  • SOUND ATTENTUATOR
    Publication number: 20110061967
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for attenuating the sound generated by a fan powered terminal unit or other equipment in an HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) system is described. The apparatus utilizes internal geometry to minimize noise due to air disturbances and aerodynamic effects within the apparatus. Specifically, a silencer is described comprising a casing having an inlet and an outlet; a condensate deflector positioned at the inlet to the casing; at least one baffle being operable to attenuate noise in a gas flowing through the silencer; and an air pathway through the silencer, defined by positions of the condensate deflector and the at least one baffle within the casing. The air pathway is angled or curved to substantially minimize the line-of-sight pathway from the inlet to the outlet.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING TONAL NOISE FROM SUBSONIC FANS
    Publication number: 20110064559
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing a selected tonal noise generated by a fan operating in a non-uniform flow by locating at least one obstruction in the non-uniform flow such that the at least one obstruction generates a noise that is out of phase with the selected tonal noise. The noise generated by the at least one obstruction interferes with the selected tonal noise, thus reducing the selected tonal noise. It is also contemplated to use additional obstructions to reduce other tonal noises generated by the fan.

  • RNA INTERFERENCE MEDIATING SMALL RNA MOLECULES
    Publication number: 20110065773
    Abstract: Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a Drosophila in vitro system, we demonstrate that 19-23 nt short RNA fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNAi. The short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are generated by an RNase III-like processing reaction from long dsRNA. Chemically synthesized siRNA duplexes with overhanging 3? ends mediate efficient target RNA cleavage in the lysate, and the cleavage site is located near the center of the region spanned by the guiding siRNA. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the direction of dsRNA processing determines whether sense or antisense target RNA can be cleaved by the produced siRNP complex.

  • PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF FLUORINATED ETHERS OF AROMATIC ACIDS
    Publication number: 20110065892
    Abstract: Fluorinated ethers of aromatic acids are produced from halogenated aromatic acids in a reaction mixture containing a copper (I) or copper (II) source and an amino acid ligand that coordinates to copper. The fluorinated ethers of aromatic acids made using the process described herein can be applied to, e.g., fibers, yarns, carpets, garments, films, molded parts, paper and cardboard, stone, and tile to impart soil, water and oil resistance. By incorporating the fluorinated ethers of aromatic acids, or diesters thereof, into polymer backbones, more lasting soil, water and oil resistance, as well as improved flame retardance, can be achieved.
