| 20100012684 | DISPENSER FOR GRANULES AND POWDERS - A gravity-fed, manually-operable dispenser for sugar, creamer and other particles and granules is comprised of a particulate reservoir affixed to a dispensing base by engagement tabs and slots. The tabs and slots allow the dispenser to be easily disassembled for maintenance and cleaning. The base encloses a substantially cylindrical rotating measuring/dispensing vane that has several hollow apertures into which particulates flow from the reservoir. The vane rides on a smooth, flat surface that seals or closes off the apertures. An opening in the flat surface of the dispensing base allows particulates in a full aperture to fall through and out of the base. A soft gasket over surfaces of the vane that would otherwise make direct contact with the base portion prevent the vane from becoming lodged in place by crystalline material. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100176157 | SEASONING DISPENSER - Fixed amounts of granular and granulated seasonings are dispensed from a rotatable disc that lies flat or horizontal and which includes a through-hole or void. The void is gravity-filled with granulated seasonings from a hole in the bottom of a hopper. A screen below the disc is formed to have open, through-holes and a solid land. The void in the disc fills with granules when the void is beneath a hole in the hopper but over a solid land thus preventing granules to spill through the disc. Rotation of the disc moves the void away from the land, allowing granules in the void to fall through holes in the screen. A gasket provides a seal between the disc and the hopper. The disc is rotated back and forth around its axis by vertical movement of an actuator about the horizontal hinge. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20120095058 | Method of preventing survival of retrovirally cells and of inhibiting formation of infectious retroviruses - The present invention discloses compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which are highly effective at inhibiting the accumulation of spliced and unspliced viral transcripts and their utilization for viral protein synthesis at cellular ribosomes, and at inhibiting the formation of the hypusine residue in cellular eIF-5A precursor proteins, the cellular cofactors that render spliced and unspliced viral transcripts translatable at the ribosomes of infectled cells. The invention further relates to methods of using such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions therefrom for inhibiting or preventing viral protein synthesis. Such inhibition cause a dose-dependent release from the virally induced arrest of the otherwise genetically preprogrammed apoptosis of virally infected cells, and in consequence, triggers their apoptotic ablation and the eradication of the chronic infection-mediating provirus integrated into their genome. | 04-19-2012 |
