.

Abstract: The invention relates to the recycling of worn-out tyres and other industrial and domestic wastes. The method for disintegrating the worn-out tyres consists in producing a package of worn-out tyres in the form of compressed layers. The initial destruction of said package is carried-out in an armoured chamber in conditions of free extension until a destruction point of the external layers thereof is reached. The dimensions of the armoured chamber at any section perpendicular to the axis thereof and vary within a range of 2 to 7 times of diameter of the package in said section. The package of tyres is formed from several spiral twists which are axially arranged and provided with an axial orifice. Deformation and a state of stress are produced during the free extension of the rubber layer without contacting the walls of the armoured chamber. Said state makes it possible to carry out the effective destruction and disintegration of the rubber and metallic and textile cord.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring and orienting golf club shaft
Inventor: WEISS RICHARD M
IPC: A63B59/00
Filed: 2001-11-09
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: The preferred orientation, or planar oscillation plane, of a golf club shaft (110) is located by measuring the oscillation (20, 21) of the shaft (110) when an impulse is applied. Preferably, the out-of-plane oscillation is measured at a large number of angular positions about the shaft (110) axis, and the principal planar oscillation plane is identified by that pair of opposed angular positions in which the out-of-plane oscillation is smallest. The location of the preferred orientation may be marked on the shaft (110) and used to assemble a golf club with the planar oscillation plane in a predetermined orientation. The staightness of the shaft (110) can also be determined by deriving its spring constant from its oscillation frequency and then measuring the restoring force when the shaft is deflected by the same nominal amount at different angular positions; differences in restoring force can be attibuted to differences in actual deflection distance resulting from lack of straightness.

Granted: 2014-10-07
Abstract: T cell responses are often diminished in humans with a compromised immune system. We have developed a method to isolate, stimulate and expand naïve cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors (CTLp) to antigen-specific effectors, capable of lysing tumor cells in vivo. This ex vivo protocol produces fully functional effectors. Artificial antigen presenting cells (AAPCs; Drosophila melanogaster) transfected with human HLA class I and defined accessory molecules, are used to stimulate CD8+ T cells from both normal donors and cancer patients. The class I molecules expressed to a high density on the surface of the Drosophila cells are empty, allowing for efficient loading of multiple peptides that results in the generation of polyclonal responses recognizing tumor cells endogenously expressing the specific peptides. The responses generated are robust, antigen-specific and reproducible if the peptide epitope is a defined immunogen. This artificial antigen expression system can be adapted to treat most cancers in a significant majority of the population.
