Inventor: DINUNZIO ERNIE
IPC: B26D1/38
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for forming individual sheets having a folded edge portion from a length of supplied sheet material which may be used by hairstylists in hair colouring or tinting applications. The apparatus includes a folding assembly for forming the folded edge portion of the sheet by bending part of the sheet material back over itself, and a shearing assembly operable to sever individual sheets from a remainder of the supplied material. The folding assembly includes a support table and a pivotally movable folding arm. The pivotally moveable folding arm actuable to move about a pivot axis from a first inactivated position where the sheet material is movable substantially unhindered therepast, and a second folding position where the folding arm is pivoted to bend an edge portion of the sheet engaged thereby rearwardly. Preferably, the folding arm acts in conjunction with a guide bar which includes a support surface against which the bent portion of the sheet material is folded. The shearing; assembly includes a cutting blade which is movable to sever individual sheets having the desired length from a remaining portion of the infeed sheet material. Preferably, the cutting blade is mounted so as to extend radially from an at least partially a rotatable blade mount, wherein the rotation of the blade mount moves the cutting blade into shearing contact with the sheet. Most preferably the cutting blade is provided as part of a blade assembly which is rotatable about a blade rotation axis and with the cutting edge of the blade mounted in an orientation extending partially radially about the blade rotation axis.

Title: Electromagnetic borehole telemetry system incorporating a conductive borehole tubular
Inventor: WEISBECK DENIS
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: An electromagnetic borehole telemetry system for transmitting information between a borehole transceiver and a surface transceiver located at or near the surface of the earth. Tubulars, such as steel casing and liners, are typically set within the well borehole to stabilize the wall of the borehole and to assist in hydraulically isolating penetrated formations. The invention utilizes these tubulars cooperating with one or more signal wires to reduce attenuation and noise in signals transmitted between the borehole and surface transceivers. The one or more signal wires are typically disposed within an annulus formed by the borehole wall and the outside surface of the casing. The one or more signal wires are connected at one end to one or more connection terminals positioned preferably near the bottom a tubular string. Opposing ends of the one or more signal wires are connected to one or more terminals of the surface transceiver. By minimizing signal attenuation and noise, the telemetry system can be effectively used at greater depths in the borehole. The telemetry system can be embodied in a measurement-while-drilling system, a formation testing system, a production monitoring system and other system requiring communication between a downhole assembly and the surface of the earth.

Title: Continuous enzymatic precooking for the production of an instant corn flour for snack and tortilla
Inventor: RUBIO FELIPE A
IPC: A23L7/104
Filed: 2003-08-28
Abstract: Precooked and partially debranned corn flour is continuously produced by an enzymatic precooking using a commercial endoxylanase and endoamylase blend a s a processing aid. The low-temperature and near neutral-pH precooking with an endoxylanase and endoamylase solution effects a partial hydrolysis of bran a nd starchy cell-walls with a controlled gelatinization and reduced conditioning and corn solid loss in wastewater. Moisture content is then stabilized after washing, followed by milling and drying at a high temperature for a short ti me to produce a partial gelatinization in the ground kernel, cooling and furthe r drying the dried~milled particle. A fine particle size or flour is separated and recovered from the coarser particle which is also segregated to isolate a light bran fraction for integral flour or feed use, remilling and sieving th e coarser particle to produce an instant corn flour for snack chip and corn- based food, and admixing the fine particle with lime to obtain a masa flour for tortillas and the like.

Title: L'essuie-miroir
Inventor: NAULT JESSIE
IPC: B60S1/02
Filed: 2005-03-02
Abstract: Dans le fonctionnement d'un essuie-glace, on sait que l'essuie-glace est attaché à une tige de métal qui elle est rattachée à un moteur spécifique qui effectue une rotation de 180 degré. Dans la présente invention, il s'agit d'un essuie-glace pour miroirs latérals de camions lourds. Avec un actuateur pneumatique, vissé derrière le miroir, le petit essuie- glace adapté est soudé à une bague sur le côté de l'actuateur. Cette bague avec la pression d'air, fait un mouvement de va et viens faisant ainsi monter et descendre l'essuie-glace qui est appuyé sur le miroir. Ceci permet aux conducteurs de nettoyer leurs miroirs de l'intérieur de leur cabine sans avoir à s'arrêter sur le bo rd des routes. Le miroir utilise aussi un système de lave-glace qui se met en marche de l'intérieur de camion. L'actuateur pneumatique utilise le réservoir d'air comprimé du camio n, comme source d'énergie. Il y a un tuyau spécifique qui est connecté au réservoir e t qui se rend directement à une valve placé dans le tableau de bord. Lorsque l'on ouvre la valve, l'air va jusqu'à l'actuateur avec un tuyau qui longe les supports des miroirs. En entrant dans l'actuateur, l'air enclenche un mouvement de va et viens en faisant une pression sur une bague. Celle-ci possède une partie à l'extérieur de l'actuateur où se trouve l'essuie- glace. Avec le mouvement, il monte et descend en nettoyant ainsi le miroir. Pour que le tout se nettoie bien, l'invention est munie d'un système de lave-glace. Un tuyau part du miroir, en longeant lui aussi les supports métalliques, puis entre dans la cabine et rejoint un petit moteur. Un autre tuyau quitte le moteur et y relie le réservoir à lave-glace. Pour faire fonctionner le moteur celui-ci possède deux fils électriques. Le fil rouge se rend à un interrupteur à poussoir situé dans le tableau de bord. Le fil bleu, lui, rejoint le négatif de la batterie de camion. L'interrupteur a lui aussi deux fil, le bleu se connecteur avec le rouge du moteur et le rouge va jusqu'au positif de la batterie. Le conducteu r n'aura qu'à appuyer sur l'interrupteur à poussoir pour faire gicler le lave-glace et ouvrir la valve pour nettoyer le miroir avec l'essuie-glace.

IPC: A01K5/01
Filed: 2005-04-19
Abstract: A feeder for piglets has a flat base tray resting on the floor surface with an outer wall on the base tray surrounding a central feed area of the base tray defined by an upstanding plastic tube. The piglet can step over the outer wall to locate its front feet inside to retain any dropped feed and reaches through holes in the tube. The tube forms a hopper and feed dispensing drop duct mounted on the tray at the central feed area with a mouth of the duct spaced from the tray by a distance to control the deposit of feed onto the tray within the tube. An agitator is operable by the piglets to prevent lodging of the feed in the duct or hopper.

Abstract: A method compensates for phase differences between sampled values of first and second AC waveforms. The method employs a phase angle compensation factor and sequentially samples a plurality of values of each of the waveforms. For a positive compensation factor, second sampled values are adjusted to correspond with first sampled values by employing, for a corresponding second sampled value, a preceding second sampled value plus the product of: (i) the compensation factor and (ii) the difference between the corresponding second sampled value and the preceding second sampled value. Alternatively, for a negative compensation factor, the second sampled values are adjusted by employing, for the corresponding second sampled value, the preceding second sampled value minus the product of: (i) the sum of one plus the compensation factor and (ii) the difference between the preceding second sampled value and the second sampled value preceding the preceding second sampled value.
