Title: Derivatized reduced malto-oligosaccharides
Inventor: BARRESI FRANK W
IPC: A23L1/09
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: Disclosed are derivatized malto-oligosaccharides and methods for the preparation thereof. In accordance with the disclosed invention, a malto-oligosaccharide is hydrogenated to thereby obtain a hydrogenated malto-oligosaccharide, and the resulting hydrogenated malto-oligosaccharide a derivatized, such as via oxidation, esterification, etherification, or enzymatic modification. The derivatization of such hydrogenated malto-oligosaccharides results in a surprisingly low level of a formation of by-products and products of degradation. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, a mixture of malto-oligosaccharides is catalytically hydrogenated under reaction conditions suitable to substantially preserve the degree of polymerization (DP) profile of the mixture. The resulting malto-oligosaccharide mixture then is derivatized to form a derivatized malto-oligosaccharide mixture.

Title: Test for brake fluid age and condition
Inventor: PETTY JON A
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2000-07-20
Abstract: A reactive test strip (10) having a pre-exposure color is used to measure and indicate the concentration of copper ions in brake fluid in terms of a readily visible color change. The strip is immersed in the fluid within a brake fluid container (30) and any resulting color change is compared to a color chart (20) and a known test standard representative of the maximum concentration determined empirically to correspond to a boiling point considered safe for normal operation. If the color change indicates a higher copper concentration, then the fluid is considered inadequate for safe operation and thus recommended for replacement without further tests. Similar copper or metal strips can also be used to determine iron or zinc concentration. An automated embodiment of the invention includes an optical instrument to compare the color obtained during the test against a predetermined test standard and determine whether a brake fluid change is recommended.

Title: Harvester speed control with header position input
Inventor: COERS BRUCE ALAN
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A system for harvester speed control includes a header position sensor connected to a processor. If the header is lowered during crop cutting, harvester speed is immediately decreased to prevent a sudden increase in material downstream of the feeder house input. The percentage speed reduction preferably is approximately equal to the estimated percentage increase in material for the given height change as set manually by the operator, calculated during a brief calibration process, or derived utilizing an adaptive learning technique. Signals from a throughput transducer and from harvesting quality transducers such as grain loss transducers are communicated to the processor to determine desired harvester speed.

Patent CA-2389710-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JAMALABAD VIKRAM RAMESH
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne le domaine des recherches topologiques, et plus précisément un procédé et un dispositif permettant la sélection d'entités fonctionnelles dans un espace topologique. On utilise des techniques classiques de division d'espace physique et des caractéristiques propres aux entités pour répartir ces entités entre des groupes de taille limitée qui se chevauchent. La répartition repose sur la fonctionnalité et l'emplacement des entités plutôt que sur leur morphologie. Une valeur d'appartenance aux groupes, allant de 0 à 1, est attribuée à chaque entité d'un groupe, ce qui donne des caractéristiques floues aux groupes. La variation dynamique de la portée efficace des entités résulte d'un transfert d'appartenance aux groupes en fonction de cette variabilité de portée efficace. Il est possible d'établir une métrique à partir de la liste des valeurs d'appartenance de chaque entité pour assurer une comparaison dimensionnelle unique entre deux entités disparates décrites dans plusieurs dimensions.
