Publication number: 20080251136Abstract: An air control regulator regulates the amount of air flowing into the inlet of a combustion chamber by causing flowing air to support a disc located in the air passage against the force of gravity. Air passes around the edges of the disc and is channeled into a plurality of airflows by ovoid depressions in the inner surfaces of the regulator forming a venturi chamber. By regulating the airflow into the combustion chamber, combustion efficiency is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2008Publication date: October 16, 2008Applicant: FLAMEKEEPERS, LLCInventor: Mark William Kendall

Publication number: 20040037884Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel enteric-coated oral dosage form of a risedronate active ingredient comprised of a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutical compostion which is comprised of a risedronate active ingredient and pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients. Said dosage forms prohibit the exposure of the risedronate active ingredient to the epithelial and mucosal tissues of the buccal cavity, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach and thereby protects said tissues from erosion, ulceration or other like irritation. Accordingly, the said dosage forms effect the delivery to the lower intestinal tract of said human or other mammal of a safe and effective amount of the risedronate active ingredient, and substantially alleviate the esophagitis or esophageal irritation which sometimes accompanies the oral administration of risedronate active ingredients.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2003Publication date: February 26, 2004Applicant: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Richard John Dansereau, Russell James Mosher, Douglas Wayne Axelrod, William Kendall Sietsema

Publication number: 20030210702Abstract: A packet processing device has an on-board match engine memory. Actions to be taken on a packet can be looked up in the match engine memory using a key comprising a match engine index and a protocol field from the packet. The match engine index is obtained from either a relatively small on-board parser memory or a larger context memory. The parser memory contains match engine indices for sparse protocols. Performance approaching that of hard-wired packet processors can be obtained. New protocols or changes in protocols can be accommodated by writing new values into the match engine, parser and context memories. The packet processing device can be provided in a pipelined architecture.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2003Publication date: November 13, 2003Applicant: AlcatelInventor: Chad William Kendall
