Patent CA-2151298-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VON DER OSTEN-SACKEN ERNST
IPC: B62K23/04
Filed: 1995-06-08
Abstract: In a twist selector grip for selecting pedal cycle gear ratios, the rotary movement of the grip (3) is converted to a longitudinal movement of a tension member (2).  The tension member (2) is fastened to the grip (3) and wound, similar to a screw thread, about the pedal cycle handlebar (1) or a sleeve (4) enclosing it.  The tension member (2) is guided in a longitudinal guide (5) fixed in position relative to the pedal cycle handlebar (1) at a relatively great distance, in the direction of the rotation axis of the grip (3), from the fastening point(6) of the tension means (2) to the grip (3).  By this construction, the arcuate distance  the fastening point (6) travels, upon rotation of the grip (3.), is significantly greater than the travel of the tension means (2) in its longitudinal guide (5), whereby a favorable conversion of large rotational movements of the grip (3) into small longitudinal movements of the tension means (2) is achieved.  The grip (3) is releasably retained in its speed ratio selecting positions by a spring biased detent having an adjustable retaining force.

Inventor: SUND LLOYD PHILLIP
IPC: A01D57/02
Filed: 1995-12-07
Abstract: A replaceable pick-up tooth assembly for a crop pick-up comprises a plurality of pick-up teeth integrally molded to and with a substantially C-shaped flexible mounting unit. The pick-up teeth have a greater height dimension in the direction of rotation of the raking pick-up, and taper in height dimension from a base end at the mounting unit and a tip opposite the base end. The thickness of the teeth in the lateral direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation is much smaller than the height dimension at the base end. This provides added strength in the direction of rotation yet permits flexibility in the lateral direction along the axis of rotation. The pick-up teeth rotate in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and parallel to the direction of rotation, and are concave in the direction of rotation with a large radius of curvature to provide added efficiency and accuracy in pushing up crops. The C-shaped mounting unit snaps onto a mounting bar of a crop pick-up.

Abstract: There is described an assay for the diagnosis of a mental disorder in an individual. A blood sample, a platelet-containing fraction thereof, or a fraction containing platelet-associated antobodies (PAA) shed from the platelets is withdrawn from the individual to be diagnosed. The withdrawn sample is contacted with an anti-human immunoglobulin antibody lacking the Fc domain (Fc-less anti-hIg antibody) and the degree of binding thereof to the PAA is determined. A degree of binding above that found in normal individuals indicates that diagnosed individual has a high likelihood of having a mental disorder.

Abstract: A Universal Method for packing large sized items and the device for its implementation have been developed to ensure packing the items of any sizes and shapes and to reduce the packing cost through crate elements repeated usage. The drawings of the device and the technology of the method are proved in 10 minutes. The device is a set of metal elements. Depending on the size and shape of the packed item the necessary elements are chosen of the set. To speed up packing and unpacking these necessary elements are assembled in unit assemblies that are used many times. Then the crate sized as needed is assembled of unit assemblies. The bottom of the crate is attached to the lower part of the item. It takes less than 2 hours to pack large sized items. In order to ship the crate back to manufacturer unit assemblies are placed on the bottom of the crate, then a lid is adjusted on the top and shields are adjusted on all 4 sides. If while improving the construction of the item its width,length or height are being changed then the change of definite elements of unit assemblies will ensure their usage in future.
