20080261704 | SHAFT TUBE SYSTEM FOR BRAKE FOUNDATION - A shaft tube system comprises a shaft having an elongated body, a cam at a brake end and a coupler at an actuated end. A shaft tube accommodates the shaft such that a cavity is defined between the elongated body of the shaft and an interior of the shaft tube with the shaft being rotatable along its longitudinal axis within the shaft tube. The shaft tube has a blockable inlet in fluid communication with the cavity to supply lubricant to the cavity. Seals are positioned between the shaft and the shaft tube at opposed ends of the shaft tube so as to define a lubricant reserve in said cavity, to lubricate the shaft with respect to the interior of the shaft tube. A purge system has a purge outlet in the shaft tube in fluid communication with the cavity adjacent to the brake end for lubricant from the lubricant reserve to be purged therethrough, and a flow control member for each said purge outlet restricting an exit of lubricant through the purge outlet. | 10-23-2008 |

20120186111 | Plow - The present invention is directed to a plow substantially made from polymeric material and that may be used with an all-terrain vehicle (“ATV”) or other similar vehicles. The design and shape of the plow generally cause the snow to move toward the middle of the plow instead of being pushed out of snow removal path or toward the sides of the plow. | 07-26-2012 |

20100034429 | Deconvolution-based structured light system with geometrically plausible regularization - Systems and methods for processing images in a structured light system which may be used to determine the correspondences in a camera-projector system. Those correspondences can later be used to construct a 3D model, to calibrate a projector or for other purposes. The optical and geometric characteristics of the system are initially determined. The capability of establishing correspondences is affected by the limitations of the system and the properties of the surfaces. Once images of the patterns projected on the surface are acquired, they are iteratively segmented and deconvolved using the known characteristics of the system. The result is a set of correspondences with a reduction of artifacts introduced by the limitations of the system. The characteristics of the structured light system which may be used in the iterative segmentation and deconvolution may include the characteristics of a pattern projected on the scene or object, the physical characteristics of the structured light system, as well as the characteristics of the scene or object itself. | 02-11-2010 |

20120293700 | HIGH RESOLUTION HIGH CONTRAST EDGE PROJECTION - Generating a high definition projected illumination pattern from a substantially lower resolution digital projector array involves: selectively illuminating a connected set of pixels to produce a pixellated, high contrast edge feature, and positioning an anisotropically blurring optical element (ABOE) between a light source of the projector array and the projection. The ABOE applies an anisotropic blur pattern to pixels of the at least one connected set, to locally preferentially blur the pixel more (and preferably substantially only) in a direction of equally or more strongly illuminated pixels, and not in directions of less illuminated pixels. Preferably a contour of the connected set has no beginning or end within a periphery of the illumination plane, and has bounded curvature, permitting simple ABOEs to be used. Several images each having several or many edges can be produced using a same ABOE. The ABOE may alleviate interpixel gap effects for non-edge pixels too. | 11-22-2012 |

20090297545 | IMMUNOMODULATORY DAIRY PEPTIDES AND USES THEREOF - The present invention provide a new method for modulating the immune system of a subject in need thereof by administering a dairy-derived peptide to the subject, particularly a β-lactoglubulin-derived peptide (β-Lg peptide). According to one aspect, the modulation of the immune system is the modulation of a Th1 response. According to another aspect, the modulation of the immune system is the modulation of a Th2 response. | 12-03-2009 |
20100272708 | METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF TYPE AND TYPE IV HYPERSENSITIVITY - The present application relates to methods for the treatment of eczema and uses of a dairy-derived composition. The treatment involves oral administration of 800 mg/day of a composition comprising TGF-β1, TGF-β2, IGF-1 and 60% (w/w) beta-lactoglobulin derived from whey. | 10-28-2010 |

20080274217 | Oral Compositions and Route of Administration for the Delivery of a Thylakoid Extract - The present invention provides a new use for a thylakoid extract, that is for oral route of administration, and a composition comprising the thylakoid extract in adjunction with an acceptable carrier for oral administration. Besides the pharmaceutical use, the thylakoid extract enters the composition of food or food supplements, for its inocuity and its capacity to provide a diet enriched in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention is provided the use of a thylakoid extract in the making of an oral composition for treating or preventing a disease or disorder involving the formation of reactive oxygen species or inflammation. Also is provided a method for treating or preventing a disease or disorder involving the formal of reactive oxygen species or inflammation in an individual, which comprises the step of orally administering an effective dose of a thylakoid extract. Further is provided an oral composition comprising a thylakoid extract and a vehicle for oral ingestion or oral administration. An oral composition comprising purified thylakoids and a carrier for oral ingestion or oral administration, with the proviso that the carrier does not essentially consists of water, physiological saline or propylene glycol is also provided as food or a food supplement, or as a pellet, or encapsulated granules or powder. The carrier may be present in an amount of 0.01% to 95% (w/w) of the total composition. The purified thylakoids are present in an amount which achieves a dosage of 0.1 to 10 mg per Kg of a subject's body weight. | 11-06-2008 |

20120275646 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING IF A PIECE OF LUGGAGE CONTAINS A LIQUID PRODUCT - A method, an apparatus and a system are provided for determining if a piece of luggage contains a liquid product comprised of a container holding a body of liquid. The piece of X-ray scanner luggage is scanned with an X-ray scanner to generate X-ray image data conveying an image of the piece of luggage and contents thereof. The X-ray image data is processed with a computer to detect a liquid product signature in the X-ray image data and determine if a liquid product is present in the piece of luggage. A detection signal is released at an output of the computer conveying whether a liquid product was identified in the piece of luggage. The detection signal may, for example, be used in rendering a visual representation of the piece of luggage on a display device to convey information to an operator as to the presence of a liquid product in the piece of luggage. | 11-01-2012 |
