  • Patent number: 10526820
    Abstract: A handle system and mechanism for a vehicle rolling door is disclosed. The system has an inside handle with a handle portion and a shank portion. The system also has a selectively rotatable swing plate. The swing plate selectively contacts the shank portion of the inside handle to assist in opening the door. The swing plate can also contact a stop plate. An outside handle is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100203531
    Abstract: This document features methods and materials involved in predicting responsiveness of a mammal (e.g., human) having cancer (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme) to treatment with chemotherapy (e.g., temozolomide). For example, methods and materials for using the methylation status at one or more CpG methylation sites (e.g., CpG 89) in O6-methylguanine methyl-transferase nucleic acid to determine whether or not a mammal having cancer is responsive to treatment with chemotherapy (e.g., temozolomide) are provided.

  • Patent number: 4976835
    Abstract: An aqueous sulfuric acid anolyte solution is circulated through the anode compartment of an electrolytic cell, and an aqueous NaHSO.sub.3 catholyte solution is circulated through its cathode compartment, while maintaining an anolyte and catholyte temperature range of 20.degree.-25.degree. C., a catholyte pH range of 4.6 to 5.8, and a reduction potential of -1.25 to -1.50 V versus Ag.degree./AgCl, to produce an aqueous solution of Na.sub.2 S.sub.2 O.sub.4. Optimum pH is maintained by small additions of an alkali to the catholyte solution for electrolysis and solution stability.

  • Patent number: 4871423
    Abstract: Compositions and a method are disclosed for minimizing brightness reversion of chromophore-containing wood pulps, especially low-cellulose wood pulps, such as groundwood and thermomechanical pulps, which have been reductively bleached or bleached with hydrogen peroxide. Ascorbic acid and palmitoyl ascorbate are particularly effective for preventing such reversion at low levels.

  • Patent number: 4863564
    Abstract: A method is described for increasing the brightness of reductively bleached high yield pulps, comprising bleaching the pulps with a reductive bleaching solution under anaerobic conditions and maintaining the bleached pulps under anaerobic conditions during all handling steps subsequent to bleaching, including paper formation, wet pressing, and drying of the paper formed therefrom. The bleached paper has higher brightness than the same paper produced under aerobic conditions, and the bleaching and handling-derived portion of this higher brightness is retained after storage of the finished paper.
