Patent CA-2287734-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CRISP IAN
IPC: B61J1/12
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: The invention provides a novel auxiliary truck for supporting a rail car wheel-axle set above and out of contact with parallel rail tracks, to enable a rail car with inoperative wheels to be shunted along the tracks to a repair location. The auxiliary truck has two parallel truck wheel axle assemblies, upon which are mounted two rail car wheel support assemblies. Each axle assembly includes two truck wheels centrally mounted on stub axles, and each stub axle is releasably secured into a transverse tubular brace. The support assemblies are built up of a pair of parallel elongate plates, with one truck wheel from each of the two axle assemblies disposed between. Each plate includes a stub axle cradle for releasably journalling the stub axles. Two shoulder pins releasably connect a central portion of each parallel plate pair together spaced apart a selected distance. The stub axle cradle preferably forms a semicylindrical recess disposed at lower front and rear corners of each plate with an open mouth inclined at an acute angle relative to horizontal. Although the carrying capacity of the assembled truck is over 75 tons, the individual components of the truck all weight under pounds and can be easily carried by members of the train crew to the site of the inoperative wheel. No tools are required since the components are secured with pins and snap rings that are quickly removed and replaced by hand. The simple design of components lowers cost to the extent that it is practical to include such a truck as standard equipment for each train.

Title: Detector having a transmission grating beam splitter for multi-wavelength sample analysis
Inventor: LIU CHANGSHENG
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1998-12-22
Abstract: A detector for DNA sample identification is provided with a transmission grating beam splitter (TGBS) (38). The TGBS split fluoresced light (26) from a tagged DNA sample (22) into Oth order and 1st order components, both of which are detected on a two-dimensional detector array (31) of a CCD camera (30).      The DNA samples are tagged with four fluorescent dyes, one dye specific for each nucleotide, and all four dyes responding in slightly different manner to the same monochromatic excitation signal. The Oth and 1st order components are detected along a column of pixels in the detector array, and are spaced apart from one another. The 1st order component is received by pixels whose position (39b) relative to the Oth order component position (39a) depends on the frequency of fluorescence. Thus, the position at which the signal energy is detected on the array is indicative of the particular dye, and therefore, the corresponding nucleotide tagged by that dye. Monitoring signal energy at the Oth order pixel and selected 1st order pixels, provides a set of data from which one may then identify the particular nucleotide.

IPC: B63B35/44
Filed: 1998-11-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus of removing drill cuttings from an oil and gas well drilling platform includes the steps of separating the drill cuttings from the well drilling fluid on the drilling platform so that the drilling fluid can be recycled into the well bore during drilling operations.      The cuttings are then transmitted via gravity flow to a material trough (11) having an interior defined by sidewalls (27) and a bottom portion. The drill cuttings are suctioned from the bottom portion of the trough interior with a suction line (22) having an intake portion (23) that is positioned at the material trough bottom.   Drill cuttings are transmitted via the suction line to a pair of hoppers (201, 205) that each have an interior (204). A vacuum is formed in sequence within the interior of each hopper using a blower that is in fluid communication with the hopper interiors. The two hoppers are positioned one above the other so that cuttings can be added to the first upper hopper via the suction line (40) and then fed by gravity to the second, lower hopper. A valving arrangement (211) maintains vacuum within the interior of at least one hopper at all times. A conduit (208) discharges from the lower hopper into a selected holding tank (209) so that a number of holding tanks can be filled in sequential, continuous fashion. As one tank is filled, the conduit is directed to the next holding tank.
