IPC: B61K9/04
Filed: 2003-10-02
Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a temperature of a railroad train wheel 202 or bearing 208 comprises a lens 602 positioned in close proximity to a railroad track 106 such that infrared radiation radiating 618 from the wheel 202 or hearing 208 of a train traversing the track 106 is collected by the lens 602 and directed toward a focal point 606 of the lens 602. The collected radiation 604 is indicative of the temperature of the wheel 202 or bearing 208. A fiber optic cable 510 has a first end 610 associated with the lens 602 for receiving the collected radiation 604 and a second end 614. The focal point 606 of the lens 602 is at the first end 610 of the fiber optic cable 510. The fiber optic cable 510 transmits the received radiation from the first end 610 to the second end 614. A detector 708 is positioned at a remote distance 512 from the railroad track 106 and is associated with the second end 614 of the fiber optic cable 510 for detecting the transmitted radiation. The detected infrared radiation is indicative of the temperature of the wheel 202 or bearing 208. The invention further comprises a method for detecting a temperature of the railroad train wheel 202 or bearing 208, the apparatus comprising the steps of collecting in close proximity to a railroad track 106 infrared radiation radiating from the wheel 202 or bearing 208 of a train traversing the track wherein the radiation is indicative of the temperature of the wheel 202 or bearing 208. The invention further comprises the steps of transmitting the collected radiation 604 to a location remote from the railroad track 106, detecting the transmitted radiation at the remote location, wherein the detected radiation is indicative of the temperature of the wheel 202 or bearing 208, and generating an output signal 708 that is indicative of the temperature of the wheel 202 or bearing 208.

Abstract: Communication is performed for a first communication device (120) having a set of antenna element (125). A quality-indication signal (270) is received from a second communication device (110). A complex weighting is calculated based on the quality-indication signal. A pre-transmission signal (260) is modified based on the complex weighting to produce a set of modified pre-transmission signals. Each modified pre-transmission signal from the set of modified pre-transmission signals is uniquely associated with an antenna element from the set of antenna elements. The set of modified pre-transmission signals is sent from the set of antenna elements to produce a transmitted signal. The complex weighting is associated with a total power of the transmitted power and at least one from a phase rotation and a power ratio associated with each antenna element from the set of antenna elements.

Patent CA-2450000-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WESELAKE RANDALL
IPC: A23L33/00
Filed: 2003-12-18
Abstract: The present invention provides transgenic plants with reduced level of saturated fatty acid in the seed oil and methods of making these plants. The transgenic plants developed through this method contain reduced level of saturated fatty acid in seed oil due to expression of a gene ('desaturase gene'), that increases the unsaturated fatty acid content of the plant's cell, operably linked with a signal for protein retrieval and retention in the endoplasmic reticulum. Equivalent transgenic plants transformed with only the desaturase gene, without the retrieval and retention signal, had no effect on the content of saturated fatty acids in seed oil. One example of the invention is a plant expressing a heterologous delta-9 desaturase gene from cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans, which particularly converts lipid-bound 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids into corresponding 16:1 and 18:1, respectively.

Abstract: A bidirectional slide lock includes a first clip and a second clip that are slid and locked together. The first clip has a longitudinal axis, a pair of pawls, and a pair of flanges. The second clip has a longitudinal axis, a pair of pawl stops, and a pair of clip flanges. Both pair of flanges retentively engaging one another to hold the clips together to prevent movement away from one another. The pawls engage the pawl stops to hold clips against longitudinal movement. The bidirectional slide lock also has springs biasing the pawls toward the second clip so as to retain pawls in retentive engagement with the pawl stops. The method of use includes moving the first and second clips longitudinally relative to one another so that the flanges move into retentive engagement and cause each of the pawl ends to engage one of the pawl stops.
