20090215721 | DIETARY COMPOSITIONS AND RELATED METHODS OF USE - The present invention provides dietary compositions for mammalian consumption. In particular, the present invention provides compositions comprising pectin, a component comprising electrolytes, thickening agents, a sweetening agent, and water, and methods for making such compositions. In some embodiments, the dietary compositions are used for preventing and/or treating malabsorption dysfunction and associated disorders (e.g., short bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease). In some embodiments, the dietary compositions are used for preventing and/or treating colonic disorders (e.g., ulcerative colitis). The dietary compositions further find use in subjects with diarrhea, regardless of cause, subject suffering from gastric dumping syndrome, and obese patients or patients seeking to lose weight, as the composition delays gastric emptying (e.g., creating feeling of early satiety). In some embodiments, the dietary composition is a prebiotic food supplement. | 08-27-2009 |

20140055310 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANTENNA POINTING CONTROLLER CALIBRATION - A craft (e.g., an aircraft, a spacecraft, a watercraft, a vehicle such as an automotive vehicle or a rail vehicle, or any suitable mobile platform) may incorporate a first inertial measurement unit. A calibration unit incorporating a second inertial measurement unit may be mounted to the craft with a mount point. One or more first inertial measurements may be received from the first inertial measurement unit and the second inertial measurement unit. One or more antenna pointing controller calibration parameters may be determined based at least in part on the first inertial measurement(s) and the second inertial measurement(s). An antenna pointing controller may be configured with the determined calibration parameters and may control a steerable antenna subsystem mounted with the mount point utilizing the determined calibration parameters. The mount point may be keyed such that inertial measurements with the mounted calibration unit are applicable to the mounted steerable antenna subsystem. | 02-27-2014 |

20130145902 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONDENSING METAL VAPOR - An apparatus for condensing metal vapors has at least one inlet conduit that is cooled to cause a portion of the metal vapor to condense to liquid. The apparatus also has a holding tank that is connected to the inlet conduit that collects condensed liquid metal. The apparatus also has at least one outlet conduit connected to the holding tank that is cooled to cause a portion of the remaining metal vapor to condense to solid metal. The apparatus also has at least one heater that heats the at least one outlet conduit to cause the solid metal to melt to liquid metal and subsequently flow in to the holding tank. The apparatus also has at least one sealing mechanism located at a distal end of the at least one outlet conduit for preventing metal vapor and carrier gas from exiting the outlet conduit during heating of the outlet conduit. | 06-13-2013 |

20080243118 | Electrosurgical Pencil With Drag Sensing Capability - An electrosurgical pencil configured and adapted to support an electrocautery blade. A strain gauge is affixed to the proximal end of the electrocautery blade and measures the displacement of the blade as a result of resistance and drag acting on the blade. The electrosurgical pencil also includes a meter electrically connected to the strain gauge for monitoring either a change in voltage, a change in electrical current or a change in optical wavelength. The amount of blade displacement as measured by the strain gauge is available for display to the surgeon and/or as sensory input for a control circuit in the electrosurgical generator that modulates the generator output waveform. The electrosurgical pencil further includes a control circuit electrically coupled between the electrocautery blade and the electrosurgical generator. The control circuit is configured and adapted to control power supplied to electrocautery blade based on the displacement measured by the strain gauge. | 10-02-2008 |

20160039352 | DOOR-FRAME HOOK FOR SECURING VEHICLE ROOF-TOP LOADS - There is disclosed a door-frame hook, for enabling a load strap, attached to a vehicle rooftop load carrier, to engage a door frame of the vehicle to secure the load carrier when the load strap is tightened. The hook may be anchored onto a frame ridge of the door frame and in part, covered by a sealer attached to the door frame. The door-frame hook of the invention may, advantageously, remain in position, between the frame-ridge of the door frame and the sealer potter, regardless of the degree of tightness of the load strap or the degree of its pull on the hook, as well as when the load strap is unattached. Moreover, it does not harm the door sealer nor does it interfere in any way with its sealing function or with the shutting action of the door. | 02-11-2016 |
