Abstract: The invention is a portable boom and is a lifting device attached to an agricultural machine used for carrying and distributing particulate material like seed, fertilizer or other granular products that are used in the agricultural industry. These agricultural machines are commonly called air carts, air seeders or air drifts. The portable boom is used to tiff mini-bulk bags or containers from their storage location or from a transport vehicle used to carry the bags or containers to the location of the air cart in the field. After the bags or containers have been lifted off the transport vehicle, they can be located over the intake end of the portable loading device on the air cart, typically an auger. As another option, the bags or containers can be located over the filling hole at the top of the tank(s) of the air cart. When it is desired to clean out remaining seed from the air cart, the portable boom can be used to position the bag or container under the discharge of the auger as it is used to unload the product from the tank of the air cart. The portable boom is designed to put minimal stresses on the air cart to which it is attached.

Title: Pressurized direct contact heat exchange process
Inventor: HELLEUR DONALD
IPC: F01K3/18
Filed: 2003-02-25
Abstract: Process for converting latent heat of water vapor, appearing with non-condensable gases expelled into the atmosphere, into more useful forms of energy, e.g.  process steam / electricity. It uses pressurized direct contact heat exchange systems to achieve this conversion at high thermal efficiencies.   It has application to sources of these gases, such as pressure combustion of wet biomass fuels, where pressures in the range of 250 psia have been used e.g. in the "The Clean Coal Technology Program" sponsored by the US Department of Energy.   When pressure combustion is used in combination with pressurized water electrolysis it produces pressurized by-product hydrogen. It can be used to extract methane from methane hydrate ice located below the earth and sea. It has application to the Pulp & Paper Industry, where air-steam exhausts and effluents can be reclaimed and biomass burnt to produce process steam I electricity and water for reuse.        It is pertinent to the "greenhouse gas" problem.

Title: Generation d'un signal optique multiniveau
Inventor: GRIFFIN ROBERT
IPC: H04B10/54
Filed: 2001-08-20
Abstract: L'utilisation de la signalisation multiniveau dans des liaisons optiques peut constituer une amélioration de la capacité d'un système comparativement à la signalisation binaire classique. A la différence des systèmes électroniques et radio classiques, dans des liaisons optiquement amplifiées - dans lesquelles le bruit optique est dominant les niveaux de signalisation équidistants ne sont pas optimum. Pour ces liaisons, l'utilisation de niveaux de signalisation ayant un espacement quadratique peut assurer un taux d'erreurs sur les bits plus faible pour une puissance de signal donnée, ce qui permet d'atteindre une réduction de 6 dB de la puissance optique injectée. Cette invention concerne un système qui permet de produire une signalisation optique multiniveau avec un espacement quadratique. Un générateur de signal optique multiniveau est utilisé pour générer un signal optique multiniveau dans des liaisons optiques en réponse à au moins deux signaux électriques. Un dispositif de source de lumière produit un signal optique respectif pour chaque signal électrique au moyen de deux sources de lumières distinctes correspondant à chaque signal électrique ou de préférence, au moyen d'une seule source optique et d'un diviseur de faisceau. Chaque signal optique est modulé en réponse à son signal électrique respectif et les signaux sont combinés pour former le signal optique multiniveau, de préférence avec un espacement quadratique.
