Title: Locking shelf support
Inventor: MARSH THOMAS R
IPC: A47B96/02
Filed: 1999-11-04
Abstract: A shelf support for locking a shelf edge portion in place when a shelf is positioned between opposing wall members in a cabinet or the like comprises a body member having a lower body portion, a middle body portion, and an upper body portion. The lower body portion has a front face and a back face. A shelf flange is connected to the lower body portion front face, and a stem is connected to the lower body portion back face. The middle body portion is connected to the lower body portion at a first resilient junction, with the middle body portion extending at an obtuse angle away from the lower body portion. The upper body portion is connected to the middle body portion at a second resilient junction, with the upper body portion having an inner opening formed therein, with the inner opening extending downward towards the middle body portion. The upper body portion also has a top edge portion formed thereon, with a substantially flat finger connected to the top edge portion at a third resilient junction, the finger extending downward toward the middle body portion. The finger is in a position projecting away from the upper body portion. The finger has a lower shelf retaining edge and the finger is dimensioned to be collapsibly received within the inner opening. The middle body portion and the upper body portion together form an obtuse angle at the second resilient junction and tend to flatten and increase that angle as a shelf edge portion is moved over the upper body portion towards the flange. In contrast, the finger and the upper body portion together forming an acute angle at the third resilient junction and tend to flatten and decrease that angle as a shelf edge portion is moved over the upper body portion towards the flange. As a result, when a shelf edge portion is moved over the upper body portion and contacts the flange, the finger returns to the aforesaid position projecting away from said upper body portion, the retaining edge engages the shelf end portion, and the shelf is locked in place between the retaining edge and the flange.

Title: Optimization of a recipe for a spatial environment
Inventor: HOSKINSON REED L
IPC: A01C15/00
Filed: 1999-03-09
Abstract: Systems and method are provided to optimize a recipe for a spatial environment. The method generally comprisess the steps of generating, analyzing a spatial database and devising a recipe. Generation of the spatial database involves the generation of both historic statements (110) and facts gathered from historic (112), present and future predicted events (114). Once the spatial database is generated, the facts are iteratively analyzed against the current statements (104) to see if they can or cannot be executed. If the facts can be executed, the facts are maintained as stored facts and analyzed for their economic feasibility. The determination of economic feasibility for the stored facts is accomplished by a iterative process similar to the determination of whether the facts can be executed. Once economic feasibility is determined, the recipe is devised. The method is optionally applied to the agricultural field for devising the fertilizer recipe, the irrigation recipe, and the split recipe.

Title: Systeme et procede de modelisation informatique d'objets 3d et d'images 2d par structures maillees incorporant des donnees non spatiales telles que la couleur ou la texture
Inventor: AGUERA-ARCAS BLAISE
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 1998-06-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de modélisation d'objets 3D et d'images 2D par structures maillées où des points de données combinent des données spatiales et des informations relatives à la surface telles que des données couleur ou texture. L'utilisation de points de données complexes (par exemple, X, Y, Z, R, G, B en 3D et x, y, R, G, B en 2D) permet au système de modélisation d'incorporer dans les mailles de la structure aussi bien des caractéristiques de spatialisation de l'objet ou de l'image, que des caractéristiques liées à la couleur ou à la surface. Les modèles d'objets 3D de la présente invention (tels que ceux créés par des systèmes de balayage laser) ne nécessitent pas de fichier texture distinct pour générer l'affichage ou effectuer d'autres manipulations d'objets. Dans l'un des exemples, les structures maillées de la présente invention contiennent assez d'informations relatives à la couleur pour que les triangles de la maille puissent être rendus par tout processeur acceptant l'interpolation linéaire ou bilinéaire, tel que le lissage de Gouraud (disponible dans de nombreux systèmes 3D et 21/2D). Pour les systèmes 2D (tels que les photographies numériques, les cadres image, les trames vidéo et autres images en mode point), les modèles en maille 2D créés selon la présente invention, qui remplacent les fichiers en mode point, présentent un taux de compression de données plus grand et une flexibilité de manipulation d'image accrue par rapport à ce que proposent les systèmes de compression actuels, tels que le JPEG. En outre, ce système de modélisation présente une capacité de résolution dynamique permettant d'ajouter ou de supprimer rapidement d'un modèle des détails de surface tels que couleur ou texture.

Title: Soliton pulse generator
Inventor: EVANS ALAN F
IPC: H04B10/25
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: A soliton pulse generator is formed by providing an input continuous wave, stimulating Brillouin scattering of an input wave having a frequency determined by the frequency of the input continuous wave to generate a backscattered wave, coupling a continuous wave having a frequency determined by the input continuous wave with the backscattered wave to generate a sinusoidal output signal, and then compressing the sinusoidal output to form a soliton pulse train. Because the wavelength shift of the backscattered wave is essentially independent of the input wavelength and power, coupling of the second wave and the backscatterred wave results in a highly stable and controllable sinusoidal output signal. A highly stable and controllable soliton pulse train is provided by compressing the sinusoidal signal with use of a dispersion decreasing fiber or with use of an alternative pulse compressing device.

Title: Reconfigurable air supply arrangement of an air-conditioning system for below-deck areas of a passenger aircraft
Inventor: SCHEFFLER HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: B64D13/00
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: The below-deck space of an aircraft may be selectively configured as a freight hold or alternatively as a passenger sleeping cabin space by arranging a sleeping cabin container therein. An air conditioning system for this below-deck space provides air in a supply air main line, which branches off to at least one supply air delivery line. A first flange is provided at the end of the supply air delivery line, and a seal collar seals the end relative to the freight hold wall. When a sleeping cabin container is to be arranged in the below-deck space, a flap door is pivoted into an open position, and the flange at the end of a ventilation duct of the sleeping cabin is connected directly to the flange. When the sleeping cabin container is removed from the freight hold, the flap door is pivoted into a closed position, in which it covers the mouth opening of the flange, and allows an air flow into the freight hold only through the smaller restricted cross-section of an air throughflow opening in the flap door. The air supply arrangement can be easily adjusted to meet the different air flow requirements of the sleeping cabin configuration and the freight hold configuration without requiring any recalibration of the air-conditioning system itself.
