IPC: A01B73/06
Filed: 2010-09-15
Abstract: A gear-driven modular disc cutter assembly that may be used singly or in combination on a header of an agricultural harvester to form a modular disc cutterbar.

Abstract: A low-emissions 2-stroke natural-gas-fueled engine includes at least one cylinder with an exhaust port in communication with a silencer/catalytic converter unit. The unit has first and second volumes in communication with each other. The first volume dampens spurious exhaust pressure excursions and removes particulates in the exhaust.  The second volume houses an oxidation catalyst for treating exhaust to reduce exhaust emissions. The engine oil has at most 10 ppm zinc content to reduce metal poisons contained in the exhaust prior to contact with the oxidation catalyst. The engine oil preferably has a very low ash content to minimize sulfur combustion components in the exhaust to reduce masking of the oxidation catalyst. The first volume preferably has a pressure relief valve set to relieve at a pressure greater than the maximum normal operating pressure of the engine to avoid excessive pressure excursions of the engine exhaust from damaging the oxidation catalyst.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a portable electronic device may have an antenna and associated wireless communications circuitry. A sensor such as a proximity sensor may be used to detect when the electronic device is in close proximity to a user's head. Control circuitry within the electronic device may be used to adjust radio-frequency signal transmit power levels. When it is determined that the electronic device is within a given distance from the user's head, the radio-frequency signal transmit power level may be reduced. When it is determined that the electronic device is not within the given distance from the user's head, proximity-based limits on the radio-frequency signal transmit power level may be removed. Data may be gathered from a touch sensor, accelerometer, ambient light sensor and other sources for use in determining how to adjust the transmit power level.

Title: Efficient high-ampacity bowl-shaped tubular conductors
Inventor: DIAZ MAURICIO
IPC: H02B1/21
Filed: 2009-08-26
Abstract: A high ampacity busbar includes a pair of oppositely facing bowl-shaped conductors, each of whose cross sections resembles half of a hexagon or an open isosceles trapezoid, separated by an air gap in both horizontal and vertical configurations.  The air gap increases cooling efficiency by natural convection by exposing more surface area of the conductors directly to the air flow within the electrical distribution equipment cabinet. As a result, the overall temperature of the bus system is reduced. The shaped conductors have smoother transitions presented to the electrical current between the bends of the conductors. These smooth transitions improve current distribution throughout the conductor, reducing skin effects. As a result of improved thermal dissipation and reduced skin effects, the amount of copper needed to maintain the same ampacity is significantly reduced. Magnetic shields can be placed between adjacent busbars, reducing proximity effects.

La présente invention porte également sur des composés et des procédés pour le traitement de troubles du tractus gastro-intestinal, comprenant le traitement ou la réduction de la douleur associée aux troubles du tractus gastro-intestinal. Les procédés comprennent d'une manière générale l'administration à un mammifère qui en a besoin d'une quantité pharmaceutiquement efficace d'un composé, ou d'une composition pharmaceutique comprenant un tel composé, qui est conçu de manière à être sensiblement actif dans le tractus gastro-intestinal (GI) pour inhiber un antiport à médiation par NHE d'ions sodium et d'ions hydrogène dans celui-ci. Plus particulièrement, le procédé comprend l'administration à un mammifère en ayant besoin d'une quantité pharmaceutiquement efficace d'un composé, ou d'une composition pharmaceutique comprenant un tel composé, qui inhibe un antiport à médiation par NHE-3, -2 et/ou -8 d'ions sodium et/ou hydrogène dans le tractus GI et est conçu de manière à être sensiblement imperméable à la couche de cellules épithéliales, ou plus spécifiquement à l'épithélium du tractus GI. En conséquence du fait que le composé soit sensiblement imperméable, il n'est pas absorbé et est ainsi essentiellement non biodisponible de façon systémique, de façon à limiter l'exposition d'autres organes internes (par exemple, le foie, le cur, le cerveau, etc.) à celui-ci. La présente invention porte de plus sur un procédé dans lequel un mammifère se voit administrer un tel composé avec un polymère absorbant les fluides, de telle sorte que la combinaison agit tel que décrit ci-dessus et fournit en outre la capacité de séquestrer un fluide et/ou un sel présent dans le tractus GI.
