Title: Apparatus and method for pneumatically controlled graduated brake pressure release for freight train brake system
Inventor: ENGLE THOMAS
IPC: B61H13/00
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: A graduated release valve for freight brake control is provided for a railcar having a pneumatic control valve, emergency and auxiliary reservoirs each normally charged with pressurized fluid from a brake pipe and a fluid pressure activated brake cylinder device for applying the brakes on the railcar. A selectively operable graduated release valve can include a metering valve and a changeover valve which selectively interposes the metering valve to exhaust brake cylinder pressure in a graduated manner responsive to brake pipe pressure. Alternatively, the changeover valve can isolate the metering valve and direct the pneumatic control valve to exhaust brake cylinder pressure in a conventional manner. The changeover valve can be operated responsive to the pressure in an air pipe supplied with pressurized fluid from a remote source. An auxiliary reservoir charging check valve interposed between the auxiliary reservoir and the brake pipe prevents the pneumatic control valve from going to release by connecting the brake pipe to the auxiliary reservoir.

Patent CA-2560358-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MADSEN DAVID
IPC: A01K39/01
Filed: 2006-09-15
Abstract: This is an apparatus for keeping crawling insects out of hanging plants and bird feeders such as hummingbird feeders. This apparatus consists of a vessel with a centre post. The centre post is hollow to enable a wire to slide snugly through it. It is suspended longitudinally from a hanger. The articles to be protected will be attached to the wire at the bottom of the vessel. The vessel is then filled with water or anything else to repel the insects. The vessel can be of any liquid proof material such as plastic as can the centre post.   The centre post can either be moulded into the vessel or be a bolt with a hole through it to accept the aforementioned suspender wire. This bolt will be installed through a hole in the bottom of the vessel. A nut is then tightened on the bolt with sealant to insure there is no leakage of fluid.   As a result, the insects cannot crawl from the centre post to the edge of the vessel due to the liquid present in the vessel, the plants and feeders are protected from them.

IPC: A61K38/16
Filed: 2005-05-24
Abstract: Inhibition of HIV-1 replication by disrupting the processing of the viral Gag capsid (CA) protein (p24) from the CA-spacer peptide 1 (SP1) protein precursor (p25) is disclosed. Amino acid sequences containing a mutation in the Gag p25 protein, with the mutation resulting in a decrease in the inhibition of processing of p25 to p24 by dimethylsuccinyl betulinic acid or dimethylsuccinyl betulin, polynucleotides encoding such mutated sequences and antibodies that selectively bind such mutated sequences are also included.  Methods of inhibiting, inhibitory compounds and methods of discovering inhibitory compounds that target proteolytic processing of the HIV Gag protein are included.

IPC: G06K9/36
Filed: 2005-06-08
Abstract: A method for variable length coding an ordered series of digital signals, e.g., of quantized transform coefficients of a block of image data with a most likely-to-occur amplitude, e.g., 0, and at least one other amplitude, e.g., 1, to form a set of codewords. The method includes establishing a breakpoint along the ordering to define a first contiguous region and a second contiguous region, such that clusters of consecutive signals of any value other than the most likely-to-occur value occur mostly in the first contiguous region. The method includes encoding the signals in the first region using a first region encoding method suitable for encoding clusters; and encoding the signals in the second region using a second region encoding method. The first region and second region encoding methods include variable length codes such that relatively short codewords are formed to represent relatively more likely-to-occur sequences.
