Title: Cargo load supporting air bag having inflation indicating means, and method of determining proper inflation for spaced loads
Inventor: HOWLETT JOHN JR
IPC: B60P7/06
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: An air bag, and a method of using the same, for indicating proper inflation and over-inflation of the air bag when the air bag is used within a void defined between adjacent cargo loads. In accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, a plurality of horizontally disposed, vertically spaced printed lines are provided upon only one side of the inflatable air bag and extend from a side edge portion of the air bag toward a central position of the side of the air bag for a predetermined distance. When the bag is inflated, as long as the lines are visible, the bag is properly inflated. If terminal end portions of the bag become visible, the air bag is over-inflated. In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, a single vertical line is disposed upon only one side of the inflatable bag and is located a predetermined distance from the side edge portion of the bag which corresponds to the disposition of the terminal end portions of the horizontal lines of the first embodiment. When the bag is inflated, as long as the vertical line is not visible, the bag is properly inflated, whereas if the vertical line becomes visible, the bag is over-inflated.

Title: Methods and/or systems for accessing information
Inventor: DAVIES NICHOLAS JOHN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1996-01-23
Abstract: A system for accessing information stored in a distributed information database provides a community of intelligent software agents (105). Each agent (105) can be built as an extension of a known viewer (400) for a distributed information system such as the Internet WorldWide Web (W3). The agent (105) is effectively integrated with the viewer (400) and can extract pages by means of the viewer (400) for storage in an intelligent page store. The text from the information system is abstracted and is stored with additional information, optionally selected by the user. The agent-based access system uses keyword sets to locate information of interest to a user, together with user profiles such that pages being stored by one user can be notified to another whose profile indicates potential interest.  The keyword sets can be extended by use of a thesaurus.

Title: Method to maximally utilize the loading capacity of an individual wagon and the train when loading with bulk material
Inventor: MANSTR M HILDING
IPC: B65G67/22
Filed: 1996-01-09
Abstract: A method of utilizing the loading capacity of a wagon and a wagon train to a maximum when loading with pourable material, particularly bulk material, from a silo (1) with the aid of a raisable and lowerable delivery chute (6) having an outlet opening, down into a wagon (2) moving beneath the chute (6). The by-passing wagon (2) to be filled is weighed (10) and its empty weight registered. The method is characterized by registering the type of by-passing wagon (2) to be filled and by feeding to a computer registered data representing the weight of an empty wagon and the type of wagon concerned. This data, in the form of signals, is fed into the computer and the computer functions to move the outlet opening of the chute (6) to a height above the bottom (16) of the wagon in accord with the type of wagon (2) concerned on the basis of said data and the density of the bulk material through the medium of manoeuvering devices (9, 9'), wherein the height at which the chute outlet opening is located above the bottom (6) determines the volume of bulk material that corresponds to the maximum permitted total weight of this individual wagon.

Abstract: A cargo strap buckle comprises two sets of pins arranged between opposing plates. One set of pins is fixed to the plates and positioned between the other set of pins. The pins of the other set are separable or capable of disengagement from the plates or buckle to facilitate looping a cargo strap around the pins. In one mode, one pin can be totally disengaged with one pin only being partially disengaged. In another mode, both pins can be partially disengaged and one or both pins can also be longitudinally adjustable with respect to the plates. In one use, the cargo strap is first fed between the fixed pins and the pins are separated from the plates to facilitates strap attachment. In another use, when one or both pins are not totally removable from the buckle, the pin or pins is moved with respect to the plates for strap attachment. In either mode, the strap can then be tensioned for securing cargo or the like. Theseparable pins minimize strap waste by eliminating strap cutting for strap attachment or removal.

IPC: H04L29/00
Filed: 1996-10-11
Abstract: A coding system for error protecting both insignificant and significant symbols of a digital message to be transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver of a digital system. Error protection for both insignificant and significant symbols is provided by coding at the transmitter both significant and insignificant symbols of message blocks forming the digital message. Unequal error protection is provided to the significant symbols by puncturing a selected number of insignificant symbols of each codeword of the coded signal. At the receiver, a correction determination is made for each received codeword as to whether the erasures and errors of the received codeword are correctable. The correction determination is a function of the number of errors, number of erasures, and the minimum distance of the code. Based on this correction determination, the received codeword is depunctured and coded. Preferably, depuncturing is carried out using a Reed-Solomon-like Berlekamp decodable code in which the punctured symbols are regarded as erasures. Then, the depunctured message is decoded by sequence estimation Viterbi-like decoding.

Abstract: A mitral valve is removed from a pig heart with the annulus, leaflets, chordae tendineae and papillary heads intact. The porcine mitral valve is fixed. A  covering material is attached to the papillary heads around the chordae tendineae. A sewing tube of a flexible material is attached to each of the papillary heads by sutures that extend through the covering material. The sewing tube extends away from the porcine mitral valve's papillary head remnants. A covering material is attached to the annulus. A human heart with a diseased or damaged human mitral valve is imaged in vivo to size the length between the mitral valve annulus and the papillary heads. The porcine mitral valve annulus to sewing tube length is adjusted to match the like dimension in the human heart by trimming the sewing tube. The human heart is opened and the mitral valve excised. The human heart's cordae tendineae are removed leaving the papillary heads intact. The porcine mitral valve is placed in the left ventricle and the sewing tubes are sutured to arespective papillary head. The mitral valve is sutured in place in the annulus and the human heart is closed.
