20150218761 | Extendable Screed Height Adjusting System with Angle of Attack Adjustment - An extendable screed has independent height and angle of attack adjustment for a lower extender frame. At least one post and cylinder assembly are used to couple the lower extender frame to an upper extender frame at a pin that allows rotation of the lower extender frame relative to the upper extender frame. A vertical adjuster uses a drive rod with a pivoting attachment at the lower extender frame. An axis of rotation of the pin and an axis of rotation of the pivoting attachment are co-linear. This arrangement allows lower extender frame to move vertically while allowing angle of attack adjustments to be made about the co-linear axes of rotation. Simple screw adjusters displaced from the axis of the pin and collet assemblies allow raising and lowering the back of the lower extender frame to adjust the angle of attack. | 08-06-2015 |

20080232801 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING DOCSIS COMMUNICATION SIGNALS OVER A PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK - A translation agent adapts DOCSIS information, primarily QoS information, for transmission over a PON. The agent places into an IP address field of a DHCP message the MAC address of an ONU associated with a CPE device attempting to register with a CMTS. The translation agent intercepts DHCP reply messages from the DHCP server using the MAC address of the ONU. The translation agent extracts information, including an IP address of the client CPE assigned by the DHCP server. The agent downloads a configuration file for the CPE device using the configuration filename and configuration file server contained in a DHCP reply message. Information contained in the configuration file is converted from content in a format used by DOCSIS, to content in a format used by PON devices. The translated content includes QoS parameters, functions related to which are controlled at the ONU by an OLT coupled to the CMTS. | 09-25-2008 |

20140072654 | CANCER WITH METABOLIC THERAPY AND HYPERBARIC OXYGEN - The present invention demonstrates the therapeutic use of ketone esters for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease malignant brain cancer, and other cancers, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation. The administration of a ketogenic diet, such as ketone esters, while concurrently subjecting the patient to a hyperbaric, oxygen-enriched environment resulted in therapeutic ketosis. Optionally, the hyperbaric, oxygen-enriched environment is 100% oxygen at 2.5 ATA absolute. The ketone esters may be derived from acetoacetate and can include R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate monoester, R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate diester, or a combination of the two. The treatment may further include administering at least 10% ketone supplementation, such as acetoacetate, adenosine monophosphate kinase, 1,3-butanediol, or ketone ester, to the patient. | 03-13-2014 |
20140073693 | USE OF KETONE ESTERS FOR PREVENTION OF CNS OXYGEN TOXICITY - The present invention demonstrates the therapeutic use of ketone esters for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation. The administration of ketone esters resulted therapeutic ketosis and neuroprotection against seizures resulting from CNS oxygen toxicity. Supplemental ketones were also found to reduce superoxide production in cultured cortex neurons exposed to hyperbaric oxygen and Aβ-42, and to decrease proliferation and viability in U87 glioma cells. These observations support the therapeutic effect of ketones for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer. The ketone esters may be derived from acetoacetate and can include R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate monoester, R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate diester, or a combination of the two. | 03-13-2014 |
20140350105 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING ELEVATED AND SUSTAINED KETOSIS - Beta-hydroxybutyrate mineral salts in combination with medium chain fatty acids or an ester thereof such as medium chain triglycerides were used to induce ketosis, achieving blood ketone levels of (2-7 mmol/L), with or without dietary restriction. The combination results in substantial improvements in metabolic biomarkers related to insulin resistance, diabetes, weight loss, and physical performance in a short period of time. Further, use of these supplements to achieve ketosis yields a significant elevation of blood ketones and reduction of blood glucose levels. Use of these substances does not adversely affect lipid profiles. By initiating rapid ketosis and accelerating the rate of ketoadaptation, this invention is useful for the avoidance of glucose withdrawal symptoms commonly experienced by individuals initiating a ketogenic diet, and minimizes the loss of lean body mass during dietary restriction. | 11-27-2014 |
