Publication number: 20140060757Abstract: A canopy for use with a retractable, roll-up awning has lateral sides that taper in width from a wider stationary edge to a slightly narrower leading edge. The lateral edges of the canopy may be hemmed and the taper may be designed such that sections of the hems along each edge corresponding in length to a circumference of a roller tube roll up on the roller tube immediately adjacent but laterally further outward from a prior section of hem wrapped around the circumference of the roller tube during the prior rotation of the roller tube. The hems may house wires in a linear pocket defined therein. The wires connect with the roller tube to provide power or control signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2012Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: CAREFREE/SCOTT FETZER COMPANYInventors: Scott P.

Publication number: 20070112064Abstract: Compositions containing purified nucleic acid wherein the nucleic acid acts as an antioxidant. Such compositions also include materials subject to oxidative damage such as antioxidants, vitamins, lipids, foods and pharmaceuticals. The invention also includes methods for preparing such compositions. These methods include dissolving the nucleic acid and a hydrophilic material in an aqueous solution, which may later be dried or further processed. Additionally, nucleic acid may be coupled with a molecule having hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions and then solubilized in a hydrophobic material. It may also be shaped into small aggregates and added to a hydrophobic material.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2006Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventor: Mark Lyles

Publication number: 20060263406Abstract: An implantable infection shield and system for drug delivery in vascular tissue includes a relatively non-biodegradable porous linked fibrous biomaterial which controls and directs cell growth and angiogenesis from adjacent vascular tissue into the implant. Infection shield embodiments stimulate cell growth and angiogenesis from adjacent vascular tissue which effectively blocks passage of pathogenic microorganisms along percutaneously implanted objects. In embodiments for drug delivery, a reservoir of the same biomaterial may contain either (1) a cell culture system enclosed within a porous sealable interior chamber or (2) a biodegradable matrix in which one or more drugs are dispersed. After implantation of a reservoir of the first embodiment in an organism, cultured cells obtain food and oxygen via diffusion in tissue fluid through the porous walls of the interior chamber, while metabolic products, including drugs, diffuse away from the cell culture in an analogous manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Inventors: Mark Lyles, Charles McLaughlin, Glenn Halff, William Mallow

Publication number: 20060110424Abstract: A novel metal/ceramic hybrid material in which the void space of the ceramic is filled with metal. The metal may be bonded to the ceramic, for example by formation of a metal oxide. The metal may be introduced into the ceramic as small particles in a suspension then heated to melt the metal, allowing bonding to the ceramic or better filling of the void space. The hybrid material may be used in a variety of applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2005Publication date: May 25, 2006Inventor: Mark Lyles

Patent number: 6991082Abstract: A ball panel for use in a load handling system such as an aircraft cargo hold comprises a top skin having at least one raised support. The ball panel also comprises a corrugation and a bottom skin. The top skin is supported by the corrugation, which has a plurality of side walls, flanges and folded ends. The raised support can be an annular ring, having a ramp between the top skin and a ball transfer unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2003Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Goodrich CorporationInventors: Mark Lyle Olson, James Michael Schaff, Wesley Keith Stegmiller

Publication number: 20050148067Abstract: Surfaces containing high purity silica (silicon dioxide) exhibit high loading potential for nucleic acids. Formulations containing nucleic acids and materials which mask the electrostatic interactions between the nucleic acids and surfaces are disclosed. By masking the phosphate charges of the nucleic acids, undesired interactions may be minimized or eliminated, thereby allowing the covalent bonding of the nucleic acids to the surface to proceed. The use of such formulations additionally minimizes nonspecific binding of the nucleic acids to the surface. Examples of materials to be included in such formulations include cations, xanthines, hexoses, purines, arginine, lysine, polyarginine, polylysine, and quaternary ammonium salts.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventor: Mark Lyles

Patent number: 6883965Abstract: A support for use with a ball transfer unit associated, in use, with a double-skinned deck panel, the support being characterised by being elongate, rigid, and adapted at one end to receive the housing of a ball transfer unit and to seat beneath a peripheral shoulder of the housing which is presented in use towards the lower skin of the panel, the support further being shaped at its opposite end to present to the lower skin of the panel, in use, a “foot-print” which includes and exceeds the “foot-print” presented in use by the ball transfer unit housing to the lower skin of the panel, the length of the support being such that, in use, with the “foot-print” of the support engaging the lower skin of the panel, the ball of the ball transfer unit protrudes from the upper skin of the panel by a predetermined, desired amount. There is also disclosed a support and unit combination, a deck panel, and a method of repairing a deck panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2002Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Goodrich CorporationInventors: Steven Craig Gasal, Mark Lyle Olson

Publication number: 20050065335Abstract: A method of using modified xanthine molecules as a binding agent is disclosed. Xanthine molecules with at least one substitution of a methyl group at the N1, N3, N7, or N9 position bind to intercalating molecules efficiently. This method can be applied to inhibiting intercalating molecules from binding to nucleic acids, as well as removing intercalating molecules that have been bound to nucleic acids. This method can also be applied to synthesize an efficient drug delivery system for compounds that have low solubility in aqueous media, including anti-neoplastic agents. The method can also be applied to flurosecently labeling nucleic acids.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2001Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventor: Mark Lyles
