  • Patent number: 7344240
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting auxiliary eyeglasses on conventional eyeglasses in which magnets are attached to temple extensions or temples on the conventional eyeglasses to mate with magnets mounted in appendages of the auxiliary eyeglasses. The magnets on the auxiliary eyeglasses engages the magnets on the conventional eyeglasses from below only, so as to hold the auxiliary frames in place solely by magnetic attractive force. The magnets may be recessed in sockets formed on one side while the magnets may extend out of the sockets on the other side. A wide variety of magnet shapes and configurations are possible.

  • Patent number: 7344721
    Abstract: This invention characterizes the specific peptide fragment derived from specially prepared zinc charged fetuin and a method of preparation thereof, wherein the fragment was found to contain an apoptosis-inducing activity. Specifically, the amino acid sequence of this peptide is His-Thr-Phe-Met-Gy-Val-Val-Ser-Leu-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 3) and correlates to amino acid no. 300-309 of bovine fetuin, referred to herein as Fetuin Peptide Fragment (FPF 300-09). FPF 300-09 strongly induced apoptosis in LNCaP (prostate cancer) and HT-29 (colon cancer) cells without affecting CCD 18 Co (normal colon) cells. The in vitro tissue culture study demonstrated that the FPF 300-09 is more potent than the parent molecule (full-length zinc charged fetuin) in inducing apoptosis. FPF 300-09 has a LD50 of 0.3-0.4 ?M, while the LD50 for zinc-charged fetuin is 3-10 ?M.

  • Patent number: 7341724
    Abstract: This invention characterizes the specific peptide fragment derived from specially prepared zinc charged fetuin and a method of preparation thereof, wherein the fragment was found to contain an apoptosis-inducing activity. Specifically, the amino acid sequence of this peptide is His Ala Phe Ser Pro Val Ala Ser Val Glu, SEQ ID NO:5. The peptide induced apoptosis in LNCaP (prostate cancer) and HT-29 (colon cancer) cells without affecting CCD 18 Co (normal colon) cells. The in vitro tissue culture study demonstrated that the peptide is more potent than the parent molecule (full-length zinc charged fetuin) in inducing apoptosis.

  • Patent number: 7331312
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for recovery of waste heat in a boiler system, wherein heat from the hot condensate water in the system, which otherwise would be lost through dissipation, is used for other applications. Particularly, the waste heat energy recovered in the form of hot condensate water can be used to heat makeup water for a hot water tank.

  • Patent number: 7328999
    Abstract: Eyeglasses comprising a primary lens frame having a first pair of lens holders separated by a bridge portion having a major magnetic member disposed on a rear side thereof and facing rearward. The eyeglasses further include an auxiliary frame having a second pair of lens holders separated by a bridge portion and having pivoting arms attached to each lens. The arms are connected by a grip extension having minor magnetic members disposed on a side facing the major magnetic members. The auxiliary frame is coupled to the primary lens frame from the bottom such that the grip extension extends under the bridge portion in the primary lens frame and allows the major and minor magnetic members to form a magnetic attraction. The pivoting arms permit the auxiliary frame to be moved in and out of the line of sight of the user without disrupting the magnetic coupling of the primary and the auxiliary frames.

  • Patent number: 7290563
    Abstract: A main valve reduces an unregulated pressure of a high-pressure gas to a regulated pressure by being interlocked with a diaphragm, which receives the regulated pressure within a pressure regulating chamber and is displaced. A subsidiary valve is interlocked with the main valve through a plunger and reduces the unregulated pressure of the high-pressure gas to the regulated pressure. The subsidiary valve is located such that the force, which accompanies a pressure loss occurring at the subsidiary valve and which the subsidiary valve receives, cancels the force, which accompanies the pressure loss occurring at the main valve and acts upon the plunger. An adjustor adjusts a pressure loss value occurring at the subsidiary valve so as to be equal to the pressure loss value occurring at the main valve.
