Title: Method and device for continuous dosing
Inventor: HAFNER HANS WILHELM
IPC: G01G11/08
Filed: 1998-11-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for continuous dosing of bulk material allowing dosing and conveyance capacity to be improved, especially when there are substantial fluctuations in conveyor air flow. A cellular wheel sluice (4) disposed upstream from the dosing device (8) re-directs part of the bulk material to the container (2) when it moves in an upwards direction. The re-directing cells (7) of the cellular wheel sluice (4) leading towards the container (2) are preferably filled to approximately 30 % to improve tightness with respect to leaking air.
Patent CA-2309872-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PELLETIER HENRY
IPC: A01K97/06
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: This invention relates to the storing, organizing and carrying of any type of solid material. In this invention, the design of the utility box accommodates the installation of hinges on the base of the utility box and the use of pivoting pins to attach the top trays to the lids of the utility box. These features make it possible for the user, upon opening the utility box, to view the entire contents without removing the trays in the utility box. In addition, the design of the utility box, including the location of the hinges and the use of pivoting pins alleviates that stress which is normally placed on the hinges of other utility boxes of similar design when these utility boxes are opened, closed or transported.

IPC: C07C2/66
Filed: 2000-05-29
Abstract: An integrated alkylaromatic process using a solid alkylation catalyst is disclosed for alkylating aromatics with olefins and for regenerating the solid alkylation catalyst. A relatively low-purity aromatic-containing stream is used in producing alkylaromatics, and a relatively high-purity aromatic-containing stream is used in regenerating the solid alkylation catalyst. In another embodiment, this process is further integrated with a paraffin dehydrogenation zone and an aromatic by-products removal zone. This invention produces the benzene-containing streams that are necessary for alkylating and for regenerating in a more economical manner than prior art processes.

Title: Method and apparatus for on-line ordering of customized merchandise
Inventor: OSAK MITCHELL
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2000-07-19
Abstract: An on-line ordering system is provided by which a plurality of end users interact over the Internet with a non-expert customization system for the purpose of designing and ordering merchandise. Upon establishing an on-line session with the non-expert customization system, the system prompts the user for a set of constraints (e.g. quantity, price, time).  The system then shows the user an electronically displayed set of configuration options which he or she can choose from to customize the design of the end product. These options include, but are not limited to colour, size, structural make-up, material and component options.  The system has the ability to show the user/buyer only those options which will be compatible with the constraints laid out by the user/buyer and which can be supplied in a satisfactory manner by the seller operating the system. In addition, the user/buyer is provided with transparent information regarding the pricing implications of his or her option choices. The order placement system allows the seller to deliver the end product to the buyer by asking the user/buyer for information including, but not limited to credit worthiness, currency preferences, sample requirements and delivery specifications. Then, the custom designed product is converted, electronically into a digital set of materials which gives instructions to service providers (e.g.  the shipper, material suppliers, manufacturer, customs broker, etc.) on how to fulfill the order.  These instructions are a direct translation of the electronically displayed product into the end supplier's mother tongue. The order system then links to the necessary service providers via the Internet for financing of the order, material ordering, shipment, etc.

Title: Method for preferential outer retinal stimulation
Inventor: GREENBERG ROBERT J
IPC: A61F9/08
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: A method of focused phosphene gener-ation through deeper intermediate retinal cel-lular electrical stimulation to the exclusion of direct ganglion cellular electrical stimulation comprises the steps of: a) positioning a stim-ulating electrode in the vicinity of retinal tis-sue; and b) applying a long duration stimula-tion signal to the electrode such that deeper in-termediate retinal cells are preferentially stim-ulated over the retinal ganglion cells and proximal overlying surface axons. The long dura-tion stimulation signal is preferably a biphasic signal having a negative and a positive phase pulse which is applied in cathodic fashion. To preferentially stimulate the deeper intermediate retinal elements the duration of the long dura-tion stimulation signal is greater than 0.5 mil-lisecond per phase pulse, and preferably equal to or longer than 2 millisecond per phase pulse.  The biphasic signal is preferably adjusted to simulate a monophasic signal by adjusting the magnitude of the negative pulse in relation to positive pulse, and by adjusting the duration of the positive pulse in relation to the nega-tive pulse to maintain approximately net zero charge introduction. Preferably, the ratio of the negative pulse to the positive pulse is ap-proximately 10:1 or greater.

Title: Coil car with internal walkway
Inventor: COSLOVI ILARIO A
IPC: B61D3/16
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: A coil car has a pair of deep side sills and a trough structure mounted to, and suspended between, the deep side sills for carrying coils. The side sills extend between the rail car trucks and act as a pair of deep side beams for carryin g vertical loads. The deep side sills are arranged to extend above and below the center  sill of the coil car to give vertical stiffness to the coil car. The top chord membe rs of the side sills are outwardly splayed relative to the bottom chord members of the  side sills. Cross-bearers extend outwardly and away from the center sill to attach to th e side sills. The trough structure has three parallel, longitudinally extending troughs - a central trough lying between two laterally outboard outer troughs. Each trou gh is shaped to cradle steel coils, or other similar loads, between its inwardly a nd downwardly sloping shoulder plates. The shoulder plates are lined with cushioning to buffer coils during loading or travel. The outboard troughs are mounted abov e longitudinally extending stringers and are carried at a greater height relative to top of rail than the central trough. The car has coil stops to discourage longitudinal shifting of loaded coils. The coil stops have rollers to facilitate repositioning during loading, and a mid-span step and hand grabs to facilitate climbing over the coil stop  by personnel walking along the trough structure.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is an apparatus for transcoding a coded multiplexed sound and moving picture sequence comprises the rate converter, which is operated to compress only the video bit streams, which have extremely large information volume. The compression operation is carried out through the steps of (a) operating the MPEG-2 TS demultiplexer to demultiplex the input MPEG-2 transport streams into video TS, audio TS, and system information TS; (b) operating the MPEG-2 video transcoder to transcode the video TS to generate output video TS having information volume less than the video TS; (c) operating the system controller to modify or not modify part of fixed codes of the system information TS in accordance with the output MPEG-2 transport streams; (d) operating the MPEG-2 TS multiplexer to multiplex the video TS thus transcoded, the audio TS, and the eventually partly-modified or not modified system information TS into output MPEG-2 transport streams, and output the output MPEG-2 transport streams, thereby making it possible to control the output bit rate less than the input bit rate.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une nouvelle population de lymphocytes exprimant à l'extérieur de la cellule un antigène reconnu par des MAb MO2 mais n'exprimant pas cet antigène sur leur surface. Ces cellules sont dénommées <=cellules MO2?+¿>=. Le taux de cellules MO2?+¿ est plus élevé dans des prélèvements sanguins de sujets atteints de diverses infections, notamment d'infection par le VIH, par rapport au taux présenté par des sujets sains. Ces cellules s'avèrent donc des plus utiles s'agissant de diagnostiquer une probabilité élevée de l'existence de cette infection. La connaissance du taux de cellules MO2?+¿ dans le sang d'un sujet est également utile pour déterminer l'efficacité de différents traitements anti-infectieux.
