Patent CA-2220581-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KING RICHARD
IPC: A01K31/06
Filed: 1997-11-10
Abstract: A removable bird feeding bowl has an upper lip and a circumferential locking surface which is spaced below the upper lip.   According to a first embodiment, the locking surface includes two diametrically opposed detents spaced below the upper lip of the bowl.  The bowl may be used with an existing supporting ring by snapping the bowl into the ring.  According to a second embodiment, the locking surface includes a helical ridge having the form of a screw thread.          The bowl may be used with an existing supporting ring by placing the bottom of the bowl into the ring until the helical ridge engages the ring and then twisting the bowl so that the helical ridge makes a screw-like connection with the supporting ring.  The upper lip of the bowl stops the bowl from rotating through the ring.   According to a third embodiment, a removable bird feeding bowl and support ring assembly is provided.  The bowl is substantially the same as the first embodiment and the ring is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed cut-outs which allow the detents on the bowl to pass through the ring.  The bowl is placed in the ring by aligning the detents with the cutouts.  When the upper lip of bowl contacts the ring, the bowl is rotated so the detents are move out of alignment with the cut-outs and thereby prevent the bowl from being lifted out of the ring.

Abstract: La croissance de la plante peut être modifiée en obtenant une sous-production ou une surproduction de profiline dans la cellule végétale. Pour obtenir une sous-production de profiline, on peut transformer la plante ou la cellule végétale au moyen d'un gène transcrivant un ARNm antisens complémentaire avec l'ARNm transcrit par la séquence de codage d'un gène de la profiline et faire que le gène introduit s'exprime dans la plante ou la cellule végétale de manière à ce que l'ARNm antisens inhibe la production de profiline dans cette plante ou cette cellule. La sous-production de profiline chez la plante peut entraîner des modifications de croissance telles qu'un port nain, une réduction du système de racines et de poils absorbants ou un début tardif de la floraison. Pour obtenir une surproduction de profiline, on peut transformer la plante ou la cellule végétale au moyen d'un gène capable d'y coder la profiline et faire que ce gène s'exprime dans la plante ou la cellule végétale. La surproduction de profiline chez la plante peut entraîner des modifications de croissance telles qu'un port élevé, une expansion du système de racines et de poils absorbants, une expansion de la superficie foliaire ou un début précoce de la floraison.

Abstract: A method and system for packet switched radio channel (PRCH) traffic supervision is disclosed. A PRCH supervision function (414) receives a packet report (1002) for each data packet transmitted on the PRCH. The PRCH supervision function calculates an estimate of average data traffic (1012) for each packet call on the PRCH, an estimate of average data traffic (1012) on the PRCH and estimate of the average packet delay (1014) on the PRCH. The calculations may be done for the uplink and downlink on the PRCH separately, or, as values for the combined uplink and downlink of the PRCH. The results of the calculations may then be used to determine if a packet call should be admitted to the PRCH or if a packet call should be expelled from the PRCH.

Abstract: Two or more phased array waveguides are arranged such that they are interlaced in parallel both connecting the same two star couplers. Each phased array focuses the output channels to a different location. The separation between the two focus points is determined by a constant difference in the length of each individual array. A shift can be controlled very precisely to produce overlapping passbands while keeping low excess crosstalk between adjacent channel. The overlapping passbands effectively create a broader passband with a substantially flat top shape.
