152 Peptides which enhance transport across tissues and methods of identifying and using the same US10329130 2002-12-23 US20060275746A9 2006-12-07 Daniel O'Mahony
A method of identifying a peptide which permits or facilitates the transport of an active agent through a human or animal tissue. A predetermined amount of phage from a random phage library or preselected phage library is plated unto or brought into contact with a first side, preferably the apical side, of a tissue sample or polarized tissue cell culture. At a predetermined time, the phage which is transported to a second side of the tissue opposite the first side, preferably the basolateral side, is harvested to select transported phage. This modified phage is amplified in a host. This cycle of events is repeated (using the transported phage produced in the most recent cycle) a predetermined number of times to obtain a selected phage library containing phage which can be transported from the first side to the second side. Lastly, the identity of at least one peptide coded by phage in the selected phage library is determined to identify a peptide which permits or facilitates the transport of an active agent through a human or animal tissue.

155 Strike zone pitching backstop US10164342 2002-06-07 US20030228943A1 2003-12-11 Richard Dean Powell
A backstop with a mounted plate attached to a tubular-like brace which simulates a Strike-Zone. A fiber-glass cover attaches to the tubular-like brace and catches any balls off the plate area. This device allows for pitching and hitting practice or the playing of many variations of the game of baseball. The molded plate is the hitters's Strike-Zone and is the target for the pitcher to pitch to. It also acts as a training device for hitters to see where their strike zone is instead of guessing. The mounted plate is adjustable to match the Strike-Zone of different size batters. The tubular structure of the backstop telescopes down because the upper half tubing is smaller than the lower base half allowing for easy transporting and storage.

A hollow rubber play ball is disclosed that uses a combination two or more fillers to produce desirable playing properties in a tennis ball as specified by the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ITF). The preferred play ball is a pressureless tennis ball. The specific fillers disclosed are mineral type particulate reinforcing fillers such as silicas and carbon black, polymeric fillers such as cellulose, a reaction product of grafting polyethylene with cellulose, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. These fillers can also have surface treatments to enhance the elastomer-filler interaction. Another reinforcing filler that can be introduced with the rubber components is the non-rubber constituents in skim rubber that serve to increase the modulus of a compounded rubber.
