  • Patent number: 8287919
    Abstract: The current invention involves compositions and methods for killing various soft-bodied animals of interest (more specifically, Coqui frogs and Coqui frog eggs are targeted) with a low pH adjusted pesticide. The method involves contacting the soft-bodied animal of interest with the low pH adjusted pesticide, wherein the pesticide is a propionic acid composition, a citric acid composition, an Acidic Calcium Sulfate (ACS) composition, or combination thereof. The preferred pesticide composition has a working concentration that is less than about 15% (w/v), and a pH less than about pH 2.5, which has a lethal effect on Coqui frogs, but is less phytotoxic than higher concentration pesticides. The method includes spraying any of the pH adjusted pesticides thoroughly an area inhabited by the soft-bodied animals of interest, which includes the under brush, under bushes, and typically any hiding places.

  • Patent number: 6878521
    Abstract: A method of minimizing the aggregation tendencies of an amyloid forming protein is provided comprising identifying a portion of the protein that is critical to amyloid formation; and inserting a peptide at the portion. The invention also provides a peptide for insertion in an intact human kappa-IV light chain variable domain, the peptide comprising the following amino acid sequence Phe71-Thr72-Leu73-Thr74-Ile75-Ser76-Ser77 (SEQ ID NO. 1) wherein the subscript numbers are the residue location points in the domain. A method for preventing amyloid formation in human kappa-IV light chain variable domain is also provided, the method comprising inserting the peptide Phe1-Thr72-Leu73-Thr74-Ile75-Ser76-Ser77 (SEQ ID NO. 1) into the domain, wherein the subscript numbers indicate the residue location on the domain.

  • Patent number: 5900877
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing multi-layered graphical user interface controls is described. The user interface controls are comprised of several graphic control layers, each having a transparent region and an opaque region. User input actions over a transparent region is effective to tunnel the user input action to the next graphic control layer until the user input action is determined to occur over an opaque region of a subsequent graphic control layer. In one embodiment, the present invention includes push button and radio button controls. In other embodiments, the present invention includes check boxes, sliders and lists. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes backout behavior in which a selection action over an opaque region followed by motion into a transparent region is effective to cause the appearance of the graphic control layer to change from an activated appearance to an deactivated appearance without tunneling the input action to the next graphic control layer.

  • Patent number: 4133559
    Abstract: A method of electrically and hydraulically connecting a conductor bar having a plurality of hollow water-cooled conductors involves compressing the conductor bar and shims of brazing material in a connector clip formed of a pair of mating clip members. Brazing shims (strips and bands) are placed in desired positions, and then the components are heated and hydraulically compressed. The conductor bar and brazing material assembly is sized for a tight fit in one dimension, but oversized in another dimension so that compression results in a desired distribution of the molten brazing material. During compression, the clip members are secured from relative motion, other than displacement toward one another, and air is passed through the hollow conductors to prevent the accumulation of brazing material in the open ends thereof. In addition to the clip members, the connector device includes a water inlet member with a stem that is inserted between and brazed to the clip members after the compression step.
