Clean transportation system 

Abstract

A transportation system for transporting a biological material container between a sterile field
and a nonsterile field and substantially maintaining sterility of the biological material container
includes a housing assembly that removably houses the biological material container. The system
also includes a port defined by the housing assembly, and the port provides communication into
the biological material container from outside the housing assembly. The housing assembly
includes a first member that covers a first portion of the biological material container such that a
second portion of the biological material container extends from the first member. The housing
assembly also includes a second member that covers the second portion of the biological material
container. The second member is removably coupled to the first member to expose the second
portion of the biological material container. A keying member that keys the transportation
system in a centrifuge is also disclosed.

Systems and methods for processing benefits 

Abstract

Systems and methods for processing, for example, childcare benefits include: issuing a benefit
card to a childcare customer; receiving a start time for childcare service at a childcare provider,
the start time recorded by using the benefit card at a terminal located at the childcare provider at
the start of childcare service; receiving an end time for childcare service at the childcare
provider, the end time recorded by using the benefit card at a terminal located at the childcare
provider at the end of childcare service; computing the childcare benefit eligibility based on the
start time, the end time and benefits available for the childcare customer; and paying the
childcare provider a payment based on the computed benefit eligibility.

Method and system for placing a purchase order via a communications network 

Abstract

A method and system for placing an order to purchase an item via the Internet. The order is
placed by a purchaser at a client system and received by a server system. The server system
receives purchaser information including identification of the purchaser, payment information,
and shipment information from the client system. The server system then assigns a client
identifier to the client system and associates the assigned client identifier with the received
purchaser information. The server system sends to the client system the assigned client identifier
and an HTML document identifying the item and including an order button. The client system
receives and stores the assigned client identifier and receives and displays the HTML document.
In response to the selection of the order button, the client system sends to the server system a
request to purchase the identified item. The server system receives the request and combines the
purchaser information associated with the client identifier of the client system to generate an
order to purchase the item in accordance with the billing and shipment information whereby the
purchaser effects the ordering of the product by selection of the order button.

RMS Note: Translated into ordinary language, this means they ask you for some information
about you, record it, and send your browser a cookie containing a customer number to identify
you.

Then, every time you click on a page from the same server, the browser sends back the cookie
that it previously got from the same server. (That is not Amazon's idea; that is what browsers
always do with cookies.) This gives the server your customer number. It uses your customer
number to find your customer information.

jet to the operation site in order to facilitate dissection of tissues, the pressure being regulated 
according to the nature o-f the tissues to be dissected with or without monopolar diathermy
current application facility,wherein the device consisting of medicl grade normal saline/isotonic
salt solution bottle in which vertical portion of the L shaped inlet pipe is inserted for contro-lled
entry of air to create the air pressure by the rubber bulb connected at the end of the horizontal
portion of the inlet pipe,the said air presuure can be measured in the pressure gauge which is
connected with the horizontal portion of the L shaped inlet pipe through the T-extension and
vertical portion of the L-shaped outlet pipe is inserted to the said bottle wherein horizontal
portion is connedted to the valve of the hand instrument for controlled delivery of normal
saline/isotonic salt solution to the operative site through different types of canulae.Various
detachable canula tips have been designed for also getting mechanical advantage during tissue

IDENTIFYING DALA-D-ALA LIGASE INHIBITORS AS ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS"

Name of Applicant : PLIVA D.D.

8)CONNELLY, PATRICK R (U.S.A.)
9)PEROLA,EMANUELE (U.S.A.)
Abstract :
The invention is based on the discovery that certain small molecules can bind to the ATP binding
site of D-Ala-D-Ala ligase, even in the absence of the enzyme's substrate, and can cause a
conformational change in the enzyme structure similar to that which occurs upon binding of ATP
and substrate to the enzyme. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that such
a conformational change is required for either activation or inhibition of the enzyme. The
information obtained from this discovery has enabled identification of key interactions in the
active site of the enzyme, as well as the design and optimization of inhibitors.

Title of the invention : DRAFTING DEVICE FOR SPINING MACHINEA

Name of Applicant : NORBERT BARAUKE
Name of Inventor :NORBERT BARAUKE (Germany)
Abstract :
The drafting device is foreseen for spinning machines and consists of at least two roller pairs
arranged at a distance to one another and forming a drafting zone between them for a through-
running fibre structure. The roller pairs respectively clamp the fibre structure between
themselves, whereby at least one roller pair supports circulating aprons that are in contact with
the fibre structure in the region of the drafting zone. The one roller of the roller pair supporting
the apron (11) is formed by a fixed sliding plate (9, 12) almost oval in cross-section whose side
towards allied roller(2) is designed as plane surface. The apron (11) guided on the sliding plate is
designed as endless woven or knitted fabric hand.

Title of the invention : ARCH-LOADED QUIDE BRACKET DESION

Name of Applicant : BORG WARNER INC.,

Name of Inventor :ANDREW C. SHUM (U.S.A.)
Abstract :
A chain guide and mounting system are disclosed, which lead the chain guide to be arch-loaded
and to have greater strength than traditional chain guides under normal operating conditions. The
mounting bolt hole locations are designed for a given chain 5 guide bolt slot configuration, or
vice versa, or the bolt shafts are enlarged. The relationship between the bolt holes and the bolt
slots is such that when the chain guide is mounted, loaded, and subjected to normal operating
temperatures, the bolts are flush with the sides of the bolt slots. Thus, some of the forces from
the operating chain are converted into compressive stresses, thereby reducing the maximum
tensile stress, reducing maximum 10 deflection, and increasing the safety factor of the chain
guide.
