| 20110296962 | Coupling Mechanisms for Detachable Engaging Tool Attachments - Coupling mechanisms for engaging and releasing a tool attachment such as a socket from a drive element include an engaging element and an actuating element. The actuating element can include a collar or other manually-accessible part, and various features allow for a relatively small outside diameter for the collar or other part. These features include configuring the actuating element to contact the engaging element within the drive element, placing the biasing elements within the drive element, and forming guides for parts of the actuating element within the drive element. Also, the engaging element can move along a direction that is oriented at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the drive element, in whole or in part. The engaging element can have a first part that moves obliquely in the drive element and a second part that moves radially in the drive element to engage the tool attachment. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20090206011 | Vibrating Screen Apparatus - A vibrating screen apparatus for sizing materials is shown that has a minimum of moving parts therein. A vibrating motor is mounted below longitudinal vibrating rails. The vibrating rails rest on top of shoes attached to air mounts, which air mounts are between the vibrating rails and cross braces connected to the frame. The shoes are located inside of angled clips and attached on the underside of the vibrating rails. The angled clips hold the vibrating rails in position. The vibrating rails press against the underside of a vibrating screen to form a crown therein when the air mounts are inflated. The vibrating screen is stretched between the sides of the frame by tensioning rails. Multiple size materials can be produced by stacking multiple vibrating screen apparatuses. Access is provided to lower vibrating screens by pivoting upper vibrating screens out of the way. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20090188969 | WELD METAL MATERIAL APPARATUS AND METHOD - A solid weld-metal-producing material is formed by agglomerating weld metal material powder. An igniter may be integrally formed in or on the agglomerated weld metal material. In addition to typical components of a weld metal material mixture, such as a reductant metal and a transition metal oxide, the agglomerated weld metal mixture may include a binder material, such as sodium silicate. In addition to functioning as a binder to help hold the agglomerated weld metal material together, the binder material may aid in the exothermic reaction that occurs when the weld metal material is ignited. The agglomerated weld metal material may be made by mixing together a reductant metal powder, a transition metal oxide powder, and possibly a binder solution. A slurry of the components may be pressed together, for example, using a die and a ram, and then may be dried. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20090142453 | Nutraceutical Coatings fo Fruits and Vegetables - A preharvest coating for fruits, vegetables and other plants includes a primary ingredient for protecting the fruit, vegetable or plant from physical harm or damage during growing and harvesting and/or for enhancing the appearance of the fruit, vegetable or plant. In addition, the coating includes a nutraceutical component that may provide health beneficial effects to human consumers of the fruit, vegetable or plant. Such nutraceutical components can include phytonutrients such as flavonoids, stilbenes or other phytochemicals. Preferably, the nutraceutical component is included in an otherwise conventional coating and is applied by means of preharvest thermofogging of the fruit, vegetable or plant. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20090283009 | PASSENGER RAIL CAR - A passenger rail car includes a lower passenger compartment that includes a plurality of passenger seats. The passenger rail car also includes an upper passenger compartment that includes a plurality of passenger seats. A control cab for a rail car operator is elevated above the floor of the lower passenger compartment, and is located forward of the passenger seats and behind the crash energy management region. The front end of the passenger rail car may be slanted to provide a greater field of view for the rail car operator. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20110099644 | MIG-6 KNOCKOUT MICE AND ELUCIDATION OF ASSOCIATION OF MIG-6 WITH EARLY ONSET DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE AND ROLE AS A TUMOR SUPPRESSOR - The molecular mechanism underlying degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis (OA), is not fully understood. Disruption of mitogen inducible gene 6 (Mig-6) in mice by homologous recombination (KO mice) led to early onset OA as revealed by simultaneous enlargement and deformity of multiple joints, degradation of articular cartilage and the development of bony outgrowths or osteophytes within the joint space. The latter appeared to be derived from proliferation of mesenchymal progenitor cells followed by differentiation into chondrocytes. Because of the striking similarity to human OA, Mig-6 KO mice are a useful animal model for studying the mechanism of this disease and for testing new drugs or therapies for treating OA. These KO mice also developed epithelial hyperplasia, adenoma, and adenocarcinoma in organs such as lung, gallbladder, and bile duct. Mig-6 is therefore a tumor suppressor gene and is a candidate gene for the frequent Ip36 genetic alterations found in lung cancer. It can be used as a tumor biomarker as well as a target for cancer therapy. Mig-6 is located in human chromosome Ip36, a locus frequently associated with human lung cancer. Mig-6 is a negative regulator of EGF signaling, and like EGF, was induced by HGF/SF in human lung cancer cell lines. Frequently the receptors EGFR and Met were co-expressed, and Mig-6 was induced by both EGF and HGF/SF in a MAPK-dependent fashion. Not all tumor lines express Mig-6 in response to either EGF or HGF/SF. In these cases, missense and nonsense mutations in the Mig-6 coding region were found, as was evidence for Mig-6 transcriptional silencing. | 04-28-2011 |
