Abstract: A system having voltage regulator bypass means provides a means for preventing a voltage regulator to be bypassed in a power system when the difference between a load side voltage of the voltage regulator and a source side voltage of the voltage regulator is not below a certain threshold or substantially small. A voltage regulator controller can also prevent the voltage regulator from being bypassed when a tap changer of the voltage regulator is not in a neutral position.

Abstract: A design for improvement to body armor design which adds a uniquely designed fiberglass diffuser layer with flat topped pedestals to the backside of the prior art of armor which has a debris collection backing layer and a hard faced ceramic facing layer and includes the option to add a protective tear resistant thin polyester film to reduce handling damage resulting in improved protection from armor piercing bullets by further reducing back face deformation of the armor and thus reducing impact to the body.

Abstract: A design for improvements to the prior art of armor design that incorporates a uniquely designed layer within a multilayered armor fabricated assembly which redirects the supersonic destructive forces entering the assembly to exit the assembly in directions parallel to the surface being protected.

Abstract: A design for improvements to the prior art of conventional A-frame fish capture devices which incorporates one or more flexible loop spring mechanism(s) and a multi-functional crossbeam splay limiting and hand grip apparatus, attached to an A-frame structure which enables collapsing the device into a nearly flat condition for storage and when deployed the loop-spring mechanism instantly splays out the crossbeams and pushes the mouth of the net into a deep trough enabling the angler single handed instant deployment and attitude control of the net to enable prompt landing which minimizes stress by rapidly cradling the fish during landing.

Abstract: A design for a scalable advanced design vertical shaft wind turbine power generator which incorporates a superior symmetrical blade configuration and a unique blade mounting approach which utilizes aerodynamic forces to provide wide changes in blade positions o optimize efficiency and eliminates the need for expensive mechanical control devices while minimizing manufacturing, operational and maintenance costs.

Abstract: Provided is a carpet stretcher. The carpet stretcher includes: an engaging head comprised at a front end of the carpet stretcher that engages a carpet; a sliding member that is connected to a rear end of the engaging head to move the engaging head back and/or forth within a predetermined space; a housing unit that covers the sliding member; a driving unit that drives the sliding member; and a carpet fixing unit comprised at a rear end of the carpet stretcher to push and fix the carpet. While the carpet is fixed by the engaging head and the carpet fixing unit, the sliding member is moved a predetermined distance by the driving unit, and the engaging head forwards a distance that is equal to the distance by which the sliding member is moved, stretching the carpet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to physiologically-active derivatized natural and recombinant mammalian and human proteins and polypeptides. The invention provides chemical methods for derivatizing natural and recombinantly-derived proteins or polypeptides containing cysteine residues, either naturally or through site specific mutageneses. The pharmaceutical compositions containing said derivatized proteins and/or polypeptides are formulated to provide stable, long-acting compositions of such proteins and/or polypeptides, previously difficult to achieve.

Abstract: A method of reversing or preventing immunosuppression or antigenic interference associated with combination vaccines in mammals, is disclosed. Cytokines, or cytokine inducer, are administered in conjunction with the combination vaccine. The cytokine or cytokine inducer can be administered concurrently with or subsequently to the vaccine, and can be recombinantly produced or isolated from cell culture.
