| 20120122819 | GUANINE RIBOSWITCH BINDING COMPOUNDS AND THEIR USE AS ANTIBIOTICS - The present invention includes novel compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable formulations of said compounds which exhibit antibiotic activity against microorganisms bearing a guanine riboswitch that controls the expression of the guaA gene, including organisms which are resistant to certain antibiotic families, and which are useful as antibacterial agents for treatment or prophylaxis of bacterial infections in animals or in humans, in particular but not limited to infections of the mammary gland, or their use as antiseptics, agents for sterilization or disinfection. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120041252 | DEVICE FOR ORIENTING AN OBJECT ACCORDING TO A GIVEN SPATIAL ORIENTATION - There is disclosed a device for orienting an object according to a given spatial orientation. The device comprises a frame and a supporting member connected to the frame and adapted for supporting at least a portion of the object. The device for orienting an object comprises a plurality of fluid actuated devices for displacing the supporting member with respect to the frame. Each of the fluid actuated devices is actuatable between a first position wherein the device has a first length and a second position wherein the device has a second length. The device for orienting comprises an actuation mechanism comprising a plurality of actuating valves for actuating the corresponding fluid actuated device; wherein an actuation of at least one of the fluid actuated devices enables to displace the supporting member with respect to the frame, thereby orienting the object according to the given spatial orientation. The device for orienting may be of particular interest in the medical sector as a medical object manipulator for reaching a given target in an anatomical structure with a suitable accuracy, for example in the treatment and/or diagnosis of prostate cancer. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20110064559 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING TONAL NOISE FROM SUBSONIC FANS - A method and apparatus for reducing a selected tonal noise generated by a fan operating in a non-uniform flow by locating at least one obstruction in the non-uniform flow such that the at least one obstruction generates a noise that is out of phase with the selected tonal noise. The noise generated by the at least one obstruction interferes with the selected tonal noise, thus reducing the selected tonal noise. It is also contemplated to use additional obstructions to reduce other tonal noises generated by the fan. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20090203519 | NON-POROUS CATALYSTS FOR CO2 SEQUESTRATION THROUGH DRY REFORMING - A carbon sequestration and dry reforming process for the production of synthesis gas and sequestered carbon from carbon dioxide. Two-dimension (non-porous) catalysts for sequestering carbon are also disclosed and a process to produce same as well as a method for activating two dimension catalysts. | 08-13-2009 |
