IPC: A01C11/00
Filed: 2008-01-04
Abstract: Apparatus and method for the receiving/delivering of pot plants. For the receiving of pot plants from a floor, it is proposed to utilize a fork-like construction wherein each fork is provided with conveying means. These conveying means consist of one or two worms which protrude slightly beyond the free end of carriers carrying the conveying means and are configured so as to taper, for example conically, toward the end. This allows rows of pot plants to be received in a secure manner. Attaching preferably two worms, one above the other, positions the pot plants in a particularly stable manner, as a result of which crops having a high centre of gravity can easily be received without the risk of falling over. The apparatus allows the crops to be positioned next to one another or moved closer together during delivery. Preferably, the apparatus is displaceable, as a result of which, after the receiving of preferably a number of parallel rows of pot plants, the pot plants can be displaced for further treatment.  Obviously, it is also possible to deliver crops in this way to, for example, a cultivation surface.

Patent CA-2635164-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SNOWBALL MALCOLM ROBERT
IPC: A23L2/50
Filed: 2008-06-18
Abstract: An apparatus for disinfecting fluids comprises a thin flow channel 12 which extends between a pair of parallel discs 16,18. The fluid to be treated flows radially of the discs 16,18 through the flow channel 12 where it is irradiated axially of the discs by ultra-violet light emitted by one or more lamps 14. At least one of the discs 16,18 is rotated to cause relative movement therebetween. The relative rotation of the discs 16,18 creates a turbulent flow of fluid within the flow channel 12 to ensure that the fluid circulates and swirls close to the opposed surfaces of the discs, thereby ensuring that all parts of the fluid are exposed to an intense dose of ultra-violet radiation. The thin planar flow channel 12 enables a relatively large volume of fluid to be efficiently disinfected since the ultra-violet radiation can pass axially of the discs 16,18 through the thin fluid layer over the large surface area of the discs 16,18 without suffering from significant UV absorption.

User interfaces employ the workflows to interactively direct users of the system in managing multiple categories of assets of the business practice, including employees, client accounts, inventory, and records.
Patent CA-2636810-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PRUSCINO ANGELO
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2007-02-09
Abstract: A method and system are provided for performing anticipatory changes to a resource governed by a locking mechanism. Entities (such as transactions in a database system) that want to modify a resource request permission to modify the resource. However, prior to receiving permission, they make anticipatory changes to a private version of the resource. The entities are prevented from making the anticipatory changes permanent until they receive permission to make the changes. Because they can make the changes, and proceed to other operations, before receiving permission, any delay in receiving permission has less adverse effect on their performance.

Title: Puck retriever
Inventor: WRIGHT WILLIAM IRA
IPC: A63B71/02
Filed: 2008-11-19
Abstract: A puck retriever has a hollow interior of diameter larger than that of a puck for use in the game of hockey. A ring of rubber or similar resiliently deformable material is located adjacent to the lower end of the tube. The ring has an inner edge which defines a circular inlet of diameter smaller than that of a puck. The ring flexes upward when pressed downward against a puck which is resting on a flat surface with resulting bending upward of the edge and enlargement of the inlet sufficient to allow the puck to pass through the inlet. The ring is of sufficient strength to resist flexing downward under the weight of any pucks within the tube such that the ring prevents pucks within the tube from exiting through the inlet. The ring may be continuous and unbroken throughout its circumference or it may be cut into a number of flaps.
