Title: Food products comprising hydrolysed milk solids with improved taste
Inventor: SCHALK JOHANNES
IPC: A23L1/30
Filed: 2006-01-24
Granted: 2010-03-11
Abstract: Food products comprising hydrolysed milk solids, especially tripeptides such as IPP, VPP, LPP are known to lower blood pressure. However they show an undesirable off taste. This can be remedied by the addition of sterol or stanol fatty acid esters to the food products. Preferred food products are emulsions. A further benefit of these products is that they may also reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Title: Retinal prosthesis with a new configuration
Inventor: MCCLURE KELLY H
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2006-09-19
Granted: 2011-07-14
Abstract: Polymer materials are useful as electrode array bodies for neural stimulation. They are particularly useful for retinal stimulation to create artificial vision, cochlear stimulation to create artificial hearing, and cortical stimulation, and many related purposes. The pressure applied against the retina, or other neural tissue, by an electrode array is critical. Too little pressure causes increased electrical resistance, along with electric field dispersion. Too much pressure may block blood flow. Common flexible circuit fabrication techniques generally require that a flexible circuit electrode array be made flat. Since neural tissue is almost never flat, a flat array will necessarily apply uneven pressure. Further, the edges of a flexible circuit polymer array may be sharp and cut the delicate neural tissue. By applying the right amount of heat to a completed array, a curve can be induced. With a thermoplastic polymer it may be further advantageous to repeatedly heat the flexible circuit in multiple molds, each with a decreasing radius. Further, it is advantageous to add material along the edges. It is further advantageous to provide a fold or twist in the flexible circuit array. Additional material may be added inside and outside the fold to promote a good seal with tissue.

Title: Parking lock device for transmission
Inventor: HIDETAKA KOGA
IPC: B60T1/06
Filed: 2007-03-16
Granted: 2011-12-22
Abstract: A parking lock device for mounting on a transmission. The parking lock device can be installed in a transmission to be modified, with the modification of the structure of the transmission kept as little as possible, and is reduced in size. A first connection member (11) is spline-fitted to the rear end of an output shaft (1) of the transmission and fixed by a fixation nut (5), and further, a second connection member (12) is integrally joined to the first connection member (11). A continuous ridge/groove section (11C) is formed on the outer periphery of the first connection member (11). To set the parking lock device to a parking lock state, a claw (31A) of a parking pole (31) placed below the first connection member is engaged with the ridge/groove section (11C). Since the parking lock device is installed at the rear end of the output shaft (1), there is no need to modify a basic portion of the transmission to install the parking lock device. Also, because the second connection member (12) has an extension shaft section (12C) formed in the same shape as the rear end of the output shaft (1), a coupling joint (13) connected to the propeller shaft of a vehicle can be a common part independent of whether the parking lock device is mounted.

Title: Cell reselection in a wireless communication system
Inventor: KITAZOE MASATO
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2008-08-01
Granted: 2012-06-21
Abstract: Techniques for performing cell reselection in a wireless communication system are described. A user equipment (UE) may initially camp on a first cell. While camped on the first cell, the UE may identify second and third cells deemed to be better than the first cell. The UE may move from the first cell to the second cell without performing cell reselection to camp on the second cell. After moving to the second cell, the UE may obtain at least one cell reselection parameter for the second and/or third cell and may update the rankings of the second and third cells based on the cell reselection parameter(s). The UE may then perform cell reselection from the first cell to the second or third cell based on the updated rankings, e.g., perform inter-frequency cell reselection from the first cell to the third cell without actually camping on the second cell.

Abstract: A completion tubular is placed in position adjacent the zone or zones to be fractured and produced. It features preferably sliding sleeve valves that can assume at least two configurations: wide open and open with a screen material juxtaposed in the flow passage. In a preferred embodiment the valve assembly has three positions, adding a folly closed position to the other two mentioned. After run in, the valves can be put in the wide open position in any order desired to fracture. After fracturing, the valves can be closed or selectively be put in filtration position for production from the fractured zones in any desired order. Various ways are described to actuate the valves. The tubular can have telescoping pistons through which the fracturing can take place if the application calls for a cemented tubular. Alternatively, the tubular can be in open hole and simply have openings for passage of fracture fluid and external isolators to allow fracturing in any desired order.
