Patent number: 11932203Abstract: A agricultural vehicle includes a step assembly having a step and a tank that is movably mounted to the step. The step has a flat and horizontally oriented top side and an angled side extending from the top side. The tank is movably mounted to the step and is configured to move between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the stowed position of the tank, a first side of the tank is aligned with and parallel to the angled side to form a continuous angled surface. In the deployed position of the tank, a second side of the tank is aligned with and parallel to the top side to form a continuous horizontal step surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Frank R.

Publication number: 20100161239Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and systems for analysis of drug resistance in HIV-1. More specifically, the invention provides methods for predicting drug resistance by correlating genotypic information with phenotypic profiles. The methods allow the identification of primary and secondary resistance-associated mutations for new and existing drugs and for calculating the contribution of mutations and combinations of mutations to resistance and hyper-susceptibility.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: VICRO BVBAInventors: Herwig Gaston Emiel Van Marck, Tim Gerrit Van Den Bulcke, Hans Victor Vermeiren

Publication number: 20050091830Abstract: A method for securely mounting an elongated, insulating strip in an elongated metal profile section, the strip having opposed longitudinal edges and the profile section having an elongated groove with a slightly open mouth. The method comprises placing one edge of the strip into the elongated groove in the profile section, the strip extending out of the groove and the groove loosely holding the strip and then partly closing the mouth of the groove, simultaneously along the entire length of the groove, onto the strip to securely retain the strip to the profile section. An apparatus for use in forming a thermal break between a pair of profile sections, each profile section having an elongate groove along its length, and an insulating strip loosely held in the grooves and extending between the sections. The apparatus is a press having a bed to support a first die; the first die holding the first and a second profile sections in place, slightly spaced apart, parallel to each other, and with the grooves facing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2003Publication date: May 5, 2005Inventor: Marc Van Den Bulcke

Patent number: 6458386Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a biopolymer matrix comprising cross-linked vinyl-derivatives of gelatin, or co-polymerized methacrylamide modified gelatin with vinyl-modified polysaccharides, or cross-linked vinyl-substituted polysaccharide and gelatin being physically entrapped in a semi-interpenetrating network. Preferably said polysaccharide comprises dextran or xanthan. The present invention also relates to a wound dressing or a controlled release device comprising said biopolymer matrix. Preferably said matrix is in the form of a hydrated film, a hydrated or dry foam, dry fibers which may be fabricated into a woven or non-woven tissue, hydrated or dry microbeads, dry powder, or covered with a semipermeable film so as to control the humidity of the wound covered with the dressing, with the permeability chosen so as to maintain this humidity within a therapeutically optimal window.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2000Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: Innogenetics N.V.Inventors: Etienne Schacht, An Van Den Bulcke, Bernard Delaey, Jean-Pierre Draye

Patent number: 6196101Abstract: A workpiece moving machine comprising: an elongate frame with an endless belt mounted on the frame and extending between the ends of the frame. A plurality of trolleys are slidably mounted on the frame for movement along the frame. Each trolley has a clamp for selectively holding a workpiece to the trolley. A first clutch on each trolley selectively connects the trolley to one run of the belt to move the trolley along the frame in one direction and a second clutch on each trolley selectively connects the trolley to the other run of the belt to move the trolley along the frame in the opposite direction. A brake on each trolley selectively brakes the trolley to the frame to prevent its movement along the frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1999Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Inventor: Marc Van Den Bulcke

Patent number: 6116126Abstract: A method for use in making profile pieces. The method has the steps of feeding a profile into a work station, clamping the profile in the work station, and cutting it into a profile piece and a profile remainder. The profile piece is repositioned in the work station for further work by operably connecting it to the profile remainder while both the profile piece and the profile remainder are clamped, and moving the profile remainder. The invention also covers a machine for carrying out the method.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1996Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Inventors: Marc Van Den Bulcke, Hartmut Federhenn
