20090323075 | FLEXURAL DISC FIBER OPTIC SENSOR - A fiber optic sensor employs a central support structure and at least two flexural discs spaced apart from one another along a central axis. Radially-inner portions of the flexural discs are rigidly attached to the central support structure. A fiber optic coil is affixed to one of the flexural discs. At least one proof mass is disposed between the flexural discs. Coupling means rigidly connects together radially outer edge portions of the flexural discs and rigidly connects the at least one proof mass to such outer edge portions. The flexibility of the axially-aligned outer-edge-connected flexural disc arrangement, together with the outer-edge-connected proof mass, provide for a relatively large response to axial forces. The radial stiffness of the axially-aligned outer-edge-connected flexural disc arrangement minimizes the response to non-axial forces. By limiting the response to non-axial forces, unwanted cross-axis sensitivity of the device is reduced and unwanted resonances are eliminated. The seismic mass may comprise a tungsten body. | 12-31-2009 |

Such tissue damage may arise from disease, exposure to injurious chemicals (e.g., due to poisoning, chemotherapy, chemical weapons), or exposure to injurious radiation (e.g., due to nuclear power accidents, radiological weapons, radiation therapy). Because these proteins are secreted in response to epithelial tissue damage, some of them are implicated in tissue repair response or an inflammatory response which prolongs or exacerbates the tissue damage. Examples of these proteins include FXYD 3, FXYD 4, and FXYD 5. Diagnostic methods based upon the role of the FXYD proteins in epithelial tissue damage are disclosed. Also provided are antibodies raised against the FXYD family proteins, a kit for detecting at least an epitope of a polypeptide, a method of producing an antibody raised against an epitope of a polypeptide, and a method of diagnosing damage to an epithelial tissue. | 07-19-2012 |

20150335128 | HAIR DRYER - The invention relates to hair dryers. Various techniques for improving air flow in hair dryers are described, including a hair dryer providing laminar flow air. In another variant a hair dryer has a two air flow channels: one a hot air channel the other a cool air channel, with the cool air channel circumscribing the hot air channel. The nozzle end of the hair dryer is arranged such that the cool air channel extends forward of the hot air channel outlet. This allows a hair dryer to be placed close to, or on, a person's hair/head without and risk of burning the person's head. A hair dryer with external power supply is also described which reduces the weight of the housing held by a user. | 11-26-2015 |
