20090239912 | CONCENTRATED, NON-FOAMING SOLUTION OF QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USE - A concentrated quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) solution comprising a QAC with a concentration from greater than about 10% by weight and at least one solubility enhancing agent, such as an alcohol, is disclosed. A diluted QAC solution is used to contact food products to prevent microbial growth on the food products from a broad spectrum of foodborne microbial contamination. A method of contacting the food products with the dilute QAC for an application time of at least 0.1 second is disclosed. The foods that can be treated by this method are meat and meat products, seafood, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, pet foods and snacks, and any other food that can be treated and still retain its appearance and texture. One of the treatment methods is spraying and misting the QAC solutions on the food products for an application time of at least 0.1 second to prevent broad spectrum foodborne microbial contamination. | 09-24-2009 |

20080318855 | DNA ENCODING FOR RECOMBINANT POLYPEPTIDE EMUTANTS OF HUMAN STROMAL CELL-DERIVED FACTOR 1 - This invention is generally directed to a recombinant method of producing SDF-1 receptor antagonists. More particularly, the invention is directed to the isolated and/or recombinant polynucleotide sequences encoding analogs of human SDF-1 alpha or beta and, in particular, SDF-1 analogs having the proline at residue position number 2 replaced with a glycine to provide an SDF-1 receptor antagonist. The recombinant method can be used to produce drugs for a variety of therapeutic uses including, but not limited to, treatment of cancer, inhibiting angiogenesis, and hematopoietic cell proliferation. | 12-25-2008 |
20090098091 | Cyclic peptides for modulating growth of neo-vessels and their use in therapeutic angiogenesis - The present disclosure teaches analogs of human chemokines and methods of using them in the prevention, treatment, and ameliorization of diseases that can benefit from therapeutic angiogenesis. The teachings are generally directed to compositions comprising SDF-1 mimetics, as well as methods that include the use of SDF-1 mimetics to induce neo-vessel formation. The disclosure also teaches articles of manufacture that can be useful in practicing the methods taught herein. | 04-16-2009 |

20090146453 | Vehicle Underbody Fairing - A vehicle underbody fairing apparatus for reducing aerodynamic drag caused by a vehicle wheel assembly, by reducing the size of a recirculation zone formed under the vehicle body immediately downstream of the vehicle wheel assembly. The fairing body has a tapered aerodynamic surface that extends from a front end to a rear end of the fairing body with a substantially U-shaped cross-section that tapers in both height and width. Fasteners or other mounting devices secure the fairing body to an underside surface of the vehicle body, so that the front end is immediately downstream of the vehicle wheel assembly and a bottom section of the tapered aerodynamic surface rises towards the underside surface as it extends in a downstream direction. | 06-11-2009 |
20100066123 | TRAILER WHEEL FAIRINGS - A wheel fairing and preferably a set of wheel fairings for reducing aerodynamic drag caused by the left-side and right side wheel sets of a rear wheel assembly supporting a trailer body at its rear end. The fairing body includes a tapered aerodynamic surface with a substantially U-shaped cross-section that tapers from a second end to a first end, and a base surface at the second end with a substantially same dimensional profile as one of the left-side or right-side wheel sets. Fasteners or other mounting devices secure each fairing body to an underside of the trailer body either upstream (as a nose fairing) or downstream (as a tail fairing) of the rear wheel assembly so that the second end is adjacent to an exposed rolling surface of the left-side or right side wheel set. | 03-18-2010 |
20100106380 | ARTICULATING BASE FLAPS FOR AERODYNAMIC BASE DRAG REDUCTION AND STABILITY OF A BLUFF BODY VEHICLE - An aerodynamic base drag reduction and stability control apparatus and method uses a plurality of articulable base flaps each hingedly connected near one of a left side edge, a right side edge, a top side edge, and a bottom side edge of a rear end base of a vehicle so that each of the base flaps have a corresponding range of motion between a first position subject to direct impingement by a free stream adjacent the vehicle in motion and a second position not subject to direct impingement by the free stream. And a controller independently actuates the base flaps to corresponding desired positions relative to the free stream and within the corresponding ranges of motion to produce a desired combined aerodynamic drag reducing and/or stabilizing effect on the vehicle in motion. | 04-29-2010 |
20110109121 | ROOF AND GAP FAIRING FOR THE AERODYNAMIC DRAG REDUCTION OF TANKER TRUCKS - A fairing apparatus for reducing aerodynamic drag of a tanker in a freestream, and including a fairing body with a roof section, and left and right side sections connected to and extending below the roof section. Fasteners, for example, mount the fairing body on a cab of the tanker so that the roof, left, and right side sections extend from the roof, left and right side surfaces, respectively, of the cab towards a cylindrical tank carried behind the cab to reduce the gap between the cab and the tank and impede cross-flow therethrough, and the fairing surfaces of the roof, left, and right side sections are angled and preferably curvilinearly contoured to redirect airflow from the top and side surfaces of the cab to the curvilinearly contoured top and side surfaces of the tank to compensate for a profile mismatch between the cab and the taller and/or wider tank. | 05-12-2011 |
