Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for isolating torque fluctuations of a rotary drive shaft. The device comprises a first member ( 2 ) for connection to the drive shaft, a second member ( 3 ) for connection to a driven member and an intermediate member ( 21 ) interposed between the first and second members. The intermediate member comprises a radially outer ring ( 22 ) connected to the first member, a radially inner ring ( 24 ) connected to the second member and at least one resilient rolling element ( 32 ) in a cavity between the inner and outer rings. The cavity is defined by alignment of at least one pair of recesses ( 26, 29 ), one recess being on the radially inner surface of the outer ring and the other recess being on the outer surface of the inner ring, each recess having a ramped surface. Relative rotation of the first and second members causes relative rotation of the inner and outer rings so that the rolling element rotates and compresses.

Abstract: A method and system of processing animal waste, whereby liquid is removed from the waste and recycled for use in other applications. Moreover, use of the method and system facilitates capture of the solid waste, which may then be used as fertilizer. In the present method and system, waste sludge is fed into a geotextile container, which functions as a filter. The liquid from the sludge permeates the geotextile container, while the geotextile container retains the solid waste. Multiple geotextile containers may be used to further filter and clean the liquid. The liquid exiting the geotextile container flows into a liquid reservoir, from which the liquid may be drawn for use in other applications. During this process, the solid waste is trapped in the geotextile container, where it will digest and compost and may be easily accessed for use as fertilizer or other nutrients.

Abstract: Monoesters, diesters and polyesters are provided wherein both the acid-derived moiety and the alcohol-derived moiety of the esters are carotenoid compounds. The synthetic ester linkage between two or more carotenoids provides new compounds in which the similar and complementary properties of the individual carotenoids are combined. The new all-carotenoid esters may be useful as antioxidants, therapeutic agents, pigmenting ingredients in poultry feed or as coloring agents for fats. The polyesters have the potential to act as molecular wires with unique electrical conductance characteristics. The all-carotenoid esters may be prepared from the esterification of at least one hydroxy carotenoid with at least one carboxylic carotenoid, or via the reaction of the acid chloride of a carboxylic carotenoid with a hydroxy carotenoid. Preferred hydroxy carotenoids include lutein, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, violaxanthin, carotene diol, hydroxy carotene, hydroxylycopene, alloxanthin and dehydrocryptoxanthin. Preferred carboxylic carotenoids include bixin, norbixin, beta-apo-8-carotenoic acid, crocetin, diapocarotenoic acid, carboxylcarotene and azafrin.

Abstract: When a character key is pressed for inputting a character (S103: YES), the inputted character is stored in RAM so that the character will be inserted into the position of a caret in a character string (S105). The size of each character is determined based on the length of the character string containing the added character, etc., while the length of a tape image is changed based on the determined character size and the number of lines of the character strings so that the whole character string can be accommodated in the tape image (S106). When the caret goes out of a display range (S108: NO), the tape image is moved so that the caret will be within the display range (S109), by which the operator is allowed to easily check actual layout of a printed tape without the need of performing a complicated manual operation. <IMAGE>
