20090325882CHAPERONIN 10 MODULATION OF TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR-INDUCIBLE CYTOKINE AND CHEMOKINE SECRETION - Methods of use of Chaperonin 10 (Cpn10) are provided for regulating Toll-like receptor signaling and/or Toll-like receptor inducible immunomodulator secretion. Cpn10 negatively regulates Toll-like receptor agonist-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine secretion, examples being IL-6 and RANTES, respectively. Cpn10 positively regulates Toll-like receptor agonist-induced anti-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine secretion, an example being IL-10. These immunoregulatory activities of Cpn10 may be useful in the treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions resulting from excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine secretion. This invention also relates to producing, designing and/or screening Cpn10 agonists and antagonists according to their ability to regulate Toll-like receptor signaling and/or Toll-like receptor inducible immunomodulator secretion.12-31-2009

20090305400Modified chaperonin 10 - A novel granule dispersion composition which comprises water and, dispersed therein, a finely pulverized, sparingly water-soluble substance. The granule dispersion composition is prepared by dispersing in water a granular material which comprises a specific substance sparingly soluble in water, a polymer, and an oil and has an average particle diameter of 1 μm or smaller and in which the ratio of the total weight of the polymer and oil to the weight of the specific substance is 1.5 or higher.12-10-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080281033Long fiber reinforced composites - A composite comprising from about 20 to 40 weight % of fiber reinforcing having a nominal length of not less than 1.25 cm, from about 1 to 10 weight % of a polar polymer and from 79 to 50 weight % of a polyolefin prepared using a single site catalyst has improved physical properties over comparable compositions made using polyolefins made using Ziegler Natta catalysts. The composites are suitable in many applications including construction and particularly in making concrete forms.11-13-2008
20080289274Half panel - The present invention provides a half panel having on its back ribs defining symmetrically complimentary closed wall open faced cells and ribs having spaces there between. The half panel may be placed in back to back relationship and rotated through a required degree of rotation so that the open faced closed wall cells and ribs having spaces there between interlock so the open faced closed wall cells have at least one diagonal cross member. This provides a rigid panel suitable for a number of applications including forms for pouring concrete.11-27-2008

20110238536METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING ITEM SELECTION ERROR IN AN E-COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT - Methods and systems for displaying, to a user interface, categories of items for the user to select from for querying the system, in order to enable the system to return to the user images of items of the type desired by the user for possible purchase. The items categories of items can be presented to the user interface visually in silhouette form so that the user can select brand and the silhouette image of the type of item desired. Upon selection of the silhouette image, a query is sent to the system and images of the desired type of item are returned to the user interface for presentation to the user, along with certain attributes of the items.09-29-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110232176Modular Plant Support Structure - The present invention is a modular support for vine plants and tomato plants. It comprises a solid, cylindrical base with holes to accept posts and associate tier rings. A cover may also be provided to transform the base into a miniature hot house. Notches may be formed in the rim of the base to accommodate irrigation systems and stake ends may be provided for the posts to allow immediate securement of the posts to the ground rather than the base. The solid base contains water, mulch and other beneficial compounds for the plants and helps block the spread of weeds immediately around the plant. As the plant grows, additional tiers may be added to the support to increase its size. The parts are preferably made of a durable plastic so as to support larger plants and increase longevity of the support.09-29-2011

20100008079LED INSPECTION LAMP AND LED SPOTLIGHT - An LED inspection lamp has plurality of LED sources for emitting electromagnetic radiation at different peak wavelengths for causing visible fluorescence in different leak detection dyes. A lens is associated with each LED. Radiation passing through lenses is superimposed in target area at target distance. Another LED inspection lamp has plurality of LEDs emitting electromagnetic radiation at a peak wavelength. A lens adaptor has lens housing for attachment to LED inspection lamp with a single LED for causing visible fluorescence, and a lens. Substantially all of the radiation from the LED passes through the lens and is focused in a target area at a target distance from the lenses. LED spot lights have a similar configuration. The LEDs may produce white light from distinct LEDs or from white LEDs. The light may be a flashlight or fixed spot light.01-14-2010
20100008082LED work light - A light comprising an LED whose light intensity decreases as the angle from an axis of the LED increases, and a convex lens associated with the LED such that a beam width of the LED is concentrated by the lens into a narrower beam width, wherein the convex lens includes both a convex surface and a concave surface, and the concave surface is curved more sharply towards its edge than towards its center such that light is more evenly spread across the beam width of the lens.01-14-2010

20110287712System for wireless communications through sea vessel hull - The present invention discloses a system for wireless communications and/or data transfer through a sea-vessel hull by means of electric and/or magnetic coupling between first and second transducers located on opposing sides of the hull. Transmit and receive transducers located on opposing sides of the hull are clamped around cables which penetrate the hull and which are fed through pressure hull glands in the hull. The inductive transducers couple electric and/or magnetic signals through the sea vessel hull via paths through the pressure hull glands or via paths through the cables. The system for wireless communication and/or data transfer of the present invention is capable of operation through an electrically conductive sea vessel hull which would ordinarily present a physical barrier against the transmission of such signals. The system can be deployed on an ad ad-hoc basis and is capable of providing high data rate and high bandwidth communications and/or data transfer through the sea vessel hull. The system does not interfere with existing cabled systems penetrating the hull via the pressure hull glands. In particular, the system of the present invention requires no modification of existing hardware nor does it require any modification of the hull for operation.11-24-2011
