Title: Method and system for simultaneously imaging multiple views of a plant embryo
Inventor: HIRAHARA EDWIN
IPC: A01H4/00
Filed: 2004-06-17
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for simultaneously imaging multiple views of a plant embryo. First, the method provides a camera for receiving a first view of a plant embryo (e.g., the top view). Second, the method provides a first reflecting surface for receiving and reflecting a second view of the plant embryo (e.g., the side view) toward the camera. Thus, the method permits simultaneously imaging both the first and second views of the plant embryo. In one embodiment, the method further provides a second reflecting surface for receiving and reflecting a third view (e.g., the end view) of the plant embryo toward the camera, so that the camera can simultaneously image the first, second, and third views of the plant embryo. The invention reduces the time required to obtain multiple views of an embryo, which can then be analyzed to classify the embryos according to their germination vigor.

Abstract: Method for constructing concrete shear core buildings wherein a steel erection structure is built having steel columns and beams. The steel erection structure is made from pre-assembled segments that include the steel reinforcing bar for the concrete shear core. A peripheral steel structure is also constructed and the steel floors are built, cooperatively supported by the steel erection structure and the peripheral structure. Forms are positioned generally about the steel reinforcing bars and at least a portion of the steel erection structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing a Na-acyl-L-arginine ester, derived from fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids, according to the following formula (I), where:X- is Br-, Cl-, or HSO4- R1: is linear alkyl chain from an saturated fatty acid, or hydroxy-acid from 8 to 14 atoms of carbon bonded to the .prop.- amino acid group through amidic bond. R2: is a linear or branched alkyl chain from 1 to 18 carbon atoms or aromatic. R3: is formula (II), where n can be from 0 to 4, from the appropriate organic acid and alcohol. The process is catalyzed by a hydrolase, more in particular a protease, the protease papain from <i>Carica papaya being highly suitable</i>.  In order for the esterification reaction to run as wanted, the process is performed in a low-water-content organic medium. When the highly suitable papain from Carica papaya is used, a water activity of between 0,03 and 0,5 is selected.

Abstract: A modular dock assembly has floats and connectors to hold them together. The floats are square blocks wider than deep. They are connected at their top and bottom corners by connector plates and bolts. These plates have apertures through which bolts pass through to engage nuts embedded in the block tap and bottom corners. The plate may have a central aperture to receive a cover to provide a continuous surface. Alternatively the plate may incorporate a top cover. A connector can clamp four floats together fairly rigidly. The apertures can be slots, which make for ease of assembly. Both covers and blocks have nonslip surfaces. The resulting float can be used to form a floating dock, which is sufficiently rigid for general use. The floats are rotationally molded from suitable plastic.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cursive script recognition employs an intermediate cursive words description language constructed of elements in the form of metastrokes wherein each of the metastrokes is a member of a metric space, the metric space being expressible as a matrix of likelihood of matching between input metastrokes and predefined metastrokes forming a vocabulary. Typically, a minimum of twenty metastrokes is used to form the vocabulary or set of allowable stroke elemental shapes, although as many as seventy may be used, with a correlation factor or measurement of similarity being defined between strings of metastrokes. Techniques for interpreting the metastrokes as words include substituting, adding, and deleting metastrokes in an input sequence, measuring similarity and comparing with entries in a dictionary of words constructed of metastroke sequences and variants of metastroke sequences.      Weighting of similarity may include penalties for lack of similarity.

Granted: 2011-04-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing impurities from waste water by electroflotation. The waste water to be cleaned is conducted through an electrolytic cell. Electrolysis is performed between two electrodes (1, 2) of different electronegativities, such that the more electronegative electrode (1), which is non-wearing in a cleaning process, is used for producing hydrogen gas and hydroxyl ions from water. The less electronegative electrode (2), which is an active, wearing electrode in a cleaning process, is used for producing metal ions in a solution to be cleaned. In addition to this basic reaction, a desired oxidation-reduction reaction is initiated in the cell in a strictly controlled electric field for removing one or more designated impurities from cleaned water.
