Title: Enhanced hip & ridge shingle
Inventor: KUPCZYK STEPHEN J
IPC: E04D1/30
Filed: 1995-01-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a composition ridge or hip covering which creates an appearance similar to that of a wood shake or slate roof. The covering may be easily installed, requires no trimming or folding during installation and may be manufactured with no significant waste of starting material. The covering is accomplished by forming an unfolded sheet of roofing material into a fish-like shape having three distinct portions: a front portion, a body (middle) portion and an end portion. Each portion is tapered and each portion has a specially defined length and taper angle depending upon the shape of the shingle desired. Two thickened multilayers are formed in the body portion by folding the unfolded sheet, one being at the wide end edge of the shingle and the other in the main part of the body portion. The taper angles and lengths of the front portion and end portion are essentially the same.

Title: .pi.-bond aromatic vitamin chelates
Inventor: ASHMEAD HARVEY H
IPC: A61K31/44
Filed: 1993-07-28
Abstract: Vitamin and mineral absorption in warm-blooded animals is promoted by means of a class of vitamin chelates where at least one of the bonds between the metal ion and the vitamin ligand is formed between the ion and an electron rich .pi.-cloud of an aromatic ring of the water soluble vitamin. The chelate, containing a total of from one to three ligands, may contain from one up to three vitamin ligands which form a .pi.-bond with the mineral and, when present, one or two amino acid, dipeptide or tripeptide ligands. The mineral is selected from the group consisting of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg, Mn and Ca. The water soluble vitamin ligand is preferably a residue of nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, thiamine, riboflavin and folic acid. The amino acid may be any of the naturally occuring .alpha.-amino acids such as glycine. The .pi.-bond vitamin chelates are absorbed more readily from both the gastric and intestinal areas of the GI tract than vitamins or minerals administered separately or as mixtures.

Title: Electronic combine head float control system
Inventor: PANOUSHEK DALE W
IPC: A01D41/14
Filed: 1995-03-24
Abstract: An electronic control system for controlling the position of a combine harvesting head operable over a surface is disclosed herein.  The position is controlled based upon the force or pressure at which the surface is supporting the implement.  In particular, a hydraulic positioning assembly positions the head relative to the combined based upon control signals produced by a digital control circuit.  The digital control circuit monitors digital signals representative of the force at which the surface is supporting the head, and compares these signals with digital setpoint data associated with a desired support force.  Based upon the comparison, the control circuit produces control signals for causing the positioning assembly to raise or lower the harvesting head relative to the surface.

Title: Position dependent variable output toroue viscous damper
Inventor: WARCHOCKI MARK
IPC: A63B21/008
Filed: 1995-04-04
Abstract: A rotary viscous damper having a disc surrounded by a housing and cover, the disc rotatable with a shaft which penetrates the housing, a gap provided between opposite sides of the disc and the inside surfaces of the housing and cover for receiving viscous fluid, and triangularly shaped indentations formed on opposing surfaces of said disc and said housing and cover, said indentations on said housing and said cover arranged at selective rotational positions.         Rotation of said disc aligning opposing indentations on said discs and said housing and cover to create a rotary position of minimum torque and when misaligned, a rotary position of maximum torque.

Patent CA-2158838-A1 (CA)
Title: Container with head enhancing insert
Inventor: SILLINCE MARK ERICH
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 1994-06-17
Abstract: An openable but sealed container (50) containing a carbonated beverage (52) held under a super-atmospheric pressure includes a hollow insert (10, 12, 70, 80) which contains gas at a super-atmospheric pressure, which has a restricted orifice (22, 79, 84), which floats on the beverage (52), and which includes, orientation means (18, 72, 86) which orientates the insert so that the restricted orifice (22, 79, 84) is submerged in the beverage (52). On opening the container (50), gas from inside the insert (10, 12, 70, 80) is jetted via the restricted orifice (22, 79, 84) into the beverage (52) to generate a close-knit creamy head as it is dispensed.  The orientation means (18, 72, 86) is symmetrically arranged relative to a vertical plane containing the restricted orifice (22, 79, 84). Using a floating insert and arranging the orientation means in this way ensures that the restricted orifice (22, 79, 84) is always at the lowermost point of the insert. Thus the risk of the orifice being inadvertently exposed within the headspace in the container is minimised especially during dispensing of the beverage.

Title: Method and apparatus for pond water clarification and maintenance
Inventor: RUNYON LARRY
IPC: C02F7/00
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for improvement of water quality in a pond (20) or similar body of water. A main conduit (26) is located below the water surface and extending generally parallel to the shoreline (22). A plurality of distribution conduits (30, 34) are attached at intervals to the main conduit (26) and operated sequentially so that water pumped through the system causes circulation of water in the pond. Each distribution conduit will preferably incorporate an aspirator (38) to aerate the pumped water. The pumped water will also normally contain a mixture of microorganisms, enzymes and nutrients which are discharged into the body of water to clarify the body of water of contaminants and to maintain the water quality thereafter. Also disclosed is a method of improving water quality using the apparatus and the mixture. The invention provides for thorough efficient and rapid decontamination of ponds and elimination of stagnant areas, as well as for maintaining the ponds in clean and healthy conditions. It is advantageously used for golf courses, parks and similar areas, where the treated water is to be subsequently used for irrigation of the soil and vegetation.

Title: A hardware arrangement and method of driving a piezoelectric transformer
Inventor: KAWASHIMA SHINGO
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a piezoelectric transformer is disclosed. A transformer driver supplies the transformer with a driving voltage the frequency of which is controlled by a frequency oscillator. A load current monitor observes a load current flowing through a load such as a fluorescent lamp which is powered by said transformer. A frequency sweep controller controls the frequency oscillator when the transformer is initially energized, so as to execute a downward frequency sweep, wherein the frequency of the driving voltage is swept from a predetermined upper frequency to a predetermined lower frequency. The frequency sweep controller further controls the frequency oscillator, after the transformer has been brought into stable operation, so as to execute a further downward frequency sweep if the load current reduces to a second preset level lower than a first preset level exhibited during the stable operation.

Inventor: O'DONNELL MATTHEW
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 1995-04-19
Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for imaging blood flow from within a vasculature.  An ultrasound catheter probe carrying an ultrasound transducer array is inserted within a blood vessel.  The transducer array emits ultrasound excitation signals and receives ultrasound echo waveforms reflected from blood and tissue in a region of the vasculature.  A series of the echo waveforms resulting from a series of excitation signals are combined in a manner such that the echo signals from static features in the region, such as tissue and plaque, are significantly attenuated.  The combined signal primarily represents the relatively dynamic features in the region (i.e., the blood flow).  A blood flow image is constructed from the combined signal.  The blood flow image is colored and combined with an image of the relatively static features in the region.  Thereafter the combined image is displayed on a video display.
