  • Publication number: 20050203037
    Abstract: Disclosed is a complex immuno-gene medical composition activating NK cells to enhance host immune system. The composition is usage of a combination of a plurality of cytokines, combined usage of the kinds of Th1 and Th2 cytokines. Th2 cytokine antagonizes TGF-? inhibiting NK cells to disable the inhibition of immune system, and Th1 cytokine activates NK cells in host to enhance the ability fighting against tumor cells. By means of the complex immuno-gene medical composition, removal of tumor cells is expectable.

  • Patent number: 6792201
    Abstract: A water heating device is arranged between a water tank and a water faucet located below the water tank. Water from the water tank flows along a pipeline through the water heating device to the faucet. The water heating device includes a hydroelectric generation system including a turbine mounted in the pipeline and a generator coupled to the turbine by a shaft. Water flowing through the pipeline drives the turbine and thus causes the generator to generate electricity. The electricity is supplied to an electrical heater that heats the water flowing through the pipeline. A control unit controls the electricity supplied to the electrical heater thereby controlling the thermal energy transferred to the water. Thus, no external and independent energy source is required for heating the water.

  • Patent number: 6733504
    Abstract: A dowel insertion tool includes a T-shaped handle and a hollow sleeve which extends distally from the T-shaped handle. A shaft extends from the handle through the hollow sleeve and includes a transverse extension. A rotatable knob having an annular channel positioned to receive the transverse extension is supported adjacent the handle. A pin is secured to the knob and extends into a helical camming channel formed in the sleeve. Upon rotation of the knob, the pin moves within the camming channel to move the knob longitudinally about the sleeve. Movement of the knob effects longitudinal movement of the shaft. A support plate is secured to the distal end of the shaft. A pair of prongs are slidably secured to the plate. Each of the prongs includes an enlarged head portion which is slidably positioned within a slot formed in the plate. A guide member is secured to the distal end of the sleeve. The guide member includes a pair of guide bores dimensioned to receive a distal end of the prongs.

  • Publication number: 20030006905
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new power switch apparatus design. Under this kind of design, a blue tooth module is placed in this power switch apparatus which receives signal from blue tooth control device. Control devices having blue tooth module may make up a wireless link to the power switch apparatus of this present invention. These devices having a blue tooth controllable function can remotely monitor and control the power switch of the power switch apparatus. On the other hand, the power switch apparatus may send the power consumption information itself to the a device that has a blue tooth controllable function. Therefore, the present invention's apparatus may provide a two-way communication between the power switch apparatus and the control device having blue tooth module.

  • Patent number: 5951292
    Abstract: A method of detecting periodontal disease involves attaching a vibration detector to the tooth, causing the tooth to vibrate by means of striking the tooth with a hammer, and then picking up signals corresponding to of the vibration of the tooth for processing by a dynamic signal analyzer and a microprocessor using Fourier analysis. The location of the natural frequency of the tooth is determined based on the lowest point in the image mode and the point of contraflexure in the real mode.
