Title: Bearing plate
Inventor: CALANDRA FRANK JR
IPC: E21D21/00
Filed: 1994-03-07
Granted: 2003-06-10
Abstract: An elongated channel beam for supporting the surface of an underground rook formation includes a base portion with a bearing surface for contacting the rock strata and an opposite surface having a longitudinally extending central rib and flanged edges for resisting deflection and bending of the channel beam under the load of the rock strata. A plurality of openings spaced a preselected distance apart extend through the central rib. A bearing plate is positioned in overlying abutting relation with each opening in the channel beam. The bearing plate includes embossed areas and longitudinally flanged edges that overlie in abutting relation the central rib and flanged edges of the channel beam. The bearing plate is restrained from longitudinal and lateral movement on the channel beam. Anchor bolts extend through the aligned openings in the bearing plate and channel beam into bore holes drilled in the rock formation.      Tightening the anchor bolt compresses the bearing plate against the channel beam with the compressive forces distributed over the surface of the bearing plate and transmitted throughout the channel member to support the rock formation.

Inventor: HONEGGER WERNER
IPC: B65H29/06
Filed: 1995-03-23
Granted: 2003-06-10
Abstract: A conveying belt is deflected around a stationary deflection roller and loops around the bottom of a deflection wheel. The deflection wheel is freely rotatably mounted on a lever and is prestressed in the direction towards the deflection roller by a spring element. The conveying belt, driven by a stepping motor, and the deflection wheel form a conveying gap for the products, which are arranged in an imbricated formation. In this formation each product, as seen in the feed direction, bears on the preceding product, with almost complete overlapping.        The products form a stack-like supply and are conveyed to the discharge location, with the result that a product is always available there for discharge.

Title: Buoyancy compensator having attached backpack
Inventor: EUNGARD WILLIAM C
IPC: B63C11/02
Filed: 1995-05-30
Granted: 1998-12-08
Abstract: A buoyancy compensator assembly for a diver is provided with a vest having an inner gas impermeable layer adapted to face  a  wearer  and  a  congruently  shaped  opposing  gas impermeable outer layer.  The peripheral edges of the inner and outer layers are sealingly bonded to each other.  The vest has an opening through   a back portion of the vest.   A backpack for removably retaining a longitudinally extending breathing gas tank has a baseplate generally disposed within the opening.  Attached to the periphery of the baseplate is an edge. The edge is disposed between and integrally bonded to the inner and outer layers whereby the layers form a chamber to be selectively inflated to adjust the buoyancy of the diver.  A restraining sheet is located between and alternately attached to the inner layer and outer layer to form aligned bands.  The sheet forces the inner layer to curve inward about the sides of the diver when the chamber is inflated.  The backpack is constructed so that when the breathing gas tank is strapped onto the backpack the baseplate curves to fit about the back of the diver.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système d'assistance électronique aidant un patient à se conformer à des soins préscrits, ce système comprenant un dispositif d'utilisateur et un poste central utilisé par le personnel soignant. Le dispositif d'utilisateur produit des messages vocaux, destinés à rappeler aux patients à quel moment et comment prendre ou redemander les médicaments préscrits et à aider le patient à se conformer aux autres instructions de santé et à maintenir ses rendez-vous médicaux. Des signaux vocaux numériques comprimés sont utilisés pour produire des messages vocaux de sonorité claire et naturelle. Le personnel soignant utilise le poste central pour composer les messages et pour stocker une base de données des messages vocaux et des données apparentées. Les données sont transférées du poste central au dispositif d'utilisateur, de façon à composer un régime qui est adapté spécialement au patient. Un système de mise en file d'attente est prévu pour les messages se rapportant aux médicaments ayant des posologies communes. Un paramètre est défini pour permettre un rééchelonnement adaptatif des messages, lorsque le patient ne répond pas. Le dispositif d'utilisateur émet des signaux sonores et visuels adaptatifs et interactifs, déstinés à aviser l'utilisateur lorsqu'un ou plusieurs messages sont prêts à être lus. Un dispositif satellite peut être utilisé pour émettre ces signaux destinés à aviser le patient qu'il doit consulter le dispositif d'utilisateur pour le message diffusé. Des touches actionnées par le patient sont prévues pour reproduire un message, répéter le message, confirmer que l'action désirée a bien été éxectuée ou reproduire un message de conseils. Le dispositif d'utilisateur stocke les données relatives à chaque action et inaction du patient, pour le transfert de ces données au poste central, lequel compile les données dans un rapport destiné au personnel soignant.

Abstract: A grain bin lid opener designed to selectively open and close the lid from ground level. A single cable originates from the ground level on one side of the grain bin, proceeds over the grain bin and through the top part of a galvanized pipe and then extends down the other side. The cable is secured at the top part of the galvanized pipe which is welded to the grain bin lid. To close the lid, the cable is looped over a closing lever arm, located near ground level, which is then lowered therefore closing the lid. To secure the lid the lever arm is locked in a bracket. To open the lid the lever arm is released from the bracket and the cable is pulled from the other side of the grain bin. The grain bin lid opener allows the lid to be actuated from the ground level, thus preventing possible injury to a worker who would otherwise have to climb a tall grain bin to open the lid.

Abstract: A method for checking whether the film stored in  new type of film cartridge is developed or not before the film is processed.  A detection sensor detects whether or not there is a nail on the outer wall of the new type of film cartridge to judge whether the film stored in the cartridge is developed or not.  Infrared sensors and visible light sensors detect whether or not the film fed from the cartridge under the instruction of a control circuit is developed or not.  If both the nail detection sensor and the infrared and visible light sensors give the same result, the result is judged to be correct.
