Inventor: JONES MARTIN KELLY
IPC: G08G9/00
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: An advance notification system (10) and method notifies system users of the impending arrival of a transportation vehicle (19), for example, a school bus, at a particular vehicle stop. The system (10) generally includes an on-board vehicle control unit (VCU) (12) for each vehicle (19) and a base station control unit (BSCU) (14) for making telephone calls to users in order to inform the users when the vehicle (19) is a certain predefined time period and/or distance away from the vehicle stop. The VCU (12) compares elapsed time and/or travelled distance to the programmed scheduled time and/or travelled distance to determine if the vehicle (19) is on schedule. If the vehicle (19) is behind or ahead of schedule, the VCU (12) calls the BSCU (14), which then adjusts its calling schedule accordingly. Significantly, a calling report generator (11) in the BSCU (14) allows a system user to solicit a calling report from the BSCU (14) that indicates the time(s) and outcome(s) of any previous notification attempt(s) by the BSCU  (14) to the user telephone (29).

Patent CA-2531930-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CURLETT HARRY B
IPC: E21B10/60
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: A method and system for drilling or cutting a subterranean well or formation (52) using a drilling rig (5), a drill string (55), a plurality of solid material impactors (100), a drilling fluid and a drill bit (60) is disclosed. This invention may have particular utility in drilling wells for the petroleum industry and for cutting formation in the mining and tunnel boring industries. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of solid material impactors are introduced into the drilling fluid and pumped through the drill string and drill bit to impact the formation ahead of the bit. At the point of impact, a substantial portion by weight of the impactors may have sufficient energy to structurally alter, excavate, and/or fracture the impacted formation. The majority by weight of the plurality of solid material impactors may have a mean diameter of at least 0.100 inches, and may structurally alter the formation to a depth of at least twice the mean diameter of the particles comprising the impacted formation. Impactor mass and/or velocity may be selected to satisfy a mass-velocity relationship in the respective impactor sufficient to structurally alter the formation. Rotational, gravitational, kinetic and/or hydraulic energy available at the bit in each of the bit, the impactors and the fluid may thereby more efficiently effect the generation and removal of formation cuttings ahead of the bit.

Abstract: A cell handling device capable of storing and carrying sampled or cultured cells without being contaminated from the surroundings in regeneration treatment and easily injecting the cells in the living body, wherein the cel ls are sampled from the living body, the sampled cells or the cells provided by culturing the cells are stored in a syringe type storage container, and the cells stored in the storage container are transplanted into the living body. The cell storage container is desirably such that a part or more of the inne r wall of the container in contact with the cells is formed with a cell unbond ed material. Since the cells can take in oxygen required for the living thereof in the container and are prevented from being adhered to the inner wall of t he container, the cells can be easily and rapidly transplanted to the living bo dy without applying cell releasing treatment to the cells when the cells are us ed in the field of the regeneration treatment.
Patent CA-2540781-A1 (CA)
Title: Controlled bale ejection mechanism
Inventor: DERSCHEID DANIEL ERIC
IPC: A01F15/08
Filed: 2006-03-22
Abstract: A controlled bale ejection mechanism for an agricultural baler is provided. The mechanism includes a bale support which is positioned below the bale when it is ejected, that catches and supports the bale. The bale support is then translated rearward by a hydraulic cylinder and guided by support rails. As the bale support and bale approach the desired location, the bale support is lowered by tilting the rail assembly downward. An articulating shoe is used to support and lower the rails. The bale support tilts as it is lowered, thereby creating a dumping action. If additional tilting is required due to geometry limitations, additional bale support tilt can be created by a weight shift of the bale support, changing the trajectory of the rail or torque induced by the bale support cylinder. The bale is set down on the ground and the ramp assembly resets to prevent the bale from rolling forward and preparing for the next cycle. Springs are used to retract the articulating shoe and lift the rails into transport position. The timing of this system is integrated into the hydraulic baler functions (primarily the discharge gate) so no additional action is required from the operator when ejecting the bale.

Filed: 2006-05-02
Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises a handle and an elongate shaft, and is operable to remove an anastomotic ring device from a patient. The elongate shaft houses a plurality of ring engaging fingers. Each of the fingers comprises sheath housing a wire having a hook at its distal end. Each hook may be advanced beyond the distal end of a respective sheath to engage petals on an anastomotic ring device. Subsequent proximal retraction of the hooks secures the anastomotic ring device to the ring engaging fingers. With the anastomotic ring device secured to the ring engaging fingers, the fingers may be drawn together to collapse the anastomotic ring device from an actuated, hollow rivet-shaped configuration to an unactuated, cylindrically-shaped configuration. The surgical instrument may then contain the collapsed anastomotic ring device, thereby facilitating removal of the anastomotic ring device from the patient.

Title: System and method for distributing route selection in an implementation of a routing protocol
Inventor: WARD DAVID D
IPC: H04L45/60
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: A partial best path technique distributes route selection in a routing protocol implementation on a muter. The technique also ensures that announced paths received from peers of the router (i.e., a ~load~) are compared in a correct order to select best paths that are then used by the router to forward packets and to advertise to the peers. When employed in a distributed architecture, the technique further reduces memory usage. To that end, the partial best path technique enhances a best path selection algorithm executed by the router to enable dispersion of the received path load among processing nodes or elements of the router, while maintaining the ordering requirement of the algorithm. The partial best path technique essentially provides an enhancement to the best path selection algorithm that selects a subset of paths from a plurality of paths, with that subset being the minimal subset needed to select the best paths.
