20080246251 | WHEELCHAIR ATTACHMENTS - Attachments for a manual wheelchair are provided for navigating a wheelchair over obstacles and uneven terrain, such as a typical curb on a street. The attachments provide for regulating the movement of the wheelchair as the wheelchair descends the curb and to prevent the wheelchair from flipping over during such movement. The attachments include a front caster wheel slider assembly on each side of the wheelchair, a follower wheel assembly and a track belt damping bar. The front caster wheel slider assembly includes a piston that will quickly push the front caster wheels down after they roll over the top edge of the curb. The follower wheel assembly acts a sensor that will release the piston in the assembly after the front caster wheels roll over the top edge of the curb. As the back wheels of the wheelchair roll over and down the curb, the track belt damping bar slows the descent of the wheelchair. | 10-09-2008 |

20080245930 | HIGH INTENSITY LASER POWER BEAMING RECEIVER FOR SPACE AND TERRESTRIAL APPLICATIONS - Systems and methods are described that facilitate refueling a vehicle with electrical energy by targeting receiver thereon and pointing a high-intensity laser source at the receiver. Vertical multi-junction (VMJ) photocells receive the laser energy and convert the laser energy into electrical energy. The laser source can operate at a range of output power levels depending on the vehicle's energy needs. The laser source can be pulsed or continuous near-infrared laser source. A heat exchanger can be coupled to the receiver to dissipate laser energy not converted into electrical energy. If the vehicle has a propeller, the heat exchanger can be mounted to the vehicle in the propeller wash path. | 10-09-2008 |
20090171477 | LASER GENERATED SYNTHETIC MEGA SCALE APERTURE FOR SOLAR ENERGY CONCENTRATION AND HARNESSING - Systems and methods are described that employ high-intensity lasers to set up a thin plasma sheet, also called a waveguide or “hot shell”, in the atmosphere as a function of beam intensity and geometry. A laser beam can be spread and directed with physical optics (e.g., lenses, mirrors, other optical elements, etc.) to generate a thin inverted cone-shaped hot shell waveguide in the atmosphere. The hot shell of the waveguide has a different index of refraction (n) from that of the surrounding air layers and as such serves to internally reflect portions of the entering solar rays entering an aperture in the hot shell, toward the tip of the cone and a solar energy storage component positioned there, thus providing a virtual solar energy concentration system. In another embodiment, the solar energy storage component shuts down or otherwise rejects incoming solar energy when fully charged, to mitigate damage to system components. | 07-02-2009 |

20140065918 | METHOD OF PRODUCING RAPID HEATING OF A CATHODE INSTALLED IN A THERMIONIC EMISSION ASSEMBLY - A thermionic emission assembly includes a Wehnelt cap that has a cap beam aperture and a cavity within which a cathode is supported. Electrical energy applied to the cathode causes it to reach a sufficiently high temperature to emit a beam of electrons that propagate through the cap beam aperture. An anode having an anode beam aperture is positioned in spatial alignment with the cap beam aperture to receive the electrons. The anode accelerates the electrons and directs them through the anode beam aperture for incidence on a target specimen. A ceramic base forms a combined interface that electrically and thermally separates the Wehnelt cap and the anode. The thermal isolation of the Wehnelt cap from the anode allows the Wehnelt cap to increase in heat to rapidly reach a stable temperature as the cathode emits the beam of electrons. | 03-06-2014 |

20090238813 | Compositions And Methods For Engineered Human Arginine Deiminases - The present invention discloses the engineering of a human enzyme with arginine hydrolytic activity suitable for human therapy. An enzyme comprising of a human sequence is not likely to induce adverse immunological responses and thus is expected to constitute a superior therapeutic. Since the human genome does not encode arginases with the proper high affinity catalytic properties (i.e., for example, a low Km and high catalytic activity, kcat) an appropriate arginase can be engineered by modifying an enzyme with related catalytic activity. For example, the human enzyme PAD4 can hydrolyze arginine in peptide substrates but does not have activity for free arginine. First, a high throughput assay was developed for detecting arginine activity by monitoring the formation of the hydrolytic product citrulline. Then, using a combination of rational design and iterative mutation and screening PAD4 mutants were identified and isolated exhibiting high affinity free arginine metabolic activity. These mutants did not retain activity for their original substrate, peptidyl arginine. | 09-24-2009 |
