The scoring is conducted by a high energy means such as a laser. The nozzle is located in proximity to the glass sheet, creating gas in liquid used to quench the glass located in the nozzle (e.g., water). The gas (e.g., air bubbles) is removed from the quenching liquid. Then, the spray nozzle is used to spray the quenching liquid onto the sheet at a location trailing laser scoring of the sheet, such as using a traveling anvil machine at the bottom of the draw. The spray nozzle (purge nozzle) has a purge opening and tubing leading to a discharge location. The purge nozzle can have a sloped passageway that pre-stages gas bubbles near the purge opening in the nozzle. The spray nozzle can include a cooling coil passing around the nozzle passageway that enables a coolant to travel along the coil. This cools the quenching liquid passing through the nozzle, and increases the solubility of bubbles in the quenching liquid in the nozzle. A gas filter can receive gas-rich quenching liquid from the pressurized quenching liquid source, remove gas from the liquid, and send gas-depleted quenching liquid to the spray nozzle. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20110034522 | METHODS FOR ALLEVIATING DELETERIOUS EFFECTS OF 3-DEOXYGLUCOSONE - Disclosed is a class of compounds which inhibit the enzymatic conversion of fructose-lysine into fructose-lysine-3-phosphate in an ATP dependent reaction in a newly discovered metabolic pathway. According to the normal functioning on this pathway, fructose-lysine-3-phosphate (FL3P) is broken down to form free lysine, inorganic phosphate and 3-deoxyglucosone (3DG), the latter being a reactive protein modifying agent. 3DG can be detoxified by reduction to 3-deoxyfructose (3DF), or it can react with endogenous proteins to form advanced glycation end-product modified proteins (AGE-proteins) Also disclosed are therapeutic methods of using such inhibitors to alleviate deleterious effects of 3DG. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20100127454 | Game of Strategy Having Dividable Game Pieces - A game of strategy includes a plurality of game pieces that are dividable into smaller game pieces. The game pieces initially comprise some in a first color and some in a second color. The game pieces are arranged in a pattern on a playing surface to define a playing field. Each of the pieces has a legal shape such that the pieces may only be divided into legal shapes. The game pieces may be one or more of divided, joined, swapped and captured during play. A process for playing a game of strategy is also described. A winning position for a game of strategy includes a contiguous chain of game pieces of a single color that extends from one or both of the left side to the right side and the top side to the bottom side of a playing field. A notation system for describing the moves of play is also described. | 05-27-2010 |
