Publication number: 20240092284Abstract: A method and apparatus for noise reduction in a semi-truck tractor. The semi-truck tractor has hood cowling that is carried on an upper hood support mounted to a firewall of the semi-truck tractor. The invention includes applying a resilient sleeve to the upper hood support to eliminate a noise generated by vibration of the hood cowling when supported by the upper hood support. The resilient sleeve has an opening at a proximal end of the sleeve. The sleeve is dimensioned to surround an exposed face of the upper hood support when mounted to the firewall. The resilient sleeve provides a low friction barrier between the hood cowling and the upper hood support with the hood cowling in a closed position and supported by the upper hood support.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventor: Joel Justin West

Patent number: 9433105Abstract: An electrically insulating substrate is provided. The electrically insulating substrate includes a set of areas to be formed into a set of printed circuit boards. Each of the set of areas is separated from others of the set of areas by a dicing channel. A set of signal wiring conductors is fabricated onto the set of areas of the electrically insulating substrate so that at least one of the set of signal wiring conductors terminates proximate to the dicing channel. A set of plated through holes is fabricated through at least one of the set of areas such that at least one of the set of plated through holes connects to at least one of the set of signal wiring conductors. The electrically insulating substrate is singulated along a set of singulation lines to form the set of printed circuit boards. The singulation lines intersect with the plated through holes, so that a portion of the plated through holes is exposed along the peripheral edge of the resulting printed circuit boards.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard Stephen Graf, Thomas Edward Lombardi, Sudipta Kumar Ray, David Justin West

Publication number: 20150086655Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to fortified food and dietary supplement products which may be administered to produce desirable physiological improvement. In particular, embodiments of the invention relates to the administration of products enhanced with plant products and iridoids. A study was performed to evaluate the iridoid content, as well as the in vitro and in vivo bioactivities, of a beverage containing noni fruit, Cornelian cherries, and olive leaf extract. The major iridoids present were identified as asperulosidic acid, deacetylasperulosidic acid, oleuropein, morroniside, loganic acid, and loganin In the 2,2-Diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, remarkably high in vitro antioxidant activity was observed, with an IC50 of 3.8 ?L/mL.

Patent number: 8501245Abstract: Implementation is directed to selectively inhibiting estrogen production and providing estrogenic effects in a human body. A dietary supplement includes a processed Morinda citrifolia product that is used to inhibit aromatase or aromatase enzymes that function to convert androgens to estrogens, inhibit receptors from binding with estrogen, and reduce and/or regulate estrogen production, as well as reduce the amount of estrogen produced within the body and regulating such production. The dietary supplement further provides estrogenic effects. The present invention methods and compositions effectively function to treat estrogen-dependent cancers, and particularly inhibit, destroy, and reverse the effects of of estrogen-dependent cancerous tumors through the introduction into the body (e.g. ingesting) a safe, pre-determined dosage of a naturaceutical composition formulated with or comprising one or more processed Morinda citrifolia products for a safe, pre-determined duration.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2004Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Morinda, Inc.Inventors: Mian Ying Wang, Chen Xing Su, Afa Kehaati Palu, Bing-Nan Zhou, Brett Justin West, Johannes Joseph Westendorf, Claude Jarakae Jensen, Stephen Paul Story
