The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A magnet arrangement for creating a magnetic field. The magnet arrangement includes a first magnet having a first surface defining a first pole and a second surface defining a second pole opposite the first pole, and a second magnet having a third surface defining a third pole and a fourth surface defining a fourth pole opposite the third pole. The second surface has a higher magnetic flux density than the first surface. The third surface has a higher magnetic flux density than the fourth surface. The second magnet is spaced from the first magnet to define a first gap between the second surface and the third surface. Magnetic field lines of the magnetic field run from the first surface to the second surface, from the second surface to the third surface through the first gap, and from the third surface to the fourth surface." The patent application was filed on Jan. 30, 2012 (13/361,417). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,310,325&OS=8,310,325&RS=8,310,325 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi. *** Mallinckrodt Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 16 -- Mallinckrodt, Hazelwood, Mo., has been assigned a patent (8,309,727) developed by four co-inventors for an "opiate reduction utilizing catalytic hydrogen transfer reaction." The co-inventors are Peter X. Wang, Chesterfield, Mo., Tao Jiang, St. Louis, Gary L. Cantrell, Troy, Ill., and David Wayne Berberich, St. Peters, Mo. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An improved opiate synthesis scheme is provided. An improvement to the oxidation of oripavine and oripavine derivatives comprises the in-situ formation of the peroxacids required to oxidize the oripavine and oripavine derivatives to form an intermediate. An improvement to the reduction of the intermediate to form oxycodone and oxycodone derivatives comprises reduction utilizing a hydrogen transfer reagent. These improvements allow the production of oxycodone and oxycodone derivatives without isolation of the intermediate, providing a one-pot synthesis method. ##STR00001##." The patent application was filed on April 15, 2008 (12/595,519).

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A light emitting diode (LED) light engine is provided for use in a light fixture to enable improved and efficient dissipation of heat generated in the light fixture. The light engine includes a circuit board that includes multiple LEDs for emitting light. The light engine includes a chassis that has a plurality of upper fins that extend upward from a central flanged portion to dissipate heat generated by the LEDs into the lighting fixture. The circuit board is mounted to a mounting surface on the chassis that is surrounded by a fin wall that depends from the central flanged portion. The chassis also has a plurality of lower fins that extend outward from an outer surface of the fin wall to dissipate heat out of the fixture and into the ambient air environment." The patent application was filed on Sept. 23, 2009 (12/565,584). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,310,158.PN.&OS=PN/8,310,158&RS=PN/8,310,158 Written by Kusum Sangma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Watlow Electric Manufacturing Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 16 -- Watlow Electric Manufacturing, St. Louis, has been assigned a patent (8,311,402) developed by four co-inventors for a modular heater system. The co-inventors are Louis P. Steinhauser, St. Louis, Eric Ellis, Columbia, Mo., Louis T. Lesch, Belleville, Ill., and Troy Ruben Bolton, Fulton, Mo. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A heater system is provided that includes a plurality of carrier members, each carrier member defining an inner periphery surface, an outer receiving portion, and connecting portions. A plurality of resistive heating elements are disposed within the outer receiving portions of the carrier members, and end fittings are disposed proximate the carrier members and the resistive heating elements. A cover is disposed around the carrier members and the resistive heating elements, and the inner periphery surfaces of the carrier members are adapted to transfer heat to a target and the connecting portions are adapted to be secured to at least one of an adjacent carrier member and a heating target. In one form, at least one set of a carrier member and a resistive heating element are resiliently movable such that the heater system provides tactile feedback to an installer that the heater system is properly installed around a target." The patent application was filed on July 13, 2007 (11/777,709). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,311,402.PN.&OS=PN/8,311,402&RS=PN/8,311,402 Written by Kusum Sangma; edited by Anand Kumar.
