Title: Wheel mounted adjustable roller support assembly for a basketball goal system
Inventor: NYE S CURTIS
IPC: A63B63/08
Filed: 2003-01-15
Granted: 2005-03-29
Abstract: A basketball goals system providing a high degree of portability is disclosed.  The goal system has a pole, a base member, and an adjustable wheel assembly. The adjustable wheel assembly is attached to the base member and transitions a set of wheels in contact or out of contact with the playing surface. The wheels of the adjustable wheel assembly are placed in contact with the playing surface by pivoting a cam on the axle of the wheels. The cam pushes upward on a portion of the base member, such that the base member is supported on the wheels. Once the base member is supported on the wheels, it may be easily transported to the desired location. The cam may be operated by an adjustment member that is coupled to the cam, such as a lever.

Title: Soft translating contact lens for presbyopia
Inventor: ZHANG XIAOXIAO
IPC: G02C7/06
Filed: 2001-08-16
Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: A contact lens has an optical zone with a distance vision zone and a near vision zone. The distance vision zone also has a first area that is sufficie nt to overlay a substantial portion of a pupil of a user and is disposed in a first position within the optical zone so that the user's pupil is substantially subtended by the distance vision zone when the user is gazing at a substantially horizontal point. The near vision zone is substantially concentric with the rotational axis and extends radially outward from the distance vision zone. The near vision zone has a second radius of curvature that provides near vision correction and has a second area that is sufficien t to overlay a substantial portion of the pupil of a user. The near vision zon e is disposed in a second position within the optical zone so that the user's pupil is substantially subtended by the near vision zone when the user is gazing at a near vision point below the substantially horizontal point. A ridge zone enables engagement with a lower eyelid of a user so as to provide vertical translation support, and a transition zone provides a smooth transition from the ridge zone to the optical zone.

Title: Fischer-tropsch catalyst enhancement
Inventor: SINEVA LILIA VADIMOVNA
IPC: B01J25/00
Filed: 2001-08-10
Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: A process of enhancing both the activity and the methane selectivity of a particulate Dispersed Active Metal ("DAM") hydrogenation catalyst is disclosed wherein the DAM undergoes low temperature oxidation in a slurry phase to form a stable, unique oxidized catalyst precursor that is subsequently reduced to form an enhanced catalyst by treatment with hydrogen-containing gas at elevated temperature, wherein one or more promoter metal oxides of chromium, lanthanum and manganese are added to the DAM. Precursors of the promoter metal oxides may be combined with the DAMs prior to or during formation of the initial slurry, during the oxidation step or between recovery of the oxidized catalyst precursor and treatment of it with hydrogen-containing gas to reactivate the catalyst. Conversion of the precursors to the promoter metal oxides is carried out prior to the treatment with hydrogen-containing gas unless said treatment itself produces the conversion.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a system for extruding, cut into strands, cooling, and chopping a ground food product. The system comprises a cooling unit, a conveyor belt urging the pieces through the unit, and a chopper for cutting the pieces exiting the unit. A cryogen source provides cryogen to the cooling unit. A feeder feeds the ground food product onto the conveyor belt adjacent an inlet of the unit. The feeder also extrudes the ground food product through a nozzle to place the stranded pieces onto the conveyor belt. A shear plate cuts the stranded pieces, while being extruded. A hydraulic system moves the shearing plate. The system is adapted to dispense cryogen to the cooling region at a rate sufficient to lower the temperature of the cut stranded pieces to a desired temperature when they exit the unit. A chopper cuts the extruded and stranded pieces immediately after freezing.
