20100269619MECHANICAL LINKAGES FOR CONTROLS ON BICYCLES - Conventional linkages between bicycle handlebar-mounted controls and rear brakes and gears are unable to accommodate unlimited rotation of the handlebars as is required on some so-called “freestyle” bicycles. A prior attempt to solve the problem employs a linkage comprising a bearing having two parts that are relatively rotatable about an axis. However this proposal is unable to handle situations where there are two or more mechanisms to be controlled e.g. a rear brake and a gear. The problem is solved by using multiple bearings (10-28-2010

20100194073MECHANICAL LINKAGES BETWEEN MOVING MACHINE PARTS - Conventional linkages between bicycle handlebar-mounted controls and rear brakes and gears are unable to accommodate unlimited rotation of the handlebars as is required on some so-called “freestyle” bicycles. A prior attempt to solve the problem employs a linkage comprising a bearing having two parts that are relatively rotatable about an axis. However this proposal is unable to handle situations where there are two or more mechanisms to be controlled e.g. a rear brake and a gear. Another problem is that dirt between the bearing surfaces may cause the bearing to jam. The invention provides pins (08-05-2010

20110020242HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN-LIKE PEPTIDE-PHOSPHOLIPID SCAFFOLD ("HPPS") NANOPARTICLES - The present invention provides a non-naturally occurring High-Density Lipoprotein-like peptide-phospholipid scaffold (“HPPS”) nanoparticle. More particularly, the invention provides a non-naturally occurring peptide-lipid nanoscaffold comprising: (a) at least one phospholipid; (b) at least one unsaturated lipid, preferably an unsaturated sterol ester, further preferably an unsaturated cholesterol ester, further preferably cholsteryl oleate; and (c) at least one peptide, the peptide comprising an amino acid sequence capable of forming at least one amphipathic a-helix; wherein the components a), b) and c) associate to form the peptide-phospholipid nanoscaffold. In embodiments of the present invention, a cell surface receptor ligand is incorporated into the HPPS. In one embodiment, the cell surface receptor ligand is covalently bonded to the peptide scaffold of the HPPS nanoparticles. In other embodiments, a cell surface receptor ligand is coupled to a lipid anchor and is displayed on the surface of the HPPS nanoparticles by incorporation of the lipid anchor into the phospholipids monolayer of the HPPS nanoparticle. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising HPPS nanoparticles and methods of making the HPPS nanoparticles.01-27-2011

20120055586VARIABLE MELTING POINT SOLDERS - The present invention relates to variable melting point solder formulations. The solder is comprised of at least one base metal or base metal alloy, preferably alloyed with at least one melting point depressant metal, such that the solidus point of the solder composition is reduced to an initial solidus temperature. Said base metal or base metal alloy, alloyed with at least one melting point depressant metal is mixed with at least one additive metal or additive metal alloy. When heated to a process temperature above said initial solidus temperature, a reaction occurs between the melting point depressant metal, and the additive metal, such that solidification occurs at the process temperature via the formation of intermetallic phases, effectively increasing the solidus of the base metal, and of the overall solder.03-08-2012
