  • Patent number: 10421778
    Abstract: Isoform-selective lysine deacetylase inhibitors are described. Inhibitors of the lysine deacetylase enzyme are useful as antitumor drugs and for treating addiction, asthma, cardio-vascular disease, immunosuppression, neurodegenerative diseases, sepsis, sickle-cell disease, uveal melanoma and termination of viral latency, particularly HIV-1 latency.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7156081
    Abstract: A fuel conditioning assembly having an elongated housing with an inlet, an outlet, and a flow through passage there between. The inlet is coupled with a fuel supply so as to receive fuel flow there through into the flow through passage, wherein a turbulent flow of the fuel is initiated and the fuel is influenced by a combination of elements, in compound or elemental form, some of which are maintained in a select location within the flow through passage by a binding element. These elements may include copper, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, barium, calcium, iron, zirconium, cerium, platinum, and/or palladium which chemically condition the fuel flowing through the flow through passage by rearranging the molecular bonds of the fuel with a catalytic effect. The fuel, regardless of its type is dispersed into very small droplets having high surface areas thereby lowering the vapor density of the fuel and substantially increasing a fuel burn efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6915789
    Abstract: A fuel conditioning assembly, structured to be positioned between a fuel supply and a fuel combustion assembly, and including an elongate tubular housing having an inlet end, an outlet end, and a flow through passage extending there between. The inlet end is coupled with the fuel supply so as to receive fuel flow there through into the flow through passage, wherein a turbulent flow of the fuel is initiated and the fuel is influenced by a combination of elements, in compound or elemental form such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, barium, calcium, iron, zirconium, cerium, platinum, and/or palladium which chemically condition the fuel flowing through the flow through passage by rearranging the molecular bonds of the fuel with a catalytic effect. The fuel, regardless of its type is further dispersed into very small droplets having high surface areas thereby lowering the vapor density of the fuel and substantially increasing a fuel burn efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6550460
    Abstract: A fuel conditioning assembly, structured to be positioned between a fuel supply and a fuel combustion assembly, and including an elongate tubular housing having an inlet end, an outlet end, and a flow through passage extending therebetween. The inlet end is coupled with the fuel supply so as to receive fuel flow therethrough into the flow through passage, wherein a turbulent flow of the fuel is initiated and the fuel is influenced by a combination of metallic elements such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, barium, calcium and/or iron, which chemically condition the fuel flowing through the flow through passage by rearranging the molecular bonds of the fuel with a catalytic effect and separating the fuel particles into a plurality of subatomic particles, thereby reducing a density of the fuel and substantially increasing a fuel burn efficiency.
