Abstract: Disclosed is a fire extinguisher cover for covering over a motor vehicle, the battery of which has caught fire. The cover comprises a sheet for covering over the vehicle, the sheet comprising an opening disposed thereon, and a casing assembly comprising a plurality of spaced apart casings and a drawstring running through the plurality of casings. The drawstring is arranged to be tightened to achieve a tight abutment between the casing assembly, the ground and the vehicle tires when the vehicle is covered by the sheet, and the fire-extinguishing fluid is run through the at least one opening to be fill up between the vehicle and the sheet resulting in said fluid reaching the battery for extinguishing the fire emanating therefrom.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for the coaching of users through successful calibration of a myoelectric prosthetic controller. The systems and methods are comprised of, and/or utilize, hardware and software components to input and analyze electromyography (EMG) based signals in association with movements, and to calibrate and output feedback about the signals. The hardware is further comprised of an apparatus for the detection of EMG signals, a prosthesis, an indicator, and a user interface. The software is further comprised of a user interface, a pattern recognition component, a calibration procedure, and a feedback mechanism. The systems and methods facilitate calibration of a myoelectric controller and provides the user with feedback about the calibration including information of the signal inputs and outputs, and messages about connected hardware and how to optimize signal data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-inflammatory activity of eggshell membrane, processed eggshell membrane preparations and eggshell membrane isolates. The invention is directed to eggshell membrane compositions exhibiting anti-inflammatory activity as measured by effects on down-regulating pro-inflammatory plasma antigens in mammals that had orally ingested such compositions. This information supports the potential benefits from administration of naturally occurring material found in eggshell membrane, processed eggshell membrane, eggshell membrane isolates and combinations to reduce pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.

Abstract: A device utilizing the horizontal component of wave motions for generating power. The device contains at least one oblong supporting structure and three or more independently movable resistance elements.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to present a device for utilisation of the horizontal component of wave motions in which there is no proportionality between the installed power and the initial costs of the device. According to the invention, this is obtained with a device which contains at least one oblong supporting structure and three or more independently movable resistance elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medication delivery device for delivering a set dose of medicament, the medication delivery device comprising pump means having first and second pump chambers. The first pump chamber is adapted to transfer medicament from a first collapsible reservoir to an outlet arrangement, said outlet arrangement being in fluidic communication with an associated hypodermic needle. The second pump chamber is adapted to transfer substance from a second reservoir to the outlet arrangement, wherein the first pump chamber is adapted to deliver the set dose of medicament during one or more pump strokes, the stroke volume(s) of said one or more pump strokes being variable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a handheld medication delivery device comprising first and second mutually displaceable housing parts (1, 2) optionally being operatively connected by a first resilient member thereby allowing the medication delivery device to be in a non-compressed state and in a compressed state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods that are useful for screening and isolating cells that express a desired immunoglobulin. The present invention further relates to devices and methods that are useful in producing monoclonal antibodies from non-immortal cells (such as B cells) or immortalized cells (such as hybridoma cells). The devices and methods disclosed herein significantly improve the efficiency for monoclonal antibody production.

Abstract: A lubricant composition having a base oil and one or more additives wherein the lubricant composition has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of more than 5.6 cSt; a cold cranking simulated dynamic viscosity at ?35° C. according to ASTM D 5293 of less than 6200 centiPoise (cP); and, a mini rotary viscosity test value of less than 60000 cP according to ASTM D 4684, wherein the base oil has been obtained from a waxy paraffinic Fischer-Tropsch synthesized hydrocarbon.

Abstract: A rotor that consists of a central hub or shaft and a plurality of boot shaped integral blade/vane units that combine a pronounced elongated vane tip extending substantially toward the incoming flow and also the direction of rotation forming a helix or pitch angle to the rotation axis centerline, preferably normal to and joined to the outer frontward extremity of a slightly rearward tilted blade/wing section that is connected by its inner end to the central hub or shaft. The rotor revolves about the rotation axis by incoming gas/fluid flow as most of the fluid flow is encouraged to move substantially outward and rearward as it travels into and past the forwardly projecting vane tips located a substantial distance radially from the axis of rotation. This maximizes the torque developed and transferred to the hub/shaft in a manner that does not greatly inhibit total through flow.
