Title: System for termite detection and control
Inventor: THORNE BARBARA L
IPC: A01M1/00
Filed: 1993-09-07
Granted: 1997-04-10
Abstract: A system for termite detection and control is provided by a subterranean bait station having a perforated outer housing permanently implanted in the terrain below ground level, and a perforated cartridge removably received within the housing. The openings in the housing and the cartridge are in alignment with each other when the cartridge is fully received within the housing in its operational position. The cartridge received within the housing will initially contain a non-toxic bait material for diagnosing or assessing the level of a termite infestation; the bait cartridge is periodically removed from the housing to inspect for termite activity. If termite activity is detected, the non-toxic bait cartridge is replaced in the housing with a correspondingly perforated pesticide-containing bait cartridge for extermination of termites. Removal, replacement and substitution of the non-toxic and pesticide containing cartridges does not disturb pre-existing termite foraging galleries as a result of the precise alignment of the openings of the housing and the removable, exchangeable cartridges. The system may also be used for above-ground termite detection and control by externally mounting an appropriately modified housing to an outer surface of any article to be monitored, such as a timber.

Title: Solid phase test for the detection of periodontal disease in subgingival plaque
Inventor: KERSCHENSTEINER DANIEL
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1990-01-11
Granted: 1992-01-16
Abstract: Subgingival plaque samples can be analyzed for the presence of the trypsin substrate N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-2-naphthylamide (BANA) in order to make a clinical diagnosis of periodontal disease. The solid phase test utilizes enzyme sensitive reagents adsorbed separately onto two elements. The sample is added to one element, the second element contacted therewith and water is added to initiate the reaction. The resulting analysis is complete within thirty minutes. Positive tests indicating periodontal disease-causing organisms are determined by a color change on the element containing the Fast Black K salt color developer. The test provides a stable, readable, permanent record which can be included in the patient's dental records.

Inventor: NAGAYOSHI ATSUHIRO
IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 2000-06-20
Granted: 2004-01-29
Abstract: An object (F) of inside-quality inspection being conveyed on a conveyer is irradiated sideways with beams of light from projection lamps (21) concentratedly. Photodetecting means (3) detects light transmitted through the object (F) irrespective of the size and thickness of the skin of the object (F) without being influenced by extraneous light. A white-level calibrating device (35) is provided to the photodetecting means (3). The projection lamps (21) project and concentrate their beams of light onto one side of the object (F) in an inspection position (11) at different angles fromdifferent positions diagonally distributed from the oblique front to the oblique back. Fractions of light transmitted through the object (F) and emerging from the other side of the object (F) are condensed by a condenser lens (31). A shutter (33) foropening/closing theoptical path is provided between a light-receiving window (313) of the condenser lens (31) and a light-inputting face (321) of an optical fiber for directing light to a spectrometer. The shutter (33) is operated when the inspection center of the object (F) passes the inspection position (11). A white-level calibrating plate (351) is moved to a position in front of the light-receiving window (313) and moved back so as to perform calibration. The deviation of the calibration curve is corrected by placing a quality reference material (361) in the same position and moving it back. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The plug-in socket connection which is secured against axial forces serves for the connection of the spigot end (3) of a pipe, which can be inserted, with radial play, into the socket end (2) of another pipe. Arranged in the socket end is a sealing ring (8) and a clamping ring (14) which is designed separately from said sealing ring and has a multiplicity of clamping segments (15) which are arranged at mutual spacing in the circumferential direction and which exhibit a convex outer surface (17) and, on their inner surface (18), in each case one toothing arrangement (19), said toothing arrangements, when axial forces arrive, by interaction of the convex outer surface (17) with an inner surface (18), tapering conically to the end, of the pipe socket, press radially against the spigot end (3). Integrally formed on the clamping ring (14) is a retaining part (20) which can be fixed at the socket end, bears the clamping ring and consists of elastomer. A design which permits satisfactory gripping is achieved if the annular-disc-shaped portion (23), which comes to bear on the socket end surface (22), is designed in a reinforced manner, belongs to the retaining part and from which there extends the connecting portion (24) leading to the clamping ring (14), is assigned a steel ring (28) which increases the bending strength thereof. In particular in the case of relatively large nominal widths, it is expedient if the clamping ring (14) is provided with a circumferential cutout for receiving a flexurally rigid supporting ring (31) consisting preferably of steel. <IMAGE>

Granted: 2004-07-15
Abstract: In the primal cutting-up of half carcasses of animals (12), vision systems are known whereby the determination of one or more fix points on the carcasses takes place, and where on the basis of the position of these points a visualisation of the ideal cut line is effected. But the primal cutting-up of carcasses (12) has hitherto been carried out with manually-operated saws on the basis of operator evaluation. However, the use of manually-operated saws involves the possibility of deviations in relation to the ideal cut line, and the manual work is very monotonous and fatiguing for the operators.There is thus disclosed a laying-down module (2) and a vision-based system for automatic primal cutting-up of half carcasses, comprising a laying-down module with a laying-down conveyor (18), and a laying-down and angle-positioning module (6) with sideways displaceable conveyors for positioning of a relevant carcass (12) for sawing-up in a subsequent saw module (8), and a method for the execution of automatic primal cutting-up of meat items, namely half carcasses of animals.

Title: System and method to determine the location and orientation of an indwelling medical device
Inventor: HAYNOR DAVID R
IPC: A61B5/06
Filed: 1998-05-08
Granted: 2001-02-01
Abstract: A device to detect the location of a magnet coupled to an indwelling medical device within a patient uses three or more sets of magnetic sensors each having sensor elements arranged in a known fashion. Each sensor element senses the magnetic field strength generated by the magnet and provides data indicative of the direction of the magnet in a three-dimensional space. The device uses fundamental equations for electricity and magnetism that relate measured magnetic field strength and magnetic field gradient to the location and strength of a magnetic dipole. The device uses an iterative process to determine the actual location and orientation of the magnet. An initial estimate of the location and orientation of the magnet results in the generation of predicted magnetic field values. The predicted magnetic field values are compared with the actual measured values provided by the magnetic sensors. Based on the difference between the predicted values and the measured values, the device estimates a new location of the magnet and calculates new predicted magnetic field strength values. The iteration process continues until the predicted values match the measured values within a desired degree of tolerance. At that point, the estimated location matches the actual location within a predetermined degree of tolerance. A two-dimensional display provides an indication of the location of the magnet with respect to the housing of the detector. A depth indicator portion of the display can be used to provide a relative or absolute indication of the depth of the magnet within the patient. <IMAGE>
