Title: Resilient construction member
Inventor: O'BRIEN-BERNINI FRANK C
IPC: E04B1/84
Filed: 1999-12-03
Granted: 2004-03-30
Abstract: A construction beam (100, 100a-c, 200, 300) includes a pair of lateral members (102, 102a-c, 202, 302, 104, 104a-c, 204, 304) and a resilient web (106, 106', 106'', 106''', 206, 306a-b) extending therebetween, so as to present a cross-sectional profile corresponding to commonly used construction beam members (for example, 2"  × 4" or 2" × 6''). The resilience of the web (106, 106', 106'', 106''', 206, 306a-b) helps to attenuate sound transmission through the beam (100, 100a-c, 200, 300) from one lateral member (102, 102a-c, 202, 302, 104, 104a-c, 204, 304) to the other. Ends of the resilient web (106, 106', 106'', 106''', 206, 306a-b) are fixed to respective ones of the lateral members (102, 102a-c, 202, 302, 104, 104a-c, 204, 304) on opposite sides of an imaginary reference plain (108, 208) passing through both of the lateral members (102, 102a-c, 202, 302, 104, 104a-c, 204, 304). In particular, in a wall frame, the lateral members (102, 102a-c, 202, 302, 104, 104a-c, 204, 304) are mounted at opposite ends thereof to end plates consisting of other construction beams (100, 100a-c, 200, 300) according to the present invention (that is, a pair of lateral members (102, 102a-c, 202, 302, 104, 104a-c, 204, 304) with a resilient web (106, 106', 106'', 106''', 206, 306a-b) extending therebetween). When used in a frame of a building structure, the lateral members (102, 102a-c, 202, 302, 104, 104a-c, 204, 304) of the end plates on the same side are attached to the surrounding structure, leaving the other side of the frame resiliently free floating. A wall is mounted on the free floating side of the wall frame so as to provide a resiliently free floating wall that acts as a sound attenuating "diaphragmatic" absorber.

Abstract: An oil separator such as used in an air charging system includes a bypass assembly. During normal operation, airflow from an inlet to an outlet passes through the filter to remove oil and oil vapor from the compressed air. If a restriction or blockage occurs in the filter, as ex-hibited by a predetermined pressure differential across the filter, a bypass passage is opened to allow direct communication between the inlet and outlet ports. A spring defines the pressure responsive member that allows the filter to move away from the valve seat and establish communication between the inlet and outlet ports of the housing.

Abstract: A fiber Bragg grating reference module provides a precise temperature reference for a temperature probe, including a thermistor, located in close proximity thereto, and includes an optical fiber having a fiber Bragg grating therein, a glass element and a reference housing. The fiber Bragg grating has two ends and with a coefficient of thermal expansion. The glass element anchors the two ends of the fiber Bragg grating, and has a substantially similar coefficient of thermal expansion as the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fiber Bragg grating to ensure that the glass element does not substantially induce strain on the fiber Bragg grating as the ambient temperature changes. The reference housing has a cavity and also has a means for receiving and affixing one end of the fiber Bragg grating and for suspending the fiber Bragg grating in the cavity leaving the other end of the fiber Bragg grating free to move as the ambient temperature changes without inducing strain in the fiber Bragg grating. The glass element includes a glass tube collapsed over the entire length of the fiber Bragg grating.

Abstract: An apparatus for and method of rapidly detecting a flame out condition. A  thermopile receives heat energy from the flame and generates electrical power to enable operation of a microprocessor. This microprocessor periodically measures the output voltage of the thermopile at one second intervals. An average is taken of eight consecutive samples. A running history of eight averages is stored within a FIFO which serves as a history queue. This FIFO thus stores a digitized signature of the flame condition over the previous 64 seconds. Analysis by the microprocessor is able to make an early detection of the flame out condition by utilizing the current voltage measurements and the FIFO contents.

Abstract: Method of synthesis of photonic band gap (PBG) materials. The synthesis and characterization of high quality, very large scale, face centered cubic photonic band gap (PBG) materials consisting of pure silicon, exhibiting a complete three-dimensional PBG centered on a wavelength of 1.5 µ.m. This is obtained by chemical vapor deposition and anchoring of disilane into a self-assembling silica opal template, wetting of a thick silicon layer on the interior surfaces of the template, and subsequent removal of the template. This achievement realizes a long standing goal in photonic materials and opens a new door for complete control of radiative emission from atoms and molecules, light localization and the integration of micron scale photonic devices into a three-dimensional all-optical micro-chip.

Abstract: It has been discovered that when pluripotent stem cells are cultured in the presence of a hepatocyte differentiation agent, a population of cells is derived that has a remarkably high proportion of cells with phenotypic characteristics of liver cells. In one example, human embryonic stem cells are allowed to form embryoid bodies, and then combined with the differentiation agent n-butyrate, optionally supplemented with maturation factors. In another example, n-butyrate is added to human embryonic stem cells in feeder-free culture. Either way, a remarkably uniform cell population is obtained, which is predominated by cells with morphological features of hepatocytes, expressing surface markers characteristic of hepatocytes, and having enzymatic and biosynthetic activity important for liver function. Since stem cells readily proliferate in culture, this system provides an abundant source of cells of the hepatocyte lineage for a variety of applications, such as drug screening, and replenishing liver function in the context of clinical treatment.
