摘要:
The present invention relates to formulations made up from extracts from Ganoderma lucidum, rhizome of Coptis chinensis, Radix astragali, Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn, Chaenomeles speciosa, and Fructus Aurantii. Pursuant to the invention, the formulations are used to treat obesity and the biological sequelae of obesity including cholesterol levels and glucose levels. While not limited to any particular mechanism of action the formulations may assert their effects by altering gene expression, in particular, the expression of PPARγ, FABP4, CPT1, UCP2, and AMPK.

The present invention relates to extracts of Sophora Flavescens, and compounds isolated therefrom for use in modulating airway smooth muscle contractility. Methods of creating enriched extracts of Sophora Flavescens are disclosed, as are specific compounds isolated therefrom. Methods for the treatment of disorders involving airway smooth muscle, such as asthma, using the compounds and extracts described herein are also disclosed.

摘要:
A frictional welding process for joining a titanium aluminide turbine to a titanium alloy shaft is disclosed. The disclosed process includes preheating the turbine to a designated temperature, providing a specially-designed joining interface geometry at the distal end of the shaft and optimizing the frictional welding parameters. The frictional welding is carried out in multiple steps but, while the shaft is being spun by a rotating chuck, two different pressures and two different time periods are used until the narrower portions of the distal end of the shaft have been fused onto the welding surface of the turbine. Then, an additional forging step with yet another engagement pressure between the shaft and the turbine is carried out without rotation of the shaft.

A turbocharger system for an internal combustion engine includes at least one compressor wheel. The at least one compressor wheel of a single stage or multiple stage turbocharger system is formed, such as by pressure casting, from at least one of an aluminum metal matrix composite and an aluminum alloy containing up to 5 weight percent scandium.
摘要:
A method of bonding two materials by friction welding method. A first material may be made from a titanium aluminide intermetallic alloy and a second material may be made from a titanium alloy. The first material may be heated to a temperature between about 300° C. and about 800° C. The second material may be rotated relative to the first material. The first material and the second material may be pressed against each other while one of the first material, and the second material is rotated. The rotation of one of the first material and the second material may be stopped, and the first material and the second material may be pressed against each other after the rotation of one of the first material and the second material is stopped.

摘要:
A method for cleaning a diesel particulate filter includes a step of coupling an acoustic generator directly to the diesel particulate filter via a support fixture. Ash deposited within the diesel particulate filter is dislodged with acoustic energy deposited by the acoustic generator. The ash may fall clear of the diesel particulate filter under the action of gravity and/or via pressurized air flow.
摘要:
A turbocharger includes a turbine section, a compressor section and a bearing section. A turbine wheel and a compressor wheel are mounted on a shaft and the shaft is rotatably mounted in a bore of a housing. A lubrication system circulates lubricant through the bearing section. First and second spaced apart seals are positioned along the shaft. A recess is positioned between the first seal and the second seal to define an air buffer chamber. The air buffer chamber is provided with pressurized air to discourage lubricant leakage past the first seal.
