Abstract: A batch mixer comprises a mixing drum rotatable about a longitudinal axis extending between an inlet opening and a discharge opening at opposing ends of the drum. Mixing members and transfer members supported in the drum mix the material when rotated in a first direction and transfer the material to the discharge opening when rotated in an opposing direction. An inlet chute for charging the drum and a discharge chute for emptying the drum communicate with the inlet opening and the discharge opening respectively. The inlet chute pivots relative to the drum about a vertical axis from a charging position in communication with the inlet opening to an access position in which the inlet opening is unobstructed by the inlet chute.  The inlet end wall locating the inlet opening therein is removable for greater access.

Title: Chemical induction of quiescence in bacteria using indole compounds
Inventor: SUMMERS DAVID KEITH
IPC: C12N15/67
Filed: 2006-12-18
Granted: 2014-11-04
Abstract: Quiescence is induced in cells using indole compounds. Expression continues from extra-chromosomal vectors within the cells during quiescence, while chromosomal expression is suppressed. The cells may be used as factories for the production of large amounts of polypeptides of interest, particularly polypeptides which normally have an adverse effect on cell viability or growth. Expression from an extra-chromosomal vector of interest may be monitored, in view of the reduced background expression from the chromosome. Vector copy number may be amplified. Cell cycles may be synchronised.

Abstract: A facility for ranking in a result set is described. The facility establishes a system of ratings for combinations of a web page with the query term that reflect the level of relevance of the web page to the query term. In response to each of a number of content interactions performed by users, each with respect to a result corresponding to a web page included in a result set that was generated in response to a query comprising a set of one or more query terms, the facility adjusts a rating score for each combination of the web page and a query term among the set of query terms. For each of a number of web pages included as results in a distinguished result set produced in response to a distinguished query comprising a set of distinguished query terms, the facility (1) selects established and adjusted reading scores for each combination of the web page and a query term among the distinguished set of query terms, and (2) determines a ranking score for the result in the distinguished result set by combining the selected reading scores.
Patent CA-2656867-C (CA)

IPC: H04N7/15
Filed: 2007-04-24
Granted: 2013-01-08
Abstract: According to the present invention, multiple parametrically encoded audio signals can be efficiently combined using an audio signal generator (100), which generates an audio output signal (120) by combining the down-mix channels (110a, 112a) and the associated parameters (110b, 112b) of the audio signals directly within the parameter domain, i.e. without reconstructing or decoding the individual input audio signals prior to the generation of the audio output signal (120). This is achieved by direct mixing of the associated down-mix channels (110a, 112a) of the individual input signals. It is one key feature of the present invention that the combination of the down-mix channels (110a, 112a) is achieved by simple, computationally inexpensive arithmetic operations.

Abstract: A spray gun (1) has a fluid reservoir (11) which contains a removable liner (13). The liner (13), which may be thermo/vacuum-formed from a plastics material, is a close fit within the interior of the reservoir and collapses as fluid is withdrawn from within the liner during operation of the gun. Preferably, the liner has a comparatively-rigid base and is capable of standing, unsupported, outside the reservoir. The side walls of the liner are preferably thin in comparison to the base and can be collapsed for disposal of the liner. The reservoir (11) has a removable lid (15) and is capable of standing, inverted, on its own so that it can be filled with fluid. The lid (15) also functions to secure the liner (13) in the reservoir and, at the end of a spraying operation, the lid (15) and the liner (13) are removed together from the reservoir (11) and discarded, thereby simplifying the cleaning of the spray gun.

Abstract: Un analyseur de masse à piège d'ions double comporte des premier et second pièges à ions bidimensionnels positionnés à proximité l'un de l'autre et respectivement maintenus à des pressions respectivement haute et basse. Des fonctions favorisant une haute pression (refroidissement et fragmentation) peuvent être réalisées dans le premier piège ; des fonctions favorisant une basse pression (isolement et balayage analytique) peuvent être effectuées dans le second piège. Des ions peuvent être transférés entre le premier et le second piège par l'intermédiaire d'une lentille à plaque munis d'une petite ouverture qui présente une restriction au pompage et permet de maintenir différentes pressions dans les deux pièges. L'environnement de pression différentielle de l'analyseur de masse à piège d'ions double facilite l'utilisation de modes de balayage analytique haute résolution sans sacrifier la capture d'ions ni les rendements de fragmentation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for passively determining the trajectory of at least one marine animal emitting sound signals in the form of series of clicks, in particular at least one cetacean. According to the invention, during successive processing time windows, raw analog signals are acquired, said signals originating from a plurality of H hydrophones disposed in the marine environment, and, subsequently, said raw analog data are converted into digital data by means of sampling at a sampling frequency Fe. The method is characterised in that it also includes the following steps which are performed in real time, namely: (a) digital data filtering (13, 14) which eliminates spurious noises and keeps (15, 16) the data from among the digital data, which, for each pair of hydrophones and each processing window, correspond to potential values for the time-difference of arrival of the sound signals in order to provide two different hydrophones, said potential values being recorded as TDOA; (b) for each hydrophone pair, checking (17) the consistency of the TDOAs obtained and keeping (18) a number, recorded as nbTDOA, of filtered and mutually-consistent TDOAs; and (c) on the basis of the filtered and mutually-consistent TDOAs (nbTDOA) determining the successive instantaneous positions of the click sources by means of nonlinear regression (19) and deducing (20) the trajectory of said at least one marine animal in the environment thereof in real time.
