  • Patent number: 10948200
    Abstract: A ventilation hood is mounted to an underside of a cabinet by left and right support brackets each including a main body from which depend at least one support tab or hanger, as well as a locator tab. The main body is aligned on the cabinet, while the locator tab appropriately spaces the support bracket from an upstanding rear wall. Thereafter, the ventilation hood is positioned so the support tabs are received in slots formed in a top panel of the hood and, upon sliding the hood rearward, the hood rides upon ramped or tapered surfaces of the support tabs to position the hood against the cabinet while hanging the hood from the support tabs. Thereafter, the support tabs are bent to retain the ventilation hood in an operational position. Employing the distinct aligning, positioning and hanging structure enables a single person to readily mount the ventilation hood.

  • Publication number: 20090176741
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of immunology. More specifically, it relates to methods and compositions to suppress the immune system, among other by interference with antigen-presenting molecules and T-cell activation. Provided is a composition for the prevention or treatment of a condition wherein suppression of T cell activation is desirable, comprising as an active ingredient an inositol phospholipid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Said condition can be an auto-immune disease, allergic disorder or chronic inflammatory disease, for example asthma, diabetes Type I, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Also provided is a food item or food supplement having immunomodulating properties, comprising an effective amount of an inositol phospholipid.

  • Patent number: 7148952
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lithographic apparatus comprising an illumination system for providing a projection beam of radiation. The illumination system comprises at least one movable optical element (7), such that a projection beam of radiation (4) can be shifted around a central position. This ensures that inhomogeneities in the intensity distribution in the projection beam (4) will be smeared out, which in turn provides an improved homogeneity of the exposure of a surface to be illuminated by the system, such as a wafer or other substrate. The optical element (7) may comprise a motor movable mirror, prism, filter, lens, axicon, diffuser, diffractive optical array, optical integrator, etc. The invention further provides a device manufacturing method, using a lithographic apparatus according to the invention, wherein the optical element is moved, in order to provide an optimum homogeneity for the projection beam of radiation.
