Title: Automated guided vehicle with electronic guidance between non-continuous rail segments
Inventor: ALOFS CORNELL W
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1999-03-05
Abstract: An automated guided vehicle (AGV) 40 moves between two or more discontinuous rail segments 10, 12, 13, 14.  When the vehicle leaves the guidance rail it is automatically guided to the start of one of the rails in accordance with instructions from a central controller, or that are stored in the AGV.  The rails include transponders such as 66, 70, 72 which tell the AGV guidance system where the AGV is in relation to the rail.  This enables the guidance system to determine where the AGV goes after leaving the rail, and to decelerate the AGV before it leaves the rail.

Title: Artificial or manufactured seeds in which individual plant somatic or zygotic embryos are encapsulated in a hydrated gel
Inventor: HARTLE JEFFREY E
IPC: A01H4/00
Filed: 1998-02-02
Abstract: Manufactured seeds comprising a plant embryo or other unit of totipotent plant tissue. The totipotent plant tissue is enclosed and thus protected by a manufactured seed coat that has an orifice covered by secondary end seal, or lid. The lid has a protruding portion that the totipotent plant tissue preferentially enters and contacts upon germination, facilitating the emergence of a plant germinant from the manufactured seed by dislodging or penetrating the lid. The radicle of the totipotent plant tissue is orientated toward the protruding portion of the lid. The burst strength and cross-sectional diameter of the nipple is selected to optimise the speed of germination and germinant normalcy for totipotent plant tissue of a given plant species. The lid is produced by pre-stretching a wax or polymer film such as ParafilmTM with a probe, resulting in a nipple that includes a generally cylindrical portion having a diameter similar to that of the probe.

Title: A chute propelled amusement ride with bungy aided free fall after the discharge point
Inventor: FEA DAVID
IPC: A63G21/04
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: The disclosure provides an apparatus for an amusement ride and fall.  The apparatus comprises a track (10) having a discharge point below which there is a substantial drop.  A thrill seeking passenger first experiences a ride by being propelled along a track (100) to the discharge point (20) and discharged there from with a horizontal component of motion.  The passenger then experience a free fall.  An elastic tie (70) having a secured first end and a free second end connected directly or indirectly to the passenger limits the free fall, and together with the horizontal component of motion imparted to the passenger, causes the passenger to swing and bounce for a period of time at the end of the free fall.  At the end of the ride and fall the passenger is released safely.  The disclosure therefore provides a thrill similar to that of a bungy or bungee jump but with enhancements.  In a preferred embodiment, the passenger rides on or in a conveyance (42) releasably mounted on a carriage (34).   The carriage (34) is propelled along the track (10) and at the discharge point (20) a substantial horizontal component of deceleration is imparted to the carriage (34) and enables the conveyance (42) and passenger to be discharged from the carriage (34) to continue in their own trajectory.  In this embodiment the secured end of the elastic tie (70) may be attached to the carriage (34), which does not leave the track (10), and the free end may be attached to the passenger or the conveyance (42).  In the latter case the passenger is secured to the conveyance.
