20140377130 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND ARTICLES TO PROVIDE OLFACTORY SENSATIONS - A scent release system includes scent cartridges containing temperature activated scent media. The scent cartridges may bear machine-readable identification that specifies which scent media are carried by the cartridge. The scent release system can be controlled by a timer to initiate a phase change of the scent media to selectively release one or more scents, followed by a reverse phase change to selectively stop release of the respective scents. A scent release system in conjunction with a mobile electronic device, such as a smart phone, allows sending and receiving scent messages. The scent release system can be built into a case for the mobile electronic device, eliminating the need for a separate unit. A private scent delivery device in the form of a headset can be worn by users of a scent release system or by scent message recipients. | 12-25-2014 |

20130195763 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IMPROVING SLEEP AND MEMORY - A method for determining whether a substance can increase the expression level of a fatty acid binding protein (FABP) in an animal. The method includes using a cell that includes an expression construct that comprises a FABP promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide sequence encoding a reporter molecule, wherein the cell is contacted with a candidate substance and then cultivating the cell under conditions conducive to expression of the reporter molecule. Increased expression of the construct in the presence of the candidate substance as compared to a control leads to improved sleep and long-term memory in the subject. | 08-01-2013 |

20160138427 | Waste Heat Recovery System and Method of Operating the Same - A method of recovering waste heat includes pressurizing a flow of working fluid and transferring heat from a hot gas stream to the flow of working fluid in at least two successively arranged heat transfer sections. At least some of the working fluid is converted to a superheated vapor by the transfer of heat, and passes through an expander to recover useful work. A portion of the flow of working fluid is directed along a branch after having passed through at least one of the heat transfer sections, and bypasses the expander and at least one of the heat transfer sections before being recombined with the working fluid that has passed through the expander. The total flow rate of working fluid can be adjusted to regulate the temperature of the hot gas stream downstream of the heat transfer sections, and the amount of fluid that bypasses along the branch can be adjusted to regulate the temperature of the superheated vapor. | 05-19-2016 |
