Abstract: Apparatuses for and methods of installing ear tags are provided. One embodiment of the invention is defined as an ear tag installation tool and which makes use of a pair of handle members (12, 14) which control the insertion of an inserting member (30) through an opening formed in the ear of an animal. The inserting member has attached to it a portion of the ear tag during the insertion process. The inserting member may be disposable and separate from the handle members after the insertion process is complete. In a second embodiment, the ear tag installation tool is an elongate tool having a handle (52) and a distal tip for receiving the inserting member. In a third embodiment of the invention, an ear tag installer (110) is provided which has some elements directly attached to the ear tag. The ear tag installer also includes a driving tool (60) which forces the inserting member (114) through the ear. In this third embodiment, the ear tag installation tools of the first and second embodiments can be used as preferred forms of the driving tool. In another embodiment of the invention, the elements of the third embodiment attached to the ear tag can be separately defined as a modified ear tag with inherent installation capability. In yet another embodiment, the distal ends of the handle members may be modified so that biasing forces are used to enhance the method of installing the ear tags.

Title: Apparatus and method for melting ice on roofs
Inventor: KASSOUNI VAN
IPC: E04D13/10
Filed: 2002-01-21
Abstract: A melting member is adapted to melt snow and ice as it contacts the snow and ice. The melting member is a tablet of sufficient size for melting a substantial amount of ice or snow before dissolving. One or more melting members are placed on snow or ice formed on an inclined roof of a building. The melting members melt the snow or ice as they move downwardly toward the roof of the building. The melting members then continue to melt the snow or ice as they slide downward along the inclined surface of the roof of the building. Water from melted snow and ice is then drained through the channels formed by the melting members. The channels also function to break up ice dams formed on the roof to allow for safe and easy removal of the ice dams and to prevent damage to the roof of the building.

Abstract: A method and system for generating and searching a tree-structured index of window vectors that represent database sequences comprise a window vector generation module, a tree-structured index generation module, a query sequence partitioning module, and a retrieval component. The window vector generation module partitions a database sequence into a plurality of overlapping windows.  Each window has a fixed length W comprising a fixed number of nucleotides, and the offset among windows is determined by a parameter .DELTA.. The window vector generation module then maps each database sequence window into a window vector. The database sequence window vector indicates the frequency of appearance of each k-tuple in the corresponding database sequence window. The tree-structured index generation module then generates a tree-structured index using the database sequence window vectors. The query sequence partitioning module partitions a query sequence into a plurality of windows and maps each query sequence window into a query sequence window vector. Each query sequence window vector is then compared against the tree-structured index to locate the database sequences that are similar to the query sequence. The list database sequences that are similar to the sequence is then returned as the result of the search.
