  • Patent number: 7888103
    Abstract: The method of detoxification of yperite—bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide—by the use of a haloalkane dehalogenases or their compositions, the method of preparation of dehalogenationating enzymes and of decontamination compositions which contains at least one wild type and/or modified haloalkane dehalogenase (EC 3.8.1.5) as an chemically active component. The preferred dehalogenases are LinB from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26, DhaA from Rhodococcus rodochrous NCIMB 13064, DmbA from Mycobacterium bovis 5033/66. Decontamination is utilizable for detoxification of yperite from the surfaces of instrumentality, constructional objects, human or animal skin and elements of environment by the treatment of yperite with the detoxification composition according the invention at +10° C. to +70° C., preferably at about +40° C. and pH from 4 to 12.

  • Patent number: 7883217
    Abstract: A lamp mount system for high voltage projector lamps includes only a few parts which fit together without the need for connecting hardware. A single piece clip snaps into a single piece lamp mount and, together with the lamp form a lamp mounting assembly. The lamp mounting assembly in turn slidably engages with a single piece lamp base. The lamp mount assembly may be slideably removed when the lamp burns out.

  • Patent number: 7879127
    Abstract: A product for reinforcing the natural plant defense system a mixture of one or several silicon-rich substances (A), one or more activators of plant immune system (B) and substance (C) which supply to (A) and (B) activity. Activators are substances or physical effects and substances, which transport the information about stress and provide the synthesis of non specific and/or specific stress-proteins, stress ferments and other stress-protecting substances to the plant cells. Using various forms of Si-rich substances will help plants to synthesize non-specific, specific substances and ferments which protect plants against stress. The substance (C) could serve for optimization of plant growth or for reinforcing Si or the activator component and they can be added to the new product also. The application of all these ingredients can be conducted via soil application (both broadcasting and incorporation) together with the irrigation water, by foliar applications or as dust application.

  • Patent number: 7866976
    Abstract: Mold clamping mechanism of an injection molding machine with a movable platen (10), a fixed platen (12) and a support section (9) connected to the movable platen (10) through connecting links, wherein, when clamping force is applied via the connecting links, a force is transmitted to the front face (9A) of the support section (9), wherein at least one recess (25) is arranged between the front face (9A) and the back face (9B) of the support section (9), which is formed in such a manner that those regions of the front face (9A) of the support section (9) to which the force (FH) is transferred are evenly deformed when force is applied.

  • Patent number: 7854344
    Abstract: A lid for an airtight container has a rim part for sealing to the container and plural locking flap handles extending from the rim part and rotating between open and locked positions. Each handle has a locking protrusion for locking to the container in its locked position, and a film hinge with an outer surface that smoothly curves continuously into an upper surface of the rim part of the lid, in the open position of the handle. The film hinge has an elastic hinge part that extends by a predetermined length to disperse an impact generated when the handle is locked to the container and the elastic hinge part is folded as the handle is moved from its open to its locked position.

  • Patent number: 7845131
    Abstract: A crack inducer controls propagation of cracks in set concrete containing reinforcing bars. The crack inducer has an elongated, rigid core that is relatively narrow in a direction that is parallel to outer surfaces of the concrete. The core has a core width in a first plane that intersects the outer surfaces of the volume, that is at least 20% of the concrete volume width so that a crack in the volume of concrete is induced to propagate from the core and along the first plane. A plurality of spaced cross-plates are connected to the core and a water-stop may be included around part of the core.

  • Patent number: 7845460
    Abstract: A superimposed steering system of a vehicle steering system, has an input shaft and an output shaft that are at least partially rotationally mounted on a support system fixed to the vehicle body, a servodrive comprising a rotor arranged in a coaxial manner in relation to one of the shafts and is connected in a rigid manner to a first transmission element and a locking device for selectively coupling the shafts. The first transmission element transmits the rotational speed of the rotor to the rotational speed of the input shaft, and the rotor is rotationally connected to a ferromagnetic or permanently magnetic first contact element. The coupling which is rotationally connected to the shafts can be obtained by a friction connection of a first contact element to a second contact element which is rotationally connected to the support system. The pressure force can be magnetically produced and at least one of both contact elements is arranged in a displaceable manner in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 7829028
    Abstract: A storage unit for biological samples has a horizontal footprint and multiple storage compartments separated by intermediate walls and enclosed by a peripheral frame. The storage compartments have first and second openings and are tailored to the shape of a biopsy cassette or a glass slide and have a retention mechanism preventing the essentially vertical cassettes or slides in the storage compartments through the first opening and/or the second opening from falling out through the first opening and/or the second opening. A transfer system allows at least two storage units or at least one storage unit and one collection unit to be situated one above the other in register and displaced in relation to one another. The transfer system has a manipulator by which a biopsy cassette or a glass slide may be pushed from one storage unit to another, or into the collection unit.

  • Patent number: 7820032
    Abstract: The main distinctive feature of the method lies in the fact that the hydrocarbon material is affected through primary and principal excitation by means of electromagnetic vibrations. The primary influence upon the hydrocarbon material is carried out prior to its feeding for thermal cracking, while the, principal influence is fulfilled in the rectifying column. For the method to be implemented, the primary excitation source in the installation is realized in a form of an electromagnetic oscillator, and the rectifying column is realized with possibility of resonance excitation provided, being the main exciter of the hydrocarbon material. The invention makes it possible to increase the percentage of output of lighter fractions, as well as to raise the quality of processing of raw materials.
