Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110043112POWER CONTROL - An apparatus for driving a voltage source such as a discharge or LED lamp using a power booster receiving an AC voltage source configured through an inductor to turn on and off periodically in response to a duty cycle of a dimming control signal or a transformer starting a new cycle, for regulating a low voltage AC signal. The booster control circuitry adjusting the current feed to a determined target boost voltage according to sensed input from primarily a single comparator which compares any one of (but not limited to) a) the output boosted voltage, b) the globe current, or c) the inductor input current.02-24-2011

20090208565STABILIZED EXENDIN-4 COMPOUNDS - The present invention discloses compositions comprising a stabilized Exendin-4 (1-39) and related compounds. The invention describes stabilized Exendin-4 agonists that include at least one modified amino acid residue particularly at positions Gln13, Met14, Trp25, or Asn28 of the Exendin-4 (1-39) molecule. Disclosed are preferred modifications of deaminated, hydrolyzed, oxidized, or isomerized reaction products of the specified amino acid residues corresponding to the same positions in the Exendin-4 (1-39) molecule. The invention also relates to methods of making and using the stabilized Exendin compounds, such as for the treatment of diabetes.08-20-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100307034STEAM IRON - A steam iron is described. The steam iron includes a housing, a handle defined at an upper portion of the housing, a soleplate carried on a base portion of the housing, a heating assembly carried in the housing and in thermal communication with the soleplate, a spray outlet, a water reservoir defined in the housing, and a pump assembly. The pump assembly includes a first mechanical pump which is manually operable to pump water from the reservoir and deliver a shot of steam from the soleplate, and a second mechanical pump manually operable to pump water from the reservoir and deliver a spray of water from the spray outlet. The steam iron also includes an underhandle trigger for manually operating one of the first and second mechanical pumps, the underhandle trigger being located beneath the handle, and an upper trigger for manually operating the other of the first and second mechanical pumps, the upper trigger being located in an upper portion of the iron housing.12-09-2010

20100024434Gas turbine engine arrangement - A gas turbine engine arrangement (02-04-2010
20110174401COMPRESSOR FOR PRESSURISING CARBON DIOXIDE - A compressor is provided for pressurising carbon dioxide produced by a carbon dioxide production plant and introducing the pressurised carbon dioxide to a carbon dioxide sequestration system. The compressor has a measuring system which determines the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the production plant. It also has a control system which varies the power of the compressor depending on the determined amount of produced carbon dioxide.07-21-2011
20110296811Heat transfer arrangement for fluid-washed surfaces - A heat transfer arrangement for a fluid-washed body having first and second ends and a fluid-washed surface extending there-between. The arrangement includes a heat transfer member extending from the first end at least part way along the body towards the second end. A heat source is arranged in use to heat the heat transfer member in the vicinity of the first end of the body. A plurality of thermal control layers are provided on the heat transfer member, each of the layers having a different thermal conductivity and being juxtaposed so as to create a thermal conductivity profile which varies along the length of the member. The arrangement may be used for prevention of icing of an aerofoil body such as a blade, vane or the like.12-08-2011
