Title: Modular conveyor belt with non-circular hinge pin
Inventor: LAPEYRE ROBERT S
IPC: B65G17/38
Filed: 2002-08-21
Granted: 2008-05-29
Abstract: A modular conveyor belt forming a hinge between consecutive belt rows ( 14 A-C) hingedly connected by a noncircular hinge pin ( 34 ). Hinge eyes ( 28 ) along the forward and rearward ends of each row ( 14 A-C) of belt modules include aligned openings for the hinge pins ( 34 ). The belt rows ( 14 A-C) are arranged end-to-end with the hinge eyes ( 28 ) of adjacent rows interleaved. In one version, the hinge pins ( 34 ) are inserted in the passageway formed by the aligned openings of the interleaved hinge eyes. The hinge pins ( 34 ) include first ( 40 ) and second ( 41 ) hinge pin members, such as flat strips. The openings in the hinge eyes ( 28 ) are characterized by a narrow slotted portion ( 32 ) for restraining the first hinge pin member ( 40 ) against rotation within the slotted portion and a wider sector-shaped portion ( 33 ) that allows the second hinge pin member ( 41 ) to rotate relative to the first hinge pin member ( 40 ). In another version, a single non-circular hinge pin having a convex rocker face along one side is received in aligned openings in the interleaved sets of hinge eyes of consecutive rows. The convex rocker faces rock on convex rocker surfaces bounding the second aligned openings as the belt articulates at the hinge formed at the hinge pin.

Title: Compositions and methods for the treatment of tumor
Inventor: PITTI ROBERT M
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2003-02-25
Granted: 2006-04-13
Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment.  The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.

Title: Bicycle saddle
Inventor: RIONDATO FRANCESCO
IPC: B62J1/00
Filed: 2005-07-28
Granted: 2010-10-21
Abstract: This relates to a bicycle saddle of the type that presents two identical portions (1, 1′) longitudinally symmetrical. Thanks to its special conformation, said saddle permits the cyclist to avoid the occurrence of pathologies normally caused by the use of a racing saddle of commonly known types, eliminating the crushing of the vascular structure of the perineum, as well as the testicles of male cyclists and the clitoris of female cyclists. The special geometry permits a pedaling action without causing friction of the thigh muscles, in particular the delicate and adducent muscles.

Title: Short message conversion between different formats for wireless communication systems
Inventor: QU HAI
IPC: H04W4/12
Filed: 2007-08-07
Granted: 2010-02-04
Abstract: Techniques for converting short messages between different formats (e.g., from GSM SMS to CDMA SMS) such that pertinent control information is retained without changing the fundamental structure of these message formats. A new value is defined for the Msg Encoding field in the User Data subparameter of the CDMA SMS message to indicate that the content of this message is an encapsulated GSM SMS message. The Message Type field in the User Data subparameter may be used to carry data coding scheme information for the encapsulated GSM SMS message. At a recipient mobile station, the value in the Msg Encoding field is checked to determine whether or not the CDMA SMS message includes an encapsulated GSM SMS message. If the answer is yes, then the user data in the CHARi fields of the CDMA SMS message is processed based on the data coding scheme information from the Message Type field.

Title: A system and a method for optimising and providing power to a core of a valve
Inventor: CHRISTIANSEN TOM NOHR
IPC: G05B19/042
Filed: 2007-02-27
Granted: 2011-01-20
Abstract: A system for optimising the power to a core of a valve in a position of the valve comprises at least one valve and a controller unit. The at least one valve comprises a core operable between a first position and a second position, and the controller unit defines an inrush DC voltage level signal for forcing the core into the second position, and further defines a hold DC voltage level signal for retaining the core in the second position. The controller unit, in the first position of the core, provides a valve control signal with the hold DC voltage level and measures a first self inductance representing the core in the first position. The controller unit, in the first position of the core, provides the valve control signal with the inrush DC voltage level signal for forcing the core from the first position to the second position, and subsequently the controller unit provides the valve control signal with the hold DC voltage level for retaining the core in the second position, and the controller unit measures, in the second position of the core, a second self inductance representing the core in the second position. The controller unit, in the second position of the core, while providing the valve control signal with the hold DC voltage level gradually decreases the hold DC voltage level and measures a third self inductance representing the actual physical position of the core. The controller unit determines on basis of the first or second self inductance in comparison with the third self inductance whether the core is in the first or second position.

Title: Pneumatic timer for delaying the application of an emergency braking pressure
Inventor: SCHARPF ROBERT N
IPC: B60T8/32
Filed: 2007-03-13
Granted: 2012-04-26
Abstract: A pneumatic emergency brake release timer comprises a high capacity transfer valve, a timing reservoir in communication with the pilot port of the high capacity transfer valve (50), the check valve (64) and choke circuit (62) providing parallel connections between the main source of pressure and the reservoir through a check valve and opposite flow through a dissipating choke. A pneumatic relay valve controls the pressure to the brake cylinders. The high capacity transfer valve (50) can select a pilot pressure (48) to the pneumatic relay valve from two different pressure sources : a controlled pressure and an emergency pressure. Normally a controlled pressure is selected, e.g. a modulated pressure for wheel slip control. In the case of emergency braking, the timing reservoir (54) maintains the high capacity transfer valve (50) during a present time in a position wherein the controlled pressure is still selected. Thereafter, the emergency pressure is selected, thereby bypassing the pressure controller (44). The advantage is that wheel slip control is still possible during emergency braking for a present time, using pneumatic elements only.

Inventor: BRIGHT KEVIN PHILIP
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2007-10-02
Granted: 2014-06-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a system, method and a set of computer executable instructions configured to control an animal's access to a channel leading to a remote resource. The process of the invention is instigated through retrieving a specific animal record based on the output of an identification means. A control signal is then issued by the invention to an animal selection system to allow the animal access to the remote resource if the retrieved animal selection record indicates priority animal status. Additional control logic may also be employed after the assessment of animal status to allow access to the remote resource to non-priority status animals.
