Abstract: A steering connection assembly that interconnects an implement train comprising first and second detachable implements towed by a draw bar of a tow vehicle is provided. The first implement is pivotally attached at the draw bar so as to rotate about a first vertical axis, and the second implement is pivotally attached to the first implement.  The steering connection assembly includes a drive linkage pivotally connected at a draw bar so as to rotate about a second vertical axis. A steering linkage interconnects a rearward end of the drive linkage to a wheel assembly in support of the frame of the second towed implement. In response to a turn of the tow vehicle, a hitch coupling member generates a turn signal communicated via the drive linkage so as to cause the steering linkage to steer the wheel assembly of the second implement in a direction opposite a turn direction of the tow vehicle.

Filed: 2005-07-06
Abstract: A method is disclosed for amplifying a light pulse (S) in an optical fiber (1), wherein a Raman pump signal (RPS) having a lower wavelength than the light pulse (S) is transmitted at a selected interval of time after the light pulse (S) into an end (IA) of an optical fiber(l), with dispersion such that the Raman pump signal (RPS) travels faster through the fiber(1) than the light pulse(S) and reaches and enhances the light pulse (S) after the light pulse has travelled along a selected distance (dl) through the fiber, wherein the Raman pump signal (RPS) is ramped in a substantially linear manner such that the amplification increases with the distance along which the light pulse has travelled along the length of the fiber from Al= S1+RPSmin at a distance dl to A2=S+RPSmax at a distance d2 >dl from said end (lA) of the fiber 1 and such that the Raman gain increase is substantially similar to the fiber losses of the amplified signal. The use of a ramped Raman pump signal (RSP) mitigates Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in the fiber (1) and extends the operational range of a fiber optical sensing system.

Abstract: A compression sleeve (10) has twelve inflatable cells (13) to be wrapped around a limb. The cells (13) are inflated to set pressures and duration by a fluid source. The cells (13) are numbered (1) to (12), with (1) being at the toe, or the wrist, and (12) being at the thigh, or the shoulder. In use, the inflation sequence begins with a peristaltic wave at cell 1 and finishes at cell (12). Then cell (12) is inflated and deflated (5) times, then cell (11) is inflated and deflated (5) times in the same way as cell (12), followed by a single peristaltic wave beginning at cell (12) to cell (11). This compression regime is repeated along the compression sleeve until cell (1) is inflated and deflated (5) times followed by a peristaltic wave from cell (1) to cell (12).  The described compression sequence is particularly useful for lymphatic drainage.

Patent CA-2597657-A1 (CA)
Title: Selection probe amplification
Inventor: FU GLENN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2006-01-25
Abstract: Multiple unique selection probes are provided in a single medium. Each selection probe has a sequence that is complementary to a unique target sequence that may be present in a sample under consideration. For example, each selection probe may be complementary to a sequence that includes one of the SNPs used to genotype an organism. Single-stranded selection probes anneal or hybridize with sample sequences having the unique target sequences specified by the selection probe sequences. Sequences from the sample that do not anneal or hybridize with the selection probes are separated from the bound sequences by an appropriate technique. The bound sequences can then be freed to provide a mixture of isolated target sequences, which can be used as needed for the application at hand.
