Title: Soil analysis method
Inventor: SCOTT EDWARD DUNDAS
IPC: G01N27/26
Filed: 2016-12-12
Abstract: A method for performing a soil analysis to determine quantities of one or more cations to be included in a soil treatment plan for an agricultural soil is described by either directly measuring or indirectly estimating the Zeta Potential of a soil sample. From these measurements or estimates appropriate quantities of water soluble cations (Ca, Mg, K, Na) can be determined and the Zeta Potential can be adjusted to a desired value. A method of estimating Zeta Potential is obtained from measurements of soluble and exchangeable cation concentrations, which are combined to generate Cation Relationship of Plants and Soil Solution (CROPSS) Value, and then through the use of a mapping relationship between a CROPSS value and Zeta Potential for reference soils, the CROPSS value can be used to determine the appropriate soil treatment to be applied that will adjust the Zeta Potential to a desired range or value.

Title: A system and method for detecting a sway event in a trailer
Inventor: PIERONEK DONALD
IPC: B62D63/08
Filed: 2016-07-14
Abstract: - 38 A system and method of controlling a trailer pulled by a tow vehicle which comprises determining the sway of the trailer utilizing an electronic sensor (114) and independently applying the left trailer brakes and or right trailer brakes to different magnitudes of braking force to reduce the trailer sway and thus resulting in the trailer following directly behind the tow vehicle. By monitoring trailer sway and the consequences in trailer sway related to apply the left brakes and or right brakes at different magnitudes of braking force the system can either increase or decrease the applied magnitude of braking until the desired amount of sway reduction is achieved. To achieve independent control of the left brakes from the right brakes the device electronics separate the traditional braking signal from the tow vehicle into two independent braking signals connected separately to the left brakes and right brakes and then utilize the traditional braking signal to apply both the left brakes and right brakes whenever the traditional braking signal goes active and then utilizes trailer battery power to activate the left brakes and or right brakes independently when trailer sway is detected to thus reduce trailer sway.

Title: Tool and method for separating a femoral cup from an acetabular ball in an implanted hip prosthesis
Inventor: TERMANINI ZAFER
IPC: A61F2/32
Filed: 2016-07-15
Abstract: Surgical tools which are used to separate from one another a femoral cup and an acetabular ball in an implanted hip replacement prosthesis. At its distal end, elements of the surgical tool engage the femoral cup and the acetabular cup. When proximal handles of the tool are squeezed toward one another, the engagement elements move away from one another. Thus, a surgeon is able to separate the femoral cup and the acetabular ball from one another without pulling the acetabular cup away from the acetabulum or the femoral cup and/or femoral implant away from the femur, thereby accomplishing the separation without disrupting any bone ingrowth.

Title: Method and apparatus for lining the cathode of the electrolytic cell
Inventor: PROSHKIN ALEKSANDR VLADIMIROVICH
IPC: C25C3/08
Filed: 2017-01-20
Abstract: Abstract The invention relates to method and apparatus for lining the cathode of the electrolytic cell. The method comprises filling the cell's shell with powder ma terial, leveling it with a rack, covering the fill material with a dust-proof film, and compaction. Compaction is performed in two stages: preliminary static and final dynamic treatment by consequent movement of static and dynamic work tools of compaction along the longitudinal axis of the cathode of the electrolytic cell through a cushion, which is made of at least 2 layers: a lower layer, which prevents pushing powder material forward in the direction of travel, and an up per layer, which provides for a coupling between the cushion and the static work tool. Static treatment unit of the apparatus is designed in the form of a roller with a drive, is connected to a dynamic treatment unit with a vibratory exciter by means of elastic elements, providing for a simultaneous movement relative to both the horizontal and vertical axes of the roller. The invention helps slow down the rate of penetration of molten fluoride salts into the cathode thermal insulation and increase the operating life of the cell. Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 2
