Title: Initialising modules
Inventor: HUBERT PATRICK
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2002-04-08
Abstract: A method of initialising application instructions on a processing system. An application (602) comprises a number of dynamically shared objects or modules. Each of these modules may include data structures (614) that require initialisation. Modules are dependent upon each other, and a module initialisation order is identified by automatically registering a module's dependencies in an initialisation list (608) during module loading, processing module dependencies to identify all dependencies, and generating an initialisation schedule (609). Module initialisation (506) is then performed.      Plug-in modules can be loaded and initialised after the application has started, and the plug-in schedule is appended to the initialisation schedule.    Finalisation is performed in reverse order, when the application is closed.

Title: Pelletized animal bedding and process and tool for sifting manure therefrom
Inventor: PADGETT DANNY L
IPC: A01K1/01
Filed: 2002-05-03
Abstract: Animal manure is removed from a bedding material consisting of compacted and compressed pelletized sawdust particles or granules of relatively uniform size by a pellet fork specifically designed to enable the pellets or particles to sift through the tines of the fork while retaining all but the tiniest particles of manure atop the tines for disposal. The pellet fork is uniquely and specifically designed to provide an improved sifting function not previously possible with other bedding materials except when using a mechanized sifter, resulting in substantial material and labor cost savings, longer life and easier maintenance of bedding, reduction of cleaning time per stall, improved cleanliness of stalls and attendant improved health of the animals. The volume of waste and bedding removed from a horse stall during cleaning may reduce a manure pile as much as 70% compared to conventional use of straw.

The steps of the process for  producing the catalyst comprise mixing together in solution (a) a compound, or salt of a Group VIII metal, e.g., Co(NO3)2; (b) a compound, or salt of magnesium, e.g., Mg(NO3)2; (c) a refractory inorganic oxide, e.g., kieselguh r; and (d) an ammonium or alkali metal salt precipitating agent, e.g., Na2CO3, to produce a precipitated solids mass, or catalyst precursor, shaping and then reducing the precipitated solids mass, or catalyst precursor, to form a catalyst. In the preparation a solution of (a) + (b) can be added to a solution of (c) and (d) and precipitated as a particulate solids mass.
