20100117860TRAFFIC LIGHT WARNING SYSTEM - The invention relates to traffic control and can be used for controlling the traffic of private cars, buses, motorcycles etc, substantially in cities. The aim of said invention is to increase the reliability and the service life of a device and to simplify the structural design thereof The inventive traffic light warning system comprises at least one set consisting of a main traffic signal and at least one additional traffic signal which is placed in a traffic direction prior to the main traffic signal at a specified distance there from. Said additional traffic signal comprises at least one indicating light which is used for duplicating the indications of the corresponding indicating light of the main traffic signal. The indicating lights of the main and additional traffic signals are switched in parallel. The indicating lights of the main and additional traffic signals can be embodied in the form of incandescent lamps or light-emitting diodes or of the combination thereof05-13-2010

20090258348ESTERASES FOR MONITORING PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS IN VITRO - The present invention relates to the use of an esterase for monitoring and/or tracking the synthesis of a protein, polypeptide or peptide in a cell-free translation system or in an in vivo expression system in which the synthesis of a protein, polypeptide or peptide can occur, wherein said monitoring and/or tracking comprises the detection of the function of said esterase. The present invention further relates to a vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule coding for an esterase and expressing an esterase fusionprotein. Moreover, the present invention relates to a vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule coding for an esterase and comprising in frame at least one multiple cloning site for a further protein/polypeptide/peptide, to be expressed in form of a fusion protein comprising said esterase (esterase activity) and said further proteinaceous peptide structure. The present invention also provides for a protein, polypeptide or peptide encoded by the vectors of the present invention. Additionally, the present invention relates to a kit comprising a vector of the present invention or a nucleic acid molecule as comprised by the vectors of the present invention. Also disclosed is a method for monitoring and/or tracking the synthesis of a protein, polypeptide or peptide in a cell-free translation system or in an in vivo expression system, comprising the step of detecting the function of an esterase. The present invention also teaches a method for immobilising a protein, polypeptide or peptide comprising the steps of (a) tagging said protein, polypeptide or peptide with an esterase and (b) binding said esterase to an esterase inhibitor, wherein said esterase inhibitor is immobilized on a solid substrate. Moreover, the present invention relates to uses of the vectors of the present invention or the nucleic acid molecules comprised therein for the preparation of a kit or for monitoring and/or tracking the synthesis of a protein, polypeptide or peptide in a cell-free translation system, whereby the monitoring and/or tracking comprises the detection of the function of said esterase.10-15-2009

20090064983Methods, Wires, and Apparatus for Slicing Hard Materials - Methods, wires, and apparatus for use in cutting (e.g., slicing) hard, brittle materials is provided. The wire can be a super-abrasive wire that includes a wire core and super-abrasive particles bonded to the wire core via a metal bonding layer. This wire, or another type of wire, can be used to slice workpieces useful for producing wafers. The workpieces can be aligned within a holder to produce wafers using the device and methods presently provided. The holder rotates about its central axis, which translates to workpieces moving in orbit around this axis. A single abrasive wire, or multiple turns of wire stretched tightly between wire guides, is then contacted with the rotating holder to slice the workpieces.03-12-2009

20080216571Convective Accelerometer with "Positive' or "Negative" Inertial Mass - This invention relates to high precision, fluid-containing, transducer-based accelerometers that are capable of measuring acceleration, inclination, position and velocity by measuring the electronic response of a transducer to fluid flow caused by external acceleration or by free convection. The accelerometers of this invention are capable of varying the local density of the fluid, thereby creating a volume of fluid with a lower or higher density compared to the rest of the fluid in the accelerometer. The movement of this volume of lower or higher density fluid as a result of external acceleration is measured to determine the external acceleration.09-11-2008
20100116053Convective Accelerometer - A convective accelerometer capable of measuring linear or angular acceleration, velocity, or angle of inclination is provided. The accelerometer comprises sensing elements that are sensitive to convection located inside a sealed housing containing a liquid agent. Applied external acceleration causes forced convection of the liquid agent, which produces variations in an electric current produced by the sensing elements that are proportional to the applied acceleration or angle of inclination. The accelerometer has a small size, extremely wide frequency and dynamic ranges, high sensitivity, simple design and is suitable for mass production. The device has a wide range of application, such as stabilization and control systems, homeland security, and oil exploration.05-13-2010
