  • Patent number: 11905962
    Abstract: A vehicle exhaust dissipation system includes a fan unit and one or more processors. A memory is communicably coupled to the one or more processors and stores a fan control module including computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor(s) cause the processor(s) to, responsive to a determination that an ambient temperature is equal to or below a fan rotor activation temperature, control operation of the fan unit to generate an airflow directed into an exhaust gas exiting the vehicle from a vehicle exhaust opening.

  • Patent number: 10660458
    Abstract: A pan chiller system includes a pan chiller unit having a food well, with a plurality of hollow divider rails arranged within the food well to define at least one opening to receive one or more food pans to be cooled, where the plurality of divider rails define a first rail flow path and a second rail flow path. A chilled liquid coolant system chills liquid coolant and moves the chilled liquid coolant into both the first rail flow path and the second rail flow path. A control arrangement is configured for controlling chilled liquid coolant flow such that a first temperature condition maintained in the first rail flow path is different than a second temperature condition maintained in the second rail flow path.

  • Patent number: 9698590
    Abstract: The personal electrical injury protection device includes a first wireless transmitter, a first receiver, and a second receiver. The first wireless transmitter is adapted to be worn on an end user. The first wireless transmitter is in wired connection with at least one electrical sensor. The at least one electrical sensor is adapted to be attached to a limb of said end user, and is able to detect a change in voltage, and upon doing so shall signal the first receiver. The first receiver is in wireless communication with the first transmitter, and includes a speaker, and at least one light. The second receiver is adapted to turn off the main circuit breaker in order to stop electricity to be transmitted to all applicable circuits, and of which an end user has come into contact.

  • Publication number: 20060283921
    Abstract: A method of transient liquid phase bonding includes the use of an interlayer between the two substrates to be bonded that is alloyed with a melting point reducing element. The interlayer forms a liquid during the bonding process, resulting in superior surface contact between the interlayer and substrates during the bonding process. As the melting point decreaser diffuses out of the interlayer, the interlayer resolidifies, at which point bonding continues under the principles of diffusion bonding.

  • Publication number: 20060182713
    Abstract: Vaccine composition containing IL-15 for active immunization to treatment diseases related to over-expression of this cytokine. The technical aim pursued in this invention is to inhibit IL-15 activity through development of a therapeutic vaccine which elicits IL-15 neutralizing antibodies in the immunized host. IL-15 can be presented in this vaccine composition either alone or coupled to a carrier such as the P64k protein with a vaccine adjuvant such as Aluminum hydroxide. Besides, this invention is related to the use of this vaccine for treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis and other IL-15 over-expressing related diseases, and leukemia, where this cytokine acts as a growth factor.
