Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: An ink tank is provided which can efficiently perform detection of information in an ink tank such as an ink residual amount in the ink tank with a simple configuration in which it is unnecessary to set wiring or the like. A solid semiconductor element, which is provided with an acquiring unit for acquiring environmental information of the outside, an information storing unit, a discriminating unit for comparing acquired information and stored information to make a determination, and an information communicating unit for displaying the acquired information or communicating the acquired information to the outside, is embedded in an outer wall of an ink tank such that the solid semiconductor element is exposed to an internal side and an external side of the ink tank from the outer wall. The solid semiconductor element can perform supply of its operation energy or exchanges of signals in a non-contact state or by connecting with a terminal provided in a supporting portion or the like of the ink tank directly, thus, it is unnecessary to set wiring. In this case, the information acquiring means can be preferably disposed in the part of the solid semiconductor element exposed to the inside of the ink tank.

Patent CA-2354231-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHROCK DONALD C
IPC: E03D3/02
Filed: 1990-04-06
Abstract: A fill valve (36) has a main valve (34) with a control chamber (44) for controlling the on and off actuation of the main valve. A tube (58) is in fluid communication with chamber (44) and extends into the water at the fill level (46) in tank (10). The flush valve (64) is connected to tube (58) such that upon actuation it raises tube (58) and lowers the pressure in chamber (44) to turn on the main valve (34) independent of whether the water level in tank (10) drops below its fill level (46) to direct water from the main valve to a rim wash conduit (28). In one embodiment the second end of the tube is connected to a volume expander member having an enlarged diameter to provide for a substantial change in volume as the enlarged diameter volume expander is partially raised above the fill level of the water tank to increase the volume for the air pressure chamber. The lower open end of the volume expander remains below the water level to provide a seal from ambient atmosphere during normal operation of the flush handle.

Title: Methods and apparatus for wireless transmission using multiple description coding
Inventor: GOYAL VIVEK K
IPC: H03M7/34
Filed: 2001-10-17
Abstract: A multiple description coder generates a number of different descriptions of a given portion of a signal in a wireless communication system, using multiple description scalar quantization (MDSQ) or another type of multiple description coding. The different descriptions of the given portion of the signal are then arranged into packets such that at least a first description of the given portion is placed in a first packet and a second description is placed in a second packet. Each of the packets are then transmitted using a frequency hopping modulator, and the hopping rate of the modulator is selected or otherwise configured based at least in part on the number of descriptions generated for the different portions of the signal. For example, in an embodiment in which two descriptions are generated for each portion of the signal, a first description for a current one of the portions of the signal is placed in a current packet along with a second one of the descriptions for a previous portion of the signal, and the frequency hopping rate of the modulator is doubled relative to a hopping rate used for single description transmission.

Filed: 2001-12-06
Abstract: A stent having marker tabs formed from a micro-alloyed combination of materials provides for more precise placement and post-procedural visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stent under X- ray fluoroscopy. A unique micro-alloying process is utilized to form the tabs, comprising a first alloy and a second alloy, wherein one of these alloys is radiopaque. This substantially eliminates the possibility of galvanic action between the tab and the stent. This process is also applicable to other medical devices.

Title: Process for the preparation of l-phosphinothricin by enzymatic transamination with aspartate
Inventor: BARTSCH KLAUS
IPC: C12P1/04
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: The patent application describes a process for the enzymatic chiral synthesis of L-phosphinothricin by transamination from its corresponding keto acid PPO with aspartate as amino donor. It is possible by a suitable reaction procedure to achieve a quantitative conversion on use of approximately equimolar amounts of amino donor and acceptor with complete consumption of the donor amino acid aspartate. The use of thermally stable transaminases makes a higher reaction rate and correspondingly large space/time yields possible.

Patent CA-2372108-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCGINNIS ROBERT OWEN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: Versions of the invention are directed to methods (including software), apparatus, compositions of matter, and new uses of compositions of matter for a new type of association based linkage study technique using bi-allelic markers. In this new type of association based linkage study technique, the bi-allelic markers used in the new linkage studies are chosen so that the least common allele frequencies of the markers vary systematically over a range or subrange of least common allele frequency and the chromosomal location of the markers vary systematically over one or more chromosomes or chromosomal regions. And the bi-allelic markers are chosen so that the markers' chromosomal locations and least common allele frequencies vary systematically in an essentially independent manner. This selection of markers achieves a systematic distribution of the markers over a two-dimensional region having the orthogonal dimensions of chromosomal location and least common allele frequency. By using the two characteristics or two dimensions of marker chromosomal location and marker allele population frequency in this unique way, the power and systematic nature of genetic linkage studies using association based linkage tests is greatly increased. These unique two-dimensional linkage study techniques increase the power of association based linkage studies to localize trait causing genes or polymorphisms of modest effect such as human disease causing polymorphisms.

IPC: H02J9/04
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: A generator transfer switching system having a multi-position generator transfer switch that enables a homeowner or user to manually select a group of circuits from among a number of pre-selected groups of circuits for transfer from utility company service to a standby generator via a single cam-operated switch. The multi-position generator transfer switch is comprised of a contact block having multiple stages with a shaft and a handle to turn the shaft. Each stage contains electrical contacts and cams operably connected to the contacts. The cams are mounted on a shaft running through the center of the block and connected at one end to a handle. The handle can be manually turned to switch a group of selected household circuits from the utility company service to an electric generator service. The switch eliminates the potential for electrical back feed from either the utility company to the generator or from the generator to the utility company.

Title: Conventional brake pipe continuity test
Inventor: ROOT KEVIN B
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: The method includes reducing pressure of a charged brake pipe to a predetermined pressure value. The brake pipe is then charged only from the head end unit. Each intermediate brake pipe monitoring and. charging device sequentially reports on the network a pressure which is an increase if the brake pipe is continuous between it and the head end unit. Subsequent to receipt of a report of an increased pressure on the network from an intermediate unit, the head end unit commands that intermediate unit to participate in charging the brake pipe. The head end unit determines the brake pipe continuity from the pressure increases reported by the intermediate units.
