Publication number: 20190292822Abstract: A door hinge assembly is provided. The door hinge assembly includes a first hinge plate, a second hinge plate, one or more bushings, a hinge pin and a hollow sleeve. The first and second hinge plate includes a one or more first and second knuckles aligned axially. At least one of the one or more bushings is positioned in between the first and second knuckle to prevent direct contact of first and second knuckle. The hinge pin is disposed through the first and second knuckles and one or more bushings. The hollow sleeve acts a covering to the hinge pin. The hollow sleeve further prevents contact of the sides of the first knuckle, bushings and second knuckle with the hinge pin. This prevents a direct metal on metal contact and further prevents squeak or other noises occurred during the opening and closing of the door.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2019Publication date: September 26, 2019Applicant: Kenerly Enterprises, LLCInventors: Kedrick Dean Kenerly, Wayne Robert Thomas

Patent number: 6905845Abstract: Isolated nucleic acids encoding allergens of the species Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae, Der p VII and Der f VII, respectively, are disclosed. A cDNA encoding a peptide having a Der p VII activity and a predicted molecular weight of about 22, 177 daltons is described. A cDNA encoding a peptide having Der f VII activity is also described. The nucleic acid of the invention can be used as probes to detect the presence of Der p VII or Der f VII nucleotide acid in a sample or for the recombinant production of peptides having a Der p VII or Der f VII activity. Peptides having a Der p VII or Der f VII activity can be used in compositions suitable for pharmaceutical administration or methods of diagnosing sensitivity to house dust mite allergens.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Heska CorporationInventors: Wayne Robert Thomas, Kaw-Yan Chua

Patent number: 6849427Abstract: A novel protein allergen Der p VII of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is described. A cDNA clone encoding Der p VII was isolated from a ?gt11 library of D. pteronyssinus cDNA. The nucleic acid sequence of Der p VII encodes a 198 residue mature processed protein having a predicted molecular weight of 22,177 daltons. Der p VII protein may be used as the active ingredient in therapeutic composition for the treatment of sensitivity to house dust mites. The protein may also be used in methods of diagnosing such sensitivity.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1993Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: ImmuLogic Pharmaceutical Corp.Inventors: Wayne Robert Thomas, Kaw-Yan Chua
