20110178069 | INHIBITORS OF INTERLEUKIN-1 BETA CONVERTING ENZYME - The present invention relates to novel classes of compounds which are inhibitors of interleukin-1β converting enzyme. The ICE inhibitors of this invention are characterized by specific structural and physicochemical features. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of this invention are particularly well suited for inhibiting ICE activity and consequently, may be advantageously used as agents against IL-1-, apoptosis-, IGIF-, and IFN-γ-mediated diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, destructive bone disorders, proliferative disorders, infectious diseases, degenerative diseases, and necrotic diseases. This invention also relates to methods for inhibiting ICE activity, for treating interleukin-1-, apoptosis-, IGIF- and IFN-γ-mediated diseases and decreasing IGIF and IFN-γ production using the compounds and compositions of this invention. This invention also relates to methods for preparing N-acylamino compounds. | 07-21-2011 |

20130022316 | Fiber Coupling Technique on a Waveguide - An optical coupling assembly for coupling light from an optical fiber including an angled tip into a planar waveguide via a waveguide coupling element is provided. In one embodiment, the optical fiber extends along the planar waveguide with the angled tip positioned such that light propagating in the optical fiber is coupled by the waveguide coupling element to propagate in the planar waveguide in counter propagation with respect to a fiber propagation direction. In another embodiment, the optical fiber includes a tapered peripheral portion tapering toward the angled tip and is disposed over the planar waveguide with the tapered peripheral portion extending therealong such that light propagating in the optical fiber is coupled to propagate in the planar waveguide with either forward or counter propagation. Embodiments of the present invention may be part of various photonic integrated circuits and may be manufactured more easily than known optical coupling assemblies. | 01-24-2013 |

20120198970 | Oil Filter Removal Tool With Integral Oil Retaining Reservoir - An oil filter removal tool having a base and axially compressible bellows attached at a liquid-tight joint to the base that telescopes over an oil filter being removed defining a container that collects excess oil during filter removal. Base has a filter engaging recess with a fluid passage enabling oil collected during removal to flow into a reservoir between the filter and base. Another reservoir formed between filter and bellows holds additional oil. Joint is formed by a seating arrangement having a configuration that also strengthens the tool. Bellows can compress to seal against pan ensuring oil in oil pan and filter that spills during filter removal remains within tool. After removal, bellows can return to its uncompressed length providing a container sidewall extending outwardly beyond filter enabling collected oil to be transported and dumped into a container. | 08-09-2012 |

20100017977 | Walk-Up Workstation Employing Ionizing Air Nozzles and Insulating Panels - A walk-up, user accessible cleaning workstation having a sensor and ionization nozzle arranged on a frame. The frame mounts the sensor in a fixed position to the nozzle in operative proximity to a cleaning area. The frame partially encloses the nozzle's electrode. The sensor detects manual workpiece placement into the cleaning area to open the gas valve and activate the power supply. The panel deflects dust flying off the workpiece from reaching the user's face. The workstation improves safety in the cleaning and destaticizing of ophthalmic lenses. | 01-28-2010 |

20160058236 | VENDING MACHINE HAVING INTEGRATED, USER-ACCESIBLE, SINGLE SERVE BREWER INTERLOCKED WITH AUTHORIZATION UNIT - A vending machine having a housing incorporating an authorization unit, a storage area for storing vendible product, a dispenser for dispensing the vendible product, and an integrated brewer. The vendible product stored in the storage area comprises a cup containing a brew pack and condiments. The integrated brewer is secured to the housing yet has a user-accessible brew chamber in which a consumer can deposit the brew pack associated with the vendible product in order to brew a hot drink. The dispenser is interlocked with the authorization unit such that the dispenser dispenses vendible product in response to a dispense signal from the authorization unit. The integrated brewer is interlocked with the authorization unit such that the integrated brewer is by default inoperative and becomes operative in response to an asserted operation signal from the authorization unit | 03-03-2016 |
