Abstract:
A system and method for purifying and recycling cold wastewater is provided. Contaminated wastewater is supplied at a temperature no greater than 45° F. through an ultrafilter. The wastewater is fed through a reverse osmosis filter unit. Clean water is reused whereas reject is sent to disposal. Cold temperatures are preferably maintained throughout the treatment process.
Abstract:
A transmission device having power splitting. In the first driving range, the mechanical power branch transmits torque from the ring gear to the additional fixed gear by the fixed gear. In this case, power branches from the ring gear. The hydrostatic power branch branches from the second sun gear. The hydrostatic branch transmits power from the first to the second hydraulic unit. The first and second hydraulic units act respectively as a pump and a motor. On one of the hydrostatic shafts, the mechanical and hydrostatic powers are added and transmitted to the output. In the second driving range, power from the planet carrier partially branches to the ring gear and passes to the hydrostatic shaft for the second hydraulic unit. An auxiliary shaft can be coupled by a gear to a fixed gear operatively connected to a shaft of the power splitting device.
Abstract:
A transmission with power branching, and the transmission, in a first drive range, transmits torque from the ring gear to a fixed wheel. In one branch, power is transmitted from a first to a second hydraulic unit which respectively operate as a pump and a motor. At one of the hydrostatic shafts, the mechanical and hydrostatic power are summed and transmitted to the drive output. In a second drive range, power coming from the planetary carrier is partially branched off to the ring gear and transmitted, via the gear wheels of the hydrostatic shaft, to the second hydraulic unit. From the second hydraulic unit, hydraulic power passes to the first hydraulic unit. In the process, the first hydraulic unit operates as a motor and the second hydraulic unit as a pump. From the second sun gear, power is transmitted to the double planetary gear and summed.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a threaded fastener. In particular, the invention relates to a threaded fastener such as a nut or a bolt. In an embodiment of the invention, a threaded fastener in the form of a nut (10) is disclosed. The nut comprises a main body portion (12); a lip portion (14) extending from the main body portion; and a recess (16) formed in the main body portion adjacent the lip portion. The recess is shaped to receive at least part of the deformable lip portion when a mating torque is applied to the fastener causing the deformable lip portion to deform. In this fashion, when the fastener is used to clamp two or more components together, such as flanges (20, 22) on adjacent pipe sections, the lip portion encounters a surface of the component that the fastener is being used to clamp against. As the fastener is torqued-up to a desired level, to provide a determined mating force, the lip portion is deformed into the recess in the main body portion.
Abstract:
Novel genes designated and set forth in FIG. 2 and their respective encoded proteins, and variants thereof, are described wherein a gene of the invention exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers such as those listed in Table I. Consequently, of gene products of a gene of FIG. 2 provide diagnostic, prognostic, prophylactic and/or therapeutic targets for cancer. A gene of FIG. 2 or fragment thereof, its encoded protein, or variants thereof, or a fragment thereof, can be used to elicit a humoral or cellular immune response; antibodies or T cells reactive with a gene product of FIG. 2 can be used in active or passive immunization.
Abstract:
A system that performs a transaction includes a mobile handset that has a biometric sensor. The biometric sensor detects a biometric from a user of the mobile handset. The mobile handset is associated with an account number. The system also includes an authentication processor configured to receive an authentication code from the mobile handset. The authentication processor uses the authentication code to authenticate the user and the user is granted access to an account corresponding to the account number when the user is authenticated by the authentication processor. The mobile handset may include a code generator that generates the authentication code. For example, the code may be generated from stored biometric information, a detected biometric, the account number, a phone number associated with the mobile handset, a serial number of the mobile handset, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the account number is the phone number.
Abstract:
Antibodies and molecules derived therefrom that bind to novel PSCA protein, and variants thereof, are described wherein PSCA exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers listed in Table I. Consequently, PSCA provides a diagnostic, prognostic, prophylactic and/or therapeutic target for cancer. The PSCA gene or fragment thereof, or its encoded protein, or variants thereof, or a fragment thereof, can be used to elicit a humoral or cellular immune response; antibodies or T cells reactive with PSCA can be used in active or passive immunization.

Abstract:
Core-skin bonding is improved between honeycomb and composite face sheets by applying a nylon-based (polyamide) adhesive to the edge of the honeycomb prior to bonding. Edge coating of honeycomb with polyamide adhesives is useful in further increasing the bond strength between honeycomb and prepreg face sheets, especially when the matrix resin of the prepreg is designed to adhere the prepreg to the honeycomb.
Abstract:
A board game for challenging players to move all of their game pieces from the start space to the finishing space. The board game includes a game board having a first path and a second path. The first path encompasses the second path. The first and second paths are connected by a plurality of connector paths. The first path, the second path and the plurality of connector paths are divided into path spaces. A plurality of starting spaces on the game board are located generally adjacent the first path. A plurality of ending paths are connected to the first path. A plurality of sets of game pieces. A plurality of cards for indicating movement of game pieces about the game board. Wherein cards are drawn to determine movement of the game pieces about the first path. The game is won by moving the set of game pieces to the end of the ending path.
