摘要:
A method for eliminating, reducing or retarding the amount of gram negative bacteria in cut fruits, cut vegetables, seafood, meat strips or meat chunks comprising the steps of: (a) treating the surface of said fruits, vegetables, seafood or meat with a chemical having a pH of greater than 8.5 in an amount of effective to destroy or disrupt the outer membrane of said gram negative bacteria; and then (b) treating said surface with an effective amount of one or more agents having bactericidal activity against gram positive bacteria is provided.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for treating pain in mammalian subjects are provided. The methods include obtaining blood or a fraction of blood from the subject, measuring a therapeutic indicator in the blood or in the fraction blood, and administering an anti-inflammatory composition to the subject if the therapeutic indicator is equal to or above a threshold level. The anti-inflammatory composition comprises a protein solution including interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. The protein solution may be prepared from the blood or blood fraction obtained from the subject.
摘要:
A process to prepare a base oil having a viscosity index of above 80 and a saturates content of above 90 wt % from a crude derived feedstock by (a) contacting a crude derived feedstock in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst having at least one Group VIB metal component and at least one non-noble Group VIII metal component supported on a refractory oxide carrier; (b) adding to the effluent of step (a) or part of the effluent of step (a) a Fischer-Tropsch derived fraction boiling at least partly in the base oil range in an amount effective to achieve the target viscosity index of the final base oil; and (c) dewaxing the mixture as obtained in step (b).
摘要:
A method of detecting and classifying facial muscle movements, comprising the steps of: receiving bio-signals from at least one bio-signal detector; and applying at least one facial muscle movement-detection algorithm to a portion of the bio-signals affected by a predefined type of facial muscle movement in order to detect facial muscle movements of that predefined type.
摘要:
A power distribution apparatus for distributing electrical power includes circuit breaker modules and remote operated devices mounted separately in a panel. The devices may be relays, circuit breakers, meters, dimmers or other devices for controlling a circuit. An I/O controller board is connected to the remote operated devices and controls those devices through a data rail. A control module may interface with the I/O controller board and may also interface with other I/O controller boards and with one or more networks. A serial communications line connects the I/O interface board with a number of remote operated devices. A separate select line runs from each remote operated device to the I/O controller board. To operate a particular device, the I/O controller board asserts the select line of that device, causing the device to listen for messages on the serial line. The relay executes commands contained in a message only of the select line for that device is asserted.
摘要:
A razor head has blade members with straight front cutting edges which are mutually parallel and lie in a cutting plane. Imaginary median surfaces of the blade members are continuously curved in the same sense away from the cutting plane, from the cutting edges toward the rear edges. The handle has a pair of fork arms, the distal ends of which are connected to the head at positions adjacent the respective ends of the head. Each fork arm has a groove allowing pivoting of the distal end about a pivot axis parallel to the head axis, the grooves being mutually aligned on the same side of the forked end portion of the handle. Each groove is filled with a resiliently deformable material which is deformed when a pivoting force is applied to the razor head during shaving and which restores the razor head to a normal position when the force is removed. The head has undercut apertures in rear abutment surfaces, and the distal ends of the fork arms have detent elements projecting forwardly from front abutment surfaces. The front and rear abutment surfaces abut against one another and the detent elements engage in the undercut apertures in such a manner that the head is fixed relative to the distal ends of the fork arms, the distal ends being movable toward one another to disengage the detent elements from the undercut apertures and allow the head to be removed from the handle.
摘要:
The invention is a heated thermal probe suitable for use in micro- thermal analysis or other high resolution thermal measurements and actions. The probe is, in the preferred embodiment, a microfabricated cantilever with a sharp probe tip of a type used in Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM's) which further includes an integral resistive heating element. The heating element is formed by doping regions of the cantilever with an ion implant process to make lower resistance connections and a higher resistance heating element. There is no spatial overlap between the base of the probe tip and the heating element or conductors.
摘要:
A collapsible enfolding ladder arrangement comprising of: Channel Uprights, Pivotal Rungs, Hinges, Adapter Latches and Top and Bottom Levelers. Including Accessories: Lock bars, Retainers and Pins. When applied appropriately produce Step Stools, Step Ladders and Extension units. This invention considers numerous positioning patterns as it unfolds from a unique stowed berth. Usefully noted in both commercial and residential environments with obvious advantages for handling and storage convenience and answering savings in transportation needs.
