Abstract: A non-linear editing (NLE) systems for editing and/or modifying 3D animation information comprises elements represented by clip objects which can be positioned and/or manipulated relative to a time line.      The elements can comprise conventional 1D (audio) or 2D (video) information or can comprise 3D animation information which can include animation objects and animation parameters associated with them, as well as 2D renderings of those objects. Positioning and/or manipulation of clip objects representing 3D animation elements can result in alteration of the 2D rendering and or re-rendering of the 3D information, as appropriate.

Abstract: The number of computations performed in rendering graphics is reduced by computing certain terms only at the beginning of each scanline. A scanline gradient is calculated once at the beginning of each scanline for cash of two texture values with respect of the x-coordinate of the scanline. Following the scanline gradient calculations at the beginning of each scanline, a pixel gradient is calculated for each pixel of the scanline with respect to the y-coordinate of the scanline. The sum of the squares of the scanline gradients and the pixel gradients are compared, and the larger of the two quantities is selected to be a maximum Rho constant term for the corresponding pixel, wherein the maximum Rho constant is used to select a texture map for rendering the corresponding pixel.      Furthermore, at the beginning of each scanline, a pixel gradient may be calculated for each of two texture values for a first pixel of the scanline with respect to the y-coordinate of the scanline. Derivatives are calculated for the pixel gradients, wherein pixel gradients are found using the derivatives, thereby eliminating the calculation of pixel gradients for each pixel.

Abstract: An injection apparatus that is particularly suitable for accurate and precise injection of eggs of varying sizes and that may be presented to the injection apparatus in somewhat different orientations. The injection apparatus comprises a generally horizontally oriented tooling plate with an opening therethrough, an injector resting generally vertically in the opening in the tooling plate with a lower portion of the injector depending downwardly below the tooling plate and an upper portion of the injector resting at or above the tooling plate. Means are included for raising and lowering the tooling plate and the injector therewith so that when the plate is lowered and the lower portion of the resting injector strikes an egg to be injected, the resting injector stops while the tooling plate proceeds downwardly until the injector disengages from the tooling plate and is free to move in a translational direction independent of said tooling plate.      When the tooling plate is raised it reengages the injector and carries it upwardly and away from the egg.

Abstract: An automatic transmission includes a first speed clutch and a first speed hold clutch side by side, and a first speed hold gear shift stage is smoothly established and the responsiveness of disengagement of the first speed clutch is enhanced, particularly at low temperatures. The first speed clutch and the first speed hold clutch are provided side by side, a second clutch piston for engaging the first speed hold clutch, is installed in a relatively movable manner inside a first clutch piston for engaging the first speed clutch, and a check valve is provided on the first clutch piston. When a first speed hold gear shift stage is established, after the first speed clutch has been engaged by supplying hydraulic fluid to a first clutch oil chamber, the first speed hold clutch is engaged by supplying hydraulic fluid to a second clutch oil chamber. Oil outlets are formed in a clutch housing and the hydraulic oil which discharges from the opened check valve when the first speed clutch is disengaged is rapidly discharged outside the clutch outer.

Abstract: A cyclically operable system consecutively dispenses an equal volume of a liquid from a storage tank. The system includes a hermetically sealed metering chamber at least partially submerged beneath a standing level of liquid contained in a storage tank. The metering chamber has an inlet port communicating with the interior of the tank. A one-way valve accomodates an inflow of liquid into the metering chamber from the tank via the inlet port, and blocks an outflow of liquid from the chamber to the tank. A discharge conduit protrudes into the interior of the chamber. A pump or the like pneumatically pressurizes the metering chamber to thereby exhaust a predetermined volume of liquid via the discharge conduit. The metering chamber is then vented to accomodate an inflow of an equal volume of liquid via the inlet port.

Granted: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A slurry spray machine for spraying a settable slurry includes a main passageway configured for receiving a supply of pressurized slurry and having a supply end and an outlet end opposite the supply end. A first compressed gas inlet is disposed intermediate the supply and outlet ends and in fluid communication with the passageway for introducing a first supply of pressurized gas into the slurry, and a second pressurized gas inlet is disposed closer to the outlet end than the first inlet and in fluid communication with the passageway for introducing a second supply of pressurized gas into the slurry. A pressurized supply of adjuvant is provided in fluid communication with the second pressurized gas inlet for providing a blended gas to the second gas inlet. At least one valve is provided for controlling the flow of slurry through the passageway and the flow of the first and second gases into the passageway. Prior to the pressurized ejection of the slurry from the outlet end, the first gas is injected into the slurry, and the blended gas is mixed with the slurry and the first pressurized gas between the first gas inlet and the outlet end.

Abstract: The present invention features compositions and methods that are useful for storing labeled detection probes and detecting whether a target nucleic acid sequence is present in a sample. Preferred compositions are made up of a detection probe containing a label susceptible to a chemical or enzymatic alteration and a protection probe that protects the label from alteration and/or decreases the ability of the detection probe to inhibit nucleic acid amplification. Such compositions can be used, for example, to stabilize a detection probe label and to prevent a detection probe from hybridizing prematurely to amplified or target nuclei c acid.

Abstract: Loading input data into a multi-dimensional clustering (MDC) table or other structure containing data clustered along one or more dimensions entails assembling blocks of data in a partial block cache in which each partial block is associated with a distinct logical cell. A minimum threshold number of partial blocks may be maintained. Partial blocks may be spilled from the partial block cache to make room for new logical cells. Last partial pages of spilled partial blocks may be stored in a partial page cache to limit I/O if the cell associated with a spilled block is encountered later in the input data stream. Buffers may be reassigned from the partial block cache to the partial page cache if the latter is filled. Parallelism may be employed for efficiency during sorting of input data subsets and during storage of blocks to secondary storage.
