Title: Structure for loading chemicals into solution tanks
Inventor: KLEMME KENT ALVIN
IPC: A01M7/00
Filed: 2003-08-14
Abstract: A chemical loading system includes a venturi located at the top of the solution tank to reduce the fluid mass that has to be lifted into the tank. An anti- bridging nozzle at the outlet of the educator hopper assures that material is pushed into the vacuum created by the venturi. to reduce air space in the granular material and increase pull by the venturi vacuum, fluid is directed to the material through the anti-bridging nozzle and through a rinse ring around the top of the hopper. The rinse ring, also used to rinse the hopper after loading the material and provide structural rigidity, includes a rolled edge at the top of the hopper walls with notches in the edge of the ring to provide improved placement of rinsing solution.

Title: Method and system for correcting for curvature in determining the trajectory of a projectile
Inventor: MCNELIS NIALL B
IPC: G01S5/20
Filed: 2002-04-03
Abstract: Given a trajectory and unit pointing vectors determined based on a planar or other approximation of a shock wave from a projectile, the times that sensor elements(60, 61, 62) should have detected a shock wave based on the conical geometry of the shock wave are calculated. A difference between the calculated times and the actual times measured at the sensor elements (60, 61, 62) may be minimized by perturbing the unit vector.. The minimization may be performed by perturbing the unit vectors. When the perturbation of the unit vectors results in an acceptable difference between the calculated times and the actual times measured, an accurate trajectory of the projectile is generated from the perturbed unit pointing vectors.

Patent CA-2446993-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DE SANTIS STEPHEN A
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: The invention is directed biopsy site markers and methods of marking a biopsy site, so that the location of the biopsy cavity is readily visible by conventional imaging methods, particularly by ultrasonic imaging. The biopsy site markers of the invention have high ultrasound reflectivity, presenting a substantial acoustic signature from a small marker, so as to avoid obscuring diagnostic tissue features in subsequent imaging studies, and can be readily distinguished from biological features. The several disclosed embodiments of the biopsy site marker of the invention have a high contrast of acoustic impedance as placed in a tissue site, so as to efficiently reflect and scatter ultrasonic energy, and preferably include gas-filled internal pores. The markers may have a non-uniform surface contour, such as a porous, irregular, frosted, faceted, multi-planar or lobulate surface, to enhance the acoustic signature. The markers have a characteristic form which is recognizably artificial during medical imaging.

Title: Process for the hydrogenation of aromatics
Inventor: LEVIVELD ROBERTUS GERARDUS
IPC: B01J23/44
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process for effecting aromatics hydrogenation which process comprises contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock which contains 10-80 vol.% of aromatics in the presence of a hydrogen-containing gas with a catalyst which comprises hydrogenation metals on a carrier. Wherein (i) the hydrogenation metals comprise a combination of platinum and palladium, and (ii) the carrier comprises silica-alumina dispersed in an alumina binder, wherein the alumina binder is present in an amount of 5-50 wt.%, based on the total weight of the silica-alumina and alumina binder present in the carrier, and wherein the silica-alumina comprises 5-50 wt.% of alumina, based on the weight of the silica-alumina. The use of a catalyst comprising platinum and palladium on a carrier comprising silica-alumina and 5-50 wt.% of an alumina binder, the silica-alumina comprising 5-50 wt.% of alumina, based on the weight of the silica-alumina, leads to an increased aromatics hydrogenation as compared to a catalyst containing only platinum as hydrogenation metal, and as compared to a catalyst containing more than 50 wt.% of an alumina binder and/or more than 50 wt.% of alumina in the silica-alumina contained in the carrier.

Filed: 2003-03-26
Abstract: This invention is about a novel estimation technique for generating a predistortion function to compensate for the AM-AM and AM-PM non-linear conversion distortions of non-linear power amplifiers or non-linear circuits . Based on the cumulative type of power amplifier output envelope, a non- parametric baseband predistortion function is derived. The non-parametric approach avoids any model mismatch. In addition, the technique does not need to demodulate the input signal. Furthermore, it minimizes the effect of the power amplifier non-linearity and significantly improves the system performa nce

Inventor: BERNA JIM J
IPC: E01B9/12
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: A two-piece locking fastener which includes a first shaft having a head with a chamfered opening leading into a key way which extends part way down one side of the shaft having an outward taper towards the bottom of the key way, A second shaft is also provided which fits into said vertical key way, preferably having a tapered blunt end at the bottom, which corresponds to the tapered bottom of the key way of the first shaft. Both the key way and the second shaft are specially shaped for proper orientation of the second shaft within the key way. After the first shaft is driven into a medium, the second shaft (which is longer than the groove) is inserted into the key way and then driven downward such that the bottom of the second shaft protrudes outward into the medium at a different angle than the first shaft. One or more friction wedges on the sides of the second shaft cut into the sides of the vertical key way as the second shaft is driven downward, causing firm interengagement between the second shaft and the vertical groove, This interaction helps lock the two shafts together and firmly in place in the medium. Several alternative embodiments are available including rounded and squared spikes, nails, and screws.
