Abstract: A crop material is unloaded from a storage bin by providing a generally triangular pit arranged below the base pad surface of the bin into which crop material can fall from the bin through one of two openings in the base floor. Opening the door of one of the openings at the center of the bin allows discharge of the material into the pit by gravity to an apex at a bottom of the pit below the opening.  The pit has a bottom wall inclined upwardly and outwardly to exterior opening outside the bin. An auger standing outside the bin with an inclined auger tube is moved to a position extending downwardly from a top discharge end of the auger to a bottom feed end of the auger which is inserted into the pit through the exterior opening so as to extend to the apex at the bottom of the pit for extracting the material falling into the pit through the center opening. When the bin is emptied so that no more material flows into the pit, a second opening at the wall of the bin is opened thus emptying a path to the center from a door at the wall so that a bin sweep can be inserted to complete discharge of the material through the center opening. One part of the pit is covered by a perforated screen allowing injection into the bin of drying air from the pit.

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements in well logging using an optimized rephasing pulse sequence
Inventor: SLADE ROBERT ANDREW
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 2000-04-19
Granted: 2003-07-29
Abstract: A pulsed NMR tool has a magnet arrangement that is used to generate a static magnetic field having a substantially uniform field strength in a region of the formation surrounding the borehole. An RF coil is used to produce pulsed RF  fields substantially orthogonal to the static field in the region of examination. The nuclear spins in the formation align themselves along the externally applied static magnetic field. A pulsed RF field is applied to tip the spins into the transverse plane, resulting in a precession of the spins. The tipping pulse is followed by a series of refocusing pulses and the resulting series of pulse echoes is detected. The timing and duration of RF pulses are altered from conventional CPMG to maximize signal and minimize RF power consumption. An additional forced recovery pulse at the end of an echo train may be used to speed up the acquisition and/or provide a signal for cancelling the ringing artefact.

Abstract: The present invention relates to microwaveable sponge cakes, which when heated in a microwave oven, rise in a manner similar to conventionally-baked sponge cakes. Such sponge cakes are mesophase gel- containing. Moreover, such mesophase-containing sponge cakes, when microwaved, do not only rise as is observed with conventional sponge cakes, but microwave treatment of these sponge cakes results in highly palatable and light sponge cakes, similar to those that are conventionally prepared. The mesophase gels formed herein for use in sponge cake are highly viscous, even in the absence of polymeric protein or polysaccharide thickening or bulking agents. The mesophase gels is formed using two emulsifiers and an aqueous phase. The addition of the mesophase gel to the other sponge cake components results in a leavening action, and contributes to the palatability and lightness of the resulting sponge cake.
