Abstract: Language translation is accomplished by representing natural-language sentences in accordance with a constrained grammar and vocabulary structured to permit direct substitution of linguistic units in one language for corresponding linguistic units in another language. Preferably, the vocabulary is represented in a series of physically or logically distinct databases, each containing entries representing a form class as defined in the grammar. Translation involves direct lookup between the entries of a reference sentence and the corresponding entries in one or more target languages.
Patent CA-2270569-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEONARD DANIEL J
IPC: F16F9/05
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: An air actuator has a rigid piston at one end and a rigid housing and end cap at the other end with an intervening elastomeric flexible sleeve extending therebetween which forms a fluid pressure chamber. The rigid piston, elastomeric flexible sleeve, and rigid housing are all injection or blow molded as one integral piece of preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, while the end cap is injection or blow molded as a second integral piece of preferably a thermoplastic elastomer that is thereafter welded to the rigid housing to define an internal chamber that is pressurizable. The first piece consisting of the piston, flexible membrane and housing, is configured such that the walls of the housing and piston are thick and rigid while the walls of the flexible membrane are thin and thus flexible, thereby allowing the membrane to roll and bend such that the piston may axially move in relation to the housing.

Title: Electric circuit actuating mechanism
Inventor: REITER JOHN P
IPC: H01H3/02
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: A mechanism (10) for actuating an electric circuit is disclosed including a cover (124) having a front wall including a broad surface and movably mounted by pins (126) extending through apertures (108) formed in a mount (90, 90') of a housing (12, 12'), with the cover (124) being biased by springs (130) located on the pins (126).      Tongues (136) of the cover (124) engage the legs (118) of first and second actuating arms (112. 114) to pivot the arms (112. 114) to pivot an actuation lever (100). The lever (100) includes an actuation finger (104) which pushes against the toggle (38) of a switch(36) to de-energize the circuit. Thus. when any point of the cover (124) is pushed towards the mount (90, 90'), the switch (36) is moved to de-energize the circuit.      A switch lever (70) is pivotably mounted to the housing (12. 12') and is pivoted by a slideable actuator (42) to move the switch (36) to energize the electric circuit. The components of mechanism (10) can be easily assembled by snapping or sliding into place and by sandwiching together by a minimum number of fasteners.

Title: Compositions and methods for modulating gene expression in plants
Inventor: VANCE VICKI BOWMAN
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1999-06-23
Abstract: Compositions and methods for modulating gene expression in plants are provided. The methods comprise the use of a gene silencer (amplicon) in combination with an enhancer sequence (suppressor of co-suppression).  Amplicons comprise a targeting sequence corresponding to the gene of interest, the target gene. The amplicon will direct gene silencing against a sequence with homology to the targeting sequence, (the target sequence). The amplicon may optionally comprise a promoter and a sequence that corresponds to at least a part of a viral genome. Enhancers act to prevent post-transcriptional gene silencing and to increase the expression of a target gene. Generally, enhancers comprise proteins encoded by the viral genome that act to suppress gene silencing. In combination, the amplicon and suppressor sequences can be used to boost expression of target sequences in plants.      Transformed plants, plant cells, tissues, and seeds are provided. Such transformed plants, cells, tissues, and seeds exhibit an enhanced expression of target genes or sequences.      A variety of promoters may be used in the constructs of the invention depending on the desired outcome. Tissue-preferred promoters, inducible promoters, developmental promoters, and the like can be used to direct expression of the target sequence in specific tissues and developmental stages of the plant.

Title: Improved fuel vaporizer method and apparatus
Inventor: FLEMING LEONARD WILLIAM
IPC: F02M31/18
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: A burner positioned within a heater has an uptube for the vaporisation of fuel within the uptube and below the outlet of the uptube. The uptube is surrounded by a casing and heat transfer members extend between the casing and the uptube to transfer heat from the combustion area outside the casing to the uptube. A series of additional heat transfer members are mounted on the outside of the casing at intermittent locations along the uptube. The members assist in gathering heat from the combustion area and transferring it to the casing, thence to the members between the casing and the uptube and thence to the uptube. Such heat transfer raises the temperature of the uptube and assists in vaporising the fuel within the uptube.

Title: Methods and apparatus for portable delivery of electrical physical therapy modalities to a patient
Inventor: GEIST STEVEN
IPC: A61N1/32
Filed: 1998-05-06
Abstract: Data defining electrical waveforms for physical therapy is created on a computer and stored in a removable machine-readable medium such as a CD-ROM or semiconductor memory module. The data is played back, for example on a portable CD-ROM player, to produce the physical therapy waveforms at any time and location convenient or desired by the patient. An interface circuit amplifies and conditions the resulting waveforms for appyling them to the skin of the patient via leads and electrodes. Since most therapies use waveforms within the audio frequency range, ubiquitous low-cost audio playback equipment can be used. Advantages of the invention are providing physical therapy at any location and at low cost, without requiring presence of a clinician or other health care professional on location.

Title: High pressure impeller with high efficiency for small volume flows for radial blowers of different size
Inventor: RECKERT LOTHAR
IPC: F04D29/30
Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: The invention relates to an impeller for radial blowers or fans, comprising a cover, a central bore for fixing to a driving shaft and a plurality of impeller blades passing in part spiral manner from the outside to the bore. Radial blowers with such impellers have an inadequate power or capacity for certain applications. In addition, they cannot be operated independently of the mains and are also overdimensioned. A high pressure impeller for small volume flows with a significantly increased efficiency and incorpor-ated into a miniaturized, mains-independent radial blower would be highly desirable. The latter is obtained in that the cross-section A k of the impeller blade channel in its last third up to the circumferential edge becomes smaller or remains constant, in that it is given a profile-like configuration corresponding to the impeller blade thickness, the blade entry angle .beta.1 having a value > 40°.

Abstract: A power distribution network including a voltage support transformer (1A,B) is disclosed which uses the fault current from a line (A or B) of the power distribution network in which a fault condition exists to support or stabilize the voltage across one or more other lines of the network connected to the same bus and seeing the same source impedance, to maintain the voltage in those lines substantially at the pre-fault levels. The voltage support or stabilization in the unfaulted line is based upon a current change due to the impedance change in the faulted line caused by the fault.
