  • Patent number: 9250834
    Abstract: According to aspects of the embodiments, there is provided methods of decomposing and modifying a bitmap image before it is rendered by an output device. Segments of a print image are determined by an aptly programmed processor. In a bitmap driver process, dimensions and location of an area on each print image is processed so as to form objects that can be deleted, modified, or replaced. The process allows for the addition of objects such as tracking or security and the processing of objects to interpret the data found, remove it, and possibly replace it with data based on what was read. These modified objects are embedded in the output bitmap image without increasing its size by reusing dimensions and location of selected areas of the print image.

  • Patent number: 8528599
    Abstract: A pulse width modulated solenoid system having low noise characteristics is described. Noise reduction is primarily achieved by separating the solenoid device from the insulator and the manifold housing through the use of rubber isolators and multiple sets of o-rings, thus preventing metal to metal contact. Additional noise reduction is achieved by encapsulating all of the solenoids, using the insulator, the cover plate, the housing, and the screen carrier. Noise levels are also further reduced by minimizing the impact force of the armature against the sleeve by allowing fluid to vent into the upper area of the sleeve, thus causing a dampening effect.

  • Publication number: 20130209910
    Abstract: A fuel cell arrangement operable in environments that are prone to explosions including a fuel cell stack 14 that is housed in a containment vessel 15 filled with a heat equalizing fluid 26 and provided with a cooling system. The heat equalizing fluid 26 flows around all sides of the fuel cell stack 14 and prevents a direct concentrated heat transfer from the surface of the fuel cell stack 14 to the containment housing 15. The heat equalizing fluid 26 buffers and distributes local heat peaks originating from the fuel cell stack 14 and thus eliminates ignition sources.

  • Publication number: 20120045413
    Abstract: The inventors have treated human patients for warts by intralesional injection of Candida antigen to induce a delayed-type hypersensitivity response in the patients. This creates an immune response that recognizes the antigens of the human papilloma virus (HPV) found in and causing the warts. It was found that the patients showed a response to HPV type 57 L1 peptide 380-412 (a peptide consisting of amino acid residues 380-412 of the protein L1) and HPV type 57 protein E4 (E4 10-30). One embodiment of the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a polypeptide comprising (a) L1 380-412 (SEQ ID NO:3) or a fragment of at least 8 residues of SEQ ID NO:3 or (b) E4 10-30 (SEQ ID NO:4) or a fragment of at least 8 residues of E4 10-30 (SEQ ID NO:4), wherein the composition is immunogenic in humans.
