20090320528 | Spinner for manufacturing dual-component irregularly-shaped hollow insulation fiber - A novel spinner, for fiberizing hollow, irregularly-shaped insulating fibers is the subject matter of the present invention. The spinner is unique in a sense that its hole/slot pattern can be done by some standard drilling/milling techniques, which lower the cost of manufacturing. The invention uses two molten glasses (A and B) of different coefficients of thermal expansion, which are moved outwardly around the corresponding gas orifices by centrifugal force in a spinner pot. A stream of pressurized combustion gases is thrust through these central gas orifices to produce a hollow, non collapsible fiber of irregular shape. Molten glass A is introduced from the bottom of the spinner, and molten glass B is introduced above an uppermost flange and by means of centrifugal force, the two glasses A and B are forced upwardly and downwardly, respectively, into fiberizing centers. The improvement of the present invention is that by using both horizontal baffles and vertical compartments, a greater number of fiberizing orifices can be created on the spinner outside peripheral side wall. | 12-31-2009 |

20120131989 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING AEROSOL PARTICLES - Sizes or size distribution of aerosol particles of an aerosol gas stream is detected. A particle-free carrier flow is saturated in a saturator by a first condensing medium, after which, the carrier flow is mixed in a mixing section turbulently with aerosol particle flow. Advantageously, a plurality of separate mixtures with different saturation ratios are provided and introduced to the first condensing environment in order to condensate the condensing medium onto the aerosol particles. Depending on the saturation ratio, the particles with different lowest original size are activated and grown in a growing section and/or in the condensing environment. After activation and growing, the particles are detected by a detecting means. | 05-31-2012 |

20110152346 | Use of Oligonucleotides with Modified Bases in Hybridization of Nucleic Acids - The invention is concerned with the use of oligonucleotide analogs that contain specifically modified DNA bases to be used in hybridization of nucleic acids, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and siRNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). | 06-23-2011 |
20130029417 | Suppressors of RNA Silencing as Modulators of miRNA Levels - The invention describes use of RNA silencing suppressors or interactors of the suppressors to bring the expression of microRNAs involved in any disease, including malignant neoplasia, back to its normal level. More specifically the present invention provides a method to regulate many miRNAs at the same time. Most of the suppressors according to this invention are coded by plant viruses that unexpectedly can affect RNA silencing and modulate miRNA expression levels in mammalian cells. Also suppressors of endogenous origin are described as able to modulate miRNA expression levels. | 01-31-2013 |

20100137107 | METHOD AND DEVICE ARRANGEMENT FOR MEASURING PHYSICAL EXERCISE PROMOTING CHOLESTEROL METABOLISM - A measuring device and a method estimates the quantity and quality of exercises performed having an advantageous impact on cholesterol metabolism. In the method, accelerations exerted on a person during daily exercise performed by the person are continuously recorded by a measuring device including an acceleration transducer. The recorded results are visible in the measuring device or an external device. Based on the received feedback, the person can change the quantity and quality of his/her exercise so that it has an advantageous impact on cholesterol metabolism. | 06-03-2010 |

20130255322 | MOULD CONSTRUCTION FOR BENDING GLASS SHEETS - The mould construction for bending glass sheets includes a framework and support plates on vertical planes, the curvature of the upper edge of the plates essentially corresponding to the desired bending curvature of the glass sheet. On the upper edges of the support plates are slots and pipes forming the mould surface are positioned in the slots. The slots are dimensioned with play with respect to the pipes, but to lock the upward movement of the pipes from the slots. The support plates are supported on the framework in such a way that one end of the mould surface is lower than the other end. The difference in height, that is, the inclination of the mould surface, is dimensioned so as to effect the resting of the edge of the glass sheet placed on the mould against the end stoppers during the bending stage. | 10-03-2013 |
