Patent CA-2282200-C (CA)
Inventor: LITTLE HEWARD CECIL
IPC: B61D47/00
Filed: 1999-09-13
Granted: 2002-02-26
Abstract: A belt winding and storage compartment is fixed to an outward facing railcar surface. An aperture is provided in a front wall portion of the compartment. A belt winder is removably insertable through the front wall aperture to coil at least a portion of the belt inside the compartment. The belt winder incorporates first and second rods which are fixed at a right angle. A spaced-apart pair of belt-receiving members are fixed to and extend outwardly from an upper end of the first rod, parallel to the second rod and in a direction opposite to the direction at which the second rod extends relative to the first rod. In one embodiment, an aperture is provided in the railcar surface, in alignment with the front wall aperture. The aligned apertures rotatably support opposed ends of the belt-receiving members as the belt is coiled inside the compartment. In an alternative embodiment, a belt winder support and belt guide plate is fixed to the outward facing railcar surface. An aperture is provided in the plate in alignment with the front wall aperture. The aligned apertures rotatably support opposed ends of the belt-receiving members as the belt is coiled inside the compartment. The belt winder support and belt guide plate is preferably spaced apart from an opposed front wall portion of the compartment by a distance which is just sufficient to accommodate a width dimension of the belt between the belt winder support and belt guide plate and the front wall portion. This prevents the belt edges becoming jammed against the front wall and/or railcar surface.      Preferably, the compartment has a removable cover to prevent penetration of water, snow or ice inside the compartment.

Granted: 2006-03-21
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'alimentation (1) utilisé pour l'alimentation de porcelets. Le dispositif d'alimentation comprend un tuyau (2) monté pivotant sur une structure située sous une trémie (10). Une barre de commande (15) traverse la trémie (10) et le tuyau (2) et est fixée à l'extrémité inférieure du tuyau au moyen de raccords (25). La barre de commande (15) est constituée d'un matériau souple élastique et peut être déplacée dans un manchon coulissant (16) de façon à ajuster la flexibilité élastique en réglant la longueur de la partie libre (33) de la barre (15). Le tuyau (2) peut donc être défléchi lorsque les animaux poussent l'extrémité inférieure pour manger du fourrage sur une plaque à fourrage (4). Suite à une déflexion, le tuyau prend sa position de départ neutre. En donnant une dimension appropriée à la barre (15), on obtient une flexibilité élastique d'une manière simple et facile, le dispositif d'alimentation pouvant être réglé pour des animaux de tailles différentes, et, en particulier, des porcelets.

Title: Motion vector detecting method and device
Inventor: ANDO YUJI
IPC: H04N19/51
Filed: 1999-10-18
Granted: 2008-04-08
Abstract: In a motion vector detection method for detection the motion vector of a field picture conforming to the interlaced scanning system, a motion vector of a second field picture is detected in a pre-set search range using a first field picture. A  search range in detecting the motion vector for a third field picture is computed by comparing a field-to-field distance between a field picture to be referred to and the third field picture and the field-to-field distance between the first field picture and the second field picture. The motion vector of the third field picture is detected in a search range computed with a point indicated by the motion vector of the second field picture as a start point to reduce the processing volume in detecting the motion vector for the field pictures of the interlaced scanning system.

Title: Combination vaccine for enhancing immunity against brucellosis
Inventor: CHERWONOGRODZKY JOHN W
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 2000-12-13
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: A vaccine comprising a combination of Brucella "A" and "M"  outer--polysaccharides (OPSs) and "R" protein antigens for enhancing immunity against brucellosis is disclosed. The OPS may be obtained from different strains or species of Brucellae (i.e. combining OPS extracted from different bacteria expressing "A"  or "M"  OPS, or combining OPS and OPS-protein complexes extracted from different bacteria).  The OPS or OPS-protein complexes may also be obtained from a single strain expressing more than one OPS (e.g. from B. suis strain 145 which expresses "A", "M" and possibly other OPSs). The vaccine according to the present invention overcomes the limitation of previously discovered B. abortus "A" OPS which only protects against species and strains of Brucella that had "A" OPS but not against others with different OPS.

Filed: 2001-04-27
Granted: 2005-06-14
Abstract: A data side driving IC incorporates pull-up elements and pull-down elements to be applied with modulating voltages of +1/2VM and -1/2VM, respectively. A scanning side driving IC incorporates pull-up elements to be applied with a positive write voltage of +VW from a positive voltage supply circuit, and pull-down elements to be applied with a negative write voltage of -VW from a negative voltage supply circuit. Each data electrode is driven by a positive voltage of +1/2VM or a negative voltage of -1/2VM. Each scanning electrode is controlled so that it is applied with a positive write voltage of +VW or a negative write voltage of -VW or it assumes a ground potential or a floating potential. Since the data electrodes and the scanning electrodes can be driven with high symmetry of positive and negative polarities, the long-term reliability can be enhanced, while at the same time the peripheral circuitry can be simplified.

Abstract: Système pour évaluer des paramètres physiques tels que leur perméabilité absolue de roches poreuses d'une zone d'un gisement souterrain, à partir de fragments prélevés dans cette zone tels que des débris rocheux remontés dans la boue d'un forag e. Des fragments de roche sont immergés dans un fluide visqueux contenu dans un e enceinte. Des moyens de pompage injectent d'abord dans l'enceinte du fluide sous une pression croissante avec le temps, jusqu'à un seuil de pression définie, de manière à comprimer le gaz piégé dans les pores de la roche. Cette phase d'injection e st suivie d'une phase de relaxation avec arrêt de l'injection. La variation de pressio n mesurée par des capteurs durant ces deux phases successives est enregistrée par un calculateur. L'évolution de la pression durant le processus d'injection ayant été modélis ée à partir de valeurs initiales choisies pour les paramètres physiques des fragments, l e calculateur les ajuste itérativement pour faire coïncider au mieux la courbe de pression modélisée avec la courbe de pression réellement mesurée Applications à des mesures pétrophysiques.

Granted: 2010-06-08
Abstract: Selon l'invention, pour la mesure du flux massique d'un liquide ou d'un gaz, un élément chauffant (4) est disposé entre deux capteurs de température (5, 6). Le flux massique est déterminé à partir de la différence de température des capteurs de température (5, 6). Pour que la consommation en courant de l'appareil soit réduite, l'élément chauffant (4) est activé de façon impulsionnelle. On obtient une autre réduction de la consommation de courant grâce à un circuit de surveillance (12) qui ne met en circuit la partie de mesure (11) proprement dite que lorsque les signaux des capteurs de température (5, 6) remplissent une condition de seuil.
